How to Extend Your Chevy Malibu Warranty Beyond 3 Years
In this guide, we’ll explain how to extend your Chevy Malibu warranty, what’s covered, what’s not, and how to get the best value from a plan backed by Granger.
Why It Pays to Lock in Protection Before the Factory Plan Ends
The Chevrolet Malibu has long been a go-to for drivers seeking a practical and tech-savvy sedan. But even with solid factory coverage, surprises can pop up after the 3-year/36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty expires. That’s why many owners are choosing to extend coverage before their standard warranty runs out.
In this guide, we’ll explain how to extend your Chevy Malibu warranty, what’s covered, what’s not, and how to get the best value from a plan backed by Granger.
Before extending, it’s important to understand what’s already included with your new Chevy Malibu:
Coverage Type | Duration |
Bumper-to-Bumper | 3 years / 36,000 miles |
Powertrain | 5 years / 60,000 miles |
Roadside Assistance | 5 years / 60,000 miles |
Corrosion Protection | 6 years / 100,000 miles |
Once you pass 36,000 miles, coverage for electronics, sensors, ADAS, and convenience features disappears. That’s where extended warranty plans come into play.
Component | Average Repair Cost | Covered by Powertrain? |
Infotainment Screen Replacement | $1,300–$1,700 | No |
AC Compressor | $900–$1,200 | No |
Blind Spot Monitor Module | $750–$1,000 | No |
Steering Angle Sensor | $600–$950 | No |
Window Motor and Regulator | $450–$650 | No |
These costs often arrive between 45,000 and 75,000 miles—after your bumper-to-bumper warranty expires but long before powertrain protection ends.
