| I bought my car on 7/21/01, it has been in for repairs 10/3/01, 7/12/02,12/11/02, 6/23/03 and 6/24/03. the problem is electrical and the engine as well. chevrolet has run diagnostics many times but is not able to fix the problem for good. everytime i take my car in, i am told it's now something different that has broken. my car will break down and sometimes if i allow it to sit for 10 - 20 minutes it will start right back up. for as many times as my car has been repaired, it has broken down at least three times before i take it in. my dispute with chevy is my car is a lemon. they cannot determine what is wrong with it because diagnostics is unable to duplicate the problem. chevy informed me that does not mean there isn't a problem it just means the computer cannot detect it. i have filed with the bbb auto line but because my car has more than 24,000 miles they say i am out of luck. chevy is unwilling to do anything about the problems i am having with my car. my dispute is should a car break down at least 5-10 times a year? | |||

| I purchased my vehicle at major automotive group and since i have purchased my car i have had many problems with it. when i went back to the dealership and asked to exchange the car for another one, i was informed that i could not until my title was received. i have had the vehicle since july 5, 2003 and still have not received a title as of yet. i have been back and forth for many repairs and still have not seen any difference. the car still remains the same and i only have one more month left of my warranty. i really feel as though they are waiting for the warranty to be up so that some action could be done. *ph | |||

| This complaint stems from the time i have had this car. a popping noise that comes from the rear of the vehicle from either both the trunk area and or suspension, a hollow sound not very loud though. it happens on uneven surfaces at very low speeds. i brought the car to the dealer four times and sometimes the sound or sounds are noticed but nothing is done,except for lubrication. sometimes it is hard to duplicate and at other times it can.also it never happens at highway speeds. only slow speeds and on right or left turns. i hope that the engineers can discover it. the car is a 2000 chevrolet malibu. vin 1g1nd52joy6211245. the car is still under warranty. | |||
