2002 Chevrolet Malibu LS review from North America
"No comment"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Brakes and more brakes.
Have brought vehicle in at least 5 times since owned with concerns on bad pulsations and steering wheel shakes. Dealerships machined rotors 4 different times and replaced pads and rotors once at about 32000 kms.
They now tell me that I have to replace my rotors and pads after about 32000 kms of highway driving (they say that there is about 10% left on the front and 80 % on the rear) This tells me that there is a problem with the front brakes (possibly calipers sticking or something)
General comments?
GMC says that they have covered my concerns while under warranty and I will have to have repairs done at my cost.
Think I will be buying an import next time.
