My 2013 Malibu 2LT is having a major issue that can cause a serious accident.. The steering and all electronics shut down while I'm driving. The motor remains running but all electronics shut completely down. The dealer won't fix this issue and I will put the biggest lawsuit on Chevy if I get into an accident

Yes...at 2333 miles ya'll! I was in the middle of 5pm traffic in Little Rock, AR and when I went to make a left turn at a VERY busy intersection, my BRAND NEW 2013 Malibu would go NO WHERE! Luckily I was less than about 100 ft from the dealership where I "leased" it.. Long story short...being it was a lease, it went BACK! ASAP!!! I dont know if anyone else has yet to have this horrible experience yet, but I can definitely feel yet another recall coming on for these cars... I loved that car too!!

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.

**2013** Chevy Malibu

I don't know about the 2021 Malibu; I can tell you about the 2013 2LT model. Unless Chevy execs have totally undermined this car to move people into more expensive (unnecessary) SUVs, then potential buyers of this car will love it. For 2013, it was built on a Cadillac chassis, bringing a smooth ride, as smooth today as it was 8 years ago. The interior THEN used very good, soft materials, and the 2013 model featured extra windshield and door soundproofing, adding to the quietness within the cabin. Gas mileage never reached advertised MPGs, but that is really my only complaint. If the 2021 model comes anywhere close to the 2013 model, this car is a steal at an even higher price.

I traded in my 2006 Jeep Laredo for a 2013 Malibu. I was skeptical in the beginning as I'd never owned a Chevy and hadn't owned a sedan since my Honda Accord over 15 years ago. I was seeking something that was fuel efficient (better than my Jeep, which was horrible), that looked good, durable, and didn't hurt my pocketbook. As a teacher and single mom with two kids remaining in my budget is essential. This car does it for me. I love the look, the smooth ride, and my monthly payment. My kids love it as well! Even though I've only had my new car for three days, I can already see that I will be saving on gas. Oh and love the automatic start button!
