| 2005 | VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD | THE WINDSHIELD OF MY VEHICLE STARTED TO DEVELOP BUBBLES BENEATH THE SURFACE OF THE GLASS. I WAS INFORMED BY A GLASS REPAIR COMPANY THAT THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE GLASS(AT THE MANUFACTURING STAGE). I CANNOT SEEM TO GET ANY SATISFACTION FROM THE DEALER OR THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURER. *JB |
| 2004 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING | 12/24/2010 WHILE DRIVING A 2004 CHEVY MALIBU MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP WHILE DRIVING AND IT MADE A SUDDEN JERKING STOP. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED BUT IT SCARED BOTH MY DAUGHTER AND I. THEN IN ADDITION TO KEEP REPLACING MY HEADLIGHTS AND TAIL LIGHTS PRETTY MUCH EVERY OTHER MONTH THEY BLOW OUT AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. FOR BOTH INCIDENTS A LOCAL MECHANIC WAS CONSULTED AND HE RECOMMENDED THAT I CONTACT A GM DEALER SHIP TO CHECK FOR RECALLS. I DID THAT AND RECEIVED INFORMATION THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL FOR THE CURRENT SITUATIONS BUT THERE HAS BEEN MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS WITH THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL CAR AND WAS REFERRED ME TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP TO BE CHECKED. *TR |
