Consumer Description

TAKATA RECALL I WAS AT A STOP SIGN AT A VERY BUSY INTERSECTION. WHEN I PULLED OUT MY POWER STEERING WENT OUT. I HAD NO WAY IN TURNING THE VEHICLE. I HAD TO REVERSE THE VEHICLE AND PUT IT IN PARK THEN TURN OFF THE VEHICLE. WHEN TURNING BACK ON VEHICLE WAS FINE. DROVE A MILE TO LOCAL BANK AND IT DID IT AGAIN IN THE DRIVE THRU. AS I WAS TRYING TO MAKE IT TO WORK IT WENT OUT AS I WAS PULLING INTO PARKING LOT. THE FIRST TIME POWER STEERING WENT OUT TWO LANES OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC HAD TO STOP TO KEEP FROM HITTING MY VEHICLE. I WAS COMPLETELY EXPOSED. THIS IS A FAMILY VEHICLE AND IN 9 YEARS THIS SHOULD NOT BE A CONCERN FOR MY FAMILY. THE CAR SAID "POWER STEERING" & "ESC" WHEN IT LOCKED DOWN. THERE IS A RECALL # 14772 FOR 2004-2007 MALIBU'S THAT STATE THE SAME ISSUE I AM HAVING.
