Consumer Description

EASSIST RECALL FOR MALIBU ECO. MY VEHICLE HAS THE SAME PROBLEMS AS THE RECALL, BUT MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. THE VEHICLE MAKE AND MODEL MATCH. ALL OF MY MAINTENANCE IS UP TO DATE. I WOULD LIKE SOMEONE TO FROM THIS COMPANY TO LOOK INTO MY VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START, I HAVE BROUGHT 4 NEW BATTERIES IN THE LAST 2 YEARS. THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT IS ON. IT HAS BEEN ON FOR A YEAR NOW. THERE IS A BURNING SMELL WHEN I DRIVE IT SOMETIMES. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED SEVERAL TIMES BY A DEALERSHIP AND NOW BY AN OUTSIDE MECHANIC, WHO INFORMED ME ABOUT THE RECALL. I WAS TOLD IF THIS DOESN'T GET FIT SOON MY VEHICLE COULD CATCH FIRE. I WOULD LIKE HELP IN RESOLVING THIS SITUATION.
