Upon starting the car the power steering indicator came on and there was no power steering. I had to shut the car off and turn it back on. This has happened over 10 times since the first time. The steering wheel has vibration when turning to the left like the motor is skipping. GM needs to do a recall on these before someone gets killed. I am considering getting a petition together to see about a class action lawsuit to force them to repair these defects.

2007 Chevy Malibu ls 3.4 electric power steering problem, the steering wheel will start pulsating either left or right at starting the engine, while driving it will move by itself like if it is trying to correct the position of the tires. For less than 2 seconds makes you feel like there is no control on the steering unless you correct the direction of the tires by gradually compensating on the opposite direction. It will display a warning sign for the power steering on the radio, on mi case I had it for two days, then it erased by itself, I tried to look for the power steering reservoir, without knowing that this car has none, since it is handle by an electric motor. I will take the car to my mechanic to see if he knows about these problem, since is no recalls so far in this 2007 Malibu for the electric power steering.

On 6/20/2011 I was driving down a major road with my grandson in the back seat in a child safety seat. Without warning my steering wheel started jumping and pulling hard to the left. The steering was stiff and hard to pull back to the proper direction. Then it pulled so hard that it was at a point I almost put my car into head on traffic or a ditch. I was fortunate enough to find a parking lot to pull into. I turned off my engine and composed myself. I was able to get my car back home. I had no warning of power steering system on my warning system until this problem happened. This is a major problem that needs to be on a recall notice. I have researched this on the internet and I am not the only one that has had this issue. There are many. This could have been a major accident since this was a major road (hwy146). We took my car to ron craft Chevrolet for the repairs within a couple of days. We do not have the part taken off, but I am sure they have this on record. I have the invoice and cancelled check. They replaced the electric steering motor. I would like to have this on a recall as soon as possible.
