I have a 1999 Chevy Malibu, while under warranty I had taken the vehicle in, at the least... 4 times for rattling on the front end, as well as some other issues. Service Dept here could not find anything... Does'nt surprise me!
The Chevy Malibu at under 47100 miles has had the following go wrong... Lower and Upper Intake Valve/Gasket cost of repair $735.00, Front Tire Rod need replaced estimate at $200.00 on the lowend (could this be the rattling!!!) Battery corrosion, clean tray, replace cables $95.00,
Altenator replaced $354.34.
I'd like to know if there is any type of reimbursement from GM for these repairs.
This is extremely unusual for a Chevy Product, especially at this low mileage. Also had the repairs done outside of the dealer due to the dealers written estimate was more than double of what I stated above. I have a Chevy S10 1998 as well, was really glad to hear someone else did'nt receive the recall on the wiper motor, because I have the same problem... Can we use that recall notice?
My truck has over 90000 miles on it... I know its a Chevy because the only replacement on it has been normal wear and tear (battery, it also corroded) The Malibu, however I wonder if Ford stuck the Chevy decal on one of their products... Never have I been so disappointed in a Chevy product... So I ask... Is this really a Chevy???
