In october of 2009 i noticed the shifting of vehicle was erratic and improper. car would act like it would not shift or if it did was really labored. november of 2009 as i pulled into work transmission exploded. had towed to dealer said repaired/ replaced/rebuilt, was back with more problems only to find out parts were replaced backwards onto transmission fixed that only for me to return again for transmission issues. now again the car acts like it wont shift properly will not attempt to go sometimes, was back at shop, they said they couldn't find anything wrong. so now i have made a video and have taken pictures of transmission fluid leaking from pan under car. i am afraid to take it back to where i have been going because when they have attempted to repair its worse or in same condition,so have appointment today with another auto mechanic to try an diagnosis. this is the fifth time i have had my 2009 chevrolet malibu in for defective and dangerous transmission issues. *tr
