NHTSA Complaint #10225183 — 2000 CHEVROLET MALIBU

I OWN A 200 CHEVY MALIBU AND HAVE HAD TO REPAIR AN INTAKE MANIFOLD TWICE- ONCE AT 92,000 MILES AND AGAIN AT 105,000 MILES. GM KNOWS THAT THEIR DEX COOL ANTIFREEZE EATS THROUGH THE GASKETS BUT DOES NOTHING TO FIX IT. I DO NOT KNOW WHY THE GOV.'T LETS THEM GET AWAY WITH THIS. THIS IS VERY EXPENSIVE AND NOT SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAVE TO BE REPAIRED WITHIN 100,000.00 MILES. THE SPEEDS ON THE FAN DID NOT WORK SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE AND AROUND 50,000. MILES THE TURN SIGNAL DID NOT WORK . I DID HAVE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AND BOTH WERE COVERED BUT THESE ARE NOT THINGS THAT SHOULD BREAK DOWN. IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS TO BE SITTING AT A LIGHT AND TURNING LEFT AND NOT BEING ABLE TO SIGNAL. I DID EVENTUALLY GET A RECALL ON THIS BUT IT WAS WAY AFTER IT WAS FIXED. GM MAKES JUNK AND THE GOV.'T SHOULD HOLD THEM RESPONSIBLE. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER GM PRODUCT. *TR
