Consumer Description

I AM THE OWNER OF A CHEVROLET MALIBU. THIS CAR IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. THE CAR WILL SHUT OFF WHEN DRIVING SPEEDS OF 55 OR MORE. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS SINCE I PURCHASED THIS CAR. FIRST, IT WAS THE INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET. SECOND, IT WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE FUEL SYSTEM. THIRD, THE CAR QUIT ON ME AND MY DAUGHTER WHEN WE WERE DRIVING ON THE EXPRESS WAY GOING 60 MILES PER HOUR. WE COULD HAVE KILLED OURSELVES AND SOMEONE ELSE. *JB
