Brakes groan when applied (sound like a big rubber band being stretched).
Car vibrates when braking.
Some vibration when driving.
Turn signal malfunctions while in use - just stops working when engaged then will start again. Sometimes won't come on. Problem is both sides and front and back and doesn't matter if I'm braking or not at the same time. Turn Signal also doesn't always turn off after a turn.
Inconsistent fuel mileage.
Barely any air coming out of #1 and #2 option. Must put on #3 to feel anything. Have worked with this by adjusting the air temp.
The car is comfortable for me. I like that the radio and temperature controls are within easy reach of the steering wheel. I also like the cup holder to the left of the steering wheel that pulls out from the dash. This car accelerates good and handles well, however the problems above seem to increase more and more and I see that many people with Malibu's are having the same problems or worse.
I agree with the above comments, but feel that problems many Chevy Malibu drivers experience have been left out. Including, AC that does not work properly, battery, alternator and serpentine belt replacement. Endless brake problems, of which I am still not sure how to get fixed. One of my sensors went out which caused my car to die while driving it. I have been on many other websites and seen other Malibu drivers complaining of the same problems.
