Consumer Description

TAKATA RECALL/ I HAVE A 2006 CHEVY MALIBU AND IN THE PAST MONTH EVERY TIME I CHANGE THE TURN SIGNALS AND BRAKE LIGHT BULBS THEY ARE ALWAYS BLOWING FOR NO REASON. AND MY CAR IS STARTING TO GET A LOUD SOUND WHEN I DRIVE IT AND STEERING IS GETTING HARD SOMETIME. I'VE LOOKED FOR POWER STEERING TO CHECK FLUID BUT EVERYONE SAYS MINE IS ELECTRIC SO I TOOK IT TO AUTO ZONE AND THEY SAID IT WAS ELECTRIC AND I NEEDED TO FIX THE TORQUE SENSOR ASSEMBLY IN MY STEERING. I PRETTY SURE THERE IS A RECALL ON THAT PART. AND ALSO I THINK THERE A RECALL ON A PART ON MY TRANSMUTATION. I'M TRYING TO FIND OUT ABOUT RECALLS ON MY CAR. CAN SOMEONE HELP ME CAUSE I'VE GOT MY KIDS AND GRANDKIDS THAT RIDE IN IT EVERY DAY. PLEASE HELP ME.
