This car has been horrible. First my brake lights would reverse, meaning when I wasn't braking they would be on and when I was they would turn off! Huge safety issue. Then the ECM started going crazy. I took it to several repair shops and no one has been able to repair it. It randomly throws up codes, won't shift out of first, won't start, and my speedometer starts flipping out. Now it is doing this new thing where it reads that it is -17 degrees outside (in July in Tennessee). Since the car thinks it's -17, my air conditioner won't cool. I've replaced so many parts hoping to fix the issue to no avail. I'm disappointed because I've researched online where so many people are having this same problem. Chevy refuses to address the situation. Now, the car is making a loud, alarming sound when I start it, it won't go out of first anyway, so it's basically useless. I've pour all this money into a car that is unfix-able. I would never recommend this car, or even another Chevy, to anyone. There has just been too many issues swept under the rug and not addressed. I would give the Chevy Malibu a 0 out of 10 for reliability.

I don't like the quality of my vehicle. It experiences turbulence at times, one of the brakes are out, it leaks in 4 different places, and I have had it for a little bit over a year. I suppose its a decent vehicle for how long it has lasted with as many miles as it has on it, however, I would not buy it again or refer it to a friend.
