What owners report
“My 2015 Chevrolet Malibu doesn’t have a key hole to lock it manually so I can’t close my trunk of my car. The latch assembly isn’t working properly so when I push the button it doesn’t lock. So I’m complaining about not having a key to lock the trunk of my vehicle.”

“Every time it rains or I wash the car, water leaks into my trunk. I've been told it was due to the antenna seal and I have heard this was a common problem with these cars, but I havent seen anywhere that there has been a recall.”
