Thank You, toghogĬ ® is an online automotive complaint resource that uses graphs to show automotive defect patterns, based on complaint data submitted by visitors to the site. I would also like to be included into the CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. It is a poor state of affairs when we can no longer manufacture a decent dependable affordable automobile. At least they hold up and they hold there valve better than anything American. I am middle aged and have never owned anything but GM's But from now on I will be buying Japanese. My car is over 5 yrs old but under 50000 mi drivetrain, so I am stuck with a large repair bill when It has to be done. It is no wonder they are closing down plants all over the USA. I am very shocked that Chevrolet would use such cheap measures on a golden bread and butter product. ![]() I seem to think that the sensor is shot and will probably change first. I check oil all the time,because I change it myself and there is no water in oil.so coolant must be leaking elsewhere (not on driveway either).I just wish light would go out. car seemed fine for the next couple of yrs and then all of a sudden the coolant light keeps coming on.When it does I only add a very little bit ,maybe a half pint of dex cool but light stays on. I wish they had contacted me first before clogging up my coolant system with some sort of GOO!!Well. Right now I have only 33000 mi on the car.about 3 yrs ago it was in for service and at the time I was told there was a recall on the steering and the intake manifold gaskets.At this time they fixed both.They replaced a steering part and they changed some intake bolts and added some sort of pellets to stop a potential leak. Had it for a little while and wife used it to go back and forth to work 1/2 mi each way. :/ Thank you for reading this, I hope it isn't too confusing! God Bless!! Please help if anyone can shed any light at all on these issues, more and more problems just keep popping up on this car everyday. I am terrified it will leave my 4 year old son and I stranded somewhere or just stop working one day soon. Does anyone know if these issues tie into each other? I absolutely cannot afford to take it to a shop and it is my only transportation. The low coolant light popped on last night and I added coolant and then this morning, the air (changed filter last night) is blowing hot to cold and the low coolant light is on again. Ok, so then my air was not blowing out hard at all and it gets very hot in NC so I changed my air filter, which had a lot of cotton on top of it (?) and a dirty filter, and blows out harder. Two weeks ago the transmission started to shift hard on and off (if I drove 4 times that day, will shift hard 2 times out of the 4 small trips). So, around a month ago the check engine light came on reading a "exhaust gas" code? Something like that, I was told, I could still drive it but eventually need to get it fixed. The car has been great for me, but always had electrical issues as long as I can remember (lights on saying "trunk open" "Door open" stuff like that). I inherited this car from my mother who passed two years ago, she was the only owner. Animals love its sweet taste, so even a spilling a small amount on your garage floor can end up in the dog's stomach pretty quickly.I need serious help, I'm not too sure what else to do, I hope writing this may bring me some clarity. Promptly wipe up any spilled fluid as it is highly toxic. Always wear safety goggles when working on your Malibu. Removing the coolant reservoir cap on a warm engine could cause the cap to fly off at a high rate of speed and fluid to spray out of the reservoir. These coolants will typically say 50/50 or pre-mixed on the front of the coolant bottle. Some coolants will come premixed-that is, you don't need to add any water. Mix the coolant / antifreeze with distilled water so that you have a combination of 50% coolant and 50% water. Be sure to check your owners manual to determine the correct type of fluid to add - for Chevrolets, it will typically be in a section titled Fluid Capacities in the back of your manual. The video above shows you where the coolant reservoir in your Malibu is located and how to add coolant / antifreeze. Make sure to check your engine when it is cold for an accurate reading. Engine coolant / antifreeze circulates through your engine to keep it cool in the summer but won't freeze in the winter. Adding engine coolant (also known as antifreeze) to your 2001 Chevrolet Malibu is pretty easy. ![]()
