OK, here's my story... I just bought a 2000 Chevy Malibu LS from a used car dealer, and as soon as I drove it off the lot, it started sputtering, leading to the "tune up", the sputtering has stopped, however the brake calipers on both sides of the front need to be replaced, got an estimate $464.36! There's some kind of noise coming from the rear end like the shocks are going bad or something of that nature!
Driving home tonight, the "ABS and the "CHECK ENGINE" lights came on, the air switch as stated from a "lot" of other people only works on 3-4! Also the air comes through all vents instead of where you have the setting on! The power window switch works when it wants to... the 2 rear windows move slow like the motors are about to go out..I've only had the car for 3 weeks, I'm in collage and hold 2 jobs... it's very hard for me to get the money to fix this car, I just sold a 1990 Toyota Corolla with less miles, and I didn't have a single problem with it... the whole time I've owned it... so any suggestions on what to do to correct these problems, please let me know...

Wow, reading all the comments is pretty interesting. I have a 2000 Malibu and have had it for about 6 years. About 4 years ago I had to replace the engine and tranny. I have pretty much experienced everything listed at least once.
I have had to replace the fuel pump twice.
My air only works on 3-4 for the settings.
Half my lights don't work on my stereo, and actually only a few stations.
The check engine light is on all the time, along with the ABS light.
The blinkers only work when they want, and make a loud squeak noise.
We are now having problems with it overheating, trying to change the thermostat and it's such a tight place to get to.
We have to change the brakes about every 6 months.
The shocks have always been bad.
I have called about the dipstick to check the tranny fluid, and was told there wasn't one. The list could go on and on.
One thing I can't tell you is if I had a different car, would I have a lot of the same problems???
