Malibu

  • Automatic transmission

The AC/Heater fan doesn't work until 3 or higher, very annoying sometimes. Haven't looked into fixing it but it seems to be a problem with the Malibu's.

Malibu LS 3.2L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 65,000 miles

Fan speeds will slowly stop working, you have to replace the resistor pack under the dash.

Its a very common problem as the pack overheats and resistors burn up.
