Vehicle purchased Dec 31, 2004 and it is now July and guess what? the 2005 Malibu cruise control stopped working plus 1 daytime driving light!!! too early for the cruise control to quit working, never had this problem in any vehicle I have had and everyone said same thing! this should be a recall of all Malibu 2005's with cruise control problems because of speed sensor or some electricial problem in the car that GM should be the responsiblity of paying for not customers because earlier I had to take car in for problems with the doors not unlocking and unlocking because of the remote not working and even a new battery did not solve the problem. They had to fix the problem.
