NHTSA Complaint #10595406 — 2003 CHEVROLET MALIBU

THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED I TRIED TO START MY CAR AND IT WOULD NOT START AND ENDED UP HAVING IT TOWED TO A GARAGE HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS LATER TO FIND OUT IT WAS AN THEFT SYSTEM PART THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. SO WE DID THAT THEN THE SAME THING STARTED HAPPENING AGAIN. I GOT OUT THE OWNERS MANUAL AND WAS READING ABOUT TURN THE KEY FOR 10 MINUTES. WELL THIS HAS BEEN A ON GOING PROBLEM FOR SOME TIME NOW. IT WAS NOT UNTIL I STARTING READING ALL THESE THING ON THE INTERNET TO REALIZE THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM AND THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE. MY VEHICLE YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN ITS GOING TO START OR NOT SO IN THE MORNING I HAVE TO GO OUT EARLIER THEN USUAL JUST IN CASE I HAVE TO TURN THE KEY FOR 10 MINUTES OR NOT. THE SCARY PART IS READING ALL THESE PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN DRIVING AND THE CAR JUST STALLS OUT ON THEM. GM WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE FOR OTHER LIVES TO BE TAKEN BEFORE YOU REALIZE THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM. MY CAR HAS BEEN A GREAT CAR OTHER THEN THIS PROBLEM AND IT STILL IS A GREAT CAR. JUST IF THE THIS THEFT SYSTEM PROBLEM WOULD BE FIXED. COME ON GM STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND DO WHAT'S RIGHT DO THE RECALL AND GET THIS FIXED SO WE CAN GO ON WITH OUR LIVES. THANKS *TR
