You can try any GM dealer or try Chevrolet customer service.

It isn't a bad car, but the build quality and reliability are classic Chevy (i.e. mediocre). If you can find one for a steal, not a bad buy, but there are many better cars on the market.

A Honda Accord or Mazda 6 of the same year will do everything a Malibu will, with a more engaging driving experience, better fit & finish, looks, and reliability.

Little late to the post, but I hate mine. Can’t stand it. Got it brand new. I’ve had it for about 3 years (80k Miles) and have put an average of $1k in it per year. I don’t drive like a maniac but I’m no grandma either.

I’ve had to put on all new brakes and I just put in a new thermostat. The coolant system has been faulty from the start. Going to sell this car as soon as I fix it up.

Maybe I just got bad luck, but there always seems to be something wrong with it.
