there is a good reason why you can not find the power steering reservoir. It does not have one.
You vehicle has electronic power steering. There is no hydraulic pump, hoses, or reservoir. The steering column has an electric motor and a control unit mounted to it under the dash.
the 2004 malibu does not have a place to put transmission fluid it has a electric power steering system and does not use fluid, if you are having a problem with the power steering light chimming and lighting up this is under a recall that chevy has obligated to fix. So if your car is doing this take it to your local chevy dealership and have them to repair it for you. Hope this helps.
i don't know but my wifes company car was doing the same thing this steering is electric assist and is very common for them to go out you have to change the hole steering column and cost is just under 1.000 dollars sad hugh?
Power steering module seems to be bad. Only fix is to replace it .Not a cheap item. About 250-300 dollars for the part. Shop the internet 4 a better price
its possible this is electric, if you have an owners manual that will tell you, or call your local chevy dealership parts department, give them the vehicle identification number and they can answer it. if its electric, most likely the fuse blew.
I believe it is an electric power steering system & its built into the steering column if less then 50000 miles I would go back to dealer & complain and get gm assistance if you are having problems very pricey to fix
I had the same problem with my 2006 malibu lt, took the car to the GM dealer had the column replaced and a new electric motor at a cost of $875.00.
No more problems, this is a common problem with this electric
steering system.
