So, I had a buddy with a 2013 Chevy Malibu, right? He was having a mess of trouble with the water pump. Started with this weird noise, like a whining sound whenever he stepped on the gas. Turned out the pump was going out. Had to replace it sooner than expected.
And it’s a real bummer because that’s expensive and not easy to handle alone. Had someone help him change it. Afterward, he mentioned that the coolant was leaking a lot more too. It got him worried if there were other issues lurking around.
Have you dealt with something like this? Does the car show other signs before the pump fails? And oh, maintenance, right? Did he check the coolant regularly or just went with the flow and hoped for the best??
I had a buddy in Toronto who replaced the water pump on his 2013 Chevy Malibu. Turned out, theirs kept leaking oil, a real pain to fix. It seems like a common issue, but worth looking out for, y’know?
I’ve had issues with my 2013 Chevy Malibu’s water pump down in Texas. It started making this weird noise mid-summer, and turns out it needed replacing real fast. A buddy in Ontario had the same problem - his overheated and left him stranded during a road trip. I guess the water pump is a known trouble zone for this model. Definitely keep an eye on it, especially if you see the temp gauge shooting up! That’s a major fail if ignored.
I’ve had issues with my 2013 Chevy Malibu’s water pump right here in Texas. Veteran drivers say it tends to leak funny fluid near the front of the car. Always a pain to deal with!
I’ve got a buddy in Toronto who had this headache with his 2013 Chevy Malibu; the water pump went kaput outta nowhere. Swore it was normal wear, but it better not happen again!

I’ve got an '13 Chevy Malibu up in Canada, and man, the water pump gave me grief around year three. Had to replace it twice, leaks outta nowhere! Check the ancillary hoses too, they can be dodgy. Seriously, keep an eye out for unusual noise or low coolant level. Trust me, it’s a real pain!
I’ve been noticing lotsa talk ‘bout the 2013 Chevy Malibu water pump failing in my area, Cali. My buddy had his replaced twice in two years, always dealing with overheating. Hopefully, it’s just a bad batch or somethin’. Total bummer for all of us stuck with these issues. Real headache.
I’ve had my fair share of issues with the '13 Chevy Malibu water pump. Living in Michigan, it’s no surprise I ran into frostbite vibes causing it to seize up and fail. A few buddies mentioned similar clogs with corrosion making water flow sketchy. It’s a hassle, but hey, gotta love usin’ dip sticks and patience. At least replacing it is way cheaper than huntin’ for another four-door!
I’ve got this buddy in Toronto who had a major issue with his 2013 Chevy Malibu’s water pump. Started making a bizarre noise, then the car overheated like crazy. Said it was a real headache, had to replace the damn thing twice in '14. Mind you, looks like it’s a common problem with that model, but still, talk about frustration!
I’ve got a 2013 Chevy Malibu up here in Ontario and the water pump decided to give up the ghost. Pretty typical story, from what I’ve heard. Was scraping cash together for repairs—turns out the rubber seals go bad quick. I had to swap it out myself. Anyone else going through this headache?
I’ve had a 2013 Chevy Malibu in Georgia, and the water pump started leaking around 60k miles. It’s pretty common; the pump’s belt often goes bad too—just part of regular maintenance. Heard others in Canada had the same probs.
I’ve got a buddy in Ontario who had issues with his 2013 Chevy Malibu water pump. Said it started leaking around 70k miles, which is super annoying. Heard from a mechanic that the gaskets tend to go bad fast, so it’s something to watch out for if you own one. Another dude from NJ said he had to replace it too early due to corrosion. Seems like a known pain for some folks!
I’ve owned a 2013 Chevy Malibu in Ontario and ran into water pump issues around the 50k-mile mark. Symptoms included overheating and odd noises from the engine. From what I’ve heard, it’s a common point of failure for '13 models. Definitely keep an eye on those cooling system parts! Hope this helps fellow drivers.
