NHTSA Complaint #729597 — 1999 CHEVROLET MALIBU

THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP NUMEROUS TIMES FOR REPAIR. PARTS OF THE IGNITION AND FUEL SYSTEM WERE REPLACED LESS THEN A YEAR AGO. RECENTLY A LOUD WHISTLE NOISE COULD BE HEARD COMING FROM THE DASH AREA OF THE VEHICLE. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER IN TWIN FALLS, ID, WHO STATED THAT IT WAS A PIECE OF MOLDING THAT HAD COME OFF FROM UNDER THE VEHICLE (ANOTHER PROBLEM) AND THAT WAS CAUSING IT. THEY WERE TOO BUSY TO FIX IT, AND I WAS IN THE PROCESS OF MOVING TO BOISE, ID. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER IN BOISE WHO STATED THAT THEY KNEW WXACTLY WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE WRITER THAT THEY HAD SEVERAL MALIBU'S COME IN WITH THE WINSHIELD NOT PROPERLY SEATED. HE TOLD ME THAT THEY HAD TO REMOVE THE WINDSHIED AND RESEAL IT. I DONT KNOW HOW MANY MORE VEHICLES ARE OUT THERE LIKE THIS, BUT WE HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH OURS.
