2001 Chevrolet Malibu LS review from North America
"It has been fairly reliable until now"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The air switch controls 1 & 2 do not work.
The front seat padding disintegrated and I only weigh 185 lbs.
The fuel pump and the relay went out.
And the car won't start if the tank is below quarter tank with the nose pointed up hill (typical with GM cars, my Corsica did the same thing).
The manifold gasket blew out at 100000 miles.
The turning signal doesn't work if the air cond. is on.
General comments?
In general the car hasn't been too bad. Most of the miles are highway miles and it has done OK for a Chevy.
The seats are very uncomfortable.
