| 2011 | ENGINE | TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, AN UNUSUAL NOISE EMITTED FROM THE ENGINE. IN ADDITION, THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD VIBRATE SEVERELY. THERE WERE NO PRIOR WARNINGS. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHENEVER THE CONTACT DROVE OVER GRAVEL OR AN UNEVEN ROAD SURFACE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE MOTOR MOUNT WAS FAULTY AND WOULD REQUIRE REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,000. |
| 2013 | STEERING | THIS VEHICLE STEERING WHEEL BECOMES STICKY/STUCK AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS AND TRYING TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM CREATES OVERSTEER AND OVERCORRECTION CREATING A SWERVING OF THE VEHICLE. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND WAS NOT CORRECTED. I'M SET TO TAKE IT BACK BECAUSE THIS IS BECOMING A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR |
