Cgeist1 is correct. I am so frustrated as I type b/c I have a 2006 chevy malibu with the exact same problem...turn right and the electric power steering goes out. The dealership says I need the steering column replaced at around $1400. I have been hearing the clicking noise coming from the steering wheel. I just left the shop today. GM should address this and recall it b/c I have read of so many of these exact same issues. I just filed a complaint to NHTSA also. This is obviously defective on GM side.

We're having a popping sound in the steering in my 2006 malibu maxx hatchback ? Is there a recall . Please help

i just bought a 2005 malibu maxx from a dealership. It was having a popping sound when i would turn the wheel back and forth. Had the dealership fix it. THEY said they replaced the ( rack and pinion ) for the steering on the car. Don't think there is a recall on that. GM had a lot of problems with that popping noise on their malibu maxx. Hope that might help.

POWER STEERING IS GONE!

the problem seems to be the electric pump that supplies power steering pressure on demand is defective or the sensor that tells it u need assist is defective, read allot about this design having problems, suggest you contact GM customer relations, the number is in the owners manual.

Anytime I have to turn, left or right(mostly right) the power sterring stop working

how it seems that your rack and pinion is going out making the vehicle very hard to steer. first i would check your fluid and make sure that it's full and make sure it's not over full if it's over full the unit will mess up.

Power Sterring

The malibu has electronic power steering, it has a electric motor that provides assistance when turning-it uses no power steering fluid.
