On the highway going 65 mph, the engine shut off without warning but the battery/electronics were still on. I safely stopped the car on the side of the road.

Upon further research, many owners of the same make model and model year range suffered…

All four tires are losing air and have put air in 3 times. Have been told the rims are cracked and that this is a common problem with this car. Safety is of concern and it will cost $600 - $700 to fix. For what information i have gm is not doing a thing about it. I will not buy a gm car again if they do not resolve this issue. *tr

We had to continually add air to one tire. Thinking we a had a nail, we took it to a tire shop. The rim was defective. That was when the car had 41,564 miles. We replaced it. Another rim went bad after 50,688 miles. Rims should not go bad. There must be a defect in the fabrication of the rims and malibu owners are paying for it. *tr

It has been brought to my attention that i have 3 areas in my rim to be crack along the crease of a 5 star rim. I was informed by a couple of experts that these type of rims has been causing alot of owner difficulties. I do not believe we should be held responsible for a manufacturing defect, especially when it is clear that there was not any negligence on the part of the owner. It is obvious that i am not the only…

I know i needed some tries. I put on two tires and why the rim was off, they notice that it was bent. I had a problem last year with a rim that the dealer found a crack in it. Another customer had her malibu in for service and they…
