Malibu Classic 3.6L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 134,000 miles

I contacted the Chevrolet dealership and they ran my Vin to see if I qualified for the recall that have been put on other years of this same car, and of course my Vin did not qualify. I was assured that this is a common problem with these cars but unfortunately until enough noise is made there is nothing to be done.

This car is my way to work and I don't have the money to fix it because I am still paying it off. I think it is awful that a car company would rather wait for people to die before fixing their mistakes. We should not have to pay for Chevrolet mistakes and to have to wait for an overflow of complaints, seems like a risk to society. I will also be posting other issues with this car and other recall errors that I feel unfair and ridiculous.

I will not make future purchases or suggest to my friends, families or co--workers to put their faith in a company that is reckless to its clients and would risk lives all because they are too slow in righting the wrongs of their vehicles. If this is a common problem with your product then why would you be sloth in understanding that my car and others outside of the date of the other recalls are experiencing the same issues. Shame on you for ignoring the problem and when you finally get enough deaths and major accidents I hope you can live with yourselves for ignoring the problem before It becomes catastrophic. Understand that you reap what you sow and even when it looks like you business is booming, the things you do to others catches up with you and "crash" hits you in the ass!
