NHTSA Complaint #10626202 — 2012 CHEVROLET MALIBU

ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, WHEN I'M APPROACHING A YELLOW LIGHT AND/OR A CAR THAT'S IN FRONT OF ME WHILE ONLY DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20MPH, WHEN I ATTEMPT TO APPLY MY BRAKES I HAVE TO APPLY A LOT OF PRESSURE TO GET MY CAR TO SLOW DOWN AND IT HONESTLY FEELS AS THOUGH MY CAR ISN'T GOING TO STOP. I WOULD HATE TO BE DRIVING MY CAR ONE DAY AND MY CAR DOESN'T STOP AND I'M INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT THAT LEAVES ME SEVERELY INJURED OR TAKES MY LIFE AND/OR SOMEONE ELSE'S LIFE AS WELL. ALSO, MANY TIMES I HAVE TO APPLY A LOT OF PRESSURE TO MY GAS PEDAL IN ORDER FOR IT TO ACCELERATE AND ACTUALLY MOVE. I UNDERSTAND THAT MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN RECALLED AND THE DEALER IS WAITING FOR GM TO PROVIDE THEM THE PARTS IN ORDER TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE, BUT I DON'T THINK MY LIFE SHOULD BE AT SUCH RISK WHILE WAITING FOR GM TO RECEIVE PARTS. AM I SUPPOSE TO JUST KEEP DRIVING AROUND HOPING MY CAR DOESN'T GIVE OUT ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A KNOWN EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD WITH MY VEHICLE? MY LIFE IS MORE VALUABLE THAN THAT. COULD I BE PROVIDED A RENTAL VEHICLE UNTIL GM PROVIDES THE PARTS TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE? OR COULD I BE REFUNDED FOR MY VEHICLE? SEEING THAT THERE HAS BEEN NUMEROUS CAR ACCIDENTS AND SERIOUS INJURIES RELATED TO THIS PARTICULAR DEFECT WITHIN THE VEHICLE, I SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING MY VEHICLE UNTIL IT IS FIXED. OTHERWISE, I COULD BE THE NEXT PERSON INVOLVED IN A SERIOUS CAR ACCIDENT. SO IN CLOSING, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF I COULD BE PLACED IN A RENTAL CAR UNTIL MY CAR IS REPAIRED OR REFUNDED FOR THE PRICE OF MY VEHICLE? *TR
