2004 Chevrolet Malibu review from North America
"Good"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had to replace the power steering. It will lock up while driving. It is an electric power steering, and so if you shut it off and turn it back on, it will be fine. I feared driving it while this happened because I had no idea when it would lock up.
Have also replaced the steering column 3 times and am looking to replace it again! Thank goodness it is still under the extended warranty, but the dealership can't seem to fix it.
The CD player had to be replaced. Wouldn't play any CDs, and wouldn't spit out my CDs that were already in there.
The buttons on the steering will had to all be fixed. The buttons quit working, ie volume, seek, mute, etc.
I love the car, but if I didn't have the extended warranty, I would think I got a lemon.
