My theft light came on a month after the ignition was repaired due to recall. It is always on now. I have replaced the fuel pump, spark plugs, and timing chain. My car still wont start after all of that and the theft light is still on. I have been without a car for 2 months now due to it not starting. It will roll over but nothing more happens.when all of this happened it was stationary and it was parked in a parking lot where I work.

There is a problem with the rear brake lights. I had the circuit boards changed and all fuses checked and changed and I still don't had brake lights. There is a recall listed concerning this issue it is recall number 13036. I have researched is situation and found out that the Chevy Malibu models from 1997 to 2012 all seem to have problems with the brake lights failing to operate. So when a recall be issued or do people have to continue taking chances that while they are driving that the brake lights may or may not be working. I was driving when someone informed me that my rear brake lights were not working thankfully I arrived home, parked my car and have not driven it since. I discussed the situation with my mechanic and he advised me about the failed rear brake assembly of the Chevy Malibu and to contact the dealership. I spoke with a representative who basically told me there was nothing I could do that I could had it serviced pay out of pocket and if and when a recall for the brake system is issued I could be reimbursed. Because of this huge issue I can't and don't feel safe driving. Therefore, it is an extra cost on me to take public transportation to travel and I'm on a fixed income so who is going to reimburse me for my inconvenience.

The theft system light has been an issue with this car for some time. The theft system light comes on and stays on by itself as well the systems makes the horn honk when opening or closing the car door. The theft system has made it so that I cannot start my car & this has been an on going problem with my car.

The car won't start. Dealer said some problem with the passlock system. A new passlock sensor is needed. I did a search online and found many Chevy/GM cars owners reported the same problem. Some even reported that the car stopped during driving in the highway, which is soooooo dangerous. GM needs to start a recall on this.

Chevy Malibu classic 2004. Anti-theft light is staying on and the car will not turn over at all. I have owned the car for several months now and this is the first time that I have had any problem with it. The car will sit in the "on" position and the power will be on, but once it is turned to "start" everything goes off and there is no power for several minutes.

I own a 2004 Chevy Malibu. The anti-theft device continually causes my car to have a delayed start. I have had to put so much money into this vehicle that fixing it to the tune of $500 is out of the question. My dealer told me that even fixing the vehicle does not guarantee the replacement parts will not be defective. My car recently stalled in a dark parking lot and I had my two year old baby with me. Does Chevy have no shame for selling products that they know are dangerous" if I would have been attacked and my little girl hurt it would have been their fault. It really doesn't make much sense to have a defective anti-theft device does it? will it take a wrongful death suit to make them be more responsible" I know they are aware of the problem because a co-worker of mine has a 2002 Chevy Malibu and she had the same problem, two years later they are still selling the same crap. If I can afford to buy another car again it will definitely be a foreign car. The following information is general because this happens all the time, not just on one date!!!!
