HERE IS WHAT I SUBMITTED TO GM ABOUT MY VEHICLE THAT CAN POSSIBLY CAUSE ME HARM OR DEATH BY DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AND CANNOT GET ASSISTANCE DUE TO ME BEING OVER THE 150K MILEAGE MARK. SEE BELOW I HAVE A 2005 CHEVY MALIBU AND MY POWER STEERING IS GOING OUT. I EXPERIENCED SOMETHING LAST WEEK AND THEN AGAIN TODAY. MY CAR STARTED DINGING AND MY SCREEN WHERE THE RADIO IS SHOWED "POWER STEERING" AND MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURNED IT OFF AND THEN AGAIN BACK ON AND THE STEERING WHEEL UNLOCKED. I DID MY RESEARCH ONLINE AND SHOWED THIS IS A PROBLEM FOR THIS MODEL DOCUMENT ID # 10183A AND I WAS TOLD IT IS ONLY COVERED UP TO 150K MILES AND I AM NOW AT 159K AND NO CHEVY DEALER WILL HELP ME WITH THIS. I BELIEVE CHEVY SHOULD STAND BY THERE PRODUCT AND FIX THIS FOR AT NO CHARGE. THIS PROBLEM DIDN'T OCCUR AT 150K MILES IT OCCURRED NOW! NATURE OF CONCERN MODEL: CHEVY MALIBU YEAR: 2005 THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
