Water leak in 2008 Malibu LTZ

I visited Tom Peden in 2007 and talked having a salesman and informed them I had been preapproved for mortgage through my lender to get a vehicle. I told him I needed a dark Malibu LTZ and also to call me once they got one in. Greater than a year later, I still hadn't gotten a phone. Oneday when I was headed to Their and Her Day-Spa within the summer of 08, I noticed a dark Malibu LTZ left at the front end of the lot. I ceased, informed them I needed it, settled a deposit and completed the remainder of my duties for that evening. Later that night, I returned and purchased the vehicle. I purchased A FRESH 08 Chevy Malibu LTZ.

Immediately, I observed a sound from the back of the automobile. I got it to Tate-Porter and also the support supervisor required it to get a try. While he delivered, he explained the doorway screen had a cut which was not trimmed and he set it. We'd observed often were we'd to drive the address back about the rear-side of the system since it might usually emerge. A couple weeks later, my child was resting within the back-seat and place her beverage within the rear beverage holder. She got the beverage right before it required a dive in to the ground. I got the vehicle back again to Tate-Porter. Often, they simply pressed it back in. Ultimately (nearly 2 yrs later) they explained the videos were lacking that retains the cell onto the system. They requested the item and set it in. I got the vehicle for them often since the foam insulation round the back glass kept coming free and sticking up within the rear glass. They simply pushed it back in numerous occasions and not changed it - even though it was apparent the sticky tape wasn't functioning. At the moment, the foam nevertheless stays up in my own back glass.

Following A few weeks I experienced water leaking on my thighs after I was operating. The support supervisor at Tate-Porter explained it had been condensation in the AC also it was typical. Subsequently within the winter, water started flowing in through my overhead lamps. I got it back again to Tate-Porter, & the support supervisor directed me to not clean the automobile since this is exactly what triggered the trickle. They got a paper towel and swiped the lamps, splash, and system. Dont wash the vehicle - problem solved. I've possessed several automobiles and cleaned all of them all year round and not once had one flow since I cleaned it.

After several dismissed grievances and disappointment to supply support for that water leaks, my car ultimately malfunctioned. I really could drive the fuel pedal completely towards the ground and also the vehicle wouldn't exceed 40 kilometers each hour. I named Todd at Tate-Porter and informed all of them the rules the vehicle was exhibiting and was requested to create the vehicle in. I got it and decreased it down. Later, I obtain a phone from Todd within the support office. He explained my vehicleis computer have been crammed with water also it had shorted-out creating it to breakdown and was the reason for the issues. (DUH! I'd KEPT TELLING HIM IT'D A FLIPPIN WATER LEAK AND HE KEPT TELLING ME TO NOT WASH IT!) He said they were repairing the pc problem and he'd need to create a scheduled appointment on Thursday for that "water physician" to check out my vehicle simply because they don't manage these kinds of water leaks within the support office.

Again, I got my vehicle and decreased it down. The "water physician" advised me and Todd the plastic end-cap about the monitoring of my sunroof was lacking that was evoking the water to strain within the vehicle, in the place of wearing along the drain pipes. I TOLD THEM IT WAS DRIPPING WITHIN THE CAR! The water physician stated he mounted the plastic end-cap, changed the unhealthy rug support and set the water trickle. I acquired in my own vehicle to drive-away after I observed the stop dishes about the attributes of the ground pot wherever damaged all-up. I told them-they had a need to substitute them since it was not like this after I slipped it down. They'd to-order the components, and again, I'd to fall my vehicle down to possess them mounted.

Sometime later I had been operating and also the water arrived from underneath the controls and released onto my thighs while I had been operating again. Again, I named Tate-Porteris support supervisor and that I told him it had been not AC climate and requested him exactly what the problem was and just how could it be set. Their support supervisor (Todd) explained to not clean my vehicle. Earlier this Friday, I was operating my vehicle after-work along I-77 to 7th road when water came flowing from under my controls onto my thighs. I had been ultimately pissed! I named Tate-Porter at 5:35 and requested for Todd, the support supervisor. The salesman advised me the support division leaves at 5:00 on Fridays. And so I questioned him easily introduced my vehicle towards the ton if he'd simply record he noticed and may confirm that my vehicle was pouring inside on my thighs. Obviously, my disappointment was entertaining to him. The salesman set me on speakerphone and three of these stood round the telephone giggling when I reported about purchasing a $30,000 vehicle simply to be informed to not clean it. I told them I'd not cleaned it and also the vehicle have been left for that three months just before that evening. The sellers explained to not take it for them simply because they couldn't record something and that I had a need to are available in on Sunday and find out Todd. I subsequently named Chevy Customer Support (where I am confident I obtained Asia) and my situation was increased to some greater consultant who ought to be calling me back on Friday.

Saturday, I got my vehicle towards the support division and talked with Todd about scheduling another visit to repair my "water trickle" whilst the sellers directed. Todd stated he believed the drain pipe was disconnected. He explained within the winter when water gets inside and stops and thaws and refreezes and re-thaws, it fundamentally operates the drain pipe down after which the water leaks within the vehicle. On the road over the parking lot to obtain my VIN and also to label my automobile, you know what he did??? He critically looked over me and requested, "Well, did you clean it?" I told him to "view it! It is flippin dirty! NO, I DID NOT CLEAN IT." As interested when Iam confident he was when I quit, I was mad!!! He'd planned a scheduled appointment for that "water physician" to identify my vehicle and that I was to create it back for Thursday.

While Chevy called me on Friday, the larger consultant stated they'd look at the problem and contact the dealer and follow-up with my situation. She subsequently named me back and explained that she'd contact me following the visit on Friday. On Wednesday, the water physician named and explained the drain pipe had come unplugged and triggered the water to trickle within the vehicle. The water physician stated they reattached the pipe and changed the support within the vehicle since it was moist again. Chevy Customer Support called me and stated the support supervisor at Tate-Porter had assured him the automobile was set. After I visited select the vehicle up that evening, the support division was shut. I acquired within the car to depart after I observed my heater have been operating at 90-degrees that evening (clearly to dry the vehicle) along with a horrible mold, damp odor. IT HAD BEEN MY FLIPPIN VEHICLE! I requested the salesman (Bob Nelson) to smell the automobile so he might let them know it smells. He did and wouldn't review. I expected for that paperwork to notice what had occurred which I had been unsatisfied using the automobile.

The following day, I named Chevy Customer Support again. They really explained I'd to work well with Tate-Porter and also the support division to obtain the problem solved! Hahahahahaha. Plenty of issues have occurred since that time and Mark Porter herself has named me to try and help in causeing the right. He's directed Todd to-order me brand new rug and rug support for my vehicle to create it smell great again. Mark also stated when the trickle is not mounted, he'll use Chevy to acquire a as pleasing answer for me personally. Ideally which means to consider the bit of garbage back

I've informed Chevy and Tate-Porteris support supervisor, Todd, that I've purchased six automobiles from that ton, four which were completely new. And when this is actually the best they are able to handle me, I'd never purchase another FLIPPIN Chevy so long as I stay... After I informed Chevy Customer Support when they introduced me the secrets to some completely new Corvette Z06 and stated its quarry and its own free, I'd set the flippin’ factor burning watching it burn while they endured in my own garage. I also informed her I'd simply get purchase a Toyota the next time. She questioned me easily might significantly with a Toyota with all the issues they're having. I asked her what she intended. She stated using the evokes due to the gas pedal sticking. I said, “So. I'll make it happen only a little quicker and that I it's still dried after I get there.” Hahahaha. Chevy shut my situation and mentioned it "No method to obtain client satisfaction". LOL! YA THINK!? They might when they might consider the bit of garbage back.

Anyway, I just published this since I informed Chevy Customer Support and Todd at Tate-Porter Chevrolet that before evening I die, I'll inform everybody I match or understand how I had been handled within this experience. I asked Todd if he recognized what an idiot he appears like after I inform everybody he keeps showing me to not clean my vehicle to be able to resolve my water flow problem. It appeared he did not mind considerably. I told them I work on DuPont and that I have my very own business and my girlfriend has their own company, as does my mom. And we shall all inform everybody about that encounter till they ensure it is right! Oh, and incidentally... When it isnot mounted and Chevy wont go back, are you able to state: LAWYER, ORANGE LAW, and PRODUCT-LIABILITY??? Until then, should you visit a dark Chevy Malibu having a driver in a rain-suit while operating the car, or an umbrella up within the car, that'll be me.influx and honk while you go by. Easily desired to get moist when operating an automobile, I'd have simply purchased a crotch rocket road bicycle in the place of a MALIBU!
