2013 Chevrolet Malibu Wheels Problems

“These problems occurred on paved or concrete city streets. At least once last month and 3 times this month I experienced transient episodes of what I categorize as power steering failure while driving. Three of these times were at reduced speeds less than 20 MPH during a turn and once traveling 65 MPH down a straight section of the highway. On two of the turning events I managed to avoid head on collisions with other vehicles at the intersection/parking entrance. …”

“In the last year, I had to replace, at my own expense, 3 out of the 4 wheel bearing hub assemblies on my 2013 Chevrolet Malibu. There is also a terrible toxic smell coming from the air conditioning and heating vents attributed to the car's evaporator core. Chevrolet has acknowledged these problems, but refuses to make the repairs at their own expense. These issues have never occurred in any vehicle I have ever owned for the last 30 years. Chevrolet must be held responsible before someone is injured, sickened or killed.”

“While driving straight ahead on a city street, at approximately 30-35mph, the axle shaft on the front, right side of the car broke. The broken axle shaft caused an accident where my car went to the right and I hit the back-left side of a van; that impact sent the right side of the car up in the air where I was only traveling on the two left wheels. Although I thought my car was going to flip and land on it's roof, the car did come back down on the right wheels, but landed/hit the front of the van and the back of a pick-up truck.”

“My Malibu started making a strange noise shortly after I passed the 40000 mile mark back in late november of 2016. I thought it might be tires as they were original to the vehicle so I replaced all 4 but the noise was still there. I then went on line to investigate if other Malibu owners were having similar problems. I discovered that there were multiple cases like mine that involved the wheel hub assembly failing on this particular vehicle. I purchased two new rear wheel assembly's and installed them which took care of the problem. …”

“I am the 2nd owner of my 2013 chevy Malibu ltz we bought at 19,000 miles, it has been in the shop more than any car I have had!! When I first got it the wheel bearings went out and not just one they went out one by one at end expenses of $900 at one time at xmas!! It's been running good now, it now has 130,000 miles on it. But from day one the rims have been peeling off they had some coating over it and it's slowly peeling off making my car look really bad!! I called chevy and they refused to give me any replacement rims! Now we are in the process of sand blasting them and painting them. …”
