Malibu V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 90,000 miles

Had the steering column replaced at Muzi Chevy, brought back because the slight noise was almost immediately back. They couldn't hear it, said there is no problem. Brought it to a shop a year ago, they said it is just a pain but no problem. Problem got worse, brought it to Chevy in Texas and they think either the column or the suspension system. Why is this problem reoccurring and Chevy doesn't recall, when they know they can't fix and play dumb when it comes back?

Front end Rattles terribly and we were told dont fix it cause it was a matter of a small pin or something that FEB of 2006 GM would fix, I also have electrical problem with my Gas peddle button getting burning hot
