| 2004 | STEERING:RACK AND PINION:PINION SHAFT | STEERING WENT ON CAR WHILE DRIVING . NOT INVOLVED IN ACCIDENT BROUGHT TO DEALERS AND HAD TO GET WHOLE NEW STEERING COLUMN PUT IN , BUT I HAD TO PAY FOR THE BALANCING AND ROTATION OF THE TIRES. THAT WAS THE STEERING COLUMN'S FAULT. *TR |
| 2007 | AIR BAGS:FRONTAL | FROM ABOUT 35000 MILES, THE AIR BAG LIGHT WAS ON FROM TIME TO TIME. UNDER THE 3YEARS/36000MILES WARRANTY, DEALER JUST REZEROED THE PASSENGER PRESENCE SYSTEM. BUT IT CAN NOT PREVENT THE AIR BAG LIGHT FROM BEING ON AGAIN OCCASIONALLY. AT ABOUT 44000 MILES, THE AIR BAG LIGHT WAS ALWAYS ON. THIS TIME THE SAME DEALER (JAKE SWEENEY CHEVROLET) ASKED FOR A TOTAL REPLACEMENT OF THE PASSENGER PRESENCE MODULE FOR $632. I THINK THE AIR BAG PROBLEM IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR 07 MALIBU MAXX. *TR |
