2008 Chevrolet Malibu Classic Steering Problems

“For about 3 weeks now every time I turn the steering wheel to the left it wants to jump it acts like it is hanging up somewhere. On 3-2-2013 I got into the car and the power steering wasn't working. I got back home and shut it off and turned it back on about an hour later and it worked again.”

“My 2008 chevy malibu has a loud clunk noise when I turn the wheel sharply either direction, this occurs while in motion and when completely 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??!!”

“I lost power steering when I was driving on a semi curve while raining lightly. The car kept going to the left and I could not steer. I pressed brakes and car spun. I almost hit a sign on the opposite direction. Thank god nothing happened to me nor my son. There were no other cars involved either. There was a truck coming on the opposite direction but he stopped. Otherwise, we would have collided. I got on the ditch. I was able to get back on road and drive to nearest GM/Chevrolet dealership. …”

“I feel that I experienced the same power steering failure that affected other malibus (and chevrolets) and that my repair should have been covered under Chevrolet special bulletin #10183. However, something about my vehicle's build kept my VIN from being included in the range for this extended coverage. I first experienced problems on february 13, 2014. My vehicle had 97,600 miles on it. After I started the vehicle, the car made a dinging sound and the words power steering ' flashed on my radio information screen. I tried to drive a few feet but found I had no power steering assist. …”

“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.”
