The theft system is hanging up in my 2001 Chevy Malibu and making it not start. I can be stuck without it starting day or night. I have had it to the dealer numerous times at $500 each. They keep saying that it is not a recall and has to be paid 4 by me. On the internet there are numerous complaints about the same thing. Why R we responsible for this and it seems to B a constant problem?

I bought a 2010 Chevy Malibu in November of 2010 and the car engine caught on fire in January of 2010. The vehicle was parked in my driveway while I was sleeping. At approximately 9 P.M. my neighbors awake me to notify me that my car was on fire. They had called 911 and the fire department had shown up shortly afterward. The fire came from the engine compartment. I notified american Chevrolet in modesto, ca, where I had purchased the vehicle and they towed it to there dealership. Since then I have not been given a definitive answer as to what the root cause of the fire was, and what is being done to replace my vehicle or reimburse me for my cost. I haven't been compensated either for my loss of transportation. My insurance first said that the problem lied with General Motors, but due to the prolong period of time are now getting involved in paying the car, where I will come out loosing all my investment. Fortunately, the car was parked outside, not inside my garage where the car would have gotten my new home on fires. I work graveyard and was asleep when the fire occurred. The fire department ruled that it look to be a defect. I don't understand why it would take a large corporation would take so long to resolve a serious problem such as this.
