Consumer Description

UPON STARTING THE 2000 CHEVY MALIBU, THE POWER WINDOWS WOULDN'T WORK, THE FUEL GAUGE READ AS EMPTY, THE GEAR INDICATOR DIDN'T LIGHT UP. THIS PROBLEM CONTINUED FOR UP TO 2 MINUTES, THEN EVERYTHING WOULD COME ON. THE "SERVICE VEHICLE SOON" LIGHT WOULD COME ON INTERMITTENTLY AND EVENTUALLY THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT CAME ON. WE TOOK IT TO A CERTIFIED MECHANIC WHO DETERMINED THAT A FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH WAS THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. *TR
