My engine blew. I was driving down the street and my car wouldn't accelerate.
While driving 50 mph in the passing lane my 2007 Malibu shut itself off. There was substantial traffic and I had to coast across the lanes to the side of the road with my 7 year old daughter in the car. I called 1-800-chevusa and was told that since my manufacturer warranty is up there isn't anything that could be done. After speaking to a supervisor my car was towed to the local chevy dealership where it is still sitting now. My husband also spoke to someone at chevy who told him that since the warranty is up and there is no recalls we were basically out of luck. My husband nicely explained to them that there were no recalls at first on the cobalt's either but unfortunately it took someone being killed for them to take the issue seriously. They state that they will send paperwork to have my car looked at by the chevy dealer but we are still waiting. We could have been killed from this and I hope that this issue gets resolved and if it is a recall issue they do it fast before it happens to someone else.
Slowed down to take a right turn, turned right and started to speed up and the headlights shut off and would not come back on. I had to drive home, holding the bright lights on manually. Even at 20 mph, it was very scary, could not imagine this happening at the speed of 55 or higher. Very dangerous!!.
