Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVROLET MALIBU AND HAVE HAD NUMEROUS ISSUES WITH IT. THE LATEST HAS BEEN THAT AT 47,000 MILES I DEVELOPED A CLUNKING NOISE FOLLOWED BY SERIOUS DIFFICULTY WHEN MAKING LEFT TURNS. AFTER TAKING IT TO AN AC DELCO REPAIR SHOP IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE INTERNAL SHAFT IN THE STEERING COLUMN HAD GONE OUT. FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO RECGONIZE A PROBLEM AND HAVE IT REPAIRED BEFORE ANY SERIOUS INCIDENT OCCURRED. UNFORTUNATELY IT COST ME $600 OF COURSE NOT COVERED BY GM. *TR
