Electrical power steering randomly gives out while driving the car making it extremely difficult to control car and make turns. steering wheel shakes a lot when driving or parked. i checked online and malibu's 2006-2007 have a recall for the same issue. i called chevy service and was told there was no recall for my car with my vin.

On or around feb 19, 2019 my power steering gave out while driving to work. i pulled over and restarted my car since it was almost impossible for me to turn the wheel. after restarting my car seemed to be fine. until it happened again. the power steering light appeared on my dash and then again i could barely make any turns which is completely unsafe especially if i had to turn to get to a safe area to restart my car. after my own research, i called chevrolet and i was told that there was a recall on a similar part that would cause the same things as i was having and if i took it into a chevy dealership and had it officially diagnosed as the same issue as the recall which was a torque sensor with the power steering shaft i would be able to get reimbursed for the $110 diagnosis fee and the cost of repairing the vehicle. on feb 26 2019 is when i had my apt at camp chevrolet in spokane, wa ph:5094440968. they informed me that in fact it was the same part as the previous recall but because my car had already been fixed by that recalled part, before i owed it, that they wouldn't cover that cost. i would not of taken it to the dealership if i wasn't informed that with proper diagnose i would be able for reimbursement. this is a very dangerous issue and it was not caused by erratic driving but a known issue that was identified enough to cause the recall in the first place.
