One problem related to adaptive equipment has been reported for the 1998 Chevrolet Malibu. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The anti-theft light comes on at sporadic times and does not allow car to start. You then have to wait at least 10 minutes to restart car. This could be a potentially dangerous situation depending where you are when car will not start. I had a small child with me on the way to the doctor and made a stop at the drug store, then tried to restart car to proceed to doctor and car would not start. Since I only recently acquired this car, I have done research on this problem and see that it is a big problem with chevy Malibus. Why isn't there a recall for this--or, if there is one, please advise.
