Consumer Description

I PURCHASED A 2000 CHEVROLET MALIBU IN DEC 1999. THE CAR HAD 6 MILES ON IT WHEN PURCHASED. WITHIN THE LAST YEAR I HAVE NOTICED THE CAR HAS BEEN OVERHEATING A LITTLE, AND I AM HAVING TO FILL THE COOLANT UP ONCE EVERY COUPLE OF WEEKS(WITH NO NOTICABLE LEAKS). *AK AT THIS POINT I HAVE TAKEN IT TO A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT SHOPS TELLING ME THAT THE LOWER INTAKE MANIFOLD NEEDS REPLACED (COST 5-700 DOLLARS!!)--I STILL OWE 11000 ON THE CAR. I HAVE READ AND SEEN MANY OTHERS WITH THIS ISSUE AND AM VERY DISSAPOINTED IN THE FACT THAT GM WILL NOT DO ANYTHING TO HELP OUT. OF COURSE NOW THE CAR IS AT 66000 MILES AND OUT OF WARRANTY--SO I MUST PAY FOR THE REPAIR--SINGLE MOTHER/GOING TO SCHOOL/WORKING FULL TIME THIS IS NOT WHAT I EXPECT OUT OF A NEW CHEVY....
