What are the reasons for a complete power failure in the Malibu?
2 Answers
Loose connections or battery issues. The Malibu has a body length of 4855mm, a width of 1854mm, a height of 1477mm, and a wheelbase of 2737mm. Due to changes in tire size, the height of the Comfort version is 3mm higher than the Luxury version, with almost no other differences. More relevant details are as follows: 1. Exterior: The Malibu is designed with meticulous craftsmanship to create a refined American appearance. The muscular hood lines highlight dynamic contours, while the classic dual-element taillights paired with robust wheel arches showcase the essence of an American coupe. Thanks to the Deep Sea Quiet Tuning technology, which includes up to 32 noise-reducing measures, the Malibu provides a serene and quiet driving environment, offering the unique quiet comfort characteristic of American mid-to-high-end cars. 2. Safety: The Malibu boasts globally recognized five-star safety capabilities. The body extensively uses high-strength steel combined with optimized energy-absorbing designs. It is also equipped with multiple electronic safety technologies such as ABS/EBD/ESC/TCS, providing solid protection for passengers.
Last time I drove a Malibu, I also experienced a complete power failure. Later, it was found that the battery was too old. Over time, the liquid inside the battery leaked and corroded the terminals, and the cold weather caused a sharp drop in power, making it impossible to even unlock the doors. If the alternator wasn't charging properly, the power level would keep dropping until everything shut down. It's recommended to maintain the battery regularly, check the voltage every six months, and replace it in time. If this happens, try jump-starting first. If that doesn't work, the car needs to be towed to a shop for battery or alternator repairs. Remember not to leave the car unused for long periods, as that accelerates battery aging.
