Used 2007 Chevrolet Malibu Consumer Reviews
Done with chevy
I've always been a Chevy guy, but i think its time to switch. At only 60,000 miles the dreaded power steering clunk that all malibus are having showed up, the exhaust is leaking very bad , the rattle noise in the dash is driving me nuts, you cannot open the rear windows over 30 mph because the rear panel under the rear window starts to rattle, need i say more . GM says there are no recalls on these issues . Ok who decides to issues a recall? They need to take care of these problems . I dumping this joke , heading to the ford dealership soon. good luck chevy . give me a call next time you need a bailout . NOT
I will never buy one again
I had the car 2 weeks when the passenger airbag sensor went bad. Then the gas gauge stopped working not long after that, then the engine light started coming on also sensor on the power steering started going bad, this car is a piece of junk.
These cars are crap!
So I paid 2700 for a chevy Malibu with 92,000 miles on it. The car was great .... For the first week. after the first week I started having cranking problems and overheating issues. The passenger air bag sensor is ofcourse faulty. The radiator, heater coil, AND the water pump had to be fixed a week after purchasing. I am not happy with chevy. Also, changed the thermostat and the NEW thermostat was faulty!!!! not a good purchase.

Death trap & money pit
This is a horrible car. Not long after I bought it, the steering rack had to be replaced (ended up being replaced 4x in under a year). I had to replace the sway bars and the brake pads were warped - keep in mind this was all at 30k-40k miles. Even better? At 63k miles, the engine light came on because the thermostat was broken. Also, in 1 month, I received 2 recalls - one has to do with the brakes, the other has to do with the transmission. In 5.5 yrs, I put almost $2500 in keeping this thing running. I recently traded it off for a foreign car. Thanks for the solid work, GM!
Decent Car
Purchased used 2 years ago. Has been reliable. Has been mostly glitch free.
