Chevrolet Malibu Change Vehicle

"Recall"

"Ignition, brake lights, air bags, suspension, GM brakes recalls"

"Lights do not come up automatically, delayed. Still not completely corrected by Chevy"

"There was a recall having something to do with the rear brake lights"

"To replace the headlights I had to take it to the dealer who had to take the front bumper off to replace the headlights and cost several hundred dollars"

"Headlights - Cost $150 to replace. Bumber had to be removed. Problem was due to wiring problem which has been repared."

"right headlight went out - found that full front fascia and a part of wheel liner had to be removed to access light assy for replacement - not easily done."

"Lights have to be changed by someone who is highly experienced, as it is very difficult. Front of car needs to be disassembled"

"To replace a $6.00 light bulb, you have to take your car to the dealership and pay over $100.00 in labor. I chose to replace the light bulb myself. Did research online. It required removing entire front end of car 20+ bolts/clips, it took 3+ hours to complete this task. It use to take a few minutes"

"Replacement of Headlamp Bulb requires expensive disassembly and reassembly"

"Headlight went out & in order to replace it, you have to drop the front bumper. Labor cost was $100. Bad design!"

"Both headlight bulbs had to be replaced."

"The battery was change in the remote entry sometimes it works and sometime it doesn't. My wife's set has no problems."

"recall brake lamp, switch wire harness update"

"thermostat occasionally seems to stop working then spontaneously starts working again. Happens more in cold weather"

"I washaving problems w/the check engine light & my car shutting off while driving and the car jerking when pressing on the gas pedal from a start, & as long as my check engine light was on, the remote starter would not work"

"Wiper transmission broke where it connects to the wiper motor"

"pads needed replaced"

"New rotors and brake pads"

"lining for the brakes"

"Front brakes were worn down. Normal wear. Routine maintenance"

"One day I noticed that my brakes really grabbed and made a horrible metal sound when braking. I took it to the CHEVROLET dealer for an assessment. They determined that the brake pads were worn through and that the rotors needed replacement. I was shocked since the car only had 50K miles on it. (I've owned several Toyotas in the past and none of them had this problem at such an early age or even as they aged.) I paid $850 for the job and was angry as I realized that the job should have cost a lot less. So I feel that between the car needing this early extensive brake job and the cost to fix it that I was ripped off twice."

"Brakes wore only after about 6 months"

"I have never before had to replace rotars and pads on a leased vehicle. Only 30000 miles on them, with no indication of problem at previous inspection"

"I have replaced the rotors and brakes on this vehicle three times in 73K miles with GM parts at the dealer. The miles driven are all highway miles. Other GM vehicles owned have not come close to this amount of repair and replacement. There is an obvious design flaw or cheap materials built in somewhere."

"The Brakes rusted and had to be totally replaced."

"Brakes seem to cause vibration after a hard stop."

"The rotor issue is part of the overall brake job issue that I described in the previous section."

"I have replaced the rotors in this car twice in less than a year, and it now feels like I will have to replace them a third time in less than 2 years. I have no idea why they are wearing out so quickly"

"wound not stop warping had to replace with aftermarket rotors"

"they had a problem with the rotors warping"

"The rotors were warped when I had to replace the pads which was strange and expensive"

"Rotors on the car are persistent in requiring change from pulsating. It appears GM insists on putting too small of rotors on a car compared to its weight to safe money. As a lifelong Chevrolet owner this has been a life of rotor replacements in all vehicles."

"brake calipers needed to be ground off due to excessive buildup"

"started leaking"

"began to make a grinding noise"

"The strut mounts needed replacement. I have spoke to other owners of the same model and year with similar problems. there should be a recall on this part. Iv driven most of my vehicles to around 150K miles and NEVER had to replace struts because of strut mount failure. This includes over 30 vehicles in my lifetime."

"My girlfriend caused this issue."

"Uneven tire wear caused by bushings going bad, tie rod broken: started 18 months ago; identified by pulling to the right and the need to always over correct the steering wheel. We called several repair shops including the dealership where purchased and the cost, especially at the dealership was outrageous! often in excess of $3000! We ended up at a local, small "mom and pop" repair shop. They fixed the problem to our satisfaction and at a lower cost than anyone else. Additionally, they told us how to fix the hole in the muffler ourselves, thus saving us even more money (about $500 savings doing it ourselves!)."

"whirring noise"

"wheel bearings replaced with 50k miles"

"Had to replace left wheel bearing in Jan 2019 along with entire muffler system at over $1200. In April road noise got very loud and had to replace right wheel bearing at over $645."
