In April I bought a used 2001 Chevy Malibu with 65,000 miles. Less than two days after I bought the car the air conditioning stopped working. They first replaced the lines that didn’t solve the problem. Next they ended up having to replace the compressor that cost me $700.00. After that the car would blow cold air, but would shut off when ever it felt like it. They then had to replace the resistor switch which caused me another chunk of cash. Finally I thought my problems were solved. They weren’t since then the fuel pump has went out costing me around $500.00. One day smoke started coming out of my back window buttons. I had to replace two power windows since I bought the car. Now this month my brakes need replaced. They aren’t lying when they say Malibu are hard on brakes. All this happen to me before I personally even put 1,000 miles on the car. The car came with a tape player. I having been trying for months now to find adaptors to hook up my cd player, but they don't seem to sell them or atleast I can't find them!
The only good things I have to say about the car is that the oil is easy to change, and the seats are comfortable.
You took it to the dealer didn't you. all you have to do on the radio is splice the wires. all you have to do on the brakes is replace them yourself... takes about 20 minutes. the fuel pump should of cost about $100-$120. You're a/c condenser can be replaced for much much less than $700. I can't believe you took it to the dealer for all of the repairs! That is the biggest mistake you can make!!! Take it to an everyday mechanic... much much cheaper. Better yet, get your hands dirty and do it yourself. I'm 19 and know this. you should. know this, especially if you're older than me.
