2010 Chevrolet Malibu 4dr Sedan
252-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
| 28000 mi | Continue to have vibration. Dealer thought it was due to bad tires after force balancing. So two tires replaced. Dealer said they have 3 other cars with same issue, so now waiting on GM rep to assist hopefully within the next week or so. |
| 49700 mi | Had loud humming noise coming from left front wheel. Turned out to be bad outer hub bearing. Dealer at first tried to charge me for repair; but I challanged it and was covered under warranty. |
| 52000 mi | Continue to have vibration that starts 52MPH. Had been doing better since dealer replaced tires about 6 months ago. But vibration started back after tires were rotated. But dealer now can't find source of vibration. About like it was before. |

I bought new tires and shop found drivers-side ball joint (part of lower control arm assembly) had significant play. So with leaving town, I had to have it replaced at the tire store and not take it back to the dealer. |
| 86000 mi | Vibration around 55 mph never permanently fixed. |
| 17000 mi | the steering rack was replaced due to bushings/gears wearing out at the point that the steering shaft and front rack are joined. |
