Malibu

  • Automatic transmission
  • 34,000 miles

My son was in the back seat and all the sudden he says "I'm getting rained on!!"

The car was pouring in soapy water from the back window, it looked like maybe the door seal or back window leaking.

Took it into Chevy, 4k miles out of the bumper to bumper warranty, only a year and a few months old. WE were told the back brake light needs to be replaced due to a defect... It was going to be a 300 dollar fix for the part and installation. No replacing the roof cloth that is all stained or the side curtain airbag I'm sure had water sitting in it. We fought Chevy trying to get them to cover everything under warranty, we were told they would cover the labor for the part and we would pay for the part, 150 dollars...

What is really aggravating is the Chevy Cruz same body style, but smaller, HAS A RECALL FOR THE SAME THING!!!!

We have to pay money to have the work half done, now have a POS Malibu with a sh*tty engine and a stained roof.

Chevy has been the worst to deal with.
