2007 chevy Malibu started having power steering issues. While driving out of a parking lot my power steering went out and began flashing on my display screen. I pulled over and turned the car off, when restarted the power steering worked again. It was fine for awhile and then out of no where the power steering would just go out. It has happened on multiple occasions and at various speeds. Then the power steering began flashing and beeping on my display screen but the power steering was working just fine. Now it is beginning to go out while driving again. This is a serious problem and I am not sure why every other model with this problem is being recalled and this one is not.

I purchased my 2007 Chevrolet Malibu in March '07. For the past month or so I had been hearing a popping noise when I would turn the steering wheel. I called bartow Chevrolet and asked them if anyone else had any problems with the front end on the Malibu's. The service manager had informed me there were a few people who brought their vehicles in. I made an appointment and took my car this morning to have it checked. They replaced the intermediate shaft. After that was replaced one of the mechanics test drove the car and still heard a popping noise in the front end. Needless to say, I have to take the car back next week so they can also replace the bushings in the front end.
