| When vehicles steering wheel is turned left or right it makes a loud clicking noise like its going to break. does not allow accurate steering while driving. the driver rear windows electic suspension wire popped and came unravelled and window drops. fuel level range sensor does not provide accurate reading. also, disabled fuel gauge arm in dash (fluctuates). diagnosis ran and seems to be no issue with fuel pump. while driving the arm bar that keeps seat level and in place snapped and seat fell as vehicle was in motion (70mph on freeway).. very scary.. since steering column already feels like its going to fall apart. | |||

| My 2008 chevy malibu has a loud clunk noise when i turn the wheel sharply either direction, this occurs while in motion and when completley stopped. i have read many reviews where it states it is the intermediate shaft and needs replace. i still have 1 yr left on war. but took it to a dealer today and they said its not covered!! if gm knows about this why have they not issued a recall to fit this dangerous problem??!! | |||

| Electronic power steering fails intermittently while driving making it very difficult to steer at low speeds. turning vehicle off and on fixes the issue. gm issued recall for other vehicles with electronic power steering in march 2010, my vehicle was not listed on that recall although it suffers from the exact same symptoms. | |||
