2001 Chevrolet Malibu LS review from North America

"I am glad that I bought the car despite its flaws."

What things have gone wrong with the car?

I love this car. It looks good and drives good. But since I bought my 2001 Malibu LS, it has had some problems. At 10,000 miles a wheel bearing went out (200.00 dollars.) Then the wires in the radio got loose making the speaker turn on and off.

At 16,000 miles my ignition switch went out. I had to have it towed and overall the experience cost me (300.00) The knobs on the radio are loose. I am afraid the car is going to nickel and dime me to death. I drive the car easy, take car of the maintenance, and have had the car since 2,700 miles and only for one year. The hazard lights click when they are off, which freaks me out.

General comments?

This is a good car with a few quirks that need to be worked on. I hope that GM will recall the ignition switch, I am a college student working 2 jobs and 300.00 dollars is a lot.

The car drives great, looks great, and is very comfortable. I just want them to recall that.
