Three problems related to body have been reported for the 1998 Chevrolet Malibu. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Left cup holder unstable. As the result it toppled over and spilled the coffee on the driver. Yh.
A frame in process of being replaced again June 9, 1999 for the second time. Major vibrations in front end of car. Bezels replaced. Cup holder replaced. Bumper peeling - dealer will not fix. Front of dash plastic had to be replaced-broke. Console lid cover replaced. I would not recommend this car to any person. Even the general motors technicians state this is the worst car for problems. It took almost six months to get the a/c switch replaced. It kept turning itself off and could not get back on. Finally 06/05/99 it quit all together. They put in a relay switch. This car is a big disappointment for the people who remember the old Malibus.
Rain leaks in trunk.
