Consumer Description

FOR A COUPLE MONTHS, I HAVE BEEN NOTICING A NOISE WHEN I TURN LEFT WITH MY 2005 CHEVY MALIBU CLASSIC. I WENT TO MY REPAIRSHOP AND THEY SAID MY STEERING FLUID WAS LOW, BUT THEY COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM. TODAY, I VISITED THE SAME SHOP AND THEY FOUND THAT MY STEERING RACK AND PINION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED IMMEDIATELY BECAUSE I AM RUNNING THE RISK OF IT LOCKING UP WHILE DRIVING AND BEING UNABLE TO TURN. I HAVE DONE SOME SEARCHING ONLINE, AND APPARENTLY THIS IS A VERY COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH MY VEHICLE. LOSING ALL CONTROL OF STEERING IS A VERY SERIOUS HAZARD AND I BELIEVE GENERAL MOTORS SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS DEFECT. THANK YOU FOR THE WORK YOU DO. *TR
