problem #3

Malibu ES V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 160,000 miles

This has actually been an ongoing issue since last winter. I wouldn't complain if this were the only issue, but this car has had many. From what I've read, attempting to repair this on my own,(which is what I normally do), would be ridiculously difficult. Between the breaks, the starter, the fuel filter,(a whole other recurring issue), and the coolant gasket, I would never buy a chevy again.

Malibu LS V6

Ever since I bought this damn car, it has ran like sh*t... The car doesnt like going up hills at all... Now the car is over heating every 5 minutes, my heater is blowing cold air, the belt squills like a 5 year old girl who wants candy but mommy said no and the freaking car always has a funky sound coming from the engine... WTF
