2010 Chevrolet Malibu complaints

THE RIM ON MY TIRE IS NOT WELDED TOGETHER....LOSING AIR DAILY AND HAS BEEN FOR A WHILE BUT GOT WORSE. NO IMPACT AT ALL THIS IS A DEFECT IN MANUFACTURING. *TR

SHORTLY AFTER GETTING THE RECALL REPAIR FOR THE ABS LIGHTING ISSUE IN LATE AUGUST THE "SERVICE AIRBAG" LIGHT CAME ON WHEN I HIT THE BRAKES HARD. AFTER A WHILE IT WENT OFF AND STAYED OFF UNTIL A FEW DAYS LATER WHEN A BACK SEAT PASSENGER CLOSED THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR HARD. IT STILL TO THIS DAY CONTINUES TO GO ON & OFF, SOMETIMES WHEN I HIT A BUMP, OR WHEN I 1ST START THE CAR. I CALLED THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD OUR CAR WAS NOT UNDER RECALL FOR THE RECENT AIRBAG ISSUE AND THAT FOR THEM TO INVESTIGATE THE ISSUE WOULD REQUIRE THE DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE. AND.. SINCE THE WARRANTY ON THE AIRBAG WAS ONLY 3YRS/36,000 MILES THE CHARGE TO ME WOULD BE 1HRS TIME ABOUT $125.00. I FIND THIS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE AND WILL ALSO BE FILING A COMPLAINT WITH GM. *TR

MY SEAT BELT WARNING PINGS WHEN I AM BUCKLED UP AND GOES OFF AS FREQUENTLY AS IT WOULD IF I WAS NOT BUCKLED UP. MY "SERVICE AIR BAG" LIGHT RANDOMLY POPS UP MY CAR REVS WHEN IM DRIVING AT THE SAME PACE ON A FLAT ROAD. WHICH IS SCARY BECAUSE IT SPEEDS UP TOO. MY DRIVING WHEEL STICKS SOMETIMES. I FEEL LIKE ITS NOT A SAFE CAR I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN FEB THINKING IT WAS A GOOD INVESTMENT AND I REGRET IT 100%. *TR

WENT INTO SHOP FOR RECALL OF THE RECALL ID # 103647 - ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL ON 2010 CHEVY MALIBU. WHEN I GOT MY CAR BACK FROM SHOP. I NOW GET SERVICE AIR BAGS WARNING LIGHT ALL THE TIME ON MY DASH. *TR

HAD THE SPACER FOR THE BCM PUT IN FOR THE SAFETY RECALL ON OCTOBER 17,2104. TODAY OCTOBER 24,2014, I TURNED THE KEY TO START THE CAR AND IT IMMEDIATELY STARTED TO ACCELERATE WHILE IN PARK, IT THEN BEGAN TO HESITATE AND WANT TO STALL. THE ESC WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR READ 'REDUCED ENGINE POWER' IMMEDIATELY AFTER, THE CAR STALLED AND THE CAR READ 'ENGINE DISABLED'. I TURNED THE KEY TO OFF, AND SINCE I WAS QUITE A DISTANCE FROM HOME I WAITED ABOUT 10 MINUTES AND RESTARTED THE CAR. THE CAR STARTED BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT REMAINED ON. I DROVE THE CAR HOME AND IT WOULD BARELY ACCELERATE TO THE APPROPRIATE SPEED. *TR

I WAS T-BONED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY CAR AND THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED ON THE PASSENGERS SIDE DOOR AND HIT MY DAUGHTER IN THE FACE. THE AIRBAG HAD FIBERS AND SUCH ON IT THAT WAS IMBEDDED IN MY DAUGHTERS EYE. SHE HAD TO HAVE SURGERY TO GET IT OUT. *TR

I WAS STOPPED TO WAIT ON ONCOMING CARS TO PASS TO TURN LEFT ONTO A STREET. AS I WAS ABOUT TO TURN WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND WOULD NOT TURN.IF, MY STEERING WHEEL WOULD HAVE NOT BEEN TURNED ALREADY, AS I WAS GETTING READY TO TURN, I WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT ON THE RIGHT SIDE WHERE MY CHILD WAS SITTING. I HAD NO OPTION BUT TO DRIVE UP ON THE CURB. THIS IS THE SAME SITUATION AS THE 2008 AND 2009 MODEL MALIBU'S WHICH HAVE A RECALL ON THEM FOR STEERING:ELECTRIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM GM'S RECALL #14V15300 RECALLED 3/31/14. OBVIOUSLY THIS RECALL NEEDS TO BE ADDED TO THE 2010 MODEL SINCE IT IS STILL OCCURING. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE FREELAND CHEV. WHERE THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN DUE TO THE BAD TORQUE SENSOR. THIS COST ME 689.00 TO REPLACE, I FEEL GM SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS AND ADD THE 2010 MODEL MALIBU TO THE RECALL LIST SO THAT I CAN BE REIMBURSED FOR THEIR ERROR AND SO THEIR CUSTOMERS THAT PUT TRUST IN PURCHASING THEIR VEHICLES ARE SAFE. TO NOTE I HAVE CONTACTED AND SPOKE WITH SEVERAL REPS AT GM NONE OF WHICH OFFERED ANY TYPE OF HELP WITH THIS MATTER. *TR

DEALERSHIP STATES THAT ALL THEY HAVE TO FIX ACCORDING TO RECALL 13036 IS THE BODY CONTROL MODULE. THE TRACTION CONTROL AND ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, ILLUMINATION LIGHT FLASHING OFF AND ON SAYING SERVICE SOON, ALTHOUGH MENTIONED IN RECALL LETTER, IS NOT INCLUDED AND WE MUST PAY OVER $350 TO REPAIR TO PROBLEM. *TR

FUEL LEAK AT FUEL TANK. FUEL PRESSURE LINE AT FUEL PUMP MODULE CRACKED AND LEAKING FUEL EXTERNALLY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND EXCESSIVE FORCE WAS REQUIRED TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL.

UPDATED 11/21/14 *CN UPDATED 02/03/15*JB

ME AND MY MOTHER WERE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN MY CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP CUTTING OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. EARLIER THAT DAY MY CAR SEEMS AS IF IT DIDN'T WANT TO START . IF FINALLY STARTED AND WHEN IT DID THE OUTCOME WAS IT CUTTING OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. SEVERAL OTHERS WHOM I KNOW THAT HAVE CHEVROLET MALIBU'S ARE ALSO HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE AND I THINK CHEVROLET NEEDS TO TAKE THE TIME AND CHECK THE IGNITION M. *TR

HOWEVER, THE PART NEEDED WAS UNAVAILABLE TO PERFORM THE REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET MALIBU. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNAVAILABLE.

DRIVERS SEAT (POWER) BROKEN AWAY FROM SLIDING SEAT TRACK ON BACK PASSENGER SIDE OF DRIVER SEAT ALLOWING COMPLETE SEAT TO TILT AND HIT DOOR DURING RIGHT TURN AFFECTING ABILITY TO DRIVE VEHICLE. *TR

WHEN I TRY TO PUT MY CAR IN PARK IT WILL NOT GO INTO THE PARK POSITION. I HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKES ON IN ORDER TO TURN THE CAR OFF. THE KEY CAN NOT BE REMOVED AND I HAVE TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY. THE GEARS AUTOMATICALLY SLIDES FROM R TO L WITHOUT PRESSING THE BUTTON. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL IN 2012 FOR THE SHIFT LEVER AND THAT THE PART EXPIRED A YEAR LATER WHEN THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD IT. I RECENTLY PURCHASED THE VEHICLE 8 MONTHS AGO. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO CHEVROLET AND THEY CONFIRM IT IS THE SHIFT LEVER. I AM REQUIRED TO PAY FOR THE FIX EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS A RECALL ALMOST 2 YEARS AGO WHICH APPEARS TO ME TO BE THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

WHILE LEAVING THE PARKING LOT, MY POWER STEERING ALERT CAME ON. I TOOK MY CAR INTO THE MECHANIC, AND HE FOUND AN ERROR MESSAGE RELATING TO THE STEERING COLUMN IN MY CAR. HE SAID TO FIX THE PROBLEM, THEY WOULD NEED TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN, ALIGN THE WHEELS/STEERING, ECT. ALL AT A COST OF ABOUT $873. MY CAR ISN'T EVEN 5 YEARS OLD YET, AND I'M FORCED TO REPLACE THE STEERING COLUMN? I SEE THAT GM HAS RECALLED THE 2004-2006, 2009 MALIBU MODELS, AND A NUMBER OF OTHER YEARS AND MODELS DUE TO FAULTY POWER STEERING. I DRIVE HOME TO SEE MY MOM WHO IS AT THE END OF LIFE WITH CANCER. THAT DRIVE IS ABOUT 130 MILES ONE WAY, MOSTLY INTERSTATE DRIVING AT 65MPH. IF I DON'T HAVE THIS FIXED, I COULD POSSIBLY LOOSE MY POWER STEERING, OR WORSE, LOOSE STEERING ALL TOGETHER, AND NOT ONLY INJURE OR KILL MYSELF, BUT OTHERS ON THE ROAD. SO I AM FORCED TO FIX THIS ISSUE, WHICH I FEEL SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALLS. I DON'T THINK I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY ALMOST $1000 FOR A CAR THAT ISN'T EVEN 5 YEARS OLD, THAT I PAID $25,000+ FOR. RESOLUTION FOR ME WOULD BE TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THE WORK I'M GOING TO HAVE DONE, AND HAVE THE 2010 MALIBU'S ADDED TO THE RECALL LIST. THANK YOU *TR

COMPLAINED QUITE A FEW TIMES TO THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMING ON AND GOING OFF. FIRST TIME WE TOOK IT IN AT 35K MILES THEY REPLACED THE AIRBAG HARNESS. ABOUT 6 MONTHS PASS AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON AGAIN, ALONG WITH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT, CAR RUNS RUFF, SO THEY COME OUT WITH A BROKEN FUEL INJECTION WIRE, A BAD AIRBAG CABLE CONNECTION AND A BILL FOR THE REPAIRS. NOW THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF AS YOU DRIVE. ITS DUE IN FOR THE ALREADY BRAKE SWITCH RECALL SO WE LET THEM KNOW THAT THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON AND GOES OFF. THREE HOURS PASS AND HERE COMES THE COUNTER WORKER WITH A $1500.00 PARTS BILL FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF SIDE AIRBAGS DASH AIRBAGS AND THE SENSORS...I WILL NEVER BUY A NEW CAR AGAIN. RFTBJ./ *TR

CAR WAS RECALLED FOR #13036 FROM ESTERO BAY CHEVROLET 9/05/2014 ESTERO FLORIDA.THE CAR IS STILL MALFUNCTIONING. TAKEN CAR BACK TO DEALER, THEY STATED THEY CHECK THE WORK DONE. THE CAR STILL SHIFT OUT PARK AND GETS STUFF IN PARK AND WILL NOT SHIFT OUT WITHOUT FORCING THE SHIFTER AND THE BRAKE. 9/18/2014 TAKEN CAR BACK TO DEALER AND TOLD THEM THE CAR IS STILL MALFUNCTIONING. THE SAID IT DID NOT DO IT FOR THEM. I STATED YOU NEED TO DRIVE THE CAR FOR AT LEAST HALF HOUR TO MALFUNCTION. I FEEL GM IS TRYING TO FIX THE PROBLEM THE CHEAPEST WAY POSSIBLE, BY PLACING A WASHER AND GREASE ON THE WIRE HARNESS. I FEEL THE ENTIRE BCM ( BRAKE STABILTY COMTROL MODULE) WIRE HARNESS SHOULD BE REPLACED. THEY HAVE HAS THE CAR FOR 2.1/2 DAYS ANC OULD NOT FIX IT. I HAVE PROCEEDS TO CALL GM ABOUT THIS PROBLEM.. I HAVE NOT DRIVEN THIS CAR IN 5 MONTHS BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEMS TO THE CAR. THIS CAR IS USED BY MY DAUGHTER AND MY INFANT GRANDSON. I NOW HAVE BEEN MAKING CAR PAYMENTS ON IT FOR 5 MONTHS AND COULD NOT USE IT. VERY DISAPPOINTMEND IN GM.. *TR

I WAS TRYING TO REVERSE MY 2010 CHEVROLET MALIBU LS WHEN I REALIZED I COULDN'T GET MY CAR OUT OF PARK. THE SHIFT CABLE IN MY TRANSMISSION IS BROKEN! THIS SAME SHIFT CABLE THAT WAS REPLACED DURING THE FIRST ROUND OF RECALLS BACK IN EARLY 2013 IS NOW BROKEN! *TR

GASOLINE LEAKS FROM TOP OF GAS TANK. EXCESS FLOWS DOWN THE SIDE ONTO TANK SKID PLATE AND EXHAUST PIPES. REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP IMMEDIATELY AT $700 COST. THE LEAK APPEARED TO BE COMING FROM THE FUEL LINE COMING DIRECTLY OUT OF THE FUEL PUMP. NO GAS ODOR HAS BEEN DETECTED SINCE REPAIR. I FOUND OUT THIS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE FOR OTHER MALIBU OWNERS. TO ME, HAVING GASOLINE LEAKING ONTO EXHAUST PIPES AND IT BEING A COMMON OCCURRENCE SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY NHTSA. *TR

WHEN I WENT TO START THE CAR IT STARTED SPUTTERING. IT THEN HAD THE SERVICE ESC LIGHT COME ONE. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND WENT TO RESTART IT. IT STARTED SHAKING AND SPUTTERING AND THEN SAID TRACTION CONTROL. I WENT TO TRY AND DRIVE IT AND IT WOULD NOT LET ME GO OVER 10 MPH. IT ALSO WOULD HESITATE FOR ABOUT 3 TO 4 SECONDS. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE CHEVY PLACE. WHEN I GOT HOME I HAD A LETTER IN THE MAIL DISCUSSING A RECENT RECALL ON THE VEHICLE. IT SEEMED TO HAVE ALL THE SAME ISSUES THAT I HAD EXPERIENCED IN THE LETTER. WHEN THE DEALERSHIP CALLED ME THE NEXT MORNING THEY STATED THEY BELIEVED IT WAS SOMETHING OTHER THAN THE RECALL CAUSING THE PROBLEM. THEY STATED THEY WOULD DO THE RECALL AND LET ME KNOW. AFTER THEY DID THE RECALL THEY STATED IT STILL DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM AND THAT IT MIGHT BE A FUEL ISSUE. I AM WAITING FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST, BUT I FIND IT VERY COINCIDENTAL THAT THERE WAS A RECALL AND MY CAR IS ACTING UP, BUT EVERYONE IS TELLING ME THE TWO ARE NOT RELATED. THEY ARE ALSO TELLING ME IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND I AM HAVING TO PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED. IT SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THESE ISSUES WITH LESS THAN 55,000 MILES. *TR

WHILE GOING THRU A TURN THE INPUT SHAFT CAME OUT OF THE RACK AND PINION CAUSING LOSS OF STEERING. WHEELS WENT STRAIGHT CAUSING THE CAR TO JUMP THE CURB AND STRIKE BOULDERS IN THE LAND SCAPE. *TR

INTERIOR ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WITH THE LIGHTS IN THE DASHBOARD---DASH LIGHTS (DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER) AND RADIO LIGHTS OCCASIONALLY DO NOT COME ON AND/OR FREQUENTLY GO OFF WHILE DRIVING. RADIO WILL BE WORKING THEN AUX IMPUT DEVICE WILL APPEAR AND THE RADIO STOPS WORKING. ALSO THE RADIO LIGHTS WILL TILE AT TIMES AND THEN START ROLLING IN RECTANGULAR LINES. *TR

AFTER PARKING MY 2010 CHEVY MALIBU, I CAN SMELL GASOLINE AT THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE EXTERIOR (GAS TANK IS ON OPPOSITE SIDE). THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR SOME TIME SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN MARCH 2013. I DON'T KNOW WHEN I FIRST SMELLED IT. I ALSO HAVE HAD POOR GAS MILEAGE SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. I FINALLY MENTIONED IT TO SOMEONE AND THEY TOLD ME TO LOOK UP RECALL NOTICES. THERE IS NO RECALL BUT I FOUND MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER CHEVY MALIBU OWNERS. *TR

I NOTICED WHILE DRIVING ONE MORNING MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED, BUT I WAS NOT DEPRESSING THE BRAKES. WHEN I PUSHED THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE BRAKE LIGHTS WENT OFF. AT THIS VERY SAME TIME WHEN I TRIED TO SET THE CRUISE CONTROL, IT WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO DO SO. THIS HAS BEEN AN ON-AGAIN, OFF-AGAIN ISSUE. SOME DAYS IT WORKS CORRECTLY BUT OTHER DAYS THE SAME PROBLEM PERSISTS. I RESEARCHED ONLINE AND SAW THAT THERE WAS A RECALL BY GM FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM, RECALL ID# 14V252000, BUT WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CHECKED MY VIN # THEY SAID THAT MY CAR WAS NOT UNDER THE RECALL, AND THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO TAKE MY CAR AND SEE IF IT HAPPENS TO THEM IN ORDER TO FIX IT. I READ THE RECALL AND IT IS EXACTLY THE ISSUE THAT I AM HAVING. PLEASE HELP AND ADD MINE, AND I'M SURE OTHERS, VIN#'S TO THIS RECALL BEFORE SOMETHING HORRIBLE HAPPENS! *TR

WHILE DRIVING SUDDENLY THE CAR JERKED (LIKE A TRANSMISSION ERROR) AND THEN THE MESSAGE ON THE DISPLAY WOULD SHOW "SERVICE ESC" AND "TRACTION OFF". I BROUGHT THE CAR IN FIRST TO RUN AN ELECTRICAL TEST, WHERE THEY REPROGRAMMED A SENSOR (COST=$158.95). A FEW DAYS LATER THE VERY SAME ISSUE HAPPENED AND AT THIS TIME WHEN I CAME TO A STOP SIGN I WENT TO ACCELERATE AND MY CAR HAD SHUT ITSELF OFF. I THEN BROUGHT IT IN WHERE THE FOUND CODES REGARDING THE MANIFOLD ABSOLUTE PRESSURE (MAP) SENSOR PROBLEMS. THE SERVICE PLACE THEN MONITORED BOTH THE COMPUTER DATA FOR THE MAP SENSOR AND THE ACTUAL SENSOR DATA DURING TEST DRIVE AND FOUND THAT WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURS THE COMPUTER DATA DROPS OUT BUT THE SENSOR DATA REMAINS THE SAME, THEY SUGGESTED THAT IT COULD BE A POSSIBLE WIRING PROBLEM, AND I AGREED TO HAVE THEM REPLACE THE SENSOR.(COST+$275.15). NOTHING HAPPENED UNTIL A FEW WEEKS LATER AND THE VERY SAME ISSUE OCCURRED. MY HUSBAND PLAYED AROUND WITH SOME WIRES AND HAD NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A POSSIBLE WAY THAT CONDENSATE COULD GET INTO WHERE THE SENSORS WERE AND SO HE FIXED THAT ISSUE. I HAVE NOT HAD THIS ISSUE SINCE THEN. JUST WANTING TO SEE IF THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM AND TO GET A PROPER FIX. *TR

WATER LEAKS INSIDE THE CAR WHEN IT RAINS OUTSIDE OR WHEN I GO THROUGH A CAR WASH. THE ISSUE WASN'T DETECTED AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE HOWEVER IT WAS NOTICED SEVERAL MONTHS LATER DURING A PERIOD OF FREQUENT AND HEAVY RAIN. THE ISSUE BEGAN WITH WATER DRIPPING ONLY NEAR THE BRAKE PEDAL, HOWEVER OVER TIME THE ISSUE HAS SPREAD TO AN AREA BETWEEN THE DRIVER'S DOOR AND FRONT WINDSHIELD. WATER NOW LEAKS FROM BOTH AREAS WHEN IT RAINS AND/OR WHEN I DRIVE THROUGH A CAR WASH. IF I PARK ON AN INCLINE, SOMETIMES THE WATER WILL DRAIN FROM THE CAR. ALSO, THE WATER HAS STAINED MY INTERIOR, LEAVES A MOLDY SMELL AND OVER TIME I WILL ASSUME THAT THE ISSUE WILL SPREAD EVEN FURTHER OR MAY DAMAGE THE INTERIOR ROOF. BECAUSE WATER LEAKS FROM ABOVE, IT SOAKS ALL OF THE BUTTONS ON THE DOOR (WINDOWS, LOCKS, ETC) AS WELL AS THE BUTTON TO HEAT THE SEAT - HOPEFULLY THAT DOES NOT CREATE AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. *TR

THIS IS THE THIRD RIM THAT HAS CRACKED ON THIS 2010 CHEVY MALIBU,WITHIN 6 MOS. AT THE PRICE OF $253.00. *TR

I KEEP GETTING A "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL" MESSAGE WHEN AND ONLY WHEN I AM SITTING IN THE CAR IN "PARK". ALSO ANOTHER ISSUE IS THE CAR JUST DIES AS I TURN THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE LEFT IN A TURN OR ON A CURVE. DEALER SAYS THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUES. I CALL "[XXX] AS I CANNOT STOP THE ISSUE NOT ONLY THAT BUT THE DEALER HAS CHARGED ME $300 PLUS FOR THE REPAIR? SAY WHAT? INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

SUPPORT BAR UNDERNEATH THE DRIVER'S SEAT SEVERED AND THE RESULT WAS THAT THE SEAT CAME OFF OF THE RIGHT BRACKET. THE SEAT WAS RESTING ON ONLY THE LEFT BRACKET. GENERAL MOTORS WOULD NOT COVER UNDER ANY WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH CAR WAS UNDRIVEABLE DUE TO SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. GENERAL MOTORS STATED THAT I SOMEHOW HAD CAUSED THE SUPPORT BAR TO BREAK. IT COST ME $750 FOR A NEW SEAT AND THE LABOR TO REPLACE. I AM IN POSSESSION OF THE SEAT AND TO ME IT LOOKS LIKE A FAULTY WELD OR A DEFECTIVE SUPPORT BAR. I FIND IT IMPOSSIBLE THAT I SOME HOW BROKE A THICK STEEL BAR JUST BY GETTING IN AND OUT OF THE VEHICLE. *JS

SINCE I PURCHASED MY CAR THERE HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT INCIDENTS THAT I DIDN'T PAY ATTENTION TO. THE TRACTION,CRUISE CONTROL DON'T WORK PROPERLEY, THE WARNING LIGHT FOR THE AIR BAGS APPEARS AND WILL STAY ON FOR AWHILE I'VE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE LIGHTING. AS SOON AS I RECIEVED THE RECALL LETTER I CALLED THE DEALER RIGHT AWAY AND TOLD THEM ABOUT THE PROBLEMS, THEY LOOKED IT UP AND SAID I HAD TO WAIT UNTIL THE PARTS ARRIVE. I'M VERY CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY I USE MY CAR FOR MY FAMILY AND WILL BE HAVING TO MAKE A LONG DISTANCE TRIP TO PICK UP MY DAUGHTER. WHAT DO I DO IN THE MEANTIME WHEN MY CAR IS ALREADY HAVING PROBLEMS? *JS
