There has been a failure to the fuel system several different occasions. Fuel regulator has been replaced 3 different times. A fuel pump was purchased 300$ to replace old one. The right tail light has been bogging on and off almost caused several different accidents. I would like to know if I can sell this vehicle or get what I paid for it atleast? I shall take further legal action until something is done.

I went outside to start my 2001 Chevy Malibu and it wouldn't start. So I had it towed to mechanics they kept my car for a week. They could find a trouble code to find out what cased the problem of the anti theft system to go on. I use the same key everyday no one there to steal the car. So now my light stay on all the time an I learned how to program the code myself this way I don't have to pay every time it don't start. All so my turn signals stop working sometimes I never took it to get fix because I learned that if you push the hazard lights they will work again.

This concerns the quality of a 2001 Malibu purchased new. This car has had a new engine, two ignition systems, two brake jobs, and now a major coolant leak that is to cost over $800 to repair. It has had two sets of tiresand the vehicle only has 40,000 miles on it. It has had turn signal problems, injector fuel problems, and emergency light switch problems. In other words the cost of operation is more than the car payment per month. The quality of this vehicle ranks as a lemon.
