My husband and I own a 2017 Malibu and it is always in the shop. My husband just got it out of the shop and ten minutes later the check engine light came back on. We always had troubles with the Malibu’s. It is a good car with gas however the car only have 60k on it. I’m scared when the warranty runs out.. it is gonna cost an arm and a leg. If you wanna charge so much for a car make the car come with non faulty parts.

I have had a 2016 Chevrolet Maliby Hybrid for now about 3 Years. The Car still runs very well (80K miles) and yes the Gas milage is awesome with avarage about 43mpg. It runs 600 miles with about 14 Gallons of regular Gas. This car is a technical well excuted and surprisingly smooth in trasitioning between e-drive and gas engine on and off. Also the breaking system goes smooth between regenerative system to breaking. The car so far had no issues or repair requirments. They also have a less frequent oil intervall than regular gas models due to the motor been engaged lass than the normal versions. Only negative of this and mostly other hybrids it has a smaller trunk. So if you plan to haul around a lot of luggage often, then this might not work. So if this is you commuter car then you either go by the gas pumps most of the time or stop only for coffe or a drink. And the update after three years? GM will not produce this Hybrid version anymore. Seriously?? Ok I guess I have to buy the Honda on my next Hybrid. Sorry GM!

I bought my 2017 Chevy Malibu hybrid new in 2018 in Dawsonville, Ga. I debated on sealing the deal since it was my first big purchase. The rep kept calling and eventually knocked off a nice chunk of change for me to say yes. I assume he just wanted it off the lot since it was a rural town with little interest in hybrid sedans. With my luck, the service light came on in 2020 right when covid shut down Atlanta for two weeks. Appointments at the local dealership were scheduling a month out. I finally got it looked at and the “whole computer” had to be replaced. Luckily it was still under warranty. August of 2021 the check engine light came back on and I was told that the part I need would take up to 6 months for the manufacture to make and send out. After no response from Chevrolet about the ridiculous wait time, I took it to two other shops and was refused work on it due to it being a hybrid. Now it’s back in the dealership, it’s been a month, and the technician has no idea what’s wrong with it. They say it has something to do with the wiring but my concern is if the technician that has been trained in these specific company cars and can’t find out the problem, who can? They say they are talking with GM about it, but that may just be all talk to give them more time. Am I stuck with a 15k loan on a car that is not fixable? It’s crazy that a car that’s not the first, not the last of its kind, under 100k mileage and has been driven for three and a half years can’t be fixed by the company who made it.

I just bought my hybrid 2 weeks ago and Love it. I took a 2 hr drive and my highest MPG was 50 and with high winds on the way home was 39 MPG. Drives smooth, quiet and has power. I got this car to replace my VW diesel and I'm not disappoint at all.

I have driven a Malibu hybrid for 6,000 miles & I can tell you this car is impressive - Well done GM. I have owned BMW, Audi, Toyotas, and Hondas. This car is quiet, comfortable, tastefully designed, both interior & exterior. The only flaw I have found with this car is at Winter it blows clod air when the engine is shut off - I believe it is a characteristic of hybrid design. I average 40-41 mpg, and I drive normally. If you are willing to be easy on the gas, I believe you can average about 45 mpg.
