1998 Chevrolet Malibu Sedan review from North America
"Some times I like my car, but other times I just want to drive it over a cliff"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Where to start...
On the VERY first day that I got my car while driving home from the dealership, the windshield wiper arm broke, during the biggest rain storm I have seen in a long time.
Both my wheel bearings went out twice.
When I had my tires changed I found out that my wheel was cracked.
I have replaced my brakes, roters, and all that good stuff 4 times since I got the car.
Now my Cataletic Converter has fallen off and my poor little car sound like a great big diesel truck.
The front seats can't be moved without stopping the car first.
The driver side window rolls down just fine, but getting it back up is another job.
My car battery died and when I tried to jump my car, the car alarm that I don't have decided to go off.
General comments?
Okay, I'm an 18 year old high school graduate, working 2 jobs. I make good money, but I never see it, but the repair man does...
Don't get my wrong I can't talk too bad about my car... she can go, and she has got me from point A to point B, that is when its not in the shop.
