problem #1

Malibu LT

  • Automatic transmission
  • 61,000 miles

In the last month numerous times the light goes on indicating a power steering problem. It may stay on for a few minutes then go out by itself. I have seen all the problems with the electric power steering units on the 2004 Malibu and wanted to add my complaint to the list.
