2001 Chevrolet Malibu review from North America
"This car has been alright, but not the best"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had problems with the brakes, rotors, hazard light, blinker and fan blower.
I have found the problems with the brakes and rotors is the rotors do align properly and have to be dial indicated. After changing every 6000 miles these have been much further with no pulsating.
The fan blower stopped working on 1 and 2. I replaced the blower control board that is behind the glove compartment. It is way in the back on the right side.
The blinker did not work properly be got it fixed under recall.
Have a tick in the engine, but goes away after it warms up.
