Consumer Description

I MYSELF, HAD TO HAVE MY INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET REPLACED IN MY 1999 CHEVROLET MALIBU. IT WAS RECALLED ON CERTAIN VIN NUMBERS, BUT NOT MINE. A FRIEND OF MINE ALSO OWNS THIS SAME MAKE AND MODEL OF THE CHEVROLET MALIBU AND SHE IS CURRENTLY HAVING TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM FIXED. I AM EXPERIENCES SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH MY VEHICLE THAT I SAW ON A RECALL LIST FOR A PARTICULAR SET OF VINS. I FIND THIS TO BE A BIT STRANGE THAT I AM CURRENTLY HAVING THESE MANUFACTURE DEFECTS, AS WELL AS OTHERS THAT OWN THIS MAKE AND MODEL OF THIS VEHICLE, AND THEY ARE ONLY RECALLING A SELECT FEW. IT SEEMS STRANGE THAT 3 PEOPLE I KNOW EXPERIENCE THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE, YET, THERE IS NO RECALL ON THEM.
