NHTSA Complaint #11360041 — 2004 CHEVROLET MALIBU

IT FEELS AS THOUGH THE STEERING IS LOOSENING. ALIGNMENT IS OFF AS WELL. BOTH ISSUES BEGAN ABOUT THE SAME TIME. A DULL CLUNKING SOUND CAN BE HEARD WHEN TURNING RIGHT. THIS CAR APPEARS TO HAVE ALREADY HAD THE STEERING REPLACED FROM THE 2014 RECALL BUT I BELIEVE THE REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE ALSO DEFUNCT AND SHOULD AND WILL BE RECALLED AGAIN. IT IS NOT SEEMINGLY DEPENDENT ON SET RPM OR MPH TO MAKE THE NOISE OR FEEL LOOSE IN MY HANDS. IT IS INTERMITTENT AND UNPREDICTABLE. CRUISE CONTROL STILL WORKING, EPS LIGHT NOT LIT. STRUTS ARE GOING SO MAY BE THE ISSUE. JUST IN CASE IT IS THE POWER STEERING HAVING NOT PROPERLY BEEN REPAIRED AFTER THE RECALL, OR REPAIRED WITH SHODDY PARTS, I THOUGHT IT BEST TO REPORT THE ISSUE. LIVES WERE LOST TO THE IGNITION SWITCH FAILURES FROM CHEVY, LUCKILY I PULLED INTO A SHOP IMMEDIATELY AFTER MY CAR SHUT OFF THE FIRST TIME AND GOT IT REPAIRED. MONTHS LATER PEOPLE WERE DYING. FRIENDS OF MINE. NOT ME. I TRUSTED MY GUT. I KNEW THAT WAS DANGEROUS AND I HAVE THE SAME INCLINATION NOW WITH THIS ISSUE.
