| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have contacted gmc chevrolet division via their customer service line to no avail. i have several pages of documentation that supports the vehicle i drive(1999 malibu) is one that chevy should be ashamed to attribute to the "made in america" caqmpaign. i have had to replace on seven occasions the rear stop/tail lights. the bulbs burst, they simply stop and as of 08/14/04 i have replaced yet another set of bulbs except this time the lights failed to work at all. the worker at napa auto store in riverdale georgia even checked the fuses and found no fuse blown; he even showed me the fuses as he pulled them. additonally i have had to replace the intake manifold gasket and the heag gasket;this is a common problem with these vehicles and there is a technology bulletin from gm that supports the intake mainifold gasket was/iis faulty because of the material it is made from on this vehicle on several gm mid-size vehicles. the dexcool product turns to sludge and thereby creates a leak. i read in the atlanta journal constitution that your agency's intervention has prompted gm to recall the chevrolet malibus from 200-202 (?) to correct the rear light problem and the article stated consideration was being given to extending the recall to the 1999 model for the same problem( rear light). i really need to find out the status of this attempt becasue i currently am unable to drive at night because i will be ticketed.*ak |
