My boyfriend and I bought a 2000 chevy Malibu from a used car lot. In April of this year I went to take the car for a car wash for the first time and when the car got wet it turned off - all the lights on the dash board came on and the car that I just filled up 5 minutes prior- the gas needle went to zero. I took the key out and waited for the car wash to be over and it fired up right away. But when I got home and I turned it back on the car wouldn't start and a left light would come on. We let the car sit for a couple of days and then it started up fine and was running fine. One night coming home from a conference it was raining and we were driving down the freeway and it happened again car shut off, all the lights on the dash came on. We were thankfully able to safely get to the side of the road and the car fired up again and we got home but when we parked it it wouldn't turn on. We took it to a local chevy dealership and we have to have the computer and all the wires replace $1,000 it cost - hasn't happened since. But there are other incidences to add. . .

I own a 2000 chevy Malibu and the theft deterrent system is not working properly. A lot of the time the car will not start and while you are driving the call will stall and die. It will shut off and random times. You can be driving down the highway at 65 miles an hour and you loose power. This is a very dangerous situation and I know that gm knows about this problem and has failed to come up with a fix for it. It is up to you to force gm to put out a fix for this and protect the consumers of their products. Please help keep me and my family safe. Thank you.
