I think your statement is a JOKE. The power steering problem on my Malibu has been on going since it first came out from what I've seen in repots. Loss of steering is a major danger, you try driving one.

Do you drive a 2006 CHEVROLET MALIBU MAXX?

Just because a car has been recalled does not mean it is not a reliable car. Millions of cars get recalled every year. Recalls often involve problems that are rare but could cause a serious problem if they occur. So the risk to any given driver is often remote, even though there may be a few high-profile incidents traced to the problem.

Tell us what you think.
