The rear tail lights on my Chevrolet Malibu are about to burn I can smell a bakalite smell when I open the trunk. I have been going to maroone chevy in pembroke pines saw the service rep ( mandy ramos ) complainng to him since 2000 and he said that there was no recalls on the lights. Ifound out that general motors filed a confidentiality report and that way gm did not repair the lights. I disabled person and when I bought the car I knew that it had to last a long time. Now I am fearful of it catching on fire. It cost me $ 25,000. 00 to buy and gm has the nerve to keep ontelling me for the past 5 years that there is nothing that can be done. It could have been done back in 2000 when they requested the confidentiality agreement being approved, they knew that they had this problem. The report is ea00010 I found this out today online. The cost of the pair of lights is $ 500. 00. Tell me where I can get this kind of money on disability. The government is good at hiding things. Maybe they can find out how I can come up with the money before I get burned alive as I am disabled.
Consumer has replaced pads/calipers and rotors 3 times, and getting ready to replace them again. Vehicle was shaking/shuttering and grinding when brakes were applied. Chevrolet dealer didn't seem to think it was a problem. It was no reason for them to be replaced this close together. Manufacturer could only say there was no recall, and until then they have no obligation. The tail lamp failed. Right rear door sometimes won't open from inside and difficult to open from outside. Consumer demand a refund of the full purchase price of the vehicle or a comparable vehicle.
Water entering right rear tail light - left rear tail light is burning bulbs out also.
Ea00010; tail lights went out at least 6 times. Dealer could not determine the problem. Please provide further information.
