1997 Chevrolet Malibu LS review from North America
"Bad performance"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Ignition keys was replaced three times, security theft protection problem.
Brakes - rotors, pads four times.
Two fuels ejectors.
Tune-up at 60000, promised times was 100000.
Lights for check engine on and off for year.
Computer was change qt 80000.
Fan Blower not working on 1 and 2.
Left automatic window not working.
Trunk is wet all the time.
Left side two doors, and spot close to gas tank rusted beyond repair.
High-pressure hoses on power steering.
Engine head gasket and oil caps.
Now have recall on rack and pinion, but cannot do it because dealer ship not providing a loner, sad GM not paying for it.
After 50 m/h car is shaking and not going straight on a highway.
If it is not enough let me know what is.
General comments?
The car has more problems than it should for that price.
All recalls was made on miserable problem not affecting real problems.
