1999 Malibu with enging cooling problems and fan does not work on position 1 and 2. had to have intake gasket replaced and one month later entire engine went out and had to be replaced. I really like my Malibu, but hate the problems that I have had. I, too, have had brake problems and coolant leakage problems.
