Consumer Description

FIVE YEARS AGO I REPLACE HEAD GASKETS ON A 2001 CHEVROLET MALIBU. RECENTLY, MY VEHICLE WILL NOT HOLD ANTIFREEZE AND THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE RAISES. I HAVE WAS TOLD BY A MECHANIC THAT THE HEAD GASKETS BLOWN AGAIN. I HAVE HEARD SEVERAL PEOPLE WITH THE MALIBU ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THIS. IS THERE A RECALL OR COMPENSATION TO THE OWNERS FOR THIS OBVIOUS MANUFACTURING DEFECT. *TR
