2001 Chevrolet Malibu review from North America

What things have gone wrong with the car?

I have had braking problems with this car from day 1. I have to replace the brake pads every year like clockwork. I have had to replace the rotors 3 times. I have to put tires on it every year also like clockwork. I have had to replace a transmission sensor to the tune of $900.00. I also have a buzzing when I use the turn signal. The heater quit working on the low setting, then quit working on the next setting and so on until now it only works on the 2 highest settings. The rear window defroster quit working yesterday. I have to always leave a good distance between myself and the car in front of me because if I have to hit the brakes hard or suddenly, they seem to go into some kind of anti lock mode that doesn't stop the car, just a grinding noise and very little stopping power. The only good thing I can say about this car is (knock on wood) it has always started and not left me stranded, but the brake problems are pretty scary. I can't help but wonder what will be next.
