Consumer Description
I WAS DRIVING MY CHEVY MALIBU AND STARTED TO FELL MY CAR START TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND THEN MY SERVICE ESC WAS POPULATING ON THE DASH AND TRACTION CONTROL HAD BEEN LOST IN THE CAR. I WAS HAVING DIFFICULTY BREAKING AS IF THE ABS BREAK SYSTEM WAS NOT WORKING IN THE CAR.I GOT THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND ENDED UP HITTING A GUARD RAIL. I THEN FOUND OUT THAT IT WAS MULTIPLE RECALLS ISSUED ON MY VEHICLE AND I CALLED THE CHEVROLET CUSTOMER SUPPORT TO DISCUSS THE CURRENT RECALL WHICH APPEARED TO BE THE ISSUE. I WAS INSTRUCTED THAT I COULD DROP MY CAR OFF AT BEST CHEVROLET SERVICE CENTER AND THEY WERE AWARE OF THE RECALL AND WOULD ASSIST ME. I DROPPED MY CAR OFF, EXPLAINED THE SITUATION. THEY CALLED ME TO LET ME KNOW THE RECALL WASN'T THE ISSUE EVEN THOUGHT EVERYTHING I EXPERIENCED WAS LISTED IN THE RECALL.
