| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Steering rack has been replaced 3 times on my 2005 chevrolet malibu maxx. the steering was acting erratic and "thunking" when steering. 3 times the power steering has quit on me. the car becomes extremely hard to steer. i know my wife and daughter would not be able to steer the vehicle in this condition. the first time the power steering failed, i drove it directly to the dealer. when i took the service advisor out, the system had reset itself and the steering was fine. the next 2 times, i pulled over and shut the vehicle off for a short time and restarted it and the system reset itself again. as mentioned, the dealer has replaced the steering rack 3 times, each time saying this is an improved part, and won't happen again. but it does. *nm |
