Car will stall out and won't go at time without pumping the gas. We have replaced vacuum pump and both O2 sensors. Power steering locks up when hitting a small bump, won't start unless I moved the drivers seat up and back, if I use the blinkers my radio goes off if I use my high beams the radio freezes. It will do weeks with no issues then one day it will start acting up and does it for days or weeks. Chevy says there is no recap for that model but I've read multiple complaints about the same things so why is it not being addressed by gm.

Check engine light randomly comes on and off. Unable to get a diagnostic check thoroughly because the engine light doesn't stay on. Was at an auto zone one day when it came on again and was given two of the same codes stating there may be an O2 sensor issue. A couple weeks later while driving I get a message on the car stating �service power steering� then it goes off again. Check engine light went off. Right driver back seat belt doesn't click in all the way but sometimes it does.

I own a 2005 Malibu with 160,000 miles on it. On June 16, 2011 I took my car to the dealer's service center because a week prior my car doors unlocked and my engine shut down as I was driving down the street. This happend twice about four days apart. They replaced the oxygen sensor. Aweek later it started doing the same thing but about every two to four days. I took it back on July 16, 2011 and they could not find anything wrong and told me to bring it back when I could leave the car there. Now this has become a daily occurance, even happening two to ten times a day doing it 6 times within driving less that a mile at times. Luckily it starts right back up and that I still have control of the steering and brakes.
