2004 Malibu Steering Problem




By Powe33 - usenet poster

" "
There is a problem with my 2004 Malibus steering, I have the V6 LS,
when turning left there is no resistance and when turning right there
is normal resistance? I have no Idea what the problem is, the
dealership wants to put a gear box in but I talked with a friend that
use to work at GM and he said it was the engines electrical system
that was messed up and that the engine needed to be replaced, whats
going on?

Same Problem

May 13, 2009

-   My power steering light came on a while back, but there was no problem. I put air in the tires and the light went off. Then, a couple of days ago, it came on again. With normal resistance in the steering itself, I thought that it was a wiring problem. I didn't drive for 3 days, and when I went to start it and back out of my driveway, then steering became hard and almost impossible to turn both left and right. I was able to drive to work, but it is a definite safety hazard to me and other drivers. I have a 2004 Chevrolet Malibu LS 3.5L V6.-   Asylus

-   I have the exact same problem. It seems to occur more often when the car has been sitting in the sun. Probably something to do with the electrical connections. -   Guest

The engine electrical system would not be fixed by replacing the engine,
but by replacing whatever part is bad (the engine itself is not
electrical). However, didn't some of those things have electric power
steering? I hear there were lots of problems with those. As I recall,
it's not the gear box, but the steering column that needs replaced to
fix this problem.
