I have a 2007 chevy Malibu ltz. The steering column has locked up several times. The worse time happened about a week ago. I was having the brakes checked and the repair man drove the car and when he mashed the accelerator the cars steering locked up and he had to fight it to keep from hitting a block and concrete wall. He said the car was very unsafe to drive. I took it to the car dealer where I bought the car and they said it was the ignition switch. I was wondering if you have heard if gm is aware of this problem and if there has been a recall on this thank you.

From 8000 miles onward my chevy Malibu maxx has a clunking feeling in the front end when you turn. Malibus and other chevys report the same problem, chevy will not fix but says the steering shaft was mistakenly unlubricated during manufacture and may need taken apart and lubricated, they will not offer fix. The unlubrictaed steering column could potentially wear and fail.
