(reported on)Malibu LS 3.5L
After a few months of owning the car, the back seat levers (to adjust recline and lower back seat) cracked. Had to buy them from an aftermarket company. Soon there after, other plastic components started showing cracks. As of today, with a little over 38,000 miles, the two vanity mirror flaps are cracked (never even use them), the plastic cover around the automatic shifter is cracked, the other rear seat handle is starting to show wear, the plastic cover behind the center console in the back seat is loose as the retaining pieces have broken off, the center console is harder to close (poor plastic design and quality), the center console has some strange coating that easily scratches off (marks everywhere), all the vinyl/plastic trim around the windows have yellowed out badly from the sun (despite some UV protection from the glass), etc. I just keep finding poor quality plastic components throughout the car. May have over 38,000 miles, but it is only a little over 2 years old. Does not get abused and rarely carries passengers or kids. Imagine if I really put this car through some real world usage.
