2005 chevy malibu - power steering light comes on & off. No problem with steering. Mechanic told my mother it was in the electronics. I haven't seen the car myself,as I don't live near her. I told her to get somebody to check her power steering fluid. She says the mech. said there isn't a resovoir on the car ,they are all electronically controled.I've never seen a car without a PS resovoir. Is there one on these ??? I will go down this weekend to see for myself.

There is no power steering fluid in the system.A 2005 Malibu is electronic steering.If you lose assist you may have to replace the steering column.You may also have an intermediate shaft that is binding.The I-shaft connects your steering column to the steering gear.There is a universal joint in the shaft that may be stiff or seized.
I took my car into the dealership on friday 02-13-09 only to find out my steering column needs to be replaced the motor is shorting out for the power steering ~ certain models of malibu's 2005 yr if your vin falls between 5F100001 - 5F250216 call Chevrolet they have a Technical Service Bulletin # 07126 - SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT - LOSS OF POWER STEERING ASSIST - 7 yrs or 70,000 miles regardless of ownership - they will cover the cost of the repair ~ Chevrolet 1-800-630-2438 or
1-800-833-2438 - They saved me from having to pay out of pocket !!!
