The 2009 Chevy Malibu may overheat due to a number of common problems including cracked or failing thermostat housing, leaking coolant and a faulty radiator fan. If oil levels are low, more friction and heat will be generated in the engine as well. Antifreeze leaks can be caused by clogged or disconnected coolant lines. If being diagnosed, often a flush of the existing antifreeze will solve overheating problems by removing d***y or contaminated fluid. Some Malibu owners have had succeSSReplacing the cap on the surge tank. The surge tank stores the overflow of coolant that moves between the engine and radiator. If the cap and seals are corrupted or the hose is damaged, the error results in engine overheating.
