2000 Chevrolet Malibu review from North America
"Enough bang for the buck"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have the same problem others have listed with the A/C not working on one or two.
I have also had the problem with the turn signals not working properly. However I learned how to fix it.
The reason you can 'fix' the problem by hitting your hazard light switch forcefully is because that switch is where your problem lies.
The four way light switch goes bad and then it throws off your turn signals.
Just have your four way (hazard light) switch replaced and your turn signals will never just 'give out' on you again!
General comments?
Overall I cannot complain about the car, especially since it is my first.
I have taken 3 road trips (total miles 3000) this summer alone and the car has driven beautifully on the open road each time.
The small glitches however can add up to costly repair bills.
