I HAVE A 2007 MALIBU WHICH I DRIVE BACK AND FORTH TO WORK EVERYDAY ON THE HIGHWAY. ON WED. 2/26/14 I FELT A PULSING VIBRATION WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. A SHORT WHILE LATER I LOST THE POWER STEERING COMPLETELY WHICH NEEDLESS TO SAY WAS VERY DANGEROUS TRYING TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC WITH NO POWER STEERING. I HAD TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC WHO TOLD ME THAT THE PROBLEM WAS IN THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM. THE PARTS WERE ORDERED AT A COST OF $856.54 AND THE TOTAL COST WITH LABOR WAS $1272.07. I HAVE SINCE BEEN ON-LINE AND READ PAGE AFTER PAGE OF PROBLEMS WITH THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING FOR THIS YEAR MALIBU. I SEE THAT THEY HAVE NOW ADDED THE 2007 MALIBU TO THE RECALL LIST BUT MY VIN DOES NOT SHOW UP. PLEASE ADVISE. *TR
