Common with the 2.4 liter motor water pump. The wheel bearings in many of Chevys cars are probably made in China, Like other vehicle manufacturers have been using,

Well, I can't complain about my 2015 Malibu with the 297 HP 2.5 liter NON-TURBOCHARGED engine. Haven't even had any issues with the Direct Fuel Injection System, but plan one using CRC Intake Valve and Turbo cleaner soon.

Cleaned the MAF out just because it doesn't hurt, but it was running fine beforehand. Had a front tire blow-out, but that's about it. I put in a spare donut tire, jack, and X-wrench in the trunk, as Chevy has to cut weight to meet the CAFE standard, so you don't have those from the factory. Haven't noticed any loss in MPG, which is great!

Glad Chevy is still going to produce the Malibu and get rid of the Cruze. IMO they ought to bring the Cavalier back.
