Re: Frustrated new 08' Malibu LTZ V6 owner

Sorry to hear you are having troubles with the new Malibu. Not sure I am even 100% sure I know what you are describing though?? You say hesitation, but your descriptions sounds more like a lack of smoothness in acceleration and coasting as it seems to only be noticable on gradual acceleration and coasting, but not hard starts or braking?? Or a jerky acceleration and coasting maybe even?? Are any sounds associated with it or is it more a silent thing? And on the missing idle issue, is that consistent whether or not the engine is warmed up yet?
