“I have a 2014 malibu that has around 86000 and as I was driving the car all of a sudden started jerking and my power locks were going up and down continuously along with a message that says service power steering, drive with care. After I came to a stop, pulled over to tun off the ignition, my radio was still on even after I open the door with the keys out of the ingnition. I am extremely frustrated with this problem and I attached an image of the message. I really hope that GM has a resolution for this.”
