Consumer Description

I AM THE OWNER OF A 2003 MALIBU. I HAVE ONLY HAD IT FOR 6 MONTHS. THE CAR HAS CUT OFF ON ME 3 TIMES WITH MY 3 YEAR OLD IN THE CAR. I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY SAID THAT IT WAS THE IGNITION SWITCH, AND IT WAS GOING TO COST ME $400.00 TO FIX IT. I DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY TO PUT INTO A CAR WHEN THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON IT. I AM HIGHLY UPSET WITH GM BECAUSE THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. ALSO, I HAVE HEARD THAT THEY WON'T DO A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY DON'T CONSIDER IT TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE. I DON'T SEE HOW A COMPANY CAN PUT OFF A RECALL LIKE THIS WHEN SOMEONE CAN GET SERIOUSLY HURT OR EVEN KILLED. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO, AND ANOTHER OF COURSE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT I BOUGHT DOESN'T COVER IT. WHY DO THEY EVEN HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY WHEN IT DOESN'T COVER A BLASTED THING.*AK
