NHTSA Complaint #10054997 — 1999 CHEVROLET MALIBU

HAVE TO REPLACE BRAKE PADS/ROTORS EVERY 5,000 MILES. I'VE SPENT MORE MONEY ON THE BRAKES ON THIS CAR THAN GAS. I'VE ALSO GONE THROUGH 5 SETS OF TIRES. REPLACED WHEEL HUB BEARINGS, AND STILL, AFTER REPLACING ITEMS, THE VIBRATION, SHAKING, INSTABILITY COMES BACK. ALSO, PROBLEM WITH ABS. LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON. I'VE HAD IT LOOKED AT 6 TIMES AND DEALER CAN'T FIND PROBLEM. EACH TIME AFTER SEEING DEALER, IT GOES OUT. BUT THEN COMES BACK ON AGAIN IN A FEW DAYS. HAVE PROBLEMS BRAKING. I'VE HAD TO STOP QUICKLY, AND THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR, AND CAR WON'T SLOW DOWN. IT'S AS IF I'M TRYING TO SLOW DOWN ON A SHEET OF ICE, AND I LIVE IN FLORIDA!!! BACK TAILLIGHTS CONSTANTLY MELT AROUND BULBS. I'VE HAD TO REPLACE THE TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLIES IN BOTH. IS CHEVROLET GOING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THESE PROBLEMS?? I'VE READ THAT A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THESE SAME PROBLEMS. DOES IT TAKE A FEW PEOPLE'S DEATHS TO FINALLY GET THEM TO CARE? COME ON CHEVROLET, I USED TO BELIEVE IN YOU, BUT NOW I'M QUESTIONING THE CARS. THIS IS THE 6TH CHEVROLET CAR I'VE OWNED. STRONGLY THINKING OF NEVER BUYING A CHEVY AGAIN. *JB
