So when I started the car it wont start and the anti theft sign on the dash board keeps blinking. So I cant start the car and tried locking my car and unlocking and starting again still nothing. I checked the battery and the battery is fine and kept on trying to started it I can see the sign that says the car is locked. For no reason this happened, I came home that night and in the morning it didnt start. So it most likely is the ignition lock cylinder problem from my advise from my mechanic. I read online that it can turn off the car and have to wait an hour then start it back up and this is very dangerous problem to have if this security anti theft system fails out of no where. Also I checked my key for damage and still doesnt work. But this will most likely cost me $300-500 for a simple issue.
2007 Malibu lt just shut off at traffic intersection, engine turns over but refuses to start. Then it started up after a few minutes like there was never a problem. There are no fault codes, no warnings, nothing to suggest anti-theft. What is causing this???!!! this has happened to me and my daughter dozens of times in the last 5 years. I've searched online and there are way too many unhappy people with same exact problem! has there been a recall yet on this obvious defect? my 17 yr old daughter has to drive this car and it has quit on her in traffic several times and I am afraid it's going to happen to her and cause an accident. If she gets injured, or worse because Chevrolet refuses to recall and fix this defect there will be a lawsuit and a big one!.
