| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have been advised that the "intake is leaking coolant" on my 2000 chevy malibu and that the cost of the repair will be approximately $825.00. there are numerous articles of other malibu owners on the internet that either currently have or have had this same problem. it would seem apparent that the intake is defective. the mechanic has advised that unless repaired, the engine will be destroyed. can you imagine that happening on a freeway during rush hour? the loss of life would be terrible. i bought this car for my 17-year-old son thinking that i was purchasing a car that would provide him some added protection and now i find out he is driving a time bomb. in light of the numerous reports, i would like chevrolet to repair my car at no charge to me. |
