Tl* the contact owns a 2010 chevrolet malibu. the contact stated he hit a piece of old concrete in the road that had fallen off a truck. after traveling about 100 yards, a warning bell announced low tire pressure. when the consumer was able to pull over safely, he opened the truck and discovered there was no jack, no tire, no donut and no spare rim. instead, the manufacturer provided a tire sealant and compressor kit. the contact called aaa, and when the tow truck driver arrived on the scene, he informed the contact the tire had a large cut and that no sealant could seal it. firestone informed the contact the tire could not be repaired and the sealant would not have worked, and even if it had, the rim had a small dent that meant the tire would not have held air. the manufacturer was notified of the problem. the approximate failure mileage was 12,800. ....updated 06/18/12 *bf updated 06/2/12
I purchased a 2010 chevy malibu on monday june 28th at finnegan chevrolet in houston texas. at the time of purchase it had 14 miles on the odometer. my family and i started to drive back home to kentucky and at about 300 miles on the unit, the speedometer started to act up with fluctuations and then dropped to 0, upon which we called on-star as an emergency and they checked the vehicle and they said we could continue to drive it and have it checked within 24 hours. we stopped for gas and restarted our travel when at 450 it started becoming worse. we checked again with on-star and they said it had 3 error singles but we should be able to make it back. at 491 miles, the transmission completely failed while driving at 75 miles and hour and almost created an accident but my son was able to bring the car to a stop. we didn't continue but had the car towed to gwatney chevy in jacksonville, ar. they next day we were told it was a computer malfunction and they road tested the car and it would make it to kentucky. i took over driving and just 5 miles down the road, lost complete drivetrain/transmission control at 72 miles per hour in a construction zone and almost had an accident again do to the drop in speed. this is two episodes with this vehicle in 24 hours and no assurance from the manufacture it wouldn't happen again. the car is back in gwatney chevy in jacksonville, ar. *tr
