Consumer Description

I OWN A 2004 CHEVROLET MALIBU. AT PRESENT TIME, I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE STEERING COLUMN REPLACED TWICE, DUE TO INTERMITTENT POWER STEERING FAILURE AND A CONSTANT PULL TO THE LEFT. THE FIRST TIME WAS AT APPROXIMATELY 8800 MILES, THE SECOND TIME AT 17700 MILES. I HAVE ALSO HAD TO HAVE THE BRAKE ROTORS AND PADS REPLACED TWICE. THE BRAKES STILL MAKE A RUBBING NOISE IN THE RIGHT FRONT, HOWEVER THE DEALERS TELLS ME THEY CANNOT FIX THAT. THE CAR CURRENTLY HAS 18000 MILES ON IT. I STILL HAVE STEERING ISSUES, SUCH AS TWITCHES IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND THUNKS AND CLUNKS WHEN DRIVING. I AM VERY UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVING THE CAR BECAUSE I AM AFRAID THE STEERING WILL GO OUT AGAIN. *NM
