Used 2014 Chevrolet Malibu Consumer Reviews
The Car That Made Me Say Never Again to Chevy
I will never buy a Chevy again, and my 2014 Malibu is the reason why. The engineering is downright faulty: Auto Stop: You can’t disable it, which is frustrating enough, but now I’m dealing with a dangerous issue where the car sometimes won’t restart after auto stop engages—no service lights, and even mechanics can’t figure it out. Not restarting at busy intersections is a major safety hazard and should have been recalled. Bluetooth: It connects to my phone for calls but not for media, which is incredibly outdated for a 2014 model. Sensors: Sensors constantly go bad—wheel hub sensor, tire pressure sensors—you name it. They’ve been a headache and are expensive to repair. Maintenance Costs: Keeping this car running has been far more costly than it should be. I hate this car and regret ever buying it. Chevy has lost me as a customer for life. If you’re considering a Malibu, I strongly recommend looking elsewhere—this one’s junk.

Great car,I’m just breaking 100,000 miles.Engine light is on because of my trunk battery not sure why it might be time for a new battery.It still rides smooth and it’s great on gas.

Feeling of luxury
I've had a 2014 Chevy Malibu LT for six years and LOVE it. It feels high end and luxurious on the inside, drives smooth, and has a large trunk for a sedan. We're looking to trade it in only because we now have two children and need more space for all their stuff when we travel. The drivers seat material has started to crack recently (within the last year). Cons: can't turn off the auto stop feature, sometimes the whole car will restart when autostop shuts off (radio restarts etc), car will leave autostop when I don't move at all, I haven't found an easy way to pop the trunk when key is in the ignition, and there's no button for the trunk on the interior of the car. I keep saying I will miss my car so much when I trade it in and I know I will!

Worst cars ever
This is by far the worst car I’ve ever owned. After 70,000 miles it went from bad to worse. New fuel pump. New alternator timing belts went to crap. Oh and to top it all off my transmission crapped out on me after 107000 miles. My advice? Steer clear of this car and all new chevys fords and anything that’s American. Go with Honda and Toyota or Kia much much better and easy to service hardly any problems. My two cents. Take it as you want

No Feul Economy
The car consumes a lot and I have complained about it to GM several times but it was not useful. Although I drive most of the times on highways with a lot of care not to consume a lot the MPG is all the time around 25 which is a catastrophe. The quality and every this looks fine except the fuel economy. I also do not feel comfortable and safe drive on snowy weather and several times I was going to slid out of the road although I was driving with 30 miles per hour speed. The car also lacks a lot compared with its competing models' even the basic models. Overall I believe the Chevy has done a perfect job with a lot of parts of the car, but I guess these issues pushes the car down the ranking chart.
