2001 Chevrolet Malibu 4 door sedan review from North America
"Do not buy it, ever; it's dangerous and problematic"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This car always has one problem after the next.
First it was shutting down, and the wheel would lock up when I was driving; it's so dangerous having it do this, especially on the freeway.
I had to restart it as it was going.
The alternator has had to be replaced, the radiator has a leak, my air conditioner only works on 5.
And right now I have a massive oil leak, it's coming from everywhere.
If you want a car that's going to give you problem after problem, then this is most definitely the car for you, otherwise I would not buy one.
