problem #1

(reported on)

Malibu LS 3.5L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 36,200 miles

After a few months of owning the car, the back seat levers (to adjust recline and lower back seat) cracked. Had to buy them from an aftermarket company. The other rear seat handle is starting to show wear. I just keep finding poor quality plastic components throughout the car. May have over 38,000 miles, but it is only a little over 2 years old. Does not get abused and rarely carries passengers or kids. Imagine if I really put this car through some real world usage.
