| 2004 | STEERING | FAILURE OF ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING. LUCKILY HAPPENED AT LOW SPEED AND NO TRAFFIC. INTERNET SHOWS THIS BE A PROBLEM WITH OTHER MALIBU OWNERS. GM HAS RECALLED OTHER VEHICLES WITH SAME PROBLEMS, BUT NO RECALL BY NHTSA, ONLY INVESTIGATIONS. LOSS OF STEERING IS ONE THING THAT SHOULD NOT BE ACCEPTABLE. *TR |
| 2006 | STEERING | TODAY WHEN I DRIVE BACK FROM MY DRIVEWAY, SPEED IS ONLY 5KM/HOUR, WHEN I TURNED LEFT ,SUDDENLY THE STEELING LOSE POWER I CRASH TO MY WIFE'S CAR. YEAH, IT IS A ONLY A SMALL HIT AND NOTHING DAMAGE. THEN I STOPPED MY CAR , RESTART IT AND IT IS OK .BUT AFTER I DROVE 2 KM, IT LOST POWER AGAIN WHEN I TURN LEFT. I GOOGLE, I FOUND IT IS THOUSAND OF SAME ISSUES HAPPEN WHILE GM ONLY RECALL THE G6 COBALT BUT NOT MALIBU,WHY? THEY SUCK ,I WILL NEVER BUY GM AGAIN. *TR |
