1998 CHEVROLET MALIBU Complaints

I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR. AT 3,000 MILES I HAD TO HAVE THE ENGINE REPLACED. THE FRONT HEADLIGHT, CONTROL PANEL FOR THE WINDOWS, THE PHONE JACK, THE BRAKES RESERVICED BECAUSE THEY WOULDN'T REPLACE THEM AT 14,000, THEN AGAIN AT 28,000 THE BRAKES ARE ACTING UP AGAIN. PLEASE HELP THANK YOU PATRICIA ROBINSON. *AK

REPAIRS TO VEHICLE STARTED 6-29-98 AND CONTINUE TO PRESENT. DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPT. CAN REPAIR REAR SUSPENSION PER GM TECH. NOTES BUT PROBLEM NOISE IN REAR SUSPENSION REOCCURS WITHIN 50-300 MILES. GM HAS STATED THAT THEY WILL REPAIR VEHCILE UNDER ORIGINAL WARRANTY AGREEMENT, BUT AFTER 10 REPAIRS I FEEL THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE VEHICLE AND NOT JUST THE PARTS. *AK

I HAVE HAD THE FRONT BRAKE ROTORS REPLACED ON MY '98 MALIBU 4 TIMES IN 20,000 MILES, YET THE DEALERSHIP DENIES THAT THERE IS ANY PROBLEM WHATSOEVER WITH THE CAR OR ITS PARTS. GM SHOULD HAVE TO BUY BACK ALL OF THE CHEVY MALIBUS THAT HAVE DEFECTIVE BRAKE ROTORS. IT'S A CRIME. *AK

VEHICLE INVOLVED IN A COLLISION. VEHICLE LOST CONTROL AND HIT A PHONE POLE, AND ROLLED OVER. BOTH AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. DEALER NOTIFIED. *AK

THE DAY AFTER BUYING THIS CAR, I REPORTED TO THE DEALORSHIP THAT THE BRAKES WERE SQUEALING AND RUBBING. THE PADS WERE MAKING NOISE WHENEVER I COME TO A STOP. I WAS TOLD IT WAS BECAUSE METALLIC BRAKES WEAR OUT VERY FAST. ROTORS AND PADS SEEM TO BE WARPED. THIS NOISE CANNOT BE NORMAL. WHAT CAN BE DONE. THE DEALORSHIP SEEMS TO FEEL THAT THIS IS NORMAL. THEY MAKE NOISE AND SQUEAL ALL THE TIME. *AK

WHEN DRIVING AND APPLYING BRAKES VEHICLE STARTED TO SHAKE AND MAKE A SQUEAKING NOISE. IT STARTED TO PULSATE WHEN DRIVER APPLIED BRAKES. DRIVER STATED THAT SHE WOULD BE DRIVING THE SPEED OF 320- TO 25 MPH . *AK

I HAVE BEEN TO 2 CHEVROLET DEALERS FOR SERVICE ON MY CAR. SO FAR MY ROTORS HAVE BEEN SERVICED 5 TIMES. I WOULD LOVE TO ACTUALLY HAVE MY CAR FIXED. I REFUSE TO PAY FOR THIS WHEN MY WARRANTY RUNS OUT. I FEEL CHEVROLET SHOULD HAVE TO DO SOMETHING WITH MY VEHICLE . ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANK YOU. *AK

THE METAL ON THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS SHEARED OFF, AND CAUSING WINDSHIELD WIPERS TO BE INOPERATIVE IN RAINY WEATHER. DEALER HAS NOT SEEN VEHICLE. *AK

I AM SO NOT SATISFIED WITH THIS VEHICLE EVERY TIME I TURN AROUND, SOMETHING DIFFERENT IS GOING WRONG. I DON'T KNOW WHERE ELSE TO TURN. I SURE WOULD LOVE FOR GMC TO BUY THIS PIECE OF JUNK CAR BACK. IT IS REALLY BAD WHEN YOU HAVE A NEW CAR AND IT WON'T RUN!! THE FIRST TIME IT WAS IN WAS FOR IT NOT STARTING, THAT HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 15-20 TIMES. THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE CAR. THEY HAVE REPLACED THE WINDSHIELD 3 TIMES BECAUSE IT LEAKED AIR. STILL DOES! THE HEADLIGHTS HAVE CONDENSATION INSIDE OF THEM, MAKES VISIBILITY BAD AT NIGHT. HELP! *AK

HEAVY VIBRATION IN FRONT END WHEN BRAKES APPLIED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. ALSO UNEVEN STOPPING AT SLOWER SPEEDS. DEALER NOT CONTACTED. *AK
