| My husband was taking our four youngest children to school oct. 18, 2005, traveling south on i-45 in the houston area in our 2004 malibu classic which had approximately 40,000 miles on it. witnesses said he swerved around several cars and was going 80+ mph. he pulled onto the shoulder, passed and clipped a car; and then pulled off the freeway into the grassy median. he swerved around a post, a large electric box and a large sign pillar. his left front tire hit a culvert and was flattened. according to an expert, this pulled his car to the left, leaving the car hard to steer. the car hit a sign support structure. all five were killed; the car was demolished and caught fire. according to the police report, this all took place in less than 15 seconds. according to the expert report, the throttle body was found stuck at the near full throttle position; the brake pedal had significant deformation in the forward direction (bent from the rear to the front) indicating the driver | |||

| I purchased my car less than a year ago as a certified used car, and the brakes are becoming a very big problem. i have researched recalls that have been made to the make and model of my vehicle and notice that there has been a recall concerning the brakes. i would like to know why, if my car was in fact a certified used car, how it is possible for my brakes to be working so poorly. this problem is one that is potentially life threatening due to the increasing time that it takes to stop the vehicle. this car was purchased less than a year ago and therefore i feel strongly that i was deceived into buying a car that is a death trap!!! *jb | |||
