    Hello, I
  2. New Member Introductions
    I have a 2013 Malibu hybrid, I make a lot of trips 3,000 miles return and want to use a donut tire instead of the weight saver compressor. I bought a new unused donut and jack from an auto wrecker (38$). Question is: can I cut out the trunk compressor to use that space for the spare? Has anyone...
  3. Gen 7 Problems/Service Issues/Troubleshooting
    I have a 2009 Chevy Malibu Hybrid with 2.4L engine around 100400 miles. For the past couple months my car will occasionally (weekly/biweekly occurrence) flash the word power steering. For the most part it will just flash the words and maybe trigger anti theft symbol (car with a lock). I don’t...

    First hybrid, haha. Two cooling systems. Any hints? Not seeing vents on the top of the engine radiator, that one should be easy. No clue on the electric system cooling. Google no help. I can see how to drain I guess, but how to refill and get air out of radiators? Any help appreciated. :)

    Battery seems to charge for about 1 minute, then the the Battery trouble light comes on. I have replaced the Battery Control Module (BCM) for the hybrid battery as well as the Alternator. Would the new BCM require some programming by the dealer? All fuses are good. My handy dandy code reader is...

    The internet has not been kind to me as a Malibu Hybrid owner. Not a lot of information to be found, and when it is found, it's always in a question without an answer. Anyways, I need to jump start my 2016 Chevy Malibu Hybrid and there isn't any info that I've been able to find. Do I connect...

    Out of the blue my 2016 hybrid won’t start. Starting acting crazy!! Tow truck showed up. By this time the car was completely dead. He said the 12V battery in the trunk was very weak. Just wondering if anyone has had a similar problem? Also concerned if I could be having an alternator problem...

    As a preface, I am a complete amateur with no experience just using problem solving skills. Just hoping to get some feedback on my assessment and hopefully get some more info if anyone else has had similar issues. Started having a loud squealing noise coming from the engine bay on the passenger...

    Hello, I have not seen it discussed in the forums for the 17 Malibu Hybrid dev menu. It's pretty simple and mine did not require a password. Use at your own risk as well, im not responsible for what you do. All you have to do is push the home button, power button, and back button at the same...

    My 2017 Malibu Hybrid with 70k miles began to chirp about 2 weeks ago a as the engine cuts off or back on. Whether moving or stopped. It is like a rubber belt on a pulley (perhaps some sort of clutch). Well it has rapidly turned from a chirp to a squeal, now lasting 3 to 8 or 9 seconds with...

    Hello! I'm new to the forum, and new to being a Malibu Hybrid owner. I purchased my 2016 Hybrid a few weeks ago and everything was good - until... 1. I had my tires rotated and the shop used an OBDII TPMS scan tool to reset the placement of the sensors. The car had to be running for the scan...
