Malibu LT 2.4L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 270,000 miles

The steering and suspension all gave out down the road. The parts on there got rusted badly that were factory. Repairs at shops aren't cheap so unless u can fix it yourself if not then ur sol. This car has a lot of undercarriage issues like tie rods sway bars ball joints cv joints. They all lock up or go out fast

Malibu LX 4.0L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 102,000 miles

I have had the car checked for this three times and no one can figure it out because it doesn't happen all of the time. They have fixed and made suggestions of changing things such as rotters and brakes. I also have an issue where my screen for my radio does not always come on when I start the car. I have to tap the screen a few times to get it to come on. This happens sporadically also so it is hard to get someone to look at it because it seems to work fine when I take it to the garage and start the car.
