Had a 2019 Chevy Malibu rental during the day on Monday when my recalls were being done. What a horrible car at 27K miles. First the decent. Great gas mileage, mid to upper 30's.
Now the not so decent, I could barely get in and out, the door openings were so small, especially the height. The transmission I think was a CVT with fake shifts. Slipped and jerked very harshly twice while I had it. The possible motor mount issue was confirmed by the Hertz pickup guy who took me back to the dealership after I dropped it off. The whole car kind of did the shimmy-shimmy-shake-shake whenever any throttle or steering input was used. Probably the car had the 1.4L turbo. It was fast enough 3 seconds after you mashed the throttle. The car was given to me with all tires except one 6 psi low. The mismatch was on the front. It was a rainy morning . Did I mention a rainy morning, the drivers side wiper was totally shot, smear city. Could not see after a swipe of the intermittent wipers for a second or two. Odd that the passenger side was perfect.
The sad part is this car is just about to be sold to someone at 35K miles. May God have mercy on their wallet.
