Junk, Junk, Junk! This is just one of the 5 steering/suspension parts that were replaced several times in the first 1 1/2 year and over 14 trips to the dealer for repair - problems continue with out any resolve.... GM's warranty and extended warranty is not worth the paper printed on. Now at 50,000 miles it needs front ball joints and rear struts, per the dealer, but GM ststes " there is nothing wrong with the ball joints or struts and GM will not cover any repairs". Power steering vibrates left and right frequently when car is started and at ties while driving! The power steering motor and steering column have been replaced once, GM not doing it again. A GM Customer Assistance Rep admitted that GM has problems with the Malibu. Consequently, they gave me an extended warranty; too bad it does not cover the problems because GM is now Stating when the dealer calls for repair authorization " there is no problem whit the car". DON'T Buy one! I have just traded this one after waiting 5 weeks of for GM's zone manager's to deny the repair - even with the extended warranty in writing! It is a real shame that my and your tax dollar went to bail out GM. This vehicle just squeaks, bangs and creeks as it goes down the road waiting for one of the front ball joints to fail. May GM fail.
