This vechile was been in the shop a minimum of 9 times. This is the 2nd Malibu that I have owned the first one was in the shop just as much if not more. The Chevrolet dealer traded me out, and upgraded me for no extra money ,but this car is no better thatn the first one. I feel that this the worst car that we have every owned and would tell any one never to buy one. I feel very unsafe in this car. No my steering rack is going and the cv boot is leaking.
