2012 CHEVROLET MALIBU Complaints

MY HEADLIGHTS KEEP GOING OUT, MY CAR WILL NOT ALIGN AND THE ELECTRICAL PLUG WILL NOT WORK

DRIVER'S SEAT BRACKET ON RIGHT SIDE HAS BROKEN AND SEAT IS WOBBLY AND LEANING ON THE CENTER CONSOLE. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2012 MALIBU (AND OTHER YEARS) AND ISN'T BEING COVERED BY WARRANTY. MANY PEOPLE ARE SAYING THIS IS A $1000 REPAIR AT THE DEALER. THIS IS AN UNSAFE CONDITION AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED-- CONSUMERS SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS DEFECT.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2012 CHEVY MALIBU ON A HIGHWAY, THE CAR SUDDENLY TURNED OFF IN MOTION. I THEN LOOKED TO THE REAR OF THE CAR WHILE TRYING TO MANEUVER THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND NOTICED THE ENTIRE REAR OF THE CAR ENGULFED IN FLAMES. WHEN THE CAR CAME TO A STOP I WAS ABLE TO JUMP OUT AND RUN FOR SOME AID. I WAS ABLE TO PUT THE FIRE OUT WITH A FIRE EXTINGUISHER BEFORE THE THE POLICE AND FIRE DEPARTMENTS ARRIVED. UPON INVESTIGATION, IT WAS CONCLUDED THAT THE FIRE WAS CAUSE BY A FAULTY FUSE BOX LOCATED IN THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE TRUNK. THE CAR IS TOTALED.
