| I own a 2003 chevy malibu with the passlock anti-theft system. over the past 2 1/2 years i have been stranded 6 times and have paid hundreds of dollars due to my car failing to start at any given moment. the scariest incident of all happened as i was driving with my children and lost all power steering as it started to stall out. as of now, may 6, 2011, it is again sitting at the shop unable to start. the turn the key to on, wait 10 minutes trick, doesn't even work any longer. | |||

| Car has stalled numorus times in traffic. at city speeds and highway speeds, even in the fast lane at rush hour.have you ever seen a semi that is tailgating try to stop at sixty-five in your rearview mirror because your engine just stalled? i fear for my life every time the dealer calls and say's come pick it up i think we got it fixed? how can they send me out with a vehicle that they dont even know if its fixed? when they can't even find out what is causing it to happen? it's been in the shop eight times for stalling. they replace a part and send me out on the road like a test rat hoping the brand new car i bought keeps running so i don't die or worse cause someone else to. they have checked the wiring,computers, engine, even duplicated the problem.how do i ever feel like i can drive this car safley. i have no choice because the big car company dont care for me. it's sales they care about. it's been at the dealership for six days now, no problem i'll send my payment in even though it's been in the shop for about thirty days the last four months. | |||
