2002 Chevrolet Malibu review from North America
"Good family car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I love my car. However, had brake pads changed twice already. My key less entry system quit working, doors would not unlock, gas gauge quit working. Day lights would not work. Three separate mechanics said it was something wrong with fuel tank. One morning my car was dead. It took forever to get it jumped and charged. This was two months ago. Everything returned to normal. Now my key less entry is not working again. What is causing this? spark plugs and fuses are fine. Any suggestions?
General comments?
The car is reliable. I feel it is comfortable, however with children I just need to get from point A to point B.
