2007 Chevrolet Malibu Steering

WHILE DRIVING AND TURNING, THE POWER STEERING FAILED ON MY 2007 CHEVY MALIBU MAKING TURNING VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE MANUALLY. ONCE I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE, I PUT IT IN PARK AND TRIED THE STEERING - NO CHANGE. I SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE AND TURNED IT BACK ON AND THE POWER STEERING RESET. THIS HAS OCCURRED 5 TIMES IN THE PAST TWO WEEKS. IF I AM SETTING STILL, I CAN TURN THE STEERING WHEEL COMPLETELY TO THE LEFT AND THE POWER STEERING WILL FAIL. ALSO I HAVE NOTICED DURING DRIVING AND STILL (WAITING AT A LIGHT) THE STEERING WHEEL TENDS TO PULSATE BACK AND FORTH. I REPORTED THIS TO DEALERSHIP A MONTH AGO WHEN VEHICLE WAS OIL SERVICED. THEY SAID THEY FOUND NOTHING AT THAT TIME. I SEE FROM RESEARCH THERE WERE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS WITH THE 2004 MODEL, BUT CANNOT FIND ANY REMEDY. AFTER READING OTHER COMPLAINTS, I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE READ WHERE OTHER VEHICLES HAVE CRASHED DUE TO THIS AND I PREFER TO NOT BE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT THUS KILLING SOMEONE IN MY CAR OR ANOTHER. *TR

STEERING CUTS IN AND OUT IN AN UNPREDICTABLE WAY. *TR
