My steering gear chasis keeps failing. Got component coverage from gm which proves they know its issue!!!.

Power steering failure.

Our 2005 chevy Malibu has had steering issues since it was new. The dealer and gm have not been able to fix it as of yet. The car has a constant pull to the left and on occasion (4 times) the car will veer to the left crossing lanes before you can get control and bring it back it to the correct driving lane. The repair so far has been to reprogram the steering module or replace it. This has not worked and is what they are attempting to do again.
