I've had my car for almost three years. I've had multiple issues with it and the local dealership whiteheads chevrolet where I had my recalls fixed is by far the worst dealership anyone could take their car too. I took them my car and they were going to fix the recalls the steering shaft inadequate support of u joint transmission shift cable steering loss of electric power steering they had my car for a couple days but when I got it back it seemed like nothing was fixed I took it back 3 different times for the same recalls the last time I picked up my car the airbag light came on all of a sudden I called them and told them about it they said to bring it in so I did they had it for another day I went back got it and drove straight home later that day I needed to go get my daughter some diapers I got in the car started it and the airbag light was on again I called the dealership told them what was going on the guy told me there was nothing they could do about it. I got upset called the main chevrolet company made a complaint nothing was resolved. Well recently I was driving down the road with my infant and toddler in the car going 35mph and all of a sudden my steering wheel felt like it locked up took it to them asked them to look at the recalls again and they refused they said once the recall has been closed there was nothing they could do. So I have rarely been driving my car it did the same thing on 07/22/18 the steering was gone my car was still running no indicator lights came on I stopped put it in lark turned it off waited 10 mins started it and had no power steering I tried to drive it home and it would not accelerate. I didn't drive it for a couple days until yesterday and now the car shakes very badly like a (death wobble) no matter what speed and all of a sudden it feels like the whole front end is going to come right out from under the car.

Power steering locks up during acceleration and service air bag light never goes off, and after new brake rotors/pads the brake light stays on. Brake fluid light on with full fluid.

I have a 2005 chevy malibu it has all of the symptoms as the recall for the ignition switch, the power steering goes out when it wants to, it shuts off sometimes when you come to a stop and the air bag light is on, it has not occurred since we put the key on a ring by itself, but they won"t honor it says it's not on the list but the 2005 malibu maxx is on the list! The maxx is the same car but with a hatchback instead of a trunk, can u please look into this and tell me what if anything can I do?
