Consumer Description

BOUGHT THE CAR USED IN JANUARY 2006 WITH 30,000 MILES. WITHIN A MONTH, IT STARTED MAKING CLUNKING NOISES WHEN I MADE TIGHT TURNS. THE DEALERSHIP FIRST SAID THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. MY HUSBAND TOOK IT BACK, AND THE DEALERSHIP ADMITTED HAVING STEERING PROBLEMS WITH THIS YEAR OF MALIBU, AND REPLACED THE STEERING KNUCKLE. THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED FOR ABOUT 6 WEEKS, THEN THE NOISE RETURNED. THIS TIME THE DEALER REPLACED THE STEERING RACK. THIS TIME, THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED FOR ABOUT 6-8 WEEKS, AND THE NOISE RETURNED. DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE STEERING COLUMN, AND, SO FAR THE PROBLEM HAS NOT RETURNED.*JB
