(reported on)

Malibu V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 52,000 miles

Okay - so I just had the oil in the coolant system problem fixed, AND another control panel replaced because the recirculate air button air does freaky stupid things - that ONLY cost me $3000 - NOW the Service Engine Soon light comes on and stays on until I turn the vehicle off. Then I can go a few days and it is fine, and then it pops on again. Anyone know why?? My mechanic wants to replace the starter even though it starts okay, etc, for $300. sigh - I hate this car.... Oh and they reset the computer for me when I had to put it in to have the fuel pressure regulator valve replaced because it was spewing fuel all over my engine.
