Consumer Description
I WAS TURNING RIGHT AT ABOUT 20 MPH, THE NORMAL SPEED I TURN AT. MY MALIBU SLID AND I COULDN'T TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. THE CAR BEEPED AT ME AND IT SAID ESC ON THE DASH COMPUTER. I CALLED ABOUT THE RECALL FOR EPS, AND MY CAR DOES NOT HAVE ONE. KIND OF WEIRD TO SEE WHEN OTHERS ARE RECALLED FOR THIS ISSUE. I DID HAVE THE POWER STEERING TORQUE REPLACED IN 2015. THE CAR IS STILL DRIVABLE, BUT TO ME I FEEL UNSAFE BECAUSE THE STEERING WHEEL NOW HAS A MIND OF ITS OWN WHEN TURNING, AND I CANNOT AFFORD A REPLACEMENT RIGHT NOW, AS WELL AS AN ACCIDENT.
