Loved my Impala, but not so much my Malibu. Back door locks work when they want to - dash trim broke (from the heat - right before my eyes) on both sides (about a month apart) where it mounts to dash with screw. Tranny isn't smart enough to gear down at yield signs, and I'm really disappointed with the lack of security I feel trying to pull onto the highway because there's no power in this little 4-cylinder. I work for a used car dealer and I've seen many of these come thru - with broken visors and cheap stereo face - flaking and peeling buttons.

I bought it for the looks, which seems short lived. And I wanted gas efficiency, but not for the cost of security and safety.

I have owned this car 1yr and 4 months. It is been in and out of the dealership service department different 6 times since August 2010.

1ST TIME: Recall(inspect engagement of clip)whatever that was. And to replace passenger side sun visor(mirror cover fell off) 2ND TIME: Drivers sun visor(mirror cover fell off) 3RD TIME: Cruise control not working. Faulty crank sensor, crankshaft position sensor replaced. DID NOT FIX PROBLEM 4TH TIME: Cruise is working intermittent again, brake pressure modulator valve replaced. DID NOT FIX PROBLEM 5TH TIME: Cruise in not working. Brake pedal position sensor replaced. DID NOT FIX PROBLEM 6TH TIME: Water leak drivers side sunroof area. Sunroof drain inspection and cleaning. HOPE THIS FIXES THIS PROBLEM...
