1999 Chevrolet Malibu Engine cooling Problems

“. I bought car new. The rotors, calipers and brake pads on this car have been replaced 4 times. The passenger side tail lights have had to be replaced every year due to water getting into the assembly. The AC switch - blower resistor has had to be replaced. The first time I replaced the rotors - it only had 5000 miles on it. It has 61000 today.”

“I have a 1999 chev Malibu and yes the intake manifold is failing. I have had this replaced by the dealer twice. Gm apparently knows about this problem for using shotty parts and they refuse to step up and fix it. I am formally complaining to the bbb GM itself and anyone else I can think of. Gm chevy stands for junk”

“1999 Malibu with enging cooling problems and fan does not work on position 1 and 2. Had to have intake gasket replaced and one month later entire engine went out and had to be replaced. I really like my Malibu, but hate the problems that I have had. I, too, have had brake problems and coolant leakage problems.”

“The intake manifold gasket fails. The dexcool coolant leaked into the oil. The bearings on the gasket are damaged. I was told that I really need a new engine, but that I could try replacing the gasket, but there are no guarantee that will work. I understand this is a common problem for most GM cars from that time frame and starting around 40,000 and that GM has even made a new part finding the original deficient.”

“I have had my rotors reground numerous times over the past one and a half years as well as have had both bearings replaced in the front. I had all valves replaced on the coolant system and it continues to leak still. There is a strong oder that comes in through the airconditioning vents. There is also a strong vibration when braking or traveling at higher speeds which makes the vehicle difficult to control.”
