Consumer Description

MY CAR WAS RUNNING HOT AND IT SMELL LIKE SOMETHING WAS BURNING UNDER THE HOOD, SO I TOOK THE CAR IN TO THE SHOP TO HAVE FIX AND THE WORKER TOLD ME IT WAS A DEFECTIVE INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKETS. IT WOULD COST ME CLOSE TO $850 TO FIX. THE PART ITSELF ONLY COST $89, BUT THE LABOR IS WHAT I WAS PAYING FOR. I CANNOT AFFORD TO KEEP FIXING THIS CAR ON A COLLEGE STUDENT BUDGET. AFTER TALKING TO OTHER MALIBU OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS I CHECK TO SEE IF IT IS A RECALL PROBLEM, BUT IT IS NOT. THIS IS NOT FAIR THAT THE COMPANY KNOW THEY SOLD DEFECTIVE CARS AND NOT PLAN ON DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. *NM
