If u know about it cars these problems are cheap n easy to fix ..way less of headache when compared to other vehicles prices for their factory malfunctions

2014 malibu LTZ Turbo 2.0L, i think this video just saved me a lot of money 🫶🏻 i would like to also add, CHECK YOUR NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLES!!

Did the camshaft sensors. But the weird one was the anti freeze plastic tank reservoir developed a pin hole leak. The door handles on inside the chrome pealed off and cuts fingers and now the reverse camera just quit, other than that the car has been great

I used to have to replace my fuel solenoid once per year until I started adding Lucas fuel system cleaner every 6 months. Been 4 years and no gas pedal lag or hesitation.

Bought a used 2013 Malibu LTZ 2.5 with 45k miles for $8000 last week, only issue is the leather seat cracked exactly as shown in the video other than that the car runs perfect, saving this video for down the line if I ever need it

That’s spot on I’ve had to deal with at least half of these issues

Look, I have worked at dealerships since the mid 70’s, and as the EPA, CARB & sometimes the DOT require high fuel economy and engineers receive a bible of these requirements up to 4-5 years before taking effect. Every manufacturer has older engineers retire as younger inexperienced folk replace them. There is not one car, truck, Ute, cross-over that doesn’t have 3, 4 or 5 things go bad. It generally happens during warranty! 5,000hrs on a car is 150k miles. Lighter, thinner, cheaper, global and yes, everyone gets parts from around the world and big, small and Canada/Mexico in the mix. TBS are quoted here, not recalls. Parts that fail in high volume are called back for non-destructive and destructive failure analysis. A second design is issued. Here is the “RUB”. Aftermarket want a chunk of action, but they copy the original part with minor changes because of copyright infringement. But aftermarket shops are sold these parts. Not better, the ones that failed! Go to the dealer as they go online by VIN and problem, get a “Second Design” part…problem gone. Change oil & fluids. Use the correct stuff as 13 ATF versions fit one brand, not 13! This is filling wiper bottle with water in Florida, then job changes and you are in South Dakota. It will freeze but I am sure you have other things on your mind, like staying warm!

I think the most common problem is p0171 or lean code due to vacuum leak which can also give u code p2091 and p0300(misfire). Replacing maf airflow sensor will help some but most likely the culprit will be intake manifold gasket needs replacement but not before u check any hose leak with a smoke leak test. Fixing that leak p0171 most likely fix p2091 air/fuel mixture(getting more air than car actually needs). If u don't want to spend big money on a smoke machine then diy the cheap way. Buy a Mason jar $1,baby oil $1 buy a soldering gun $4 both and air pump with 2 rubber line$6 both at harbor freight. Make 3 holes on the Mason jar cap 1 for the soldering gun, 2 for the 2 tubing line 1 that goes to the hand pump and the other to the brake booster hose. Put some rags inside the Mason jar and pour in baby oil in it. Close the lid and let it warm up and u have ur smoker. Advice disconnect hose where the filter and maf sensor is and place a latex glove over the air hose. U don't want the smoke to get to the sensor(too sensitive)

Wow I’ve had most of these issues

Great video I literally replace 5 things u listed

Have a 2013 2.5 l had the instrument panel and wheel bearing issues plus air bag light

My Seat cracked just like in the video... amazing. Anyone else dealing with a coolant leak 150K plus miles, as well as engine combusting the oil?(100K)

Thanks that help me make my decision.

Thanks my car has been saying engine reduced power for months as soon as I hit the petal

I’m confident my 2015 2.5L is experiencing number 6 but I’ve got significantly more miles than most of y’all. 167,000 miles that is

02:15 Happened on my 2014 Malibu, and also my tmps sensor on my rear passenger side tire is going in and out

Mines barely 57k miles and it's leaking...found out just now

2015 Chevy Malibu 2LTZ Seems like I’ve lost power. Anything that’s helps? I tuned up using ac delco plugs.

We have had the failed cam shaft position solenoids, premature water pump leak, and ripped leather seats on her 2015. No big deal. Every car has problems and its going to be 10 years old soon.

I was expecting more electrical, but here we are

I’ve been having (engine reduce power) engine light code for oil pressure sensor come on can’t seem to find the problem

Alot of these were problems with 2013,2014 malibu. GM fixed alot of these issues by 2015 model malibu.

Need a recall on these, chevy used to be #1 in reliability

The rocker control solenoid code 2646

Anyone had trouble with their car not wanting to shift up into 2nd or 3rd. I have a 2015 Malibu LT and barely 70's miles on it. It only does it sometimes but I want to fix before it tears up. One owner vehicle and I tested at AutoZone with a code tester and it shows that my shift solenoid #2 is stuck open and I think #5 may be stuck closed, or visa versa. I am just almost due for the 75,000 transmission fluid flush, filter and refill service. Has anyone else been through this?

Bought my 2013 malibu with 69k miles, no issues until now @ 120k...bad water pump.

2013 starts drives good for 10-15 mins then messes up dosent want to shift loss of power and dies overall underivable any fixs

Anyone have the gears feel like they drop down while driving 20 to 35 mph plz help

this is all true

2014 with 267k miles just change the water pump and now the transmission acting up

Vehicle ownership. Is. A. Bad joke.

Plz give me guide.. cher malibu 2013 model. please give me GM complaint section do i csn seek advice. It is a good car. but need advice from GM in order to rectify this problem..I live in Brunei. South East Asia.

Anybody get their key stuck in ignition and lose all power, including power locks when it goes below 40 degree Fahrenheit?

I'm having a issue with service power steering drive with care anybody can help me

At lest 5 of these are true o my 13 Malibu with less than 60k.

(1)Yup my water pump went bad the other day had gotten it fix.. (2)when starting my car it’s a loud grind nose it doesn’t happen all the time but when it does it very annoying sometimes the car will not start until I remove the key put it back in to start the car I took it to cable Dahmer an other car shops around town they said my starter is fine no codes have showed up. SMH

the list ain't that bad I have a 2015 and didn't hear him say anything about 2015 he mainly says 2013

Another thing. 2013 malibus are stalling & not many people or shops knows what's causing the stalling.

‘13 2.5, cam solenoids, most of the wheel bearings, thermostat and temp sensors. All before 100k and of course after warranty. Rear screw type calipers are pure crap. Pretty much single use garbage. Otherwise solid.

My shifter is keeping my key to get stuck in the ignition. From what I suspected

My TCM failed at 172 000 KM . Transmission Control Sensor . Code P0700

This car is a horrible investment and design. Water pump replaced at 30k, rear hub replaced at 40k, cam selonoid replaced at 45k, stop start "technology" works in new york only lol, seats were ripping and breaking down within 20k. Evap leak code constantly, replaced gas cap twice, when sitting in passenger seat the whole dashboard and radio shuts down while driving so we lose the mph's and eveything and comes back on sometimes. The car looks nice but what a piece of ish in my opinion!
