    I consider myself to be decently mechanically enclined. However this thing has me stumped. It’s my moms 2011 Chevy Malibu LS with the small (non flex fuel) engine.

    I have a 2017 Malibu LS and since it has been getting cold, it is difficult to keep my car on. It will turn on, but shortly shut off.

    Hello! I hope someone here can help me out. My wife's 2014 Chevy Malibu LTZ started blowing hot air about a week ago. My first thought was that it needed more refrigerant, but when I hooked up my manifold gauges to it, it showed a huge amount of pressure on the low side and about 100 psi on...

  11. Gen 9 Problems/Service Issues/Troubleshooting
    Hello, I recently got a Cehvy Malibu LT 2018. I don't like the Stop/Start feature and found about the L6 mode fix. I was wondering if driving in L6 mode turns off traction control. I also heard that you should put it in L2 first during winter as to not skid out when you start moving, is that true?
