Consumer Description

I BOUGHT MY CHEVY MALIBU BRAND NEW IN 2006. I HAVE JUST TURNED 60,000 MILES HOWEVER MY DRIVER SEAT BRACKET HAS BEEN BROKE SINCE 49,000 MILES. THIS IS THE SECOND LEMON VEHICLE I HAVE BOUGHT THAT IS A GM PRODUCT. I HAVE HAD 3 STEERING SHAFTS ALSO REPLACED. I JUST WISH GM WOULD LOOK AT THIS AS A SAFETY HAZARD. IF THEY ARE WILLING TO SLEEP AT NIGHT KNOWING THAT OUR LIVES ARE AT RISK THEN SO BE IT. WHAT HAPPENED TO STANDING BEHIND YOUR PRODUCT. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THIS ISSUE ADDRESSED FOR ALL CHEVY MALIBU OWNERS. IT IS A DEATH TRAP!!!!! *TR
