2003 Chevrolet Malibu SD review from North America
"Good"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
None, runs great!
General comments?
I read a lot of comments.
I am an auto repairman, by trade and I took notice that all problems with the Chevy Malibu's LS has front brake problems this is due to the anti lock brake system. This is also commin in S10 Blazer's front brakes and any other anti lock brake system. The anti lock as we know has pulsating rear brakes.
And the front brakes take all of the cars foward motion slack witch is 75% of the braking power.
High speed driving causes front brakes to wear faster.
This is only for the LS Models due to the anti lock brakes system.
