DANGEROUS CAR!
Do not risk your life or your passengers' buying a 2018 Malibu, or any Chevy. With no warning at all my check engine light and traction lights came on and I could not go more than 20 miles an hour! I could have been killed or caused a vehicle pile up. Unknown to me, this is a widespread Chevy defect. I dread driving this car.

POS!!! DON'T BUY IT!!
The car looks awesome! Has some great features that helps a single mom. The price was very affordable. Brought with 33,000 miles. I have only had it for 2 months now it's going into limp mode! The message says Reducing power to engine! I joined the fb Malibu group just to see what others have to say. Basically problems start around 35,000 miles if you lucky to get past 15,000!! Also the value has dropped tremendously!! Pos!!

Do not purchase-in shop more than on the road
I bought my 2018 Malibu new in September of 2018. I have had nothing but issues with this car. Rattles underneath, fixed. Battery dead, replaced. It has been in the shop so many times for the acceleration issues with many of the times being told nothing they could do since it was not doing it for them. Finally the engine light came on and it showed to replace the exhaust camshaft actuator solenoid, done, problem not fixed but again no engine light, 2 weeks later engine light again, and I told the service department this car is going to kill me. Code showed to replace the intake actuator, done and did not fix anything engine again came on(a few more tries for the fix that did nothing), GM finally gave permission for the repair the tech had been telling them. Replaced my cylinder head complete with cams. This was done 9.5.19 and now 12.19.19 another engine light with reader error P0303, cylinder 3 misfire. Why does Chevy keep making this car with the same issues year after year? I can understand why there has been so many class action lawsuits with this car. I called Chevy customer service and basically got well take it to the dealership and see what they say. I guess this is what I get for continuing to purchase American Cars!

Giving Chevy a try again !!!
No snow so have not tested , transmission jerky at times when slowing , start/stop takes getting use to (not sure it can be turned off ... comfort / ride & room awesome ... blue-tooth connects quickly , radio has good sound , ... AC works great but vents could be better placed. Loving it so far but too early to see if it holds up the way a Chevy used to (I hope so) Grew up a Chevy guy so excited to give therm a try again ... Overall Happy with my purchase.
