Thank god my 2LTZ 2.0t hasn’t had any major recalls.
You have to admit that rear end looks pretty darn good! Especially with a spoiler like mine!
I have had too many problems out of my 2016 Malibu LT 1.5. I have taken my car into several Chevrolet companies but no one can diagnose it. My start stop constantly start back up and continue turning over. I can’t shut my car off or move it. Then if I just let it go it eventually stop. Very scary because it happened on a main highway. I have reach out to the CEO of GM, they don’t give a dam. I was told they would give me a follow up call and no one called. Like I said they made these cars and don’t know how to repair them. I have had plenty issues with this car. I’m a Chevy girl but after this Malibu, it’s time to switch up. Shoulda read all the bad reviews before purchasing this lemon!
