Consumer Description

I BOUGHT MY 2001 MALIBU IN 2003. I HAD NO REAL PROBLEMS TILL THIS YEAR 2009. MY MILEAGE NOW IN 74,000 AND THE PROBLEMS STARTED AT ABOUT 60,000. AFTER A ACCIDENT EVERYTHING STARTED TO GO. MY GAS GAUGE WENT DOWN AND MY TEMP GAUGE ALSO. MY AUTO LOCK FOR MY DOORS WAS NOT WORKING. MY AIR VENTS ONLY WORK WHEN THEY KNOB IS ON 3.MAIN FUSE BOX HAS MAJOR ISSUES AND THE WATER PUMP WENT OUT AND COST $2300.00 AND NEEDS A $500.00 SERVICE FOR THE MAIN FUSE BOX. WATER PUMP WAS REPLACED ALSO 2005. COST ABOUT $600.00 THEN. I WISH SOMEONE WOULD HAVE POINTED THESE PROBLEMS BEFORE. GM NEEDS TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE; ESPECIALLY AFTER TAKING MORE MONEY FROM THE TAX PAYERS FOR THEIR MISMANAGEMENT. I LOVE MY MALIBU BUT GM BETTER GET ON THE STICK AND HELP THE ONES WHO HAVE THIS DEFECTIVE 2001 MALIBU. *TR
