Buying a new car and trying to stay true to my Country.?

No. Buy from a company based in the U.S. The chevrolet Malibu is highly ranked. We have a 1998 that has over 153,000 miles with no real issues and still runs and drives great. How many miles does the Impala have on it? Is it under warranty? If so, go back to the dealer and ask for the regional customer service phone number and call them. Or take it to a different dealer. If it is out of warranty, try a good independent mechanic. Good luck and don't give up, even the foreign models have glitches. Peace.
