It appears as though this is an ongoing issue that GM needs to address. How many other folks had the same problem and didn't report it? I don't think the age of a vehicle matters, it depends on maintenance and condition of auto. I have over 80,000 miles, but oil and other scheduled maintenance was done. The sad part is, it doesn't seem as if there is an agreed upon fix.

I use my 2010 Malibu as my daily car to commute about 30 miles each way to work. One morning on my way to work and before getting on the highway, my car's dash starts chiming and my dash displays, "Service ESC, Power steering" and of course my steering wheel gets stiff and hard to control. I was able to pull over on the side of the road, shut off the car for about 5 minutes, turned it back on and had control of my vehicle again. I decided to head back up the road to my house as I could not drive the vehicle like that another 25 miles to work. Less than five minutes driving back up the road to my house, it does it again. I pull over, shut the vehicle off, turn back on and continue on my way to the house. It did not do it again but what if I had managed to get onto the highway at a higher speed than the side roads or if I had my kids in the car?! I know GM has a recall for the same issue on some model older years (I believe 2006-2007 Malibu's) but why not the 2010 model when plenty of people are encountering the same dangerous issue?! This is a HUGE safety hazard for the drivers of these vehicles and for others on the road. This has left a very sour taste for any future Chevy purchases! They seriously need to step up on this issue.

Have a 2010 Malibu. Driving along and warning light came on ESC service power steering. Steering locked up. Shut down and waited half hr and worked again. Noticed recalls for this but according to my VIN # no recall what is this all about. Will GM fix the problem noticed a lot have the same problem.
