2004 Chevrolet Malibu LS review from North America
"Good Car for the money!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
It started with a steering problem when I first drove it home.
I have had a relay switch replaced for the temperature-gauge.
Thirdly, due to the steering problem, the steering column has been replaced.
Fourth, my key-less entry remotes will not work intermittently.
Lastly, the check engine cap light came on with no fault of the cap.
General comments?
Upon my first test drive, I truly preferred this vehicle over its competitors: Pontiac, Oldsmobile, and even the lower end Chevy, such as Cavalier.
The handling is great and superb around corners.
The power is wonderful for the size of the car and the class it is in.
This is an under-rated vehicle by Chevy.
Even with the problems I have had, I would still recommend because I understand every so often cars come with problems.
