NHTSA Complaint #736211 — 1999 CHEVROLET MALIBU

THE BRAKES HAVE BEEN RESURFACED ONCE. THE PADS HAVE BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES AND THE ROTORS REPLACED TWICE. I HAVE HAD THE CAR IN FOR THE FINAL REPAIR ATTEMPT ON THE BRAKES. THEY SAY THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THEM. WHILE THE CAR WAS IN THE SHOP FOR THIS, THE DRIVER'S POWER WINDOW WENT OUT. THREE PEOPLE IN THE SERVICE DEPT. TRIED TO GET IT TO WORK. I HAD TO LEAVE THE CAR ANOTHER DAY. WHEN I WENT TO PICK IT UP, I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE WINDOW AND IT IS NOW WORKING. THE POWER LOCKS LOCK AND UNLOCK THEMSELVES PERIODICALLY. I HEAR AIR COMING IN THE DRIVER'S DOOR. THE CD PLAYER FACE GETS TO HOT TO TOUCH AND I SMELL BURNING. I WAS TOLD THIS WAS NORMAL. THE STEERING COLUMN WOULDN'T TILT DOWN BECAUSE OF PLASTIC DEBRIS ON THE ASSEMBLY. THE BRAKE LIGHT CIRCUIT BOARD MELTED. THE AIR CONDITIONER CONTROL HEAD SHORTED OUT. THE EVAP SYSTEM VAPOR PRESSURE SENSOR HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE REAR DOORS STUCK AND HAD TO BE LUBRICATED. THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT LATCH HAD TO BE ADJUSTED TO STOP RATTLE. THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED. *AK
