I bought my 1997 Malibu 3.1 New. I have had the key chain fix, and leaking gasket problem 60,000 miles around 73,000 put in used tranny. Now 2016 Dec 28 had my next leak gasket fixed. I really like my auto and feel sad that it has too many problems, My first new car was 1968 Olds Delta no problem 1977 Chev Monte drove it out no problem. Next a 1983 Delta Olds I had it when I retired bought the 1997 Malibu had problems.
