2000 Chevrolet Malibu review from North America
"Piece of Junk!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Where to start:
Brake rotors warped
Water Pump failed
Blinkers short out and don't work off and on
Blower motor does not work on settings 1-2
Blower Motor failed
Massive rattling under the front of the car, have not found yet.
Bad seal on right side of wind shield, excessive wind noise while moving.
Key cylinder wore out, have to struggle to get the key to start the car.
Rear speakers went in the first year.
Coolant disappears, but I can't ever see any on the ground!?
General comments?
This is THE worst car I have ever owned.
Stay away from these things as they will nickel and dime you into being homeless.
I have owned several other cars including from Nissan, Ford, and Dodge. None have ever been the pile of crap this Mailbu is!
