2000 Chevrolet Malibu LS review from North America
"Unreliable Car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At 58,000 Ks, the front seats of the suspension became noisy. When I brought the car to the dealer, they refused to replace it under warranty. I was being told to call GM as the car was only 38 months old and the warranty has expired (36 Months).
Of Course,GM Customer Service in Oshawa refused to repair the defective parts and always blame the customer.The repair costs almost 750.00$
You need to replace the Front Brakes every 20,000 Ks.
Air Con keeps breaking every year and it cost you 60.00$ to fill up the refrigerant every year.
General comments?
I liked the car but GM has consistently put on the market unreliable products on the market. No doubt why they keep loosing customers and keep loosing market shares every year to foreign Manufacturer's.
