Consumer Description

THE CAR IN MENTION ABOVE HAS STALLED FOR NO APPARENT REASON, WHEN STALLED STEERING BECOMES DIFFICULT THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE PAST 5 YEARS. WHEN THE DEALER WAS CALLED THEY SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL, AND IF THERE WAS NO TROUBLE LIGHT ON, IT WOULD BE HARD TO DETECT CAUSE UNLESS IT STALLED WHILE THEY HAD IT IN THE SHOP. WHEN IT STALLS EVERYTHING JUST SHUT OFF. UPON PULLING THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF ROAD WITH HORNS BLARING PUTTING IT IN PARK IT THEN RESTARTS LIKE NOTHING EVER HAPPENED UNTIL NEXT TIME IT DECIDES TO SHUT OFF. WHAT I'M GETTING AT IS THERE A POSSIBILITY THAT GM WILL EXPAND THERE IGNITION SWITCH RECALL TO INCLUDE THE 2005 MALIBU WHICH IN MY OPINION IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME SYMPTOMS OF SUDDENLY SHUTTING OFF OR STALLING THE CAR NOW HAS 100,000 MILE RUNS GOOD OTHER THEN THE STALLING. *TR
