FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

PURCHASED A USED 2008 CHEVROLET MALIBU. VERY SHORTLY AFTER I COULD NOTICE A STRONG ODOR OF GAS COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE AFTER DRIVING IT. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC WHO REMOVED THE FUEL TANK AND DISCOVERED THAT A PLASTIC FEED LINE ON TOP OF THE FUEL PUMP MODULE HAD A SEVERE LEAK. I CONTACTED GM IN REGARD TO THE FACT THAT THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE HAS BEEN RECALLED ON THE EXACT SAME YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL AS MY VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD THAT MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL WAS OFFERED NO ADDITIONAL RESOLUTION OR SUPPORT. MY CONCERN IS THAT THE ONLY VEHICLES COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY WERE THOSE BOUGHT AND SOLD OR REGISTERED IN "WARM WEATHER" STATES, BUT KENTUCKY HAS 100 DEGREES VERY HUMID SUMMERS. IT'S IS CONSIDERED PART OF THE SOUTH , A REGION KNOWN FOR BEING VERY HOT IN THE SUMMER. ADDITIONALLY THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR AND REAR PASSENGER DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR DO NOT WORK UNDER POWER. THE ONLY WORK MANUALLY.

I CALLED GM AND A VICE PRESIDENT TOLD ME THIS WOULDN'T BE A COVERED REPAIR. I SHUDDER TO THINK WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF A CIGARETTE HAD BEEN THROWN DOWN BY HER CAR. SHE DID TAKE A PICTURE, WHICH I WILL GET TO UPLOAD.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

MY GAS TANK STARTED LEAKING FOR NO REASON (NO WEAR AND TEAR-EVERY MECHANIC SAID THAT IS ALMOST UNHEARD OF), MY POWER WINDOWS AND LOCK STOPPED WORKING 2 YEARS AFTER PURCHASE AND WAS TOLD THAT I HAD TO PAY ALMOST $300 TO FIX EACH MOTOR FOR THE DOOR LOCKS AND WINDOWS, THE SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR MORE THAN A YEAR, MY AC ALSO HAVE ISSUES; THE SENSOR AND THERMOSTAT HAS BEEN CHANGED 6 TIMES WITHIN THE LAST 4 YEARS. I AM SICK OF ALL OF THESE ISSUES AND HAVE NO ASSISTANCE WITH IT. NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I CALLED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIPS HERE, COINCIDENTALLY, MY WARRANTY WAS UP ON EVERY ISSUE I FACED. GM HAS REALLY TAKEN A LOT OF MONEY OUT OF MY POCKETS. I WAS INFORMED OF THE POWER STEERING ISSUE AND WAS TOLD MY VEHICLE WOULD BE IN THE SHOP FOR 1 DAY, WHICH TURNED INTO 5 DAYS, AND I WAS DENIED TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THE RENTAL FEES, WHICH WERE ALMOST $600. SOMEONE NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THESE ISSUES, BECAUSE MY CAR IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE FOR MYSELF AND 3 CHILDREN. THE WINDOWS WILL NOT GO UP OR DOWN AT TIMES, WHETHER THE VEHICLE IS PARKED OR NOT. THE AC IS THE SAME ISSUE, THE PARTS WILL GO OUT WHETHER I AM DRIVING IT OR NOT. THE GAS LEAK ISSUE IS AWFUL, BECAUSE THE CAR WREAKS OF GAS, AND MY CAR BURNS GAS WHETHER IT IS POWERED ON OR NOT. THE DOOR LOCKS HAVE NOT WORKED SINCE THE END OF 2010 AND WE HAVE TO MANUALLY LOCK AND UNLOCK. THE ISSUES WITH MY CAR ARE THERE 24/7, AND HAPPENS IF THE CAR IS IN MOTION OR NOT. ALTHOUGH, THE ISSUES I HAVE BEEN HAVING HAVE BEEN GOING ON FOR A WHILE, EXCEPT THE GAS LEAK ISSUE WHICH IS RECENTLY, I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT PUT THE START AS TODAY'S PRESENT DATE, BECAUSE EACH ISSUE STARTED AT DIFFERENT TIMES AND CONTINUE TO CAUSE ISSUES, EVEN AFTER MANY ATTEMPTS TO REPAIR WITH SOME ISSUES.
