Consumer Description

IN THE LAST YEAR, I HAD TO REPLACE, AT MY OWN EXPENSE, 3 OUT OF THE 4 WHEEL BEARING HUB ASSEMBLIES ON MY 2013 CHEVROLET MALIBU. THERE IS ALSO A TERRIBLE TOXIC SMELL COMING FROM THE AIR CONDITIONING AND HEATING VENTS ATTRIBUTED TO THE CAR'S EVAPORATOR CORE. CHEVROLET HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THESE PROBLEMS, BUT REFUSES TO MAKE THE REPAIRS AT THEIR OWN EXPENSE. THESE ISSUES HAVE NEVER OCCURRED IN ANY VEHICLE I HAVE EVER OWNED FOR THE LAST 30 YEARS. CHEVROLET MUST BE HELD RESPONSIBLE BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED, SICKENED OR KILLED.
