1999 Chevrolet Malibu LS review from Italy

Brakes drums and pads too many times to count

Parts I have replaced:

A/C blower motor

Alternator

Battery

Ignition Switch

ABS light kept coming on, but stopped when ignition switch replaced

Rear passenger power window motor

Serpentine Belt

Spark Plugs and wires.

Current Problems:

Fuel gauge drops to empty and sounds chime as soon as tank is down to 1/2 (thank god there is a trip counter so I know when I need to fill up)

Driver side power window switch works when it wants to

Front passenger window switch operates really really really slowly

Temperature gauge registers in red zone when car is cold and bounces through the entire range of temperature during driving

Brakes make all kinds of strange noises.

I love this car. It is comfortable to drive, has great power and rides really well. It handles nicely on the winding Italian roads.

The constant glitches are annoying, especially since they have all occurred since we transferred to Italy. Therefore there are no Chevy dealers and we have to order our parts through the mail, wait weeks for them to arrive just to find we have not isolated the actual problem.
