I just had my first problem with a sensor and had to go to the dealership to get it repaired properly. Two years and no problems until now.

Although this car is good on gas,there seem to be problems early on.The water pump,camshaft,BATTERY went after only 4years old!! I'm not done paying on this car and has already cost me $400 dollars to fix.These cars are not easy to fix at home and has to be taking in to local shop. Just as I got 60,000 miles the car started to have engine problems. Too expensive to keep fixing on.I wonder what is next?

After reading the professional reviews on this car I was hesitant to buy one. I took several mid size cars for a drive and actually found the Malibu to be quite comfortable and responsive, the price was also competitive. I have a little over 3000 miles on mine now and I am very glad I made that choice.

Its a real awesome car , people talk bad about it for some reason , they say go with toyota or honda when they dont realize every car will give you problems , it is how you take care of your car. This LT model is amazing and drives smooth , interior beats any car i have driven and has a sexy look to it . the 2014 model is also a nice aggressive looking model i love them all!!!!!!

2013 Malibu LTZ Review

2013 Chevrolet Malibu LTZ 4dr Sedan w/2LZ (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6A)

This has been a great car. With one exception, it has been the most comfortable, reliable car we ever owned, and that includes Hondas, VWs, Fiat, Fords, a Pontiac, and Olds and a Renault.. Unfortunately that one thing is the engine. It had to be replaced around 39,000 miles. Not rebuilt, but replaced due to a spark plug issue that went wild. It did not leave us stranded, but there were warnings.Chevrolet replaced the engine and provided a loaner. No other repairs have been required and the car now has 83,000 miles.

NO SPARE TIRE!

Having my 2013 Malibu for 3 months now, my only problem is that the car comes with NO SPARE / SPACE SAVER TIRE. No where in the the brochure or window sticker did it say you get an air pump. Nor did the sales rep say anything. When I realized there was nothing in the pit I went back to the dealer and was told that I could by a space saver, jack and tools for $500-. GM Customer Support say sorry: all you get is an air pump and Roadside Assistance. If you've ever had a blow out or a tire damaged by road debris, a pump is useless; and no, I don't care to wait hours for roadside. GM needs to wise up and and give the customer the option!

2013 Chevrolet Malibu Eco 4dr Sedan w/Premium Audio (2.4L 4cyl gas/electric hybrid 6A)

I picked this car up to be my wife's everyday driver - love it, the stop/start feature is great going back and forth to work every day in bumper to bumper traffic - she's got a little over 5k miles on it so far and she's be averaging 32 mpg combined, took it on one reasonably long trip and got 39 mpg - the 2.4 ecotec was one of Wards 10 best engines - car is very quiet, zero wind noise, even at highway speeds - however, the low rolling resistance tires pronounce road noise, that being said, it's still more quiet than any other vehicle in the segment
HUGE MISTAKE

After having my 1996 Honda Accord from 2013 until December 2020 when I was hit head-on - I had to borrow a vehicle to get to and from work. As frugal as I try to be even though I am only 27, I knew it was time to find my 2nd car so I began the painful process of car searching. 30+ trips to different dealerships and a few private owned, I finally came across this one. 2013 Chevy Malibu LT Eco Tec. 81,000 miles for $13,000.00. I had done quite a bit of research and even told the salesman I NEED a reliable car that will last, be good on gas and have enough space to haul my big dogs around. They showed me this car and I was in LOVE. Such a big step up from my old Honda Accord. I bought it on Saturday April 24, 2021. Fast forward to 3 days later April 28, 2021, it starts dying out while stopped in a period of 30 minutes, it did it 7 times. First few times it just turned off but then it would start shaking a lot and acted like it was going to die out until it finally did. I was so happy and proud for 3 days. WOW... I love Chevy, my Dad's 2004 Silverado is still going strong and since he passed, I always dreamed of having a Chevy too. The dealership has the Malibu now and are supposedly going to fix it but after reading more into this, it seems Chevy completely missed the mark with this car. I think I will cut my losses and get my hard earned $$$ back. I have saved up for almost a decade and this is what I get. I am so discouraged and do not know how I am going to trust another dealership or the one I purchased it from ever again. 2013 Chevy Malibus are LEMONS!!!!
Miss my (quiet) 2009 Malibu LS

2013 Chevrolet Malibu LS 4dr Sedan (2.5L 4cyl 6A)

I agree that my 2013 is all around much improved on than my traded 2009 LS. I have to say I am let down since I was anticipating a quiet cabin ride as all the auto site reviewers have endorsed. Well, I am not experiencing the "quiet" in my new malibu. I have a annoying vibration/buzz that presents itself when in low gear/ between gears but faithfully dissapears when I accelerate. Did'nt notice this during test drive otherwise I would of hung on to my 2009 Malibu!
Built American at it's Best!

I can only find a couple things I would do differently with this car which are include a full size spare with the same alloy wheel that's on the car, and include fog lights on all the models. Now let me start by expressing how much I love this car. I love this car! Chevrolet hit the ball out of the park on the 2013 Malibu. This car looks really great, I get compliments all the time. The car is so quiet inside when being driven, he handles very well, pretty good acceleration too. The fit and finish in this car with the blue accent lighting allows me to really relax at night and enjoy the ride!
