2001 Chevrolet Malibu review from North America
"A poorly constructed car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Headlight assembly filled with water.
Taillights went out. I had to take the car to the dealership several times to them to correct all of the problems.
Extreme amount of rattles. The dealership had to address this issue also.
Brakes were grinding.
Engine was missing. It is in the shop for the second time for this.
General comments?
While the people at the dealership are polite, they have not demonstrated any capacity to fix the car the first time I bring it in.
This car is only a year old and I took it to the shop for the 6th time today.
