Consumer Description

RECENTLY BOUGHT A MALIBU 2009 ,4 CYLINDER. WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR THE STEERING WHEEL WAS SHAKY AS I DROVE THE CAR. AFTER A 4 DAYS OF PURCHASE I WENT ON THE FREEWAY AND THE SERVICE ESC / POWER STEERING CAME ON THE DASH BOARD . I EXITED THE FREEWAY WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN IT WAS DIFFICULT TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL . I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE AND TURNED THE CAR OFF AND THEN BACK ON THE CAR WAS AGAIN DRIVABLE BUT AFTER ABOUT 5 MINS THE CAR DID THE SAME THING AGAIN AND I COULD NOT MANAGE TO STEER THE WHEEL TO MAKE LEFT OR RIGHT TURNS. *TR
