We have classified the 684 complaints from 2004 Chevrolet Malibu about STEERING into the following categories.
When i accelerate to get onto the freeway and push on the gas the check light with the tool will come on and i am unable to steer my car and the steering locks. it isn't until i ease up off the gas pedal does it stop. this has almost caused an accident as i was unable to control my car.
Power steering fails under hard acceleration. when this occurs the check engine light come on and the steering has no electric assist. this continues until the acceleration is reduced. after reduced acceleration the check engine light goes off the the power steering returns to normal. this occurs intermittently, but typically on a freeway on ramp while getting up to speed and trying to merge with traffic.
I was driving my 2004 chevy malibu and it was fine until about 30 minutes into my drive. i stopped to make a left turn, and when i started to accelerate, my steering wheel started rapidly turning back and forth. left, right, left right... i pulled over and turned the engine off and it was still steadily back and forth.. power was still on. turned the vehicle off and back on and nothing! but the car was literally swaying back and forth, when this was happening and i was driving! very scary!!
As i began too turn while driving my power steering went out causing me to almost have an accident , it has happen other times as well . when we shut the car off and restart it the power steering is fine for a while . it was on recall for power steering failure and was repaired back in 2015 , now it's a problem again , so gm is free of the problem since they repaired it once !!!!! so please help us ! we can't afford these expensive repairs for a problem they claimed to have repaired !!!!!
When i'm driving down the road the power steering just goes out on me. i took it to my mechanic and he said it was under the recall and sent me to a chevrolet dealer (beckley buick gmc automall) they looked at it and said the recall was fixed on 04/18/2017 and this was not covered under a recall. they told me it needed a new power steering module, column. i took it back to my mechanic and he said that it was covered under the recall and to contact chevrolet and if they don't do anything to contact national highway traffic safety administration. i have two children and this is a concern for me because it just goes out while i'm driving and if i wreck and kill us or hurt someone else because i can't turn the steering wheel.
