Consumer Description

I OWN A 05 PRE-OWNED CHEVY MALIBU THAT WAS IN PRESTINE CONDITION WHEN BUYING. AFTER HAVING FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS THE FUEL GAUGE STARTED ACTING ERRATICALLY AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON AS A CAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. I WAS TOLD IT WILL COST ME $800 TO FIX THE ISSUE. ALSO THE AIR CONDITIONING UNIT HAS GONE OUT DUE TO A FAULTY PART (TOLD BY A MECHANIC). I GOOGLED THIS ISSUE AND SO MANY OTHER PURCHASERS OF THE SAME VEHICLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES WITH THE AIR CONDITIONING AND THE FUEL GAUGE. THIS IS NOT RIGHT AND GM HAS TO KNOW THAT THESE PARTS ARE FAULTY. I AM A WORKING MOTHER OF 3 WHO CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE THIS FIXED AND BECAUSE OF THIS I CANNOT RENEW BY TAGS ON MY CAR DUE TO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BEING ON. *TR
