2001 Chevrolet Malibu review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I bought the car I smelled acid, dealership found out the battery was leaking acid. The temp gauge always go to the last white mark before going into the danger area (red), I was told that I had to run the AC or fan all times while in the vehicle.
I went out one evening and the car was dead no power what so ever. Now I had no lights on the back everything went out. I changed all the bulbs, but still have no brake lights. There is a funny noise in the steering wheel I got it to the dealership and they said they couldn't find anything, needless to say it is still there. I have also had trouble with the brakes, you are at the stop light with your foot on the brake petal and the car still rolls. Just so so many problem- I will not own a GM again problems.
General comments?
Car is slow and hesitants constantly, carpets wore out before 2 years old.
