Cons: How would you improve 2008 Chevrolet Malibu?
The 2008 Chevy Malibu we thought was a good car....this thing is a nightmare. It has been in for brakes three times and changed and turned rotors....GM wouldn't cover this.....just went in again for the fourth time...were told that the rotors overheated and has groves...just ignore the problem.????? I had them changed 7000 miles ago!! AC fan didn't work, steering wheel had to be fixed, door locks broke and wouldn't open. I hate to see what next after warranty is done!

I like all aspects of the car. It looks and handles great.

The only problem is a knocking sound just before I come to a stop. Dealer will not acknowledge there is a problem saying it is not loud enough. I do not agree because it is very noticeable.

Pros: What do you like about 2008 Chevrolet Malibu?
I like having a lot of room and the trunk space is great.
Cons: How would you improve 2008 Chevrolet Malibu?
My Malibu is currently at the dealership because of the brakes. I had it in at 11,000 miles and they told me the rotors need resurfaced so they did it. The problem never really resolved and I took it back at 16,000 miles and they are telling me the rotors need resurfaced again. There is obviously a problem that this keeps needing done. The dealership will not take the time to get down to why this keeps happening and it did no good for me to call Chevrolet customer service, they called the dealership and then called me back and told me what the dealership told them.
2008 Chevrolet Malibu Review:
I would love my Malibu if I didn't have so many problems with the service. If they would have fixed it I would have been happy but they keep putting me off.

I bought mine and they were great, been back for service and they were great, the whole team represents GM well. Service Dept manager had someone pick my car up at work and deliver it back, that made me feel special.

Pros: What do you like about 2008 Chevrolet Malibu?
The performance and the fuel savings.
Cons: How would you improve 2008 Chevrolet Malibu?
Use better materials for the interior and give floor matts. That is alot of money to give for a car and then you have to go out and buy floor mats.
