NHTSA Complaint #10597123 — 2009 CHEVROLET MALIBU

WHILE IDLING WITH THE VEHICLE IN GEAR AT A DRIVE-THRU WINDOW, THE IGNITION TURNED OFF WITHOUT ANY INPUT (INTENTIONAL OR UNINTENTIONAL) FROM THE DRIVER. BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT LISTED AS BEING IMPACTED BY THE IGNITION SWITCH RECALL, I HAD NOT REMOVED THE MANY KEYS THAT I KEEP ON MY KEY RING.

DECIDED IT'S TIME TO FINALLY FILE A REPORT IN CASE MY VEHICLE IS PART OF AN AS YET, UNDETECTED PROBLEM WITH THE IGNITION.
