2003 Chevrolet Malibu Basic review from North America
"Terrible car! Too many repairs needed"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The brakes have been replaced multiple times, the first time under warranty.
The AC is not working as it should. In a half hour commute, it does not cool the car down at all.
Wheel bearings needed replacing at 45,000. The ABS came on.
The tires that came with the vehicle (performance tires) were so bad in the snow I had to immediately replace them.
I would never recommend this car to anyone. I wish it was paid off so I could get rid of it. I won't ever buy a Chevy again.
