2000 Chevrolet Malibu LS review from North America
"Be aware of the car history if at all possible"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Turn signals work intermittently.
Hazard Lamps do not work at all.
Passlock theft system will not allow car to start for 10 minutes and then may do so again.
General comments?
There was a recall issued on February 5, 2004 on the Hazard/Turn Lamps. I have contacted GM about these concerns and they stated they could not be of service for the Passlock theft system problem. There should be a way to deactivate it. There has been several occasions where it was a huge inconvenience such as being late to pick up my child from school or late to work. I am a single mom and I cannot afford to pay a mechanic to fix this problem, so I just deal with it as it comes. Otherwise the car has been good. I do prefer my Toyota Solara over the Chevy Malibu!
