Warranty expired from Chevy Dealership at 75k miles for a

Warranty expired from Chevy Dealership at 75k miles for a 2020. At 85k my transmission went out. Was told that since it's a CVT transmission that there are no ways to repair it and I had to pay out of pocket to replace the transmission. Up until then, I loved the car. The surprise transmission issues floored me though.

Don't buy a 2020 Chevy Malibu

Had to get new transmission while still under factory warranty, seatbelt issues , electric issues and is n shop now under extended warranty do or mass airflow sensor .. variable transmission sounds like lawn mower and adjust to gears instead of changing ,, remind u it's a 2020 and have had nothn but issues for last yr .. also when they they did replace transmission the put same kind back in it so I can expect the same transmission problem in another 50,000 miles !! NEED TO RECALL THE WHOLE CAR ESPECIALLY TRANSMISSIONS ,all the ATL dealers are backed up for weeks die to Malibu issues !!

Great buy!

All the feel and features of a high priced luxury car without the high price! Chevy did a nice job with the attention to detail and creature comforts!
