Replying to: ksjmom (Jun 22, 2006 12:06 pm) Have you tried turing the key without starting for upto 30 minutes to see if light will reset? I have had problems with my passlock, but mostly with the key not turning at all.
#4814 of 4908 Block heater by shadow5599 Nov 15, 2006 (8:28 pm)
It's that time of year here (COLD) so I went looking for the block heater cord. It hasnt been used yet and I found it to have a thermostat controlled AC plug which says it only turns on below -18C. I normally run the block heater from about -5C and below when parked at work. I've never seen one of these types of cords. All I've ever seen is a regular AC plug that powers the block heater when it's connected to AC power.   Now I'm thinking to cut it off and put on a regular plug.

To bad it's built by GM, I've had so many problems with my present(2004) Malibu, that in 2008 when I'm ready for a new vehicle I'm looking at Honda (again), Toyota or Nissan, sorry Ford and Chrysler (you guys still say 1970's built in America).

Replying to: rpcohen1 (Jan 07, 2007 5:37 am) Don't forget to look at the Sonata. Money savings and loads of standard features. Replies to this message: pao (Jan 11, 2007 3:14 pm) shadow5599 (Jan 25, 2007 8:55 am)

Replying to: craigbrooks (Jan 09, 2007 10:35 am) but be careful of the scheduled maintenance costs.....they are considerable as compared to GMs Replies to this message: shadow5599 (Jan 25, 2007 8:55 am)

Replying to: pao (Jan 11, 2007 3:14 pm) Used to be I'd laugh at those poor buggers who owned Jap cars. They'd have to pay $100's for basic parts like an alternator, rad, brakes, etc. when my GM rwd was so cheap to buy parts for, and fix. It's not such a difference now but I think it's still cheaper to keep a North American car going. I've never owned an import and would bet my cost of ownership is cheaper than people who buy only imports.
#4820 of 4908 new owner by sogabuman Feb 18, 2007 (3:31 am)
Hi, y'all!   Just bought a new "old" Malibu. Got a good deal on a new 2005 (only 225 miles). I love the car so far. Any hints on things to watch for? Thanks in advance.

Replying to: sogabuman (Feb 18, 2007 3:31 am) By new "old" you mean the present platform and not the old 1997+ platform that soldiered on as a Classic, right?   I've had excellent luck with my 05 Maxx. 42K on the odometer. Had one recall that I can't even remember the details of, it wasn't bothering me and was taken care of as part of regular service.   If you have a 3.5 v-6, it's an extremely easy engine on oil. The oil life monitor indicates approximately 7000 mile oil changes and I think you can push dino. that far.   Sitting around for two model years shows lessening demand, guess they're right to get the 08's out. What trim level did you get? How much did you pay? Shouldn't have been much.   If you look on the Malibu (some old platform stuff is mixed in-- should have broken out the 2004+ car) and Malibu Maxx you can see some problems that have developed, mostly in the 2004 cars.
