| The anti theft system activated about 4 times for no reason in the past 3 months. each time i followed the instructions in the owners manual and re booted the system. then while i was driving the car sputtered and stalled. the car won't start. the fuel pump is broken. why you ask did the fuel pump break. because each time the anti theft system activated itself for no reason it shut off the fuel pump. this repeatedly shutting off the fuel pump causes the pump to break. this results in a $500+ repair bill plus the cost to tow the car plus sales tax making the repair $600. chevy is aware that this is a very common problem with malibu's. the defective anti theft system in effect causes other parts such as the fuel pump to break. chevy profits by selling fuel pump modules each time there is breakage and this is why chevy is covering up the problem! the chevy malibu's should be recalled immediately and repairs made to fuel pumps and anth theft systems because cars stalling on roadways are a safety hazard. | |||
