The simplest checks to do are as follows.
1. Check the power steering fluid level. A low level creates heavy steering.
2. Check the fuses. Some Electronic power steering systems have fuses fitted to protect the electronics in the pump. A blown fuse turns the pump off.
If the fluid is low check for leaks in the system. If the fuse has blown there could be a reason for it blowing.

There is no power steering fluid in the system.A 2005 Malibu is electronic steering.If you lose assist you may have to replace the steering column.You may also have an intermediate shaft that is binding.The I-shaft connects your steering column to the steering gear.There is a universal joint in the shaft that may be stiff or seized.

Your 06 Malibu has electric assist power steering. There is no reservoir, or pump for that matter. A previous problem of this sort was on the website a couple of weeks ago, and someone had mentioned that there was a recall for this problem. Call your Chevrolet dealer and inquire.

Where is power steering reservoir on 2007 chevy malibu

This question has been asked often, people cannot find the power steering reservoir on their Chevy Malibu. They cannot find it because it does not exist! The power steering uses an electric power assist. If you have an issue with the steering, chances are you need to replace the power steering pump, which is located under the steering.
