2002 Chevrolet Malibu LX review from North America
"Nice car, but unreliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The anti-theft light comes on, and shortly afterwards, the car will not start. This has happened multiple times and results in a tow to the dealership for repairs.
General comments?
The Malibu is a very nice car, that handles well and is comfortable to drive.
Other than the very annoying problem of having the car not start every once in a while, I have had no other major equipment failures.
This one problem supercedes all the good points that the car offers, as I now have no faith that it will start when I put the key in the ignition.
The extended warranty covers mosts of the cost, but does not take care of the aggravation of not being able to start the car.
