Check tension on belt and condition of same. Slipping when first starting can do this.

    Could to low idle speed cause power steering to chatter when turning

    Maybe, but more likely bad or loose belt, possibly bad pump.

What would cause no power steering or brakes when started one time but then there next start?

Was your brake pedal on the floor or hard to depress? Your chattering might be the serpentine belt system. Remove the belt and test quickly again for noise, you will not have powersteering or cooling or charging systems, but you are just trying to pinpoint your chattering so you dont have to guess. You might want to replace your vacuum valve at power brake booster if your pedal was hard. It is a oneway valve that opens when the car gets turns on and pulls down a vacuum to assist the brake system. Sometimes the stick. If your brake pedal was on the floor, which I doubt at all, do not drive and seek professional help. Maybe your pedal assembly is coming loose and needs repinned.

Why does power steering chatter when parking?

It could be caused by the bearings in the pump going out if your sure that it's the power steering.

2011 chevy malibu power steering problem

Did you have the trouble codes read? If not, then you're just guessing and that's no way to diagnose the problem.

Peel back the carpet on the driver's side and check for water stains. If you have stains along with trouble codes C0475 or P2138, you'll have to fix the leak in the roof channel and possibly replace the module or the motor. Check this service bulletin

No power steering and stabilitrak light is on saying service stabilitrak

You may be entitle to a campaign about ESC/steering module relearning, what happens if you leave the key in the ACC position for 2 seconds without starting the ESC is disable until you restart the vehicle. Here is the letter to owner number 07224A070911-005 , Hopefully this is still active and they should not charge you anything

What does it mean when my car starts fine but dies once I turn the steering wheel more than 25 degrees, left or right?

As far i can see the problem of your car is that the idle. Some cars use to be like that i have encountered that once. I went many car checking but when i found out its the idle . If there is other problem on it that is the steering .While you turn the steering there is a wire that is disconnecting to the ignition switch . While you turn the steering.Adjust the idle if that is the problem . if there is a wire disconnecting check and connect it ,good day.

Power Steering pump appears to be leaking but is full????

Just guessing. Could it be a warped brake disk? That would cause vibration. And vibration in steering might conceivably cause splashing out the power steering reservoir. You would know if the disk were warped by a shudder when you brake at hight speeds.
