problem #1

Oct 012005

Malibu 4WD 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • miles
Power steering pump replaced. High resistance to turning left. Often unable to turn the wheel as much as intended with the maximum pinion shaft movement. When turning left power steering is non existing with extreme power to maneuver steering to complete the left turn. The right turning steering is extremely loose. The failure is duplicative of the recall of the 1997 and 1998 Malibu.
