| 2006 | STEERING | I PULLED OUT OF THE PARKING LOT OF MY JOB ONE DAY AND MY POWER STEERING WARNING FLASHED ON MY RADIO. AT THE SAME TIME MY CAR SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. I DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO SO INSTINCTIVELY I CUT MY CAR OFF AND CUT IT BACK ON. IT TEMPORARILY FIXED THE ISSUE. NOW OUT OF NO WHERE IF I MAKE ANY SHARP TURNS THE POWER STEERING SHUTS THE CAR DOWN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT ESPECIALLY IF IT HAPPENS IN TRAFFIC. THIS SHOULD DEFINITELY BE RECALLED BECAUSE IT IS VERY SERIOUS ISSUE WITH THESE CARS. I READ ONLINE ABOUT HOW A LOT OF CHEVY MALIBU'S ARE DOING THIS. WHY HASN'T THIS ISSUE BEEN ADDRESSED? *TR |
