2002 Chevy Malibu 4 dr 6 cyl: ( DEATH TRAP)
-manufacturer defect: turn signals & hazards
-manufacturer defect: heating/cooling system
-manufacturer defect: head gasket
-manufacturer defect: leaking steering box
-manufacturer defect: power controls on drivers door panel
( I will go back and add topic for each later. Am seeking info on others reporting rear suspension catastrophic failure )
**vehicle was TOTALED last month in a horrible freeway crash where the rear suspension arm on drivers side SNAPPED IN TWO ! Vehicle was pitched rear end first into concrete center divider, then rebounded off wall in a violent spin across 4 lanes of traffic. Hit twice more by oncoming traffic. Came to rest on the right shoulder facing opposite direction. I believe it was caused by a faulty rear suspension arm.
