Description of the problem | Car would not start. Replaced the fuel pump. Not the problem. Found out that the theft system light was the problem after my brother in law called a friend of his that worked at gm. Theft system light comes on while driving and there are times that the car will not start and i have to leave keys in ignition for 10-15 minutes and then come back, turn off and then turn on again, and it starts. This is a common problem with the chevy malibu's. I am fortunate that i have not been driving and my car cut off on me like other malibu owners who are experiencing the whole theft system light coming on. I am taking it to the shop tonight to have the ignition cylinder replaced but have read forums where that didn't help either. Gm /chevy knows that have a problem and aren't during anything about it. Why not investigate before you have fatalities on the road and it comes back to faulty equipment on chevy. *jb |
