The sensors went out on the car.
The brakes are horrible.
My intake gasket leaks.
I wish I had read the reviews for this car before I made a purchase. The car started out working like a dream, but as soon as my warranty was over the nightmare began. It seems as if something major would go wrong with this car every other month. The brakes alone cost a fortune to have fixed, and why was I not informed that the malibu is notorious for a leaking gasket?!?! Needless to say I will never buy another malibu as long as I live.
Just had my car in for blown head gasket. I have 80,000 kilometers on it Cost me almost $2400 (with tax) at the dealers. To date I have spent Canadian $ 5500 on this car. Do not think I will buy another GM car. They probably will not be around when it is time for me to buy another car as I tend to keep them for a long time. Brakes have been another problem.
My 2002 intake manifold gasket was replaced by GM out of warranty with more than 100,000km - you just have to make a lot of noise and threaten legal action and they will pay the entire cost. The car now has over 150,000km and no problems with the drivetrain since. There were issues with the fuel pump, blower motor resistor and turn signal relay - 2/3 were replaced under "goodwill" as well.
