Consumer Description
I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE 3 WEEKS AGO AND FOR THE PAST WEEK IT WON'T START. POWER TO EVERYTHING BUT NO CRANK. I TOOK OUT BATTERY AND STARTER AND THEY'RE BOTH FINE. ALL RELAYS AND FUSES ARE FINE. I TOOK OUT ALL FUSES UNDER HOOD AND CAR STARTED FINE. MADE IT 5 MINUTES UP THE ROAD, MY CAR STARTED SHAKING BADLY,THE POWER STEERING APPEARED ON DASH, SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING, RPMS WORKED, AND CAR WOULDN'T SHIFT OUT OF 1ST. THAT IS DANGEROUS AND MY VEHICLE WAS RECALLED FOR EPS BUT NO ONE WILL HELP ME AND THIS HAS BEEN A RE OCCURRING ISSUE WITH CHEVY MALIBUS IN GENERAL. I HAD TO TURN AROUND AND JUST COAST THE WHOLE WAY HOME THEN MY CAR LOCKED AND WOULDN'T LET ME TAKE IT OUT OF PARK WHEN I GOT HOME.
