problem #1

Oct 182006

Malibu 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 2,048 miles
: the contact stated there was a loud knocking noise when the transmission was shifted into drive. All other gears were smooth and quiet. Three separate service dealers had inspected the vehicle and were aware of the knocking sound, but informed the contact the noise was common with the vehicle and would diminish with time. Computer diagnostics found nothing wrong. The manufacturer was notified. The consumer complained of a vibration when the brakes were applied. The dealer resurfaced the rotors. Updated 12/01/06
