Started in Jan (about 6 weeks ago) - bucking when it shifts in overdrive. Very intermittent at first - then became more regular. The tech that drove it where I get my car serviced said it did it 5-6 times in the test drive. They sent me to a transmission shop. The trans fluid was black like motor oil & had particles in it. Simply changing the fluid would not work! Had to rebuild the trans at 95,000 miles! That is ridiculous.
There is a "tech board" in the trans that also was recommended to replace - bad design I was told. When I first walked into the trans shop they said they do a lot of 2010 Malibu's - very poor design and cheap transmission. Even laughed about how many websites are dedicated to Malibu complaints. I had been very pleased with my Malibu until now. We are a dedicated Chevy family but I don't believe we'll get another Chevy. I'll get an 18 month 18,000 miles warranty on the rebuild - I think I'll look at Subaru... I'm very disappointed with Chevy... Poor warranty and poor design...
