I think at this point it’s safe to say you and Malibus are cursed.

I do not disagree. flip side gonna try to talk dealer into giving us impala to drive while they fix their brand new fucking car... aaaaggghhh he knows I drive a 09 and want to upgrade soon so maybe I can make it work. Have’t driven the current gen so here to hoping!

This is part of why I don’t really have an interest in new cars. Why buy something that could potentially break when new, when I can just buy something that I already know is completely broken.

Sounds like a wheel speed sensor went bad. Electronics can be like that, either they work forever or die an absurdly early death, very little in between.

It’s a Malibu even it doesn’t want to exist.

yeah that’s what I assume as well. Just frustrating to have a new car less than 4 days and it’s already throwing codes and acting poorly..

I will say this issue aside it’s a very nice Malibu. nothing like the past few generations for sure..

except that it still breaks like one.

On the bright side for a warranty repair, they’ll probably put you in a Cruze, which is a nice little car.

It’s cool. I was just trying to bring some levity to what is clearly a crappy situation. I wish I could defend GM, but I can’t. I can only defend the Corvette. Well, and the Roadmaster. I have had issues with almost every major manufacturer and some car I’ve owned from them. Some new, some used, but always something stupid. Oddly enough, the Fiat, renowned for being made of junk, has been more solid than almost anything else I’ve owned. Upside, there’s a warranty to fix things like this. Downside, it shouldn’t have to.

not at this location.. and that would be such a sore point as we could have bought at nice 2015 off lease for the same god damn money.... .gaaaaaa

I’m still hitting my head for pulling the trigger so early on my F30... the same dealer later got a 2015 ATS with a stick shift for 19k, 5 grand lower than mine and 3 years younger. It was sold shortly after.

But then I have red seats, the latter doesn’t.

My brothers 2014 Sonic has been losing coolant since he bought it new. They even “fixed it” once and it still does it.

GM Is incapable of building small cars that don’t suck.

Captain of the Enterprise > itschrome
10/30/2017 at 13:09

Yeah I keep telling him to take it back in because it doesn’t appear to be leaking the coolant because there aren’t any drip marks in his garage. But when he changes his oil it still looks okay. I’m wondering where it’s going or if it is a really slow leak or something. He’s probably going to sell it before his timing belt is up in another 40,000.
