Malibu 3.1L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 180,000 miles

No heat in one of the worst winters I have seen in Kansas really sucks. Driving to work in the morning when its 5 degrees outside is very cold. We had to take out the seats to take out the center console to take out the whole dash board to even get to the heater core. The part would have cost more but my dad was able to haggle the parts guy down every where else I had called they quoted me between $90-103. And this is just the latest in a long line of ever growing issues with the car.
