Just brought this car with 151000 miles. Little high but figured if previous owner kept up maintenance like they said then would be ok for a little while considering seemed to be a reasonable deal. Had for 5 days and already to dealership to find out multiple problems. After reading reviews some of these should be recalled such as power steering gear, serp belt needs replacing, remote intermittently works and few times problems with starting. Other problems include replacing oil pan gasket and side mirror switch. I am so dissapointed and to make matters worse the dealership is really high on labor. The mirrors and remote key is not a big issue but the other problems can be safety concerns!!!
Disappointing

Bought after 2005 models introduced and got an excellent price. Loved it for the 1st couple of years until things started to fail. CD player failed on way home from the dealership. Replaced, but failed again in 2 years. Power steering and drivers seat frame failed. Although same steering failures covered under extended warranty for some VIN's, Chevy made us pay for more than half of cost. Rear seat reclining levers broke, fuse problems, both remote controls broke.

People write about their car generally within the first few months of ownership. I had written about this car previously. Well and update, I have had the car 4 years and love it. The head rest is a little stiff unlike my 2008 Pontiac Grand Prix or 2000 Olds Intrigue, but I love this vehicle. It has excellent acceleration. Has held up very well. I am very pleased with my purchase, still 4 years later.
old red rates 4 to 5

This vehicle has been extremely reliable with out a single breakdown.It has been very good as a cargo hauler and a main car.this red malibu maxx lt was cheap to buy,cheap to maintain and gets about 28 miles to the gallon over all.I have put 79000 miles on it in 51/2 years.It has many nice features and runs and drives well.I hope to get another 2 years on it and maybe another 20000 to 25000 miles on it.this car still runs and drives well I hope it continues .It has been an exceptional buy.It has abs brakes traction control heated seats garage door opener and more and everything works.It has been a great buy so far as I only paid 6000 dollars for it.It was almost flawless inside and out when I bought it.The left rear rocker panel was damaged when I got a flat tire on the freeway.It would have cost 800 dollars to fix so I decided I would just drive it till it dies and just get by as cheap as possible.

I have this car since jan 2004, I never had any serious problem, the mileage per gallon is excellent. I drove this car at 60 miles per hour on a wet snow condition, the traction control were impressive, never swerved.
