2016 Chevrolet Malibu Premier 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 8A)

I really like the Chevy Malibu, and would have easily rated the vehicle 4+ stars except for the issues that I had with the vehicle. First maybe the old adage about not purchasing the first year of a new model. I find the 2016 Malibu Premier to be a beautiful vehicle, with all the trim is really an excellent value. My issues were that the third brake light leaked so had to replace two headliners, gear shift had an issue where it didn't recognize that it was in park, valve cover had to be replaced for some unknown reason. Aside from those issues, the car is overall a nice buy.

Unsafe! Didn’t have car for two months before serious problems started arising. While on the highway the engine light popped on and a message popped up stating that engine speed was reducing. It didn’t gradually happen it happened immediately! I was almost rear ended because of this. General Motors knows of Of this issue and has yet to fix it! I have to get the entire gas pedal replaced. The gas pedal should last the life of the vehicle. We use to buy Chevys all the time sad to say this will be my last Chevy.

If you need a reliable vehicle don't buy, has less than 30,000 miles on it and a lot of computer problems, engine knocking, auto stop stutters between on off at a stop light like it's not sure what to do. It's at the dealership right now for the second time this month. I've owned this car a month bought certified pre owned. if you want something you can sit in and impress your neighbors by keeping up with the Jonas's and not leave your driveway get it.
