1998 Chevrolet Malibu LS review from North America
"Will not reccomend to anyone, will not buy same car, will not buy from GM/Chevy in future"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car started giving problems first with air conditioning. Its would go on
and off of its own without any concern to passengers.
Heating comes up very slow. After 80, 000 miles the pedal vent for hrat/ac seems to shut down completely.
I see coolant warning all the time.
Now my engine light is turned on manual says I must immediately have vehicle inspected. Dealer says people drive with engine light on with their life.
Very expensive to maintain knowing this
my dealer has come up with scheduled payment program for unexpected shootup in bills.
Only good thing is performance.
General comments?
This car does not worth buying.
GM sucks!
