My girlfriend was driving my car home from the doctors and all of a sudden the power steering went out. it cause her to hit the curb and possibly do more damage. she was only doing 30 mph on a busy street. i have a date with a dealership on the 27th of march 2019 to wait for the verdict of what there going to say. i have read alot of the post on here and have seen that it is a common problem. i also have a problem with my headlights going out i have changed them several times with different brands and they continue to go out. i have to run with my high beams on because the lights keeps burning out. this is cause and safety issue and could involve points on my license if pulled over. this is critical since i'm a cdl driver. the steering could cause death if traveling at a higher speed. gm knows about the problem and if public isn't notified that it's faulty could also involve a lawsuit.
Starting car and power steering light comes on. i turn it off and back on and it's fine. this just started.

While drinking the car the steering quits working almost causing me to be in an accident with my children in the car, the warning light came on saying electronic steering control was the issue. i take it to a shop and they tell me the malibu, g6, and impalas always do that and that there should be a recall placed on it, & it is either the electric steering motor or the tourqe shaft sensor. they said there have been people in accidents which resulted in death due to this issue. could you please check into this please as i am afraid to drive this even after the $1500 for repairs are done. i am a single mother and cannot afford to buy another new car. this is very scary when this goes out especially with children in the car. i have a video of what the car does when you start it up when the steering goes back to working. it does this while driving or sitting stationary. when looking on a chevrolet forum there were thousand of people this has happened to with numerous causing accidents.
