I purchased this car with 14,444 miles after 500 miles I took the car to the dealership. This car was taken back to chevy and they could not find the problems after 7 tries. I than took the car to the Chrysler dealership and all they did was set in the car and found out that my rack-n-opinion was bad. This was replaced but, the hub bearings had to be replaced also at another dealership, I am having whining noise when I turn and also the car is wearing out tires. There has been 3 tires replaced on this car with 1 year. No one wants to fix my car or replace it. This car is not safe for me or other drivers on the road. If I could afford to buy another car, I would. L am so disappointed with gm products. This is my 4 car with gm and I am never going to buy another car. I am not the only customer that is having problems with the 2010 Malibu.

Wheel hub bearings - since I bought the 2003 Malibu new in January 203 I had to replace the wheel hub bearing 4 times, once under warranty with gm parts at 27,918 on 4/20/04 right side), again right side with after market parts at 47,876, left side with after market parts at 48,769 on 5/3/05, and right side with after market parts at 83,197 on 4/17/07. With so many failures I believed therewas either an inherit design flaw or possible latent defect of the front end.
