The contact owns a 2000 Chevrolet Malibu. The contact stated that the front passenger side door exhibited excessive rust. The contact had not taken the vehicle to a dealer or a local mechanic for inspection or repairs. The contact stated the failure was a safety issue because the rust was building around the filler pipe for the fuel system. The failure mileage was 124,000. Updated 6/8/11 the consumer stated the fuel door was hanging off the vehicle because the hinges were welded to the body and it rusted through. Updated 06/23/11

2000 Chevy Malibu-rack & pinion mount on driver side broke from frame. Before failure font end shook like brakes were bad. Car began to steer hard and make load noise (felt under driver side floor board). Upon looking into problem I noticed that the mounts are only made of cheap sheet metal. Passenger side is showing signs of extreme rusting also. To repair will require front sub frame to be replaced. I believe that GM is putting money first and personal safety second.
