problem #1

Sep 022013

Malibu LT 2.4ltr

  • Automatic transmission
  • 154,000 miles

2007 malibu LT just shuts off at traffic intersections, idling anywhere, and most times refuses to start. Engine turns over but will not start. Then it starts up after a few minutes like there was never a problem and runs fine. There are no fault codes, no warnings, nothing to suggest anti-theft. What is causing this???!!! 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!

Update from Sep 7, 2013: 2007 Malibu shut off again after turning through busy intersection. Stopped traffic through all lanes until it finally started again. WTF???!!!
