1999 Chevrolet Malibu LS review from North America

Back Lights went out at about 4000 miles.

ALternator went out at about 25000 miles.

Battery went out at about 30000 miles.

Intake gasket went out at about 40000 miles.

Tires needed to be replaced at about 36000 miles.

Starter went out and needed to be replaced at about 1000 miles.

Brakes had bad pulsation and rotors and pads were replaced at about 33000 miles.

Brakes have the bad pulsation again at 50000 miles and rotors need to be replaced.

Air conditioning works some times, need to turn knob back and forth several times and usually the a/c kicks in.

Belt was replaced at 42000 miles.

Glove compartment door does not close tight.

Air bags light indicator goes on on panel. refuse to pay the money to replace these sensors.

Car does handle well and is fun to drive. The problems with this car are well know on all the Malibu models. the service managers all say, this happens to all of them, we only sell and repair them, we do not make them.

Chevrolet has not done anything for me to make me buy another car from them, given all the problems. They say that the car is off warranty and will not support any of the cost of replacing faulty parts. How can they get away knowing that these parts have all failed in the passed? Maybe that is why they now have a new model for the Malibu. Did they run out of their time limit.
