Consumer Description

FOR OVER A YEAR NOW, MY 1999 MALIBU HAS HAD ITS CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON INTERMITTENTLY. IT WILL STAY ON FOR MONTHS AT A TIME AND GO OFF OCCASIONALY. IT WAS DIAGNOSED BY A CHEVROLET DEALER TO BE THE AIR PUMP WHICH I HAD REPLACED FOR APPROXIMATELY $400. THE LIGHT IS STILL ON. I HAVE HAD IT DIAGNOSED AGAIN, BUT THE MECHANIC CANNOT SEEM TO FIND THE PROBLEM. I AM NOW TOLD THAT THERE IS GOING TO BE A NEW LAW PASSED WHICH WILL PREVENT ME FROM GETTING AN INSPECTION WITH MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. IF THE DEALER CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT, I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY I SHOULD BE PENALIZED AND HAVE TO SPEND ADDITIONAL MONEY FOR THEM NOT TO FIGURE IT OUT. I ALSO HAVE MY ABS LIGHT COMING ON CONSTANTLY NOW FOR THE PAST 6 MONTHS. THE DIAGNOSIS SHOWED IT WAS THE ABS SENSOR WHICH WAS REPLACED AND THE LIGHT IS STILL ON. I TOOK IT BACK AND IT WAS DIAGNOSED AGAIN. I HAD TO HAVE BOTH FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS REPLACED ($500) AT 55,000 MILES, WHICH INCLUDES NEW SENSORS. THE LIGHT IS STILL ON. I AM NOW PLANNING ON TAKING IT IN FOR ANOTHER DIAGNOSIS. *AK
