ANTIFREEZE USED IN OUR 2000 MALIBU HAS BEEN FOUND TO FREQUENTLY CAUSE DETERIORATION AND FAILURE OF THE INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET. THERE HVE BEEN MANY CASES SITED ON THE INTERNET WITH NAMES AND SPECIFICS AND CHEVY/GMC REFUSES TO ADMIT IT IS THE ANTIFREEZE. THEY TOLD ME LAST NIGHT IT HAS TO DO WITH THE PLANT WHERE THE CAR WAS MADE.*AK

SUSPENSION:FRONT
WHEN DRIVING THE CAR UPON PUTTING ON THE BRAKES THE CAR SHAKES AND VIBRATES. SOMETIMES IT IS VIOLENT ENOUGH THAT IT IS HARD TO CONTROL. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES. I HAVE HAD THE CAR FIXED TWICE AND WAITING FOR AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE IT FIXED AGAIN. THE LIGHTS ALSO GO DIM WHEN YOU ROLL THE WINDOWS DOWN. THIS WAS A PROGRAM CAR WHEN WE PURCHASED IT. I NEED A DEPENDABLE CAR FOR ME AND MY FAMILY. SOMETHING THAT I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THIS CAR IS.
