Description of the problem	Car has always ran a little rough, we were told by chevy there was nothing wrong everything was normal. On our way home from family vacation in the mountains, the car lost power, engine light came on. Thankfully we were able to make it to an autozone and we were told it was misfiring in cylinder 1. We then took the car to chevy, we were told they couldn't see the problem and the mechanic who takes the engine apart to check was bust the next couple of days. So the car was in the shop for a week before were told there is a cracked piston and they will be replacing the pistons and gaskets. If i didn't work in the car rental business, i would think my car was great and ready to live forever, but i do. So i know, we have had several malibu's and cruz's with the same engine have the same problem and after 10k miles the pistons crack again. We get the car back and it is running more rough than it used to, now were waiting for the engine to cut out again. I am not looking forward to my cars engine cutting out on the highway again because chevy cannot find a fix for their bum engine. With only 12k miles left of the warranty.
