Previously submitted complaint on 5-23-2017 NHTSA #10991171. Took car in for recall repair on May 11, 2017. Random shut down on the road continued. Took car back in for "diagnostic" on June 15, 2017. David maus Chevy had car for over 4 hours and could not find a problem. I received new keys on the off-chance that the 14-year-old original keys could be the issue. Today, 6-23-2017, the car again turned off on the highway. Photo attached - clearly the key is still in the "on" position. While at the dealership on June 15th, another man with the same model car was there for the exact same problem. His name is [xxx], also from deltona, and I encouraged him to file an incident report with NHTSA. Information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

Yesterday I was driving on a straight road with a few turns in a rural community. All of a sudden the theft system light starts flashing, my speed drops by force, my steering wheel tightens, and the engine shuts off. Thankfully the driver behind me was not up to speed as he had just turned onto the street after me. Otherwise, he would have slammed into the back of my car. I put the car in park and started my routine of trying to get the ignition to turn over. This process calls for me to put the key in the igntion, turn it to the right, and wait for the board to light up. Once it is lit, the car usually starts again. This is the first time the engine was shut down when the theft light starts to blink. In the past I have had trouble getting the car to start when the light comes on. I have had several ignition switches replaced at the suggestion of their Chevy technicians but each spring/summer I continue to have this costly problem. The managers and technicians seem to think that this is not a big issue and that I will need to continue to replace the ignition switches because the car thinks that I am stealing my own car. The only way for me to get the car to start up again is to put the key in the ignition and turn it to the right without actually starting the car. After 5-10 minutes the electrical board lights up and then I am able to start the car. While this car is a 2003 model, I have had this issue since the car was new but GM refuses to do anything about it. The only thing they have done is to replace the key fobs but that obviously is not the issue for many of their customers.

VIN: [xxx] I received a recall notice involving "possible unintended key rotation" and on May 11, 2017 I took the vehicle to a Chevy dealer in sanford, fl. Both of the keys were fitted with a "plug" and two rings were added, . on my way home from the dealership, on I-4 at almost 70 mph, I had to brake when debris began flying up ahead. The battery and oil lights came on and I felt the car lose power and the steering began to lock. The other cars braked & I coasted to the emergency lane. I put the car in park and started it up again. Approximately 4 miles later, as I exited the ramp in deltona, the car did exactly the same thing. I called the dealership from the side of the road and asked why the car had never done this until the recall for the key issue had been completed and I was told to come back and they would do a diagnostic. I drove to a local mechanic & based on the symptoms determined it was the ignition switch and they also purged the solenoid, costing $366. Today, May 23, 2017, I was traveling on I-4 at about 65mph when it became necessary to brake. The stretch of road is rough, and while braking I saw the two lights come on and felt the engine shut off. I was in the passing lane with easy access to the emergency lane, and once again the car started up and I continued on my way and back home. I drove in the right lane the remainder of the trip down and back so I could bail out if needed. On the day of the original repair, after the car shut down twice on the way home, I checked the government recall page to see if there were other recall issues and I learned that the fob is not recommended to be attached to the key. I removed the fob from the key and attached it to a lanyard, but apparently that does not help the problem. The dealership returned both "corrected" keys to me on the fob, with a second ring on each.

I've been having serious issues with my 2003 Chevrolet Malibu. For the past 2 days I haven't been able to get it started, theft light starts flashing every time I get back into my car to try and start it up. I've done the 10 minute waiting game over and over. My car is doing this every time I get into it now. Also, the dealership confirmed the body control module is not communicating with the vehicle. Now, I don't know if this is the BCM, ignition switch, wiring or something else that should be recalled as there are hundreds and thousands of complaints. I'm not the only one who seems to be having this issue. Get it together General Motors, you're loosing business each and everyday because of your at fault failing parts!
