My check gas cap keeps coming on n my car is leaking gas from the fuel pressure line n upon doing some research I have found that several people have the same issue so I checked for a recall on the car which it seems to me it should have one but does'nt it's clearly a factor defect if alot of people are experiencing the same issue it leaks when the key is on I won't drive it for two reasons one who can afford to have their gas leaking and two I'm affraid it could blow-up while driving it. I just bought the car a month ago so really don't know when the issue actually began.
"takata recall" there is alot of completion of the fuel gage reading wrong after u fill the tank up. I will fill up on gas and my gaga will read empty and will tell me low fuel. This will go and fix it self after it run for about 20 miles. Only happens after I fill it up.
"takata recall" my 2004 malibu does not have working cruise control , my wiring is barely working as in my locks won't work , my heat we only blows cold air on defrost my defrost barely clears my windows , my t\c light is the only light that stays on all the time and I barely have traction while driving if I'm trying to accelerate getting on the highway my wheel will lock or barely move and I have to let completely off the gas to free the wheel I get any alerts on my speedometer.

My car was recalled for a transmission shift cable problem. I took it to the dealer in february of 2015 and the dealer replaced it per the recall. On marc 27th 2016 the shift cable came off of the transmission shift lever and I could not shift out of drive. I turned the motor off and now the car started rolling backwards due to the incline I had stopped on. Since the car was in drive I was unable to start the car. The brakes were ineffective because the motor was not running. This actually happened in my garage so I had my wife put a scrap of wood behind the tire so it would not roll out into the street. I contacted the dealer that did the recall work and was told that the recall service was only waranteed for 1 year. I am having difficulty understanding that the original recalled part lasted for 11 years and the replacement part only lasted for 13 months. Since this was a recalled item why isn't it repaired by the dealer under the original recall bulletin? Once a recall always a recall!!!!!!!!!!!!!
