NHTSA Complaint #10219321 — 2000 CHEVROLET MALIBU

I BOUGHT THE CAR AT THE END OF 2000 AND HAD TO REPLACE THE INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKETS AT AROUND THE SAME TIME (THANKSGIVING) IN 2001. MY FUEL PUMP WENT OUT IN 2002 AND MY MECHANIC JUST TOLD ME THE INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKETS ARE LEAKING AGAIN. HE SUGGEST TO REPLACE THEM SOON. IT COST $900 TO GET IT FIXED THE FIRST TIME WHICH WAS NOT UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY PLAN. I JUST PAID THE CAR OFF AND HAVE TO FORK OUT ANOTHER $700-900 TO GET IT FIXED AGAIN. IT IS COMMON KNOWLEDGE TO GM THAT THERE IS A HISTORY OF GASKETS PROBLEMS IN SEVERAL CHEVY MODELS ESPECIALLY THE MALIBU, BUT NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED AND NO COMPENSATION HAS BEEN AWARDED TO ALL THOSE HARD WORKING PEOPLE WHO TRUST THE CHEVY NAME. IF NOTHING IS DONE I WILL NEVER BUY CHEVY AGAIN. PONTIAC HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH SOME OF ITS CARS A FEW YEARS BACK AND RECALLED ALL MODELS WITH LESS THAN 100,000 MILES ON THEM. WHY WONT CHEVY. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL OR A LEMON LAW ON THE CHEVROLET MALIBU!!! I AM SURPRISED THAT A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT HAS NOT BEEN FILED AGAINST GM FOR SELLING SUCH A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT!!! I HOPE THAT NO ONE HAS HAD AN ACCIDENT, INJURY, OR EVEN DEATH RESULT FROM THIS DANGEROUSLY DEFECTIVE CAR!!! *TR
