Tuesday December 15th 2009 I took my new 2009 chevy Malibu to the dealership where I purchased the vehicle for service. Service done was state inspection, oil change, tire repair and for a recall on the transmission lever. The recall service work completed was the installation of the transmission shift cable kit. I picked my vehicle up at 2pm that afternoon after all service work was complete. About 20 minutes later after leaving the dealership my vehicle caught fire on the interstate. The police and fire crew were on the scene to control traffic and the fire. Cause of the fire is currently under investigation with my insurance CO.

My 2004 Chevrolet Malibu was parked legally in front of my house. The street was covered with black ice. The driver of a 1999 Ford ranger truck slipped on the ice and hit the front of my car. His auto insurance, state farm, paid for a rental car for 40 days and paid $5,338. 10 in body repairs, including replacing the radiator. However, when it came time to pay $527. 18 to replace the steering shaft and the gear shifter, they refused. The reason given was that these parts in the 2004 Chevrolet Malibu have a history of wearing out prematurely. The car ran fine before the accident. However, after reading the complaints on your web site, I would also like to add my complaint. I bought this car as a gm certified used vehicle on August 2, 2007, 17 months before the accident. The car had 31,720 miles on it when I bought it and 34,517 miles at the time of the accident, a difference of 2,797 miles I think people should know that insurance companies do not pay for certain components on the 2004 Chevrolet Malibu. This car is still being sold all over the country. I found 7 gm certified used vehicles, Chevrolet 2004 Malibu's for sale within a radius of 250 miles ranging in price from $9,500 to $14,000. People think they are safe when they buy these 2004 Malibu's; they are not. Is there some way they can be taken off the road? the intermediate shaft needed to be replaced. Updated 03/18/09. The consumer was also informed the brakes and gear shift needed to be replaced. Updated 04/09/09.
