Consumer Description

WE HAVE A 2014 CHEVY MALIBU 2.5L AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WITH 42310 MILES ON IT AND BOTH THE BACK HUB (WHEEL BEARING ASSEMBLY'S NEED TO BE REPLACED. IT STARTED MAKING NOISES ABOUT 200 MILES AGO AND IT ALMOST UNDRIVABLE NOW. HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED DO TO FEELING UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I'VE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM AND THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THIS SAME PROBLEM AND ON TOP OF THE CAR PAYMENT I HAVE TO SPEND ANOTHER 875 BUCKS TO FIX A PROBLEM I SHOULDN'T BE HAVING. I'VE OWNED SEVERAL CARS AND NEVER HAD THIS ISSUE UNROLL NOW AND THIS WAS MY FIRST NEW CAR PURCHASE AND NOW MY LAST WITH CHEVY.
