I could not believe the price on fixing my 2004 malibu $830.00 wow the dealership claims it was the steering column. I would drive and go to turn my car on the highway and my car would lock. I would have to turn my car off wait a few then turn it back on. Its happened several times I was so scared at times to drive because of this problem. After paying what I payed their not even sure this will not happen again because its a electrical problem. Unfortunately I cannot buy a car right now I'm a single mom and unemployed and paying what I payed at the dealer ship I had to pay $53.00 dollars to rent a car for the day unbelievable. Mind you its a 2004 malibu I only have 64,000 miles on it. So the car really hasn't been driven much and to know this problem could come about again wow I wished I would have known this car was all electrical.
