STEERING:COLUMN
BOUGHT 6 CYLINDER 2004 MALIBU WITH 2000 MILES FROM DEALER. WITHIN TWO MONTHS, STEERING FAILED. STEERING COLUMN WAS REPLACED. SINCE THEN STEERING COLUMN HAS BEEN REPLACED A TOTAL OF FOUR TIMES FOR CONTINUED "CLUNKING" NOISE IN FRONT STEERING AREA. LAST TIME CAR WAS STILL IN WARRANTY. CAR NOW HAS 62,000 MILES AND CONTINUES TO CLUNK JUST AS WHEN NEW AND AS EACH COLUMN WAS REPLACED. *JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:MODULE
VEHICLE HAS STALLED NUMEROUS OF TIMES ESPECIALLY WHEN I AM AT A COMPLETE STOP AND ENGINE LIGHT WILL GO ON. SLOW CRANK AND BATTERY HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE. THE HEADLIGHTS AND INTERIOR LIGHTS DIM WHENEVER YOU SLOW DOWN TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP DUE TO THE STALLING ISSUE, MECHANIC STATES IT IS A PROBLEM IN THE COMPUTER SYSTEM AND WILL AND TO BE REPLACED AT MY EXPENSE. MOTOR MOUNTS ARE ALSO CORRODED WHICH IS HIGHLY UNUSUALLY DUE TO CAR ONLY BEING 3 YEARS. I WAS UNABLE TO GIVE THE VIN # DUE TO NOT HAVING ACCESS TO VEHICLE AT THE MOMENT. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP UNDERGOING REPAIRS.
