This automobile was in for service on 11/23/01 for transmission leak and all gaskets & seals replaced. I had in for service on 8/5/02 for $1146 worth of work on various parts. I reported that vehicle lost power on highway but fuel pump was replaced for that problem.

When the transmission went bad it would not shift into first gear,mechanic said the transmission was almost out of its case. They also said they had 2 other Malibus,same year, with the same problem. All 4 tires were replaced in January by len stoler. They were also supposed to fix the problem in the left front tire, but it has since reoccurred. They robbed me of about $900 and were very rude about the situation. Therefore I took the car to a transmission specialist to repair the transmission problem. I have not gotten the steering problem fixed yet.

Although my chevorlet Malibu is only 2 years old. My transmission is shot. I have reported brake problems to the dealer three times. They checked it twice, told me there was nothing wrong. I can hardly stop my car. The rear [r] brake light has been fixed twice in two months due to a leak and wire shorts. However there is still a problem.
