Chevrolet Malibu

"Sensor problem failed to recognize when vehicle was in Park and would inhibit shut down."

"When turning shifting to park and turniong off the engine and it will often say "shift to park" and we have to wiggle the gear shift, shift it in and out of gear or turn engine on and off several times. The dealer said it is a common problem and needs a sensor replacement in the linkage. Since it is so common the part was not even available at the time. Despite the wide spread problem there was no recall. We were told it would be easier to get the part and fix if we had purchased an extended warranty."

"Just started as my 36000. Warranty ran out and would not cover it . Shift indicator was in park but would t indicate , so had to rock shift back and forth ."

"The check engine light has come on 3 times. Each time I brought it to the dealership, it was still covered by extended warranty, no problem was found. However last time GM sent letter stating unless I actually see a problem I should not bring the car in and will get charged. So I am supposed to ignore the engine warning light. I read on the internet this is a common issue with 2016 CHEVROLET Malibu. For this reason I will not purchase it again."

"Rt side tail signal break lights"

"fuel gage was inaccurate"

"I noticed a popping noise in the rear suspension of the vehicle. I took it to a private repair shop and the bushings in the rear knuckles were ceased up and popped when the vehicle moved forward or in reverse. Because the bushings were pressed in, the knuckles had to be replaced. The repair was not covered under warranty as the vehicle had 50K miles on it."

"power steering failed on highway, towed to dealer, re-programmed. dealer had service notice on problem"

"One rear shock leaked after only 28,500 miles and one month after 36 mo warranty expired."

"Gauge indicator replaced twice and still doesn't register properly"

"Check engine light came on."

"see the previous comment"

"The shift did not register the vehicle in park and thus would not shut off completely. When we came back from vacation and the battery was dead. The shifter-control assembly was replaced under warranty but the dealer charged us $300 for a new battery."

"would not start while vacationing in florida, taken to authorized dealer in ft. pierce.turned out to be a rip-off with my fuel injection system costing me a sizeable amount for something I thought was warrwntied"

"Both areas checked were the same problem. A recall regarding Pre Ignition that could cause engine failure. They also changed the recommended oil type / viscosity to use going forward"

"The throttle position sensor failed, causing a loss of power. The check engine light came on and a message on the dash identified the loss of power. Was traveling miles from home and took it to the closest dealer. The dealer was unable to repair the vehicle as parts were on back order. The dealer reset the check engine light and we did not experience the failure again. When we returned home, the dealer that I purchased the vehicle from ordered the parts. Three weeks later the parts came in and the dealer repaired the issue, no charge for repairs. The dealer also provided a loaner car at no charge while the vehicle was being repaired."

"The hybrid battery went dead after the car sat for four months without being started or driven. There is no instruction in the owners manual that indicated that the car needed to be started at least once every two weeks in order to keep the hybrid battery charged and functioning. When the problem was discovered (the car would not start) it took a week to replace the battery at the dealership. Then when the battery was replaced it took a week to discover that the vehicles On Star system was not functioning properly, requiring a second trip to the mechanic to replace the On Star electronics. Once that repair was complete the car has operated without any issues."

"failure of sensor that resulted in vehicle not recognizing that transmission was in park, couldn't start engine"

"Pads and rotors had to be replaced in both rear wheels at 71,000 km."

"It took 6 weeks to get replacement part"

"Rear rotors had to be replaced."

"This was a recall item"

"Engine was sporadic, took to dealer, engine was defective. CHEVROLET replaced the entire engine, but it was a hassle and took 3-4 weeks."

"Was a warranty item picked up by car company that resulted in the repair and a switch of the type of engine oil recommended."

"cover fell off. needed replacement"

"Had to have the drivers seat fixed 3 times because it would slip out of place"

"The drivers seat , when turning a corner would make an audible click, and would feel like something in the seat itself was moving, it took 4 trips to the dealer before they finally replaced the seat base, which fixed the problem. I dont know if I was more frustrated with the dealer, who could not fix it the first time, or the quality control program at GM. Also, not related to the seat problem, was the front carpet fit , there is a gap of 1 inch around the steering column, as if the carpet was made for something else and was forced to fit, dealer told me there was nothing they could do about it because all 2016 Malibus were that way. Unacceptable answer for a 35000 car!"

"the door weatherstrip came loose and had to be repaired and the carpet does not reach the moulding under steering column. There is a 1 inch section that you can see the underlayment. Dealer says this is normal!!!!"

"Door moulding had bad finish and was replaced."

"inside the door, is a rubber moulding that came off. Poor design as your foot drags against it when you enter car"

"light went on and my chevy dealership took care of it"

"Just defective module, indicator light came on advising and new part was ordered and installed by dealer within a week. Under warranty - No costs. No problems since repair."

"I had bought the car a few months previously, and the A/C wasn't working. I took it back to the dealer where I bought it, and they had to replace the A/C compressor. It had a pin hole leak, and all the cooling was gone. It was fixed in about 3 days. As you might assume, it was covered under the initial new car warranty."

"I had bought the Chevy new. After a few days, the A/C didn't seem to be working. I took it back to the dealer, and they determined there was a pin hole leak in the condenser. It was replaced under warranty. Now it's working fine"

"THE COMPLETE HYBRID TRANSMISSION BROKE DOWN AFTER 7500 MILES AND GM BOUGHT THE CAR BACK FROM ME"
