Consumer Description

36000 MILES PLUS....EVER SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR. WAS SEARCHING THE WEB AND FOUND THIS SITE SO I DECIDED TO ADD MY TWO CENTS WORTH ABOUT MY MALIBU. REPLACED FRONT BRAKES (DRIVERS SIDE 3 TIMES - DUE TO CALIPER) AND ROTOR TWICE. ENGINE GASKET PROBLEM - OVERHEATING. STILL HAVE PROBLEM WITH FAN MOTOR CONTROL SETTINGS 1 AND 2. ENGINE MISFIRING - HAD INJECTORS CLEANED TWICE AND REPLACED ENTIRE IGNITION SYSTEM. HAVE A RATTLE IN THE FRONT FOR THE LAST 20000 MILES. CAR HAS FAILED TO START AROUND 8 TIMES. ENGINE HAS DIED MULTIPLE TIMES AFTER STARTING AND SOMETIMES WHILE IN MOTION. ABS LIGHT AND BRAKE LIGHT PROBLEM. THEFT SYSTEM LIGHT OCCASSIONALLY LIGHTS UP. LOOKING FORWARD TO A CLASS ACTION SUIT. WOULD RATHER SETTLE FOR AN ADMISSION BY CHEVROLET/GM AND COMPENSATION FOR SOME REPLACEMENT PARTS AND LABOR. THIS IS THE WORST GM PRODUCT I'VE EVER OWNED AND DUE TO THE OTHER COMPLAINTS I'VE READ ON THE INTERNET, THIS VOLUME OF COMPLAINTS IS WAY TO HIGH. *AK
