Yes, it usually safe to drive when you have an ABS problem. The normal braking of the car is not affected by it. The only thing would be that you would not have the antilock feature available if you have a sudden stop where it might normally kick on.

You probably have a faulty wheel speed sensor or hub, that is the most common thing that goes wrong on the Malibu's. Once you take it in to your repair shop, they will be able to scan it and tell for sure.
