Consumer Description

THE VEHICLE IS A 2010 CHEVY MALIBU WITH LESS THEN 61,000 MILES ON IT. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE LAST YEAR AND THE TRANSMISSION HAS WENT OUT ON IT 3 TIMES WITHIN A MONTH. ALL THREE TIMES I HAVE TAKEN IT TO AN CERTIFIED CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP. AFTER THE SECOND TIME THEY FIXED MY TRANSMISSION THE STEERING SHAFT WAS LOOSE AND I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED OR KILLED SOMEONE. AFTER ABOUT 4 DAYS AFTER REPAIRS THE TRANSMISSION WILL GO OUT AGAIN. THE CAR IS NOT EVEN 5 YEARS OLD WITH 61,000 MILES ON IT. THIS IS TRULY DISAPPOINTING, AND IT HAS COST ME MONEY AND TIME. *TR
