Consumer Description

2001 CHEVY MALIBU'S ANTI THEFT LIGHT COMES ON SPORADICALLY WHEN ATTEMPTING TO TURN VEHICLE ON AND PREVENTS VEHICLE FROM BEING STARTED. KEY MUST BE LEFT IN THE ON POSITION FOR A MINIMUM OF 10 MINUTES FOR VEHICLE TO START. THERE ARE SEVERAL INSTANCES ALL OVER THE INTERNET WITH PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WHO HAVE SPENT A LOT OF MONEY TRYING TO FIX THE PROBLEM TO NO AVAIL. MY DAUGHTER DRIVES THIS CAR IN AUSTIN TEXAS AT PHARMACY SCHOOL. SHE GOT CAUGHT IN RISING WATER ONCE AND THE CAR WOULD NOT START. IF FOR SOME REASON THE CAR WAS TO TURN OFF IN TRAFFIC AND NOT TURN ON, I.E. THE EXPRESSWAY THIS WOULD BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. *JB
