After owning this car for just a month, I began to hear a knocking noise from my front end when turning. Afraid that my engine was knocking, I immediately called my mechanic. My steering column was the issue, and it needed to be replaced, at a total cost of $1100. What bothered me the most, however, was that several other years of the Malibu model had recalls on this part, GM was fully aware of the issue in this particular model, yet I still had to put out over a grand to fix it because GM wouldn't take responsibility for their faulty part.
