Had many incidents and almost crashed where car will shut down while vehicle is moving. I had change my ignition at the gm dealership twice and my car still has the same problem. I special order my car Feb 2002 and had been the only owner of this car to present. Gm dealership technician notes: - on January 16 2007, 7,879 miles. My car would not start. Put key in the ignition and the gages went up about half way and stayed there until doors auto locked, then the gages dropped all the way down. Tried to start and it cranked but will not start. Usually you can hear the pump priming but did not. This still happens to this date. After 20 minutes or so car did start and drove for a while. It died at a stop and would not restart. When tried to restart gages still moved with the locks. But anti theft light was on the gages did not come up. Technician verified concern. Car did start and drove into the shop. After several attempts the car did not start. Testing found loss of ignition 1 voltage. Technician isolated to an open circuit in the ignition switch. Technician replaced ignition switch. After a few moths I had the problem come and go and the dealership could not figure out the problem. - on November 24, 2012, 47,906 miles. Ignition will not turn over at times, and also will set off alarm when key is turned at times. Technician found code b2960, ignition pass lock sensor failing. Technician replaced lock cylinder and key, system operated as designed. But on December 17, 2012 vehicle lose power and shut off while driving on the highway. Took it back to the dealership but they could not duplicate concern while test driving it. Dealership did not do anything else and turned me away saying my car is in good working order. I have all receipts when I took my car to be fixed at the dealership. Car still have the same problem and very concerned and scared to drive it.

I purchased a 2004 Malibu maxx, new not used. The second day I drove it, it sputtered a little as I was driving down the road. On October 14, I filled the car with gas and within 1 mile, the car stalled out 4 times. I initially thought I had purchased bad gas, and my husband called the dealership. They came and picked it up with a wrecker. At this time, the car had less than 800 miles on it. They called me the next day and said it was my anti-theft system and they had to reprogram my key but it was fine now. I picked it up and before I made it home, it stalled out again. I got it home, my husband called the dealership and we took it back. On the way back it stalled out 2 more times and started sputtering like it wanted to stall out again. To date (October 24, 2004), I still do not have the car. I spoke with mike andrews (the sales manager) and discussed possibly exchanging for a new vehicle and he refused. I then called Chevrolet in detroit (4 days ago) and she called the dealership and they said they had to replace the gas tank because there was a leak between the filler pipe and the tank and "fuel was leaking where it shouldn't". They said I should have it back by Friday (October 22). The service department is now saying there is a service bulletin out on it and they had not recieved the fuel tank yet and it could be Monday or Tuesday of next week before I get it back.
