NHTSA complaint: 2004 CHEVROLET MALIBU MAXX — STEERING
I WAS DRIVING BACK HOME AT NIGHT AFTER WORK A HOUR AWAY TO BOWIE TX I WORK IN FORT WORTH. GOING ON HWY 287 WHICH IS A BIG HWY FOR TRAVELING RIGS, I WAS GOING 65 MPH AND I CAME TO A TURNING THE HWY AND MY POWER STEERING JUST GOES OUT WITH ANY WARNING. I SLAMMED ON MY BRAKES TAPPING THE WALL IN THE MEDIAN. LOOKED ON THE INFORMATION BOARD AND IT SAID POWER STEERING. THE NEXT MORNING I LOOKED ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND AROUND 10 TO 15 WEBSITES THAT HAD THIS COMPLAINT WITH THE CHEVROLET MALIBU MAXX. I CALLED GM CHEVROLET IN NORTH RICHLAND HILLS AND THE ON IN DECATUR AND THEY BOTH TOLD ME THAT THE KNOW THIS IS A BIG DEAL THE KNOW ABOUT IT BUT AT THIS TIME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO FOR ME. THIS IS MY WIFE'S CAR AND LUCKY THIS DAY I TOOK IT INSTEAD FOR HER AND MY 3 YEAR OLD SON. *TR
