2013 CHEVROLET MALIBU Complaints

THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED FROM A DEALERSHIP IN JUNE OF 2020. SINCE OWNING THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE HAS HAD NOTHING BUT ISSUES. MAJOR ISSUES INCLUDING A STALLING/PUTTERING VIBRATION WHEN STOPPED AT A LIGHT AS WELL AS JUST STARTING THE CAR, IT HAS AN EXTREMELY LOUD START AND ROUGH. HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE IN AND OUT OF THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES INCLUDING ONE VISIT TAKING 3 WEEKS WITH A RENTAL I WAS GIVEN. THE ISSUES ARE STILL ALL HERE, INCLUDING AN OVERHEATING WITH MY WARNING SYSTEMS NOT GIVING ANY SORT OF SIGNS OR LIGHTS, ONSTAR THANKFULLY TOLD ME TO GET THE VEHICLE IN IMMEDIATELY AS I WAS IN THE RED FOR OVERHEATING AND THE FAN STILL CONTINUES TO WORK AFTER THE CAR HAS BEEN OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES. A SMELL OF BURNING COMES FROM THE CAR EVERYDAY AND OVERALL DOESN'T FEEL SAFE. THE OTHER ISSUE I BELIEVE IS STARTING TO OCCUR IS WITH THE RECALL OF THE CORRODED REAR TOE LINKS CAUSING MAJOR CLUNKING NOISES WHEN HITTING BUMPS AND TURNING.
