2008 Chevrolet Malibu review from North America
"JUNK!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The drive train has a vibration when accelerating. When I took it to the dealer, they replaced the torque converter and it did not fix it, and they caused a exhaust leak that they tried to fix two times, but still noisy! My kids say it sounds like a junker like they hear on TV!
They are also unable to balance tires at my dealer. This is my sixth trip there and the customer service is worthless. Customer service says they need to diagnose the problem before they give me a loaner. Problem is I have been to the dealer six times and they still can't diagnose it. I am paying for Chevy to fix their mechanical problems!!
My biggest regret is the purchase of this new 2008 Chevy Malibu. Beware.. they don't know how to fix them... They are using my gas to fix their engineering mistakes.
General comments?
Don't buy this car. I never expected to say this about an American car, but.. I will never buy a Chevy again!!
