The brakes only failed once, however I have had it in atleast 6 times since lease for complaints on the brakes to two different dealerships. I was told by one that the Malibu's are having problems with the brake pads, why has no one been told this? my ABS is agin coming on and now getting ready for it's 7th trip to service.
