Consumer Description

I AM THE 2ND OWNER OF MY 2013 CHEVY MALIBU LTZ WE BOUGHT AT 19,000 MILES, IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP MORE THAN ANY CAR I HAVE HAD!! WHEN I FIRST GOT IT THE WHEEL BEARINGS WENT OUT AND NOT JUST ONE THEY WENT OUT ONE BY ONE AT END EXPENSES OF $900 AT ONE TIME AT XMAS!! IT'S BEEN RUNNING GOOD NOW, IT NOW HAS 130,000 MILES ON IT. BUT FROM DAY ONE THE RIMS HAVE BEEN PEELING OFF THEY HAD SOME COATING OVER IT AND IT'S SLOWLY PEELING OFF MAKING MY CAR LOOK REALLY BAD!! I CALLED CHEVY AND THEY REFUSED TO GIVE ME ANY REPLACEMENT RIMS! NOW WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF SAND BLASTING THEM AND PAINTING THEM. BUT WHY CHEVY WOULDN'T REPLACE THESE ANS MAKE THEIR OWN CARS LOOK CHEAP AND CRAPPY IS BEYOND ME!! I'M JUST HOPING MY CAR ISN'T GOING TO HAVE ALL THESE STALLING ISSUES THAT PEOPLE ARE HAVING! I PLAN TO DRIVE THIS CAR UNTIL IT'S A RUST BUCKET!! LOL ;-)
