2007 CHEVROLET MALIBU Complaints

THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BELT ON MY 2007 CHEVY MAILIBU HAS STITCHING THAT DOES NOT ALLOW IT TO POSITION ITSELF EASILY ON SMALLER PERSONS. THE SEATBELT OFTEN DOES NOT FIT SNUG BECAUSE THE STITCHING DOES NOT SLIDE EASILY THROUGH THE BUCKLE SO THE LAP BELT ISN'T SITTING SNUGLY. I HAVE ALREADY HAD IT IN TWICE AND THE BELT THEY REORDER HAS THE SAME PROBLEMS AND THEY SAY THAT THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING MORE.

EXITING ON OFF-RAMP... ACCELERATOR STUCK... WHEN I REMOVED FOOT FROM BRAKE CAR ACCELERATED AS THE WHEELS WERE TURNED... ALMOST WENT INTO SPIN... TURNED WHEELS IN OPPOSITE DIRECTION AS BRAKES WERE APPLIED... AFTER SPIN WAS UNDER CONTROL... BRAKES WERE RELEASED THEN ACCELERATOR KICKED IN AND VEHICLE SPED UP WHILE WHEELS WERE TURNED AND COLLIDED WITH WALL ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE... *TR

I AM AN AEROSPACE STRUCTURAL TECHNICIAN NOW RETIRED, AND I HAVE THE FOLLOWING PROBLEM. DRIVERS SEAT FRAME WELD BUSTED DUE TO MATERIALS AND WORKMANSHIP, CAUSING THE SEAT TO ROTATE BACKWARDS AND TO THE RIGHT. CONTACTED CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AND CHEVROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE. THEY REPLIED, SORRY ABOUT THAT! *AK

PURCHASED CAR 5/06 ,RETURNED TO THE DEALER 30 DAYS LATER WITH WITH SEVERE BRAKE AND ROTOR DAMAGE. I HAVE SINCE THEN REPLACED THE BRAKES AND ROTORS 3 TIMES, AND MY CAR WAS A ANOTHER DEALER WHO FOUND THAT A CLAMP WAS LEFT ON THE BRAKE LINE WHICH CAUSED ALL OF THE DAMAGE. PURCHASING DEALER WAS NORM REEVES HONDA , HUNTINGTON BEACH,CA , AND SERVICING DEALER COMMUNITY CHEVROLET, BURBANK CA. THE PURCHASING DEALER WOULD NOT ASSIST ME WITH THE REPAIRS AFTER THE INITIAL REPAIR WHICH I SPLIT THE COST OF THE REPAIRS.*AK

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THERE WAS A LOUD KNOCKING NOISE WHEN THE TRANSMISSION WAS SHIFTED INTO DRIVE. ALL OTHER GEARS WERE SMOOTH AND QUIET. THREE SEPARATE SERVICE DEALERS HAD INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND WERE AWARE OF THE KNOCKING SOUND, BUT INFORMED THE CONTACT THE NOISE WAS COMMON WITH THE VEHICLE AND WOULD DIMINISH WITH TIME. COMPUTER DIAGNOSTICS FOUND NOTHING WRONG. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE CONSUMER COMPLAINED OF A VIBRATION WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. THE DEALER RESURFACED THE ROTORS. UPDATED 12/01/06 *JB
