| 2006 | STEERING | MY POWER STEERING SUDDENLY WENT OUT SUDDENLY ON MY 2006 MALIBU MAXX LT WHILE ENTERING THE FREEWAY. IT HAS HAPPENED 3 OTHER TIMES. IT RESETS WHEN I TURN THE CAR OFF AND THEN BACK ON, BUT I FEEL THAT IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. I HAVE TALKED TO SEVERAL AUTO SHOPS AND NONE OF THEM CAN FIGURE IT OUT, EXCEPT TO TELL ME THAT IT IS VERY COMMON. *TR |
