Consumer Description

I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2003, 3 MONTHS LATER THE ANTI-THEFT LIGHT BEGAN COMING ON KEEPING THE CAR FROM STARTING FOR AT LEAST 10 MINUTES. APRIL 24, 2007 THE CAR WOULD NOT START AT ALL. I CONTACTED CHEVROLET SEVERAL TIMES, AND NO DEFINITE ANSWER FOR THE PROBLEM COULD BE GIVEN. I COULD NOT AFFORD TO LET THEM TRY TO FIGURE THE PROBLEM OUT. I WORK IN A NOT SO SAFE PART OF TOWN AND THE CAR STALLED IN AN EMPTY PARKING LOT AT NIGHT AND I COULD HAVE BEEN ROBBED OR WORSE. THIS WAS VERY UNSAFE FOR PEOPLE. IF A PERSON NEEDING MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS DRIVING ONE OF THESE DEFECTIVE MALIBUS IT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN VERY SERIOUS PROBLEMS IF NOT EVEN DEATH TO THE OWNER. *AK
