| I am having problems with the electric power steering and from what i have heard is alot of other people have similar problems. my steering is real stiff where it needs two hands to turn the wheel and a good strong grip. i think this is unsafe and should be fixed through gm before this fails on others and cause a accident. thank you. | |||

| My steering wheel locked up as i was pulling out of my driveaway today and i was so close into hitting my sisters car, i was lucky enough that i was able to steer as much as a could went a little bit onto the bushes . but this is a dangerous hazard if i would have known this i would have never boughten this car.the steering wheel also gives somewhat of a vibration which i thought were the struts which were replcaced and the disc brakes. which alot of money went into replacing those parts. i am the second owner of the vehicle i purchased it in august 2010 and now i am scared to drive around because i never know when it will lock up again. i dont have the warranty on the vehicle and i dont have the money to pay for this to get fixed as i am already paying for college. i have read numerous other messages from other chevy malibu owners facing the same issue. what can be done to fix this? | |||

| Power steering failure on chevy malibu 2006 gm. the power steering light almost always pops up on the dashboard. it was most worst when the steering wheel locked on me on a 70 mph highway and i was going about 65. this put my family's life in danger and mine, but were able to avoid an accident. by putting the car in neutral and restarting the car. *tr | |||
