My 2008 Malibu has a power steering problem. On a daily basis the power steering becomes erratic and fails to react properly under normal driving conditions, usually at highway speeds. While stopped, the steering wheel will turn left and right on its own. When this occurs at hightwasy speed control of the car is dangerous. Two hands are needed to keep car in lane and not cross the line into other vehicles. Problem began when mileage hit 45,000 miles. Occasionally, a chime will occur and indicate power steering in the display but by the time the chime occures the steering problem is gone. This issue is consistent and intermitent on a daily basis. I have researched this problem for chevy Malibu and have found that thousands of Malibu owners are experiencing this problem. This is not a problem caused by inproper routine maintenance. This steering problem is a failure of a component in the steering assembly that is not subject to routine maintenance. This is a defective part!!! as a percentage of Malibus on the road that have this problem I would venture that it is very high and the number is increasing. The electronic assist powersteering in the i4 Malibu's is a road handling nightmare and gm has no interest in fixing this problem. I would expect a serious problem like this to be made a recall issue before there is a fatality and then gm and obama motors will be sued for reckless endangerment.
