Safety & Tech

Common Problem

TL;DR
The 2019 Chevrolet Malibu has been reported to have issues with electrical systems, including battery problems and dashboard warnings. Maintenance and attention to these areas can mitigate some of these concerns.
Electrical System Issues
One of the most common problems reported by owners of the 2019 Chevrolet Malibu involves the electrical system. Users have experienced multiple warning lights such as check engine, traction control, and various service alerts (e.g., ESC, power steering). These issues often coincide with hard brakes and zero readings on the odometer and tachometer while driving. Some suggest that these problems may be related to battery or wiring issues, as similar symptoms have been resolved by replacing the battery.
Battery Concerns
Several users have indicated that a faulty or aging battery might contribute to the electrical issues in the Malibu. The original battery may need replacement after significant mileage, as seen in cases where steering assist messages appear. Replacing the battery has helped resolve some of these issues for certain users, although not universally.
Brake Light Failures
Another recurring issue is brake light failures. Despite checking fuses and replacing components like the brake light switch, some owners continue to experience non-functional brake lights. This problem may also tie back to electrical faults, possibly linked to the auxiliary battery, which some models reportedly lack.
General Reliability
While there are specific complaints about the 2019 Malibu, opinions on its overall reliability vary. Some users report minor issues post-100k miles, stating that GM vehicles tend to nickel and dime owners with small repairs but remain generally reliable. Others compare the Malibu unfavorably to Japanese brands like Toyota and Honda, citing fewer long-term reliability issues with those makes.
Recommendations
For potential buyers or current owners, it is advisable to regularly check the vehicle's electrical system and battery health, especially if experiencing any of the aforementioned issues. Routine maintenance and proactive replacements can help prevent more severe problems down the line. Additionally, negotiating a good price on newer models and maintaining them well could make owning a Malibu a worthwhile investment.
