Consumer Description

I OWN A 2005 MALIBU MAXX AND AFTER ONE YEAR OLD IT BEGAN MAKING CLUNKING NOISES IN THE FRONT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY HAD TO REPLACE A PART OF THE STEERING SHAFT. THEY DID WHAT THEY DID AND THE NOISE WAS GONE. THEY ALSO REPLACED STRUTS. A FEW MONTHS LATER IT DID IT AGAIN. THIS TIME THEY REPLACED TIE ROD ENDS. BY THIS TIME MY WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. THEN 2 MONTHS LATER IT DID IT AGAIN! THEY LUBED SOMETHING AND NOW IT HAS BEEN 8 MONTHS AND IT HAS NOT RETURNED YET. NOW MY ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND I KEEP GETTING A MESSAGE TO CHECK MY GAS CAP. I CHECK IT AND NOTHING IS WRONG. *TR
