1998 Chevrolet Malibu review from North America
"A piece of Junk"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Brakes and rotors have been replaced 4 times in 3 years.
The car shaked violently when trying to stop.
The recall on the rack and pinion, has left my front end loose and I had it repaired.
Anti-theft system engages, leaving me stranded, even after I replaced it 2 times.
Horn will go off when parked when it is cold out.
Door locks and window locks do not work half of the time.
Radio went out for 3 months.
Coolant leaks.
Fan motor does not work on the 1, 2 settings.
Heat does not work well.
I know that there are more things wrong with it, but cannot think of them at this time.
General comments?
I never knew that there were so many people out there that had the SAME problems as I am having.
When I bought the car, no one informed me that there were defects such as this, and I checked out the car thoroughly before purchasing it.
