NHTSA Complaint #11296695 — 2009 CHEVROLET MALIBU

POWER STEERING GOES OUT AT RANDOM MOMENTS IT COULD BE 1 MILE OF DRIVING THIS VEHICLE OR 1000 MILES OF DRIVING THIS VEHICLE SO IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO KNOW WHEN OR IF THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE TAKEN TO THE SHOP AND I'M SURE IF THERE IS A SURVEY THESE VEHICLE HAVE MORE OWNERS DUE TO THE FACT THAT THIS DEFECT IS SO DIFFICULT TO DETECT AND THEY ARE SOLD OFF WHEN DETECTED. BUT THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IF THE POWER STEERING SUDDENLY GETS EXTREMELY HARD DRIVING (CUTS OFF) AT HIGH SPEEDS. SOMEONE COULD CRASH AND GET SERIOUSLY INJURED OR POTENTIALLY DIE. THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A SAFTY RECALL NOT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AND SHOULD BE REOPENED BECAUSE MORE PEOPLE WOULD GO GET THIER CAR FIXED IF YOU TELL THEM THIER SAFETY IS AT STAKE. AND ALSO THE DOORS GET LOCKED SHUTT RENDERING PASSENGERS OR DRIVERS LOCKED AND UNABLE TO ESCAPE IF DANGER IS IMMANENT.
