    2014 Malibu. Brake lights stay engaged after pedal is released unless I give it a slight nudge. Cruise control won’t work while brake lights are on. Parking brake is not on. I’m pretty sure the fact that my rear passenger brake pad/rotor has suddenly worn down to metal on metal grinding is...

    2008 Malibu. About to replace rear brake pads and rotors. What’s the correct and/or center point to use a hydraulic Jack and lift ? And then I’m guessing the Jack stands sit near the rear tires. Any tips? illustrations? 2 chocks per front tire? Things to be careful with? THX !

    I was driving with a cruise control on when I was sitting inside the lake with all scraping dragging from underneath the front driver axle area I immediately pulled over and look under the car there was nothing underneath it that was hanging or dragging. I just had recently replaced the brakes...

    Creaking sound emanates from the front passenger side when braking. Doesn't become apparent until 40 or so MPH as it corresponds to the velocity of the wheel. Approaching a stop, the creaking sound gets louder and "slower." Took the wheel off and there is decent pad left. Noticed there's a very...

    Hello. I don’t usually ask my own questions, but this one has me stumped. For probably three years, my wife’s 2011 Malibu LTZ Flex Fuel has made a god awful squeaking after it has been driven for a little while. It seems to be in a round-type issue as it will squeak and then pause, squeak and...

    Hello and thanks in advance for your time. I am trying to replace the rear brakes (hoses, calipers, pads and rotors, and passenger side hub/bearing assembly) on a 2010 Malibu. I am having some trouble figuring out how the pads fit into the calipers, as there seems to be a little nub on the...

    I recently changed my drivers front caliper because the boot was torn and the brake pedal was extremely stiff, and occasionally the brakes would lock up and the car wouldn’t move. After changing the caliper and attempting to bleed the brakes the brake pedal goes to the floor and doesn’t build...

    Hey everyone, I tried to do a brake job on my 2016 Premier this week (recently purchased hence the new user ID). Front was straightforward, just like any typical car. When I did the back, I really screwed up. I have never done a brake job on a car with an electronic parking brake before so I...
