| I purchased the 2010 malibu, used from the dealership- they were the owners previously. i purchased it in oct. 2011 and have taken it to the dealership 8 times in the 9 months of owning it. one time the entire driver side floor had 1+ inches of standing water in it, after a rain. the esc light continued to come on and off- they couldn't locate any issue- the first 2 times i took it in for that. the oil life sensor never went off for service- i was at 10,000 miles since the last oil change. i took it to my real mechanic to have fixed. the battery went totally dead in it one day- they said it had bad cells in it. and it would also stall, and when going about 40 mph not accelerate, on inclines. that's when the esc light would kick on, sometimes, and the rpm's would go up and down, all over the place. finally made the dealership keep it until they figured out something- they kept it a few days, and called me numerous times asking me unrelated questions- they thought i was nuts, because they couldn't reproduce the issue. finally- they told me a wire in the fuel injection had come loose. my car was so called 'certified' by the dealership- but i don't think they did any of the tests, or else they would have found some of these things themselves. *tr | |||

| 2010 chevy malibu roof leak from bad weld water ran down headliner and flooded back floor behind drive seat. water was almost 1 deep. water ran down headliner across wiring for airbags, lights and settled along floor near the main body wiring harness. rust on seat brackets. dealer pulled out headliner, windshield, all seats and trim. replaced carpet cleaned and painted seat brackets. called chevrolet hq but would do nothing but replace carpet and extend warranty - unwilling to buy car back or trade for another vehicle. having delay issues with lights on dashboard now. unwilling to do anything regarding resale vallue of vehicle, very arrogant attitude and cavalier towards me as a customer. more road noise since interior was ripped out. vehicle had 15,000 miles when this happened. still have musty odor sometimes after car has sat for a day. | |||
