Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The electric power steering on my 2006 chevrolet malibu maxx (51,500 miles at occurrence) went out suddenly as my daughter was pulling out of a parking lot onto a busy highway. there was no warning and the car was extremely difficult to steer. she was able to pull into a home depot parking lot and call me. she could have easily been in an accident and i am really concerned what might have happened if she had been taking a curve at a higher speed or had been in heavier traffic. would you please investigate as i am finding that there have been similar incidents occur with the electric steering with this car? *tr
