Reliability
The 2010 Chevrolet Malibu reliability score of 8.0 out of 10 is the Predicted Reliability rating provided by J.D. Power and Associates. This score is based on trending the past three years of historical initial quality and dependability data from J.D. Power's automotive studies, specifically the Vehicle Dependability Study (VDS) and the Initial Quality Study (IQS).
The Malibu is covered by a three-year/36,000-mile basic limited warranty, and a five-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty. Rust protection is provided for 6 years or 100,000 miles.
- "While Chevrolet offers the same basic three-year/36,000-mile warranty as Toyota does for the Camry and Honda for the Accord, GM's powertrain coverage is the longest at five years or 100,000 miles, versus five and 60,000 for the competition." -- Newsday
- "This new Malibu's only significant competitive disadvantage to rivals Honda Accord and Toyota Camry is projected residual value; Kelley Used Car Blue Book residual values indicate that those long-term segment leaders will fare much better five years down the road." -- Kelley Blue Book
