  graet car at 72000miles - 1999 Chevrolet Malibu
  By OK HAPPY CAMPER - January 10 - 2:00 am

  I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE LIGHTS IT UNDER A 10$ FIX!!! BUY NEW BOARDS THAT HOLD THE BULBS AND DONT USE CHEAP BULBS!!! THE BRAKE PROBLEM HAS NOT HAPPENED TO ME. I HAD THEM REPLACED AT 40,000 MILES STILL GOING STRONG. I HAVE REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR ONCE AT 35,000 MILES.OVER ALL AN OK CAR FOR THE MONEY.

  I love my Malibu - 1999 Chevrolet Malibu
  By jacksobm - December 30 - 2:00 am

  Ive only had my Malibu for 5 months but I love it! I have never had any problems with it. The brakes had to be replaced but the dealer did that since it was still under warranty. Other than that it has be a wonderful car!

  Problems with Malibu - 1999 Chevrolet Malibu
  By aliall - December 23 - 2:00 am

  Apparently these cars are known to have problems with their manifold intake gaskets. Ours went out at 41000 miles and will cost $1000-1200 to replace. The AC/heater fan also doesnt work on settings 1 and 2 and the seatbelts have broken. All in all a bad experience with the quality and reliability

  99 Malibu 4 years later - 1999 Chevrolet Malibu
  By Glenn Sieja - December 22 - 2:00 am

  Our Malibu has not been very reliable. Most of the problems were covered under warranty. However, poor front brake and front suspension design continue to be a problem. Fuel capacity is very small and is a huge inconvenience. Dont expect much on the trade in!

  avoid like the plague - 1999 Chevrolet Malibu
  By jrrbznsn - November 19 - 2:00 am

  Brakes are bad. Worn out rotors too soon - weaqring out again. GNM dealers do not do required repairs until after warranty expires. GM does not care if some one dies.

  Whats up with the brake lights - 1999 Chevrolet Malibu
  By Brian&Ashley - November 1 - 2:00 am

  I love this car to death, the only things I wish they would change are similar to most peoples complaints. I wish they would hide the change compartment, I had my window broken out for 1 dollar. The only other thing I would like to see fixed is the brake lights....my right brake light burns out within 20 minutes of replacing it. Ive put 10 bulbs in there, and have attempted to trace the problem back to the source, and am not finding anything. Everything else has been good with this car. Very reliable, and very nice. Ive only had 1 breakdown, and that was the alternator at 60000 miles, not too bad in my opinion

  Big timebrake problems, $$$$$$$$$ - 1999 Chevrolet Malibu
  By Wesley R. - October 24 - 10:00 am

  I had to ship this one. It was bad. Right fron spinde would not allow for the mounting of the spare. Any spare would run on the calipers. Went through brake pads & rotors like a movie theater through popcorn. Rear shooes did last almost 30k. Pads every 5 or 6 k, rotors at 8-10k. It is the only time I knowingly traded in a vehicle with problems.

  Tickedoffowner - 1999 Chevrolet Malibu
  By tickedoff - October 23 - 2:00 am

  In the last 4 years/32k miles Ive been thru 3 sets of brake pads and rotors. Ive had a hole in the wind shield wiper fluid reservoir. The temp gauge is bad. The intake maifold gasket died in Feb 03. And most recently/today I had a new resistor installed becuase the low speeds on the heater/ac were not working. Oh yeah I also have put on 4 new tires. Needless to say I will not be buying another Malibu!!!

  Dear Lord! - 1999 Chevrolet Malibu
  By JaneLane504 - October 8 - 2:00 am

  Yes indded, breaks seem to be changed every 6,000 miles on the dot. Almost as much as an oil change! Living in Louisiana, and having a car with a A/C that seems to have a mind of its own, is nothing short of depressing. On hot days, it will kick off and blow out hot air, even when i turn it all the way on high. And even chevorlet dealerships cant ,and wont explain to me why it does this. Brakes have been replaced almost five times and rotors twice, the boots once. I have changed my altenator once, which wasnt that bad since i have over 100k miles..

  Dont ever buy a malibu - 1999 Chevrolet Malibu
  By sgr_girl - October 7 - 2:00 am

  Ive had my Malibu for 3 years. It started off as a good little car for me, but not too long after I started noticing problems. My A/C had broken, no air blew out on 1 and 2 and was real high on 3. I had to get the brakes done 3 times, replaced twice and fixed on the third. Not to mention theyre starting to squeak, again, luckily Im getting a new car next week. I wont ever buy a Malibu again.
