Malibu Maxx 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • miles
I purchased my 2005 Chevy Malibu maxx ls as a "program car" thinking it was the next best thing to a new car. I guess I was wrong. Since purchasing the vehicle in April 2006 I have had consistent trouble with my front end. I have had to take it to the dealer for warranty repairs four times! now at 50,500 miles my front end is acting up again. The last time I had my repairs done I was out of warranty and called gmac and asked for a repurchase. Gmac contacted my dealer and returned a call to me stating that I should try another dealer they could not get anywhere with my current dealer. I was not surprised after being told by the shop leader that"his wife's car did the same thing and that the best thing I could do is drive it till its paid for! I have had it with this car and the service my local dealer. I love gmac and I wish they would be more aggressive at dealing with bad dealerships. My dealership made me feel stupid and like I was bothering them. I am still paying on my Malibu but am looking to trade but I am so scared that I will just gain a whole new problem from another vehicle...what do I do?
