1998 Chevrolet Malibu review from North America
"Good car, but expensive to maintain brakes"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front brake discs wrap and vibrate every 10000 km, Probably because of poor ventilation causing overheating. Installing high quality, expensive, discs did not solve the problem. This might be a basic design fault.
