2001 Chevrolet Malibu review from North America
"Has been a royal pain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The main problem has been the ABS light coming on resulting in the wheel and hub assembly in the two front wheels having to be replaced a total of 5 times. This has been covered under extended warranty up until 75,000 (other than the deductible) but there is no way I will keep the car past that.
Brakes AND ROTORS have also had to be replaced more frequently than any other vehicle I have ever owned.
General comments?
Unloading as soon as 75000 hits the odometer.
