The 2006 Chevrolet Malibu Maxx has 2 recalls, the most serious involving the transmission shift cable, which can fracture and cause the vehicle to move in a direction that does not match the selected gear.
The second recall affects the electric power steering system, which can suddenly lose its assist while driving. When this happens, the steering wheel becomes significantly harder to turn, particularly at low speeds, raising the risk of a crash.
