“To: KayEyeDoubleDee
This worked for me. The dealer made good right away. GM does not turn the wrench. I believe the local service manager can act without permission of the mfgr. Yes I acknowledge GM is in the toilet.”

When you say “this worked for me”... did you have the same problem as described with a 2007 Malibu? What did the dealer do (or what did you have to do to get them to correct the problem?

Thanks

I'm not sure about the lemon laws question but have you checked out the published technical service bulletins (TSB) for you vehicle?

I'm not exactly sure of all the symptoms of your vehicle's problem but from a quick check on what you described I came up with this one which may or may not be helpful

4T65E TRANSMISSION 1-2 SHIFT SHUDDER AT LIGHT TO MODERATE ACCELERATION. REPLACE COMPLETE SECOND CLUTCH ASSEMBLY. *KB

You can check the complete list yourself here: Search for Service Bulletins

The dealer's should have access to all of this information but I have had to do the research myself at one time and they treated the problem as they would a recall in my situation. It happened to be a head gasket issue so it really saved my butt.

Hope this helps.

It was not a 2007 Malibu. I paid a Honda dealer for a tire rotation and balance. The balance was not done, or done wrong, because vibraton persisted. The dealer flatly refused to recheck the car. I emailed Tom Martino. The dealer called me in a few days and promptly fixed the problem. That’s what I remember, it was several years ago.
