Your 2014 Chevrolet Malibu is equipped with a timing chain, which typically has a longer lifespan of well over 100,000 miles compared to a timing belt that requires regular inspection and replacement. Although timing chains are generally reliable, they can occasionally develop issues, which may manifest as a clattering or rattling sound from the engine. In many cases, the problem may not be the chain itself, but related components like the tensioner failing. If you detect the problem early, you can replace these faulty parts before the chain itself is compromised and requires replacement.
