| Our 2010 chevy malibu vehicle has been stalling on the hwy and in the city, regardless of the speed limit. all dash lights turn on, vehicle starts stalling and slowing down, then trembles until the vehicle is turn off. we have had to pull to the side of the road, turn off the ignition, and wait five to ten minutes to restart the vehicle, emergency lights turned on for safety. we have encountered very hazardous circumstances with this vehicle on the hwy as well as in the city limits, always fearing that we may get hit from behind. we have taken our vehicle into the car dealer where we purchased it describing the problem, but to no avail. we are told nothing is wrong with the vehicle, and the machine finds nothing wrong with our vehicle. we have also taken our car to our vehicle mechanic, and told us it was the sensors in the gas pedal, which we had replaced for $400.00. a week later the vehicle started doing the same thing. again we returned to our mechanic, whom in turn took the vehicle into the chevrolet car dealer service department; and was told that all chevy malibu came defective from the factory with this same problem. the dealership has experience a lot of the same complaints with this type of vehicle. i have researched the internet for gm recalls on the 2010 chevy malibu, but have found nothing. i ask why gm has not issued a recall this problem, knowing that it is a factory defect. we the consumers are stuck with making payments for years on an unsafe vehicle; an unsafe vehicle that i have to subject my family to on a daily bases. what is gm waiting for a human tragedy to happen? we need assistance in getting this hazardous problem resolved. thank you. | |||
