Our 2004 Maxx LT recently passed the 130k mile marker. Still going strong, still getting basically the same fuel economy as when it was new -- 28mpg in mixed driving -- even though the Check Engine light has been on for a month or two indicating a catalytic converter problem. Everything still works, except the antenna which I accidentally snapped off during a cold winter day. Showing some wear and tear in places, but that is to be expected. Overall, we continue to be very pleased with this car.

Replying to: pao (Jun 11, 2009 6:08 pm)  . Only problem with the cars is with the breaks and disks. It is on its fourth set. I changed them first under warranty and then once more at the Chevy dealer. Since then, I have replaced them at Pep Boys that gives you the best warranty. Otherwise it is running very well and it looks brand new. I am very sorry that they have discontinued it. It beat the design of the Versa by five years. GM, you have lost on a good thing by not promoting the Maxx.

Replying to: nickyv123 (Mar 13, 2009 8:31 am) I thought I had a thermostat problem myself. i was out for drive, nothing to heavy 80KM or so and temperature gauge fell to the cold line and the electric blower fans came on and stayed on. I too thought it was a Thermostat issue, since I used to replace them on my 1985 Pontiac. However, the thermostat on newer vehicles is differnt than that of older cars. It was said to me that, if the thermostat failed the entire engine would have seized. After that weekend drive, it never happend again, and the temerature gauge worked fine. however, my wife was recenlty in a front end collision and the Insurance Co wrote off the vhicle. But, good news, every one was fine and we replaced the O4 maxx, with you guessed it another MAXX. Anyhow, verify this with your mechanic. But after hearing that, I was satifsied that I didn;t have a thermostat problem. Also, yes the Refill is that resorvoir rear-center-rightish of the engine bay. |

| I have a 2006 Malibu Maxx ( love it). One issue I have is vibration when I am applying my brakes. I am having the brake pads and rotars replaced this Friday. However, when I turn a corner, sometimes I hear a pop and somewhat feel it in the steering wheel column. I don't get all the time. I have had it checked out 3 times. The first garage (Bell Tire) said I had a bad ball joint (but so did 5 other people in the waiting room). This past March I had new tires put on and had the mechanic check the front ball joints and he said they were fine. I had another garage tell me the ball joints were fine as well. Questions: I have 85,000 plus miles, would a ball joint be bad? Is it a common defect of the Malibu to have front end issues? I've talked to other Malibu owners and it seems some of the issues I have are common among the other Malibu owners. | |
