1998 Chevrolet Malibu LS review from North America
"Junk"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The head gasket had to be replaced at 55,000 miles.
The transmission had to be replaced at 60,000.
The brakes are always in need of repair.
The alternator had to be replaced.
The A/C switch had to be replaced... I could go on and on.
The Chevy Malibu is one piece of crap car. I will NEVER buy American again. I've heard too many stories about Hondas and Toyotas that seem to go forever with no problems. I will soon be the owner of a 2008 Honda Accord. I have always bought American, but I have learned my lesson. No more Detroit JUNK.
