2005 Malibu maxx hatchback / v6 / at 30,000 miles on odometer steering problems intermittent for a month, mechanic could find no code when I took it to him and he drove to confirm with power steering having failed - dealer knew right away and replaced the entire steering column although no failed parts were provided to me - power steering still seems weak at times of low rpm - now at 32,000 miles both front bottom ball joints need replacing - they are a sealed unit with no grease fittings. Toyota isn't the only manufacture with safety problems.
