ALL OF THE SUDDEN MY POWER STEERING WILL CUT OUT. MY WHEEL WILL SHAKE LIKE THERE IS A TORQUE SENSOR ISSUE AND A POWER STEERING MESSAGE APPEARS ON MY RADIO SCREEN. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AS IT HAPPENS WHILE MY CAR IS STATIONARY OR DRIVING.

IMMEDIATELY AFTER REPLACING THE GAS IN THE CAR AND TURNING CAR ON THE METER READING GOES TO ZERO FOR A DAY. 3.

TAKATA RECALL DUE TO MY POWER STEERING KEEP POP UP ON MY SCREEN. I AM HAVING HARD TIME TURN MY STEERING WHEEL WHEN I TURN MY CAR. ALSO POWER STEERING FLUIDS KEEP POPPING UP TOO. BUT IT DOESN'T HAPPEN TO OFTEN,

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER AND THE EPS WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (CAPITOL CADILLAC, 6500 CAPITOL DR., GREENBELT, MD 20770, (240) 542-8945) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED AND REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE CONTACT WAS UNAWARE OF THE DIAGNOSIS OR REPAIRS THAT WERE COMPLETED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 88,000.

WHEN DRIVING, GO TO TURN WHEEL AND IT HESITATES AND STICKS FOR A SECOND. DOES IT VERY OFTEN WHETHER TURNING LEFT OR RIGHT. START THE CAR SOMETIMES AND WARNING BELL SOUNDS, POWER STEERING APPEARS ON RADIO SCREEN AND POWER STEERING HAS FAILED. TURN CAR OFF FOR AWHILE, TURN IT BACK ON AND POWER STEERING IS WORKING AGAIN, SOMETIMES. AND LAST, START CAR, START DRIVING AND THE GAS GAUGE GOES FROM FULL DOWN TO EMPTY. WARNING BELL SOUNDS AND LOW FUEL APPEARS ON RADIO SCREEN. ALL THESE THINGS HAPPEN RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING ON A STREET. HAVE SEEN RECALLS FOR THESE THINGS ON OTHER 06 MALIBUS BUT NEVER FOR MINE. MY GARAGE WANTS HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX THESE PROBLEMS. SOMETHING I CAN NOT AFFORD.

LOST POWER STEERING ON ACCELERATION ONTO HIGHWAY SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE LAST 2 WEEKS. COULD NOT STEER UNTILL IT RESET AT SPEEDS OF 50+ MPH
