I purchased said auto 2015 with 30,000 miles I have had to replace 6 axle bearing 2 because ABS tape came off of hub I have replaced camshaft accuaters and cam shaft solonoid, I was a mechanic and service manager for over 20 years.car, had the right 5-20 oil at oil changes. Car has 160,000miles now but about every 30,000 miles it needs anouther axle hub.I drove Pontiac for years I worked in a Pontiac garage the last two had head gasket problems I replaced my self. I think GM should have had a recall on these cars for I am not the only one replacing these hubs

Just like every other complaint for this model year - ABS/brake sils come on w/routine driving @40 mph off highway and then service warnings about stabilitrak and brake systemscome on; this happened in February where the dealership claimed it was a cracked wheel hub (owned less than 1 year and not covered) and said it needed replacing. Replaced at ~$600. Afterwards, brakes were real shaky (whole steering column shakes) when braking over 55mph - dealership said it couldn't possibly be related to replacing the wheel hub. Now, three months later, it's happening again - this time @30mph getting on highway on-ramp have to take car in, pay diagnostic and then repair costs. Chevrolet knows [xxx] well what's going wrong with their design flaw (speed ring wear/malfunction) and needs to be redesigning/replacing system components.

While driving ABS warning came on. Also showed brake assist warning and stability Ram warning.

- Gardner, IL, USA

On March 30th, my ABS lights came on my vehicle. I took my car to the dealership. I was told not to drive the vehicle. My car was serviced for the wheel bearings and ABS brake system $1085. After picking up my vehicle, I received a diagnostic report from onstar stating that my vehicle still had brake and ABS problems. I picked up the car from the dealership. Two days later while driving 40 mph my brakes went out completely out and I crashed into a van.

As many other customers have reported on these Malibu's, issues with the wheel bearings going out in them at relatively low miles. I think this issue needs to be looked into because there are a ton of complaints about this issue.

- Greenwood, IN, USA

My car started making this loud roaring noise at 75,000 miles. It got worse the longer I drove it. I ended up getting whee bearing replaced. Looking online I found out this is a huge problem with 2014 Malibu's. most are going out before 50,000 miles or lower. I think Chevrolet needs to know about this problem before someone gets hurt.

On 1/2/2019 I was driving in my car and two warning messages suddenly popped up on my console warning about the stability control and ABS systems. There is a sensor that reads a "speed ring" on the rear of the wheel hubs. It seems Chevy cars are known to have this ring crack and sections break off. When this happens the sensor can no longer read it and your stability control and ABS systems will immediately stop working. The only way to resolve this problem is to replace the entire hub. Not only is this a serious safety issue but a considerable design flaw. You should only ever have to replace a hub if the bearing wear out because it is a very expensive repair. The other rear hub on my car is showing cracks in this ring and will need to be replaced as well. Chevy is fully aware of this issue. I tried to contact Chevy about this on Jan 5 and got a call from them Jan 14 from a very rude and condescending person who was more concerned that I didnt pay Chevy to repair the problem instead of the seriousness of the safety issue. Chevy needs to cover the cost of these repairs for me and everyone affected and needs to do a recall.

Wheel bearing assembly. My car, as well as oh so many others, have an issue with the magnetic ring on the bearing assembly breaking. When this happens, it causes the ABS, traction control, stablitrak and brake assist to all shut down. These failures happen frequently and repeatedly. It's estimated to be a $400 fix...for each one. Considering not every owner can just run to a dealer on a moments notice to have one or multiple bearing replaced, it leaves us with no choice but to drive a car with all of these components disabled until the repair can be made. It might not be a problem in places like California or Florida where they don't deal with snow and ice, but here in Iowa, it's a safety concern to not have the ABS, traction control, brake assist and stablitrak functioning. The worse part is, I can fix one and have others go bad or fix them and they go bad again down the road.

Rear wheel bearing and hubs replaced at 22,790 miles at 37,00 miles left rear and right front wheel bearings are bad again

- Austintown, OH, USA

Its a common problem I have seen that happened to me 2 months after buying this car. The rear wheel bearing and hub assembly in both wheels have gone bad and it cause the brake light and ABS light to come and repairs cost over 700 dollars. This problem is all over the internet and happens typically around 50,000 to 60,000 miles. I am not happy at all seeing as this is my first big car purchase and first Chevy purchase. If this isnt covered by recall soon or by Chevy then this will be the last and only time I ever get a Chevy andits sad because I actually work for a dealership and still got screwed. Problem started when I was driving home from work and was set on cruise control at 70 mph when all of a sudden the brake and ABS light came on so I had our mechanic check it out and thats what was the problem

Wheel bearings or hubs going bad on numerous Malibu's. many reported below 30K miles. My car is at 53K and 2 &1/2 years old and just had my first wheel hub go! the dealer paid basically for the labor and I paid for the factory part that will go bad again. The part by acdelco has only 1 seal and that maybe good for the southern half of the country but the northern half of the country uses salt which we as consumers can not control. I wash and clean my car regularly to keep salt off in winter.but the seal is still corroding with no backup protection. Moog provides a wheel hub and uses 4 seals! how are we as consumers supposed to be able to know exactly when the wheel hub is going to go. The wheel hub is getting water and dirt inside meaning that 1 seal is failing! its only a matter of time until someone gets seriously injured. Help us stop that from happening. If my vehicle was 7 years or had 100K miles on it and a wheel hub went bad then I would replace all 4 to be proactive, but at 50K miles I or we as consumers (however you want to look at it) shouldn't have to be that proactive to keep the wheels on the car! also when I contacted 3 different dealers and asked them for a replacement wheel hub and told them it was for a 2014 Malibu, each one of them responded by saying "that's not surprising, we get a ton of part requests for that particular part on that vehicle." 2 of them even chuckled because they know we will need 3 more and they know the process will continue to start all over again. Luckily for me I do my research and won't be putting anymore wheel hubs by GM or acdelco on my vehicle. I will be putting on moog! sadly other people won't research like I did and will get taken advantage of and if they trade theirs cars in all they are doing is eventually passing on their problem to someone else who is unsuspecting. The bearing sounded like extra loud road noise.

A lady ran a red light and T-boned my Chevy Malibu on the drivers side as I was proceeding through the intersection. Airbags did not deploy. My head slammed in to the drivers side window. Drivers side door was smashed in. The car had to be towed because it couldn't be driven. I have a concussion that's lasted for 2 weeks and body pain from the accident. Shouldn't the airbags have deployed?

I just bought my vehicle from the dealer and notice chunks off rubber coming of the tire and the car itself has low miles 40,000 want to know if anything can be done to fix issue

- El Paso, TX, USA

Stabilitrak stability control system, anti lock brakes and wheel bearing. 2nd time I have had these lights come on, driving and tracking control kicked in and then the lights all appear. I paid to have it fixed, and they spliced into the wire, not covered under warranty according to care. Yet it is part of wiring harness.

While on a trip to Florida the rear wheel bearings and hubs went bad with less than 21000 miles. Vehicle was noisy and slight shimmy N the rear while driving on all type of roads and at all speeds.

- Waverly, NY, USA

The wheel bearings are going out with less than 40K miles on it and it is a well documented and regularly occurring problem. On the Malibu forum there are over 7 pages of people stating that they have had to replace the wheel bearings with as few as 19K miles on them. I am a few thousand miles outside of my warranty so I have to pay for the repair out of my own pocket but I think its ridiculous that oem parts, that the GM service managers admit are faulty, have to be paid for by the consumer. If my wheel bearing failed I could have lost control of the vehicle and put my whole family at risk of serious injury or death.
