Consumer Description

POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON AND RINGING SOUND SOUNDED AND POWER STEERING WENT COMPLETELY OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION AS I WAS MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN. I MANAGED TO GET IT TO THE CURB AND CALL FOR HELP. AFTER SITTING A WHILE IT BECAME NORMAL, BUT I AM AFRAID THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER ABOUT THIS. SEE NHTSA ACTION NUMBER EA 04018 AND LOTS OF GM SERVICE BULLETINS. MY DEALER CANNOT HELP BECAUSE THE RECALL WAS FOR 2005 MALIBU MAX ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING AND NOT THE 2004, BUT IT IS THE SAME POWER STEERING UNIT. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
