2007 CHEVROLET MALIBU Complaints

ABOUT A WEEK AGO, THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO SHAKE VERY ABRUPTLY AND RAPIDLY. EVENTUALLY THE POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING. AT TIMES THE STEERING WHEEL WILL WORK BUT STILL CONTINUE TO SHAKE BUT TYPICALLY IT BECOMES ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER AS THE POWER STEERING HAS COMPLETELY FAILED. I'VE SEEN OTHER ARTICLES ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE WITH CARS THAT ARE THE EXACT MODEL A YEAR, HOWEVER CHEVY DOES NOT WANT TO HELP REGARDING FIXING THIS ISSUE. I HAVE CONTACTED THEM AND THEY INSIST THERE IS NO RECALL HOWEVER UPON A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH YOU CAN FIND ARTICLES ABOUT THIS ISSUE EVERYWHERE.
