Still got 320k still running and beating the piss outta it 🤣
It’s an 2009 Malibu btw still running
Same bro
I’m jealous you had a good experience with a Chevy car there terrible for me. My 2014 Chevy Cruze was terribly unreliable it was such a lemon. My mom offered me to instead of trading it she could give me an older car with more miles she had a Toyota Camry 2011 and I never regret my decision. She complains to me all the time about something breaking down or something wrong with the car my other experience was a Chevy Malibu hybrid. Extremely unreliable broke down all the time but luckily the car dealer gave me more then I paid for it so I made a little profit selling it back surprisingly.
@@lukedavenport8576you gotta be on your maintenance or else it won’t last
My mannn🤘🤘
2008 with 328,000 miles. I daily mine it’s been a excellent car for me.
I have a 2010 Malibu and my biggest gripe is that you have to take the bumper off just the change the damn headlight bulbs. Other than that no major issues like timing belts, etc. I only have like 130,000 on it though.
I hate it lol just had to replace mine
Ive got a 2010 with 158k Kms on it. Only had to replace a wiper motor so far. (And a cv axle but that was my fault lol)
That bulb sucks ass, I agree just did one
i only leave 4 bolts on now 🤣🤣 just pop one off and bend the bumper out on the side youre replacing then repeat on the other saves a BUNCH of time
Wait I just bought one and I need to change a headlight, so I have I take the bumper off?!😭im resellling this hoe
I bought a 2010 Chevy Malibu LTZ with 89k for $10k in 2015. 8 years later with 195k miles I’ve had to replace the transmission this year and it currently burns oil but I mean the car has been great. These cars do have their problems but if you treat them right and do the maintenance they should last or at least give you your bang for your buck
In 2008 my dad bought this car. Had an inline 4 and for the time, it felt really fancy. This, according to my dad was the car that saved GM during the Great Recession. Reached somewhere between 250,000 or 200,00 miles and the transmission finally broke. Replaced that and now the cars has over 300,000 miles. This was my first car and I absolutely loved it. This in my opinion was the most reliable malibu out of the versions that preceded after it, which isn’t anything to applaud about but I think is very impressive.
This was GM's first car in a while that they actually took pride in designing, and it shows. It was THEE quietest mid-sized sedan in it's class in 2008, both with the engine noise and wind/tire noise. Dual-pane front windows helps with that. It was right up there with the Honda accord and Toyota camry when it came to fuel economy too. I've driven my sister's 2010 LT 2.4, and boy, it's definitely quiet, comfortable but not floaty, and has surprisingly excellent body control in turns. It's not fast by any means, but it can do a tiny burnout if you brake-torque it 🤣🤣
Still got my 2011 Chevy Malibu 163,000 miles straight pipe with no resonator no muffler running like a champ
my LT is at 210,000 mi, problems are slowly starting to creep up on her though i’m a little nervous. Ran like a champ for 5 years though
I drive mine in manual hit 75 in second gear
185,000 on mine still running fine. Had power steering problems a while back so had to get steering column replaced but nothin else
270k on my odo and the car is TRASH 1-3 on the transmission is going straight piped the resonator redid the suspension redid the head gasket timing has to come soon and last but not least fuel tank is leaking so I gotta drop the entire exhaust to drop the tank and repair it and possibly the fuel pump. Don’t get me started on changing the low beam bulbs... I just did that today 💀
Bro i need to hear this make a video
My 2011 still going on 290,000 miles still my daily driver. It's going to 400,000
just got one today, what's some regular maintenance you do to keep it running so good? asking so i can take care of mine
i got one now, my 2011 tweaks like a mf bro😂
@@moneymakingmohad my 2011 for a few months and only had a measly misfire but that was an easy fix. 170k+ miles and still going strong. I be abusing it
Mine was a 2009. With a little over 150k. Never had issues other than flats
And yet, similar year accords have timing chain issues, 4 cylinder camrys have head gasket issues, and do I even bother mentioning Hyundai. If you change the oil every 3k and trans fluid every 60k, that much cheaper Malibu will run forever.
Have a 2012 Malibu it’s doing just fine
He ain't wrong, mine is at 155K and beating it up. Mainly driving it in Manual mode because in Automatic it shifts at higher RPMs than I like. I feel if you shift earlier the trans could last a lot longer.
I slightly let off the gas and it then it shifts and it’s smooth
@@crazythingis I will agree if you do allow it to downshift while coasting it does do a pretty good shift, but I have been experimenting on downshifting in Manual mode, and it’s giving a better down shift feel than in automatic. So hopefully I can extend this trans lol, but I believe I do need to replace the trans fluid again.
I shift mine at 8,000 rpm’s top it out at 140 mph I got a four cylinder
These cars are beasts. Reliable and tough.
I have a 2012 Chevy Malibu and it runs completely great I have had no issues with it it's a great car I would still highly recommend it
I have a 2012 Malibu with 105k miles. I’ve had to replace the front struts. Replace a wheel hub bearing. Both in the last year. And I got that damn rust right behind the passenger doors like many of them do. But… she runs absolutely perfect I can’t lie
Had a 2009 and drove it up to 220,000k. Only got rid of it bc it got totaled. Excellent car. No one else seems to have issues with them either.
These people who do these reviews HAVE NEVER OWND THESE CARS, like MOST cars if you do your maintenance like your suspose to then these listed problems wouldnt be problems, as for seat comfort, find another car GM makes with better seatsand change them, almost everything is interchangeable ESPECIALLY with these cars all built within the same year span
My 2009 Chevrolet Malibu LTZ w/ an LY7 3.6L v6 has 97k & it’s still the fastest/Economical V6 Sports Sedan no one can buy in the market! Plus I know my shit about the problems that stem with this car & I have to say 99.99% of mechanical problems fall on the owners lack of maintenance! The only thing in this video that’s not opinionated is the power steering system (or the electrical system depending on the trim level) which will go after driving over 100k miles on the original system…. Just like most things that have over 100k 🤷♂️…. So idk what where this hate for the 7th Gen Malibus comes from. Problems like the timing chain stem from poor oil quality/quantity or terrible air circulation like the engine filter or the solenoid/evap valve! I have a theory that people don’t like these because once you drive them into the ground with no maintenance for 30-60k miles they end up paying a fortune for their own negligence or someone else’s! Thank god I own my beauty of a Chevy & can maintain its life for however long I can make it last! STOP THE HATE ON THE MALIBUS!
Can you please help me with a problem im having with my 2011? Paid 6000 its been having so much problems changed the alternator starter,evap was changed the battery cables are 160 each my question does the postive cable go straight to the starter? I know theres a plug in on these cables but the shop went straight to the starter will this make it keep dying out? Had for a year got 93,000 on it and got 2000 miles changed oil kept up on everything im still sitting here without a car? Any advice please
3.6 engine if that matters
@@Nicole-dj3jf it’s immensely difficult to find a shortage in the wiring itself, it’s could be something completely unrelated to the starter cables or battery itself (assuming you changed the battery). I would take have a trusted mechanic who is reliable so they can find the shortage, this is all the help I can give man I’m I’m not knowledgeable in the electrical components that run around in these cars. Hope you find a solution!! 🙏
@@SpeedyB2Kthanks for the response i will be taking to a GM retired mechanic he said he xan find shorts on these easy its all he works on and he makes alot of money 😂 because all these cars do this by design smh
do you mind helping me with a problem i have with my chevy 2008 its saying that i have a security lock on the car and it won’t start
I don’t know what this guy is talking about🤷🏾♀️ My 2011 Chevy Malibu runs WAY BETTER then that nut ass Nissan Versa I had. Mileage at 150,000 and I love how Chevrolet cars has minor problems then major problems. Chevrolet car engines also runs STRONG!! 💪🏾 Gas wise, I only need $35- $40 to fill up the whole tank. If your Chevrolet car is mess up, then that means you need to take better care of the car. Can’t believe everything you hear on the internet 💯
Only issue we had on my sister's Malibu was the problematic electric power steering was bad. We fixed it by putting in a junkyard column + steering wheel combo that worked great.
Just got a 2011 it's a lil dinged up but all I've seen is people disagreeing with videos like this about it being a bad car. I've owned 5 chevys I love them looking forward to giving mine a long life
I hesrd they were pretty good....like lasting to up to 600 thousand miles.😊
I have a 2011 Chevy Malibu LTZ, and I replaced the taillights/break lights, and they still won’t come on unless I’m hitting the break so does that mean I’m having an electrical issue somewhere????????
Yes theres a fuse box in the trunk get that check? I have a 2011 Chevy Malibu ltz my battery cables where cut from of thief's the cables are 100 a peace hell no i got the same cables from a junk yard! Im aick of this car but its nice and now it will have all new parts! Remember the ruse box theres 3 one under the hood one in the trunk and a side one on the passenger side! 😂 these cars have problems with wiring so buy a bottle of wire spray to protect the wires also check the fuses its probably just a fuse!! Oh one more thing 😂you have to take off the bumber to change a head light im not joking! 😂😂 there crazy let me know if it was a fuse? And make sure to keep the battery cables tight or your gonna have alot of problems
My 2011 runs great a few scratches but hey I live in the city.
My 2011 has 260,000 miles and has required. Nothing major at all so video is a fail.
2012 Malibu owner here. Just hit 113K on mine and she’s running like a top. Haven’t had to do anything to it. I’m the second owner, bought it with 46k miles on it from an old man who I’m sure didn’t rag it and I do the regular maintenance on it. I plan on running it to at least 250k which will take me quit a while considering I only put about 6,500 to 7,000 miles a year on it. Only complaint is one mentioned in this video… the driver seat is ragged out already. Thought about replacing it soon.
I have a 2012 Malibu and put H&R lowering springs with KYB struts and new mounts. It rides and much better handling. It's been 98% reliable as a daily driver. 168k miles It's worth more to me than trying to trade it in😂
Prolly the best car I’ve owned it got 160k miles and running so smooth 😂
You lost me when you used the word “investment” in your content. A car is a depreciating asset. Unless you buying a collectors item, you’re losing money every single day.
They force you to take it to the mechanic for certain things like changing a headlight I mean, if I had to Jacks & jackstands I would do it cause you have to take off the whole front bumper pain in the ass with a scam. I’ll never buy anything GM again.
Only one is agree with us fuel economy, for some reason it’s horrible
Mine sucks the gas I’m getting 18 miles per gallon
@@jamesjirik2245 yeah first thing I noticed
@@CesarMartinez-nu3if at least the spark plugs were easy to change. I did them recently I had to use a breaker bar or a pipe to break them loose but I think that’s supposed to help with fuel economy and obviously if you keep it at 55 and use the speed control. Otherwise it has guzzles the gas.
Agreed. 😅
I’m getting average 22 mpg right now. Tomorrow I could start having lower, and it’ll go back up. Idk why it does that.
My 2012 malibu has 214k miles on it. Still running.
Is it still running what did you have to replace
@@Tampajames813 I traded it in for an equinox with really low mileage, but it was still running decent. It had a cracked exhaust manifold.
Throughout the lifespan of the vehicle, since getting it at about 140k, I had to replace the rear left shock because it had broken, a brake caliper, and I was having electrical issues with the wiring harness that went to the passenger headlight.@@Tampajames813
I have a 2011 Chevy Malibu LTZ and it has 254k miles on it and it still drives like real good
You talk about the back seats and not taking off the bumper for a light bulb
Yahhhhhh my fkn head light is out well i look up how to change, i called the makers and bitched them out lol who is that stupid to design a fuckng car like this what next pull out the motor to change a dam head light!! Im sorry your having trouble lol nah fool i got this but i aint never gonna waste money on your cars AGAIN 😂😂
But there's another video showing how you dint need to pull off the bumper you jack it up and go throw the tier 😂
I had half the problems here. So he ain't wrong. I refuse to get rid of it but man it has taken me through a lot.
But I'll say it's still fairly reliable if you take the maintenance intervals seriously
2011 malibu 2.4l the biggest issue i had was i need to replace a transmission solenoids because my DA didnt drain the tranny fluid right and under filled but she running A1 now after i fix it , 2nd would be the exhaust manifold but i just gutted and that.fixed from.cracking again... 130kmiles
nah my dad got a 2010 malibu with a dead battery and something i forgot about, but he managed to fix it and runs pretty good
Well he is talking about a 2011 so…
@@Shane_B462008-2012 are pretty much the same
I bought this exact car used. Is it worth the money? I’d say so. Would I buy it again? Definitely not. But I think it’s fine for a cheap daily driver
I own this car as my work car I actually do like this car and it’s easy to work on this car under the hood I’m at 172K miles still rides good
got a 2012 malibu and bought at like 198k and it’s at 232k rn
What is best year for the Malibu
There isn't stay away from these junks
I’ve got a 2012 Malibu with 201k miles on it. It’s still running like a champ!
Bad fuel economy and oh my God I had to change my light headlight literally over 50 times. Finally I change the wires and that seem to help.
Same here😂
My lights are out going out. I check f9r recalls and there was not. Other than that my car is still running nicely at 184,000
@@patriciataylor4595remove your running day light sensor. It’s located in the fuse box under the hood. It was burning my headlight wires each time I replaced it but removing that sensor will help stop that.
This really seems like the perfect NPC car. I swear I see these in gta all the time.
This car doesn't exist in GTA
My mom has this car an lemme tell ya hes not wrong at all😂😂 timing chain went at like 70k then power steering aroun a year later, then the transmission blew at 100k. Suspension’s horrible been replaced once and feels horrible already, and it still has exhaust leak issues after all that😭the car currently only has 105k miles 💀
It always gets in my head
I agree in the seat where is out pretty fast and it’s very uncomfortable. Getting In-N-Out is terrible especially if your delivery driver like me.
That being said, I do take care of it regular maintenance. Most of it. I do myself change the spark plugs every 30 to 40,000 miles change the oil about every 5000 miles and make sure to top it off if it burns and most do my Malibu is up to 160,000 andone’s pretty good.
That being said, it’s had its rough times, but I always address the issue. Sometimes you just have to be patient and let things work itself out.
Have an 09' Malibu LTZ with the 3.6L V-6 with 90,000 rounds. The getaway car
Mine’s won’t let me put it in drive reverse is working when in drive it goes in reverse somebody help me
My transmission went in mine. Only 106,000 miles. I’m getting it fixed
Have had mine for 4 years never a problem
Touch wood I’ve had mine for around six months only problem I have had is my left front tire deflating think it might need to be patched
My mom has a 2012, I believe the timing chain jumped at 120k and now needs an engine rebuild. Hate this car
Mine's got 275k on it. Doing the chain now as preventative maintenance.
You’re the first person I heard to talk shit about the car so far I have not heard about anything I don’t know how long ago was this video so I just purchased a 2011 Chevy Malibu and it has a few little things with the key Farb but that’s pretty much it
In time my friend in time!😂 You dont even KNOW look up how to change a head light😂😂 oh and battery cables are 169 each and has sensors on them oh yah senors on battery cables good luck some advice SELL IT NOWWWWWW IT THE MONEY PIT
3.6 188k moded and runs great
Headlight bulb replacing is terrible and if you try to get it done somewhere it’s estimated around $300 to change ONE bulb 😡
😂😂😂 right lol dumb design I wish I would have look up the car before buying it! Now its almost all new 😂😂 fking ayes who did this needs a slap 😂 5500 and 2000 grand later im still not on the road grrrrr
2010 Malibu LS ride quality ifs fine unless you live somewhere with a lots of bumps and pot holes and if you like me you can hit corners like a dream. I tend to round corners kinda fast and hard which is difficult in my mom Traverse 😂😂😂.
That mpg is 1 off from the Honda accord. That's margin of error. Itd 1 mpg at the end of the day for that result so who cares and the camry wasnt on there so I assume the camry gets worse then that
My baby went until 130k miles, rod bent and that’s a wrap for baby.
I got a 2013 LTZ 2SA now and it’s perfect
2011 this is about the 11z not 13z
I love my Malibu
Везет вам 👍👍👍 отличные тачки, ни то что у нас в россии 🤮
Bruh my 2010 chevy malibu a trooper, I do doordash n sht like that so I use it a lot and rarley have problems with it
90k and the trans is blown up I love this car so much 😂
I like the 2013 Malibu
And abs light and airbag light and air leaks do to the plastic manifold cover crappy wheel bearings sensors 😂😂😂😂
09 lt with the 3.6 and 6 spd. Trim inside didnt line up from the lot, dual tail pipes hung uneven,60k and the trans went out (got the recall letter the day i got home from the shop and still havent been reimbursed), bcu out,ecu out, coolant leaks, oil leaks...spent more time on jacks then on the tires.
Dude, stop treating your car like shit maybe it wouldn’t have so many problems 🤷♂️🖕🏻
I got a 2010 i hate it why tf is it electric power steering not even a foreign shi crazy
Funny because the Malibu has been out selling the competition that is one of the reasons that GM is continuing to sell it to 2031.
Mine is great just have to know when and how to maintain it 😂😂
My Middle School Teacher has this type of Car but she has it on the Color Tan
That ain’t true! I have had a Chevy Malibu for years. It never let me down like others I owned.
Bro im on my third engine!😂😂
Bought a 2012 chevy Malibu had 99k on it and the transmission failed at 169k
More then likely they never changed the transmission oil
@@t0ny2trill I wouldn’t be surprised to be honest everyone sits there and says sealed transmissions don’t need be serviced but they actually do

Good thing mines a 2012🥴😂
@@TonyGarcia-t4s you just missed the mark! Thank goodness!
😂 cheap vato still good on gas filled up 50 and last for almost 2 weeks

Literally everything this guy said is the opposite! I drive 50 miles to work one way. I have neglected my vehicle for the longest but it still gets me to work. Also the body looks really nice on these vehicles. You can tell there was a competent designer.
Bro he’s not cappin
These car are pure ass u fix one thing there be a other a week or month later .. gonna throw my wifes car in the dumpster soon lol..
For real but i put to much $$$$ into it so im gonna have a new car soon hahaha have you changed a headlight yet?? Hahahah good luck you need to take off the dam bumper jack up the car take off the tier and tier wall 😢😢😂 why are chevy makers so dam dumb?
@@Nicole-dj3jf lol not yet the car pure ass I swear just always something wrong with it idk if it's her or the car or both lol...
Same feeling here.
The car for sure.
There's videos that show how to replace the headlight bulbs where you only have to remove a few bolts up top and a couple in the wheel wells. Which keeps you from having to remove the front clip entirely.
