1997 Chevrolet Malibu review from North America

I've had this car for just over a year, and in that time, it has been towed to the mechanic four times.

The first time was for a broken pulley - it was made out of plastic.

The second time was about four months later, when another plastic pulley broke.

The third time, the car wouldn't start. The mechanic ran a complete electrical system check, but couldn't find out why it wouldn't start. They put on a new battery, and that seemed to do the trick for three weeks.

The fourth time it had to be towed was three weeks after I got the new battery. I was driving normally, and the air conditioner stopped. I flipped my turn signal to make a turn and the entire car, including the steering system, shut down. I could barely turn and narrowly missed getting hit.
