Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2001 CHEVROLET MALIBU WITH THE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM/PASSLOCK PROBLEM, THAT TURNS THE CAR OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 55 MPH (OR ANY SPEED FOR THAT MATTER). IN FACT, IT SIMPLY TURNS OFF WHENEVER IT LIKES. THIS MORNING TURNING ONTO A HIGHWAY, IT STALLED AS I TURNED AND I WAS ALMOST HIT BY A TRUCK HAD THE TRUCK NOT MOVED OUT OF THE WAY. I COULD NOT MOVE BECAUSE MY POWER STEERING DID NOT WORK DUE TO THE CAR SHUTTING OFF. THE MECHANIC I TOOK IT TO SAID HE'S REPLACED HUNDREDS ON ALL KINDS OF GM CARS, AND THAT HE WAS SURPRISED IT WAS NOT RECALLED. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS, I HAVE FOUND THOUSANDS OF POSTS OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE IDENTICAL ISSUE! THIS IS INCREDIBLY FRIGHTENING AND HAS HAPPENED TO ME ON MORE OCCASIONS THAN I CAN COUNT! IT HAPPENS AT LEAST ONCE A DAY. *TR
