Lost steering control of 1998 chevy malibu at about 45 MPH and had a spin-out at a major intersection, hitting the median curve and coming to rest on the side of the road. Upon initial analysis we found that the support arm bolt had come loose on the car. When the chevy roadside tow-truck arrived he told us that this was the fourth malibu that he had picked up with the same problem. Upon arrival at grand prize chevy that afternoon the auto was checked by the service representative and later by a mechanic, and I was told that it was a mechanical malfunction, and the car would be fixed under warranty.

I have talked to chevrolet and asked them to repurchase my car. They informed me that they would not. I do not feel safe for my family in this car any more. I also feel that chevrolet misrepresents the malibu as a care free car.
Button on left front seat belt missing.
Driver rented car from enterprise rental. Driver was going about 45 MPH around a curve when the driver decided to adjust the tilt steering.
