(reported on)

Malibu LS V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 10,000 miles

Brakes were noisy from the time I got the car (not to noisy) and got worse as it got mileage. Replace pads and rotor on the left front two times in under 10,000 miles before the problem was corrected - no warranty on these parts.

(reported on)

Malibu 3.2L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 60,000 miles

I've had the brakes replaced and was told that it was told that the old brakes were not the cause. The sound is still there after new brakes and it's louder than ever. I'm really starting to hate this car. I've already fixed a lot and put more money in than it's worth.
