problem #3

Jun 012018

Malibu LTZ 3.21 V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 158,000 miles

Third time to get control arm fixed and new tires / alignment. Now in November, 2018 I had new tires put on and oil change and was told lower control arm on passenger side is 7/10 rated as bad (this will be FOURTH TIME). I'm so fed up with the issue on my Malibu. I do not understand what is going on and why I have now spent $2400 getting control arms!!!!

Again, bad alignment. Tires went bad and found out another control arm broken. Fixed AGAIN and had new tires put on and alignment done. I only drive on HWY not off-road or rough riding.

Malibu LS 2.4L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 100,000 miles

Replaced the control arm after finding out it was cracked after a routine visit for an oil change. I do not drive "rough" with this vehicle to have issues such as this as it is only a few years old.
