We purchased a 2009 Malibu from Bradshaw, Greer, SC. It was a completely satisfactory experience. The dealership was very clean and neat. Sally Hartz, the sales person was delightful to work with.   All in all at 10 all the way around. Replies to this message: vanman1 (May 31, 2009 5:21 pm)

#4901 of 4908 Concerns about how GM Bankruptcy will affect you? by bwia Jun 02, 2009 (4:00 am)
For those of us who have concerns about how the GM bankruptcy will affect us in terms of warranties, recalls, rewards program, parts and resale value let me refer you to http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/02/your-money/02consumer.html?ref=business   This New York Times article is written in an easy to understand question and answer format and addresses most of the corncerns one may have. Here is an example:   Q. My OnStar contract is up for renewal in a few weeks. What is the effect of the G.M. bankruptcy on On-Star? — Ellen, Palos Park, Ill.   A. G.M. says that there will be no impact on OnStar service, and that subscriptions will remain in place. Given that this service is, arguably, one of the best products of any sort that the company has come up with in the last decade or two, there’s little chance that it’s going away or changing much.

Replying to: cpete1993 (Jan 18, 2009 6:30 am) I have the same noise that starts at 40 mph and I replaced tires also. The car has 54,000 miles and I still have the noise. Did you get yours solved? If so, please post results. Replies to this message: cpete1993 (Jul 22, 2009 1:26 pm) rbnelson (Jul 23, 2009 4:45 am) pao (Jul 24, 2009 4:12 am)

Replying to: rbnelson (Jul 22, 2009 5:18 am) Well I found out it was some bearings worn on one of the arms on the front end. They replaced the arm and the noise went away. The mechanic said that the car would have run fine with the noise, but it was too much for me, so I let them replace it. I can't remember the proper name for the part, but they changed it in about 30 min.   Hope this helps. Replies to this message: rbnelson (Jul 23, 2009 4:45 am) pao (Jul 24, 2009 4:12 am)

Replying to: cpete1993 (Jul 22, 2009 1:26 pm) I found out mine was the front passenger side wheel bearing, a $350.00 repair at the dealer. Replies to this message: pao (Jul 24, 2009 4:12 am)

Replying to: rbnelson (Jul 23, 2009 4:45 am) unfortunately the malibu uses a sealed hub..thus you have to replace the entire assembly vice repack the bearings like you use too.....prices range from $125 to $200 for the assembly based on the manufacturer and aftermarket source....then labor on top...and a wheel alignment as well.....
#4906 of 4908 Help: Malibu Maintenance Question by sean74 Aug 13, 2009 (4:02 pm)
I have a 2005 Malibu about 48k miles. Chevy dealer told me that I need transmission flush, induction service, and mass air flow cleaning. Here is the price list,    Transmission flush: $206 Induction service: $154 MAFC:$88.    Are those service necessary, are those prices reasonable??? Thank you very much for your advice.

Replying to: sean74 (Aug 13, 2009 4:02 pm) My friend I would get a second opinion. Why would you need a transmission flush with only 48K miles? I have 93k miles on my 2006 Malibu and have never had ANY of those things done to it. And the car runs great.   Is your car running bad or something? I'll take it to someone else before I shell out that kind of cash.   That's just my opinion though. Cedric
#4908 of 4908 Brake Pad Issue by sean74 Aug 14, 2009 (12:47 pm)
I just changed rear brake pads of my 2005 Malibu. As of today I have changed rear pads twice. One at 22k, and toady at 48k. I was very upset.   I bought it in August 2005. In November 2007, I changed rear pads because one of a pair completely worn out while others looked like new. Chevy dealer didn’t explain what was wrong. I strongly suspected that something was wrong. Today, they told me that it needs change again because they are almost worn out. For safety reason I changed them. But they still did not give me a satisfying explanation. They just told me it is normal.   Thank you very much for your advice on this matter.
