2004 Chevrolet Malibu 4dr Sedan
200-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD
| 71300 mi C $200 |
The right axle was leaking, I saw it wet but condition must have been there for months or even a year, might have been from hitting something. |
| 195000 mi US $200 |
transmission shift cable fracture recall |
| 88000 mi | Leaky transmission pan gasket. |
| 131000 mi | Transmission shuddered and shifted hard between 1st-2nd gears and 3rd-4th gears. My theory is that initial damage was done when a dealer changed the trans fluid at 50K, didn't install the pan gasket correctly, resulting in a long term leak. |
2004 Chevrolet Malibu 4dr Hatch
200-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD
| 179000 mi US $195 |
Replaced leaking transmission pan gasket, filter, and transmission flush |
| 60000 mi US $142 |
Transmission shifting problem, solved by adding transmission fluid and possibly resetting shift points. |
| 119100 mi US $225 |
