OK....so 2 days after I bought this car (btw for too much money than it's worth)
the timing sensor went out and left me stranded......and has never worked properly since then...is wants to "bog" down around 40 mph....then, when it's cold out, the is a part of the frame under the drivers foot, that pops...but...........the real complaint is:
1st...When my car only had 29,000 mile on it, the ABS light came on, took it to the dealer I bought it from, and although they thought that $600 to replace the hub was funny, I didn't....the "senor has rusted out" and although there is no performance issue, we can't change the sensor, but will have to chance the entire hub assembly..!!
2nd....the tire icon kept coming up, while checking the "car icon" it showed it was the left rear tire....so I put air in it.....but the icon continue to show the tire low, so put too much air in the tire.....after checking all of the tires, I then discovered that the CAR ICON IS BACKWARDS....THE FRONT 2 TIRES ARE ACTUALLY THE BACK TWO..AND THE BACK 2 TIRES ARE SHOWING ON THE FRONT....
last but not least (for now that is) both of my car keys have broke, one right in my hand while unlocking door, and the other in the ignition.....I THE STRAIGHT POS KEYS, TO BE RECALLED AND I WANT MY 2 CAR KEYS REPLACED FOR FREE....I HAVE NEVER, EVER, OWNED A CAR WHERE THE KEY BROKE, THESE KEYS ARE COMPLETE JOKES AND SHOULD BE RECALLED!!!

ABS light came on at 62000 km, just after bumper to bumper warranty was up. Toner ring on the right rear wheel for ABS sensor had corrosion under it and had fallen off. Only way to fix this was to replace the wheel bearing that was perfectly fine.
They did fix for half price because it was only 2000 km out of warranty. Ridiculous to replace the whole wheel bearing to fix a cheap toner ring.
They also told me the left rear ring was about to fall off at any time but wouldn't fix for half price till it fell off. It finally fell off today, 4 months later but now too late to get any kind deal on replacement.
These rings should be replaceable if they are going to fall off like this.

ABS light and Traction Control light came on with a warning to Service Stabilitrak System. Wheel bearing on passenger side back rear went first at 48000, then the drivers-ide.. GM does not replace as part of that inefficient warranty. Based on the issues I have had with this call over all. Trim falling off while driving. Fog light cover coming off while driving. Various issues with ABS and Traction control with a $600 dollar price tag, before this issue. I think after a lifetime of owning only GM cars the next one will be some other manufacturer.

First ABS Light came on in October 2018 (2014 Malibu). The Track assist light also on. Cost $1,444 to get rear hubs replaced. Lights went off until March 2019. They are back on now. Cost $400 to put in three sensors. When we picked the car up - both warning lights were still on. Dealer did an estimate of an additional $1,250 needed to replace a control. Drove car home with the 2 lights on & did not pay an additional $1,250. SO far we have paid nearly $2000 for this issue. With the new estimate, will be over $3,000.
