Chevrolet: 2004 Chevy Malibu Issue

Yes, it is endemic to these cars. I had my steering column replaced under
warranty on my '04 Maxx. Now at 65,000 miles I have a very loose feeling in
the steering over bumps. The light has not come on. The dealer said any fix
would be at my cost. They replaced the center section of the steering column
and the problem was still there.They were on the phone with Chevrolet Tech
service and recommended replacement of the steering rack for $395. I said
no, and am still driving it. I had huge problems with brake rotors which
cost me plenty. My power assist still works.
Others have complained that the power assist comes and goes. You don't have
much choice-get it fixed or trade the car. Go to the NHTSA website and see
all the compliants about Malibu steering. You can file a compliant online.
This is a safety issue but GM will not do a recall.
