| 2004 | STEERING | THE POWER STEERING WAS DISPLAYED IN THE INFORMATION DISPLAY CENTER OF THE RADIO. THE POWER STEERING THEN FAILED. THIS HAPPEND TWO TIMES. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL CHEVY DEALER AND THEY COULD NOT IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM OR DUPLICATE IT. A PROBLEM LIKE THIS AT HIGH SPEEDS COULD BE DANGEROUS AND CAUSE A DRIVER TO LOOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THERE NEEDS TO BE FURTHER INVESTIGATION ABOUT THIS TO AVOID SERIOUS PROBLEMS. THE STEERING WHEEL CAN STILL BE TURNED BUT EXPTREMELY DIFFICULT. THE STEERING BECAME HEAVY INSTANTLY. COMPLAINANT SON WAS EXPERIENCE THE SAME ISSUE WHEN PULLING THE VEHICLE OUT OF THE DRIVWAY. IT APPEARS TO BE AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM. OWNER DID STATE THAT SHE KNOWS SOMEONE ELSE WITH AN 04 MALIBU AND THE ELECTRIC ASSIST STEERING WENT OUT.CW PE04031_CAT |
