Used Chevrolet Malibu for Sale in Murfreesboro, TN

I purchased this car because I wanted something affordable that was decent on gas mileage. My first impression was good, and I was happy when I took the car home. That was about as long as the happiness lasted. The second day I had the car, I needed to replace the battery. No huge deal, but then I learned the connecting lead from the alternator was worn out so badly that it was arching a current. So I had to replace this as well. Two months later when the weather cooled down, I found out the heater didn't work. When I went to replace the thermostat, I found to my utter delight that it wasn't even there!! So far I chalked all of this up to a bad used car dealer. However, when I replaced the thermostat, I instantly found out the car was leaking from the intake gasket. Having that replaced was expensive in parts, but luckily, I knew of a mechanic school that was local that did the work for free. It took a long time to get it done but it was done. This was only the start of problems I had with the car over the three years I owned it. It never really improved.

This car has been horrible. First my brake lights would reverse, meaning when I wasn't braking they would be on and when I was they would turn off! Huge safety issue. Then the ECM started going crazy. I took it to several repair shops and no one has been able to repair it. It randomly throws up codes, won't shift out of first, won't start, and my speedometer starts flipping out. Now it is doing this new thing where it reads that it is -17 degrees outside (in July in Tennessee). Since the car thinks it's -17, my air conditioner won't cool. I've replaced so many parts hoping to fix the issue to no avail. I'm disappointed because I've researched online where so many people are having this same problem. Chevy refuses to address the situation. Now, the car is making a loud, alarming sound when I start it, it won't go out of first anyway, so it's basically useless. I've pour all this money into a car that is unfix-able. I would never recommend this car, or even another Chevy, to anyone. There has just been too many issues swept under the rug and not addressed. I would give the Chevy Malibu a 0 out of 10 for reliability.
