Consumer Description

POWER STEERING FAILURE ON CHEVY MALIBU 2006 GM. THE POWER STEERING LIGHT ALMOST ALWAYS POPS UP ON THE DASHBOARD. IT WAS MOST WORST WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED ON ME ON A 70 MPH HIGHWAY AND I WAS GOING ABOUT 65. THIS PUT MY FAMILY'S LIFE IN DANGER AND MINE, BUT WERE ABLE TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. BY PUTTING THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND RESTARTING THE CAR. *TR
