2001 Chevrolet Malibu LS review from North America
"I am very disappointed with this model, it concerns me that the brakes might fail on me."
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I purchased my Malibu in 2001. I have replaced the brake pads 4 times. The rotors have been replaced at 30,000 miles. There is definitely a problem with this model. I am so disappointed with a the expenses that I have incurred with this model.
I have driven other vehicles for 70,000 miles without replacing brake pad, much less replacing the rotors.
I would like to see something done about this problem. I believe that it is something to do with the front end. Whatever something needs to be done. I have discussed with others about their brakes, and they are having the same problem.
I look forward to see the problems with the Malibu taken care of in the near future.
