problem #2

Malibu Maxx

  • miles
The car will shut down without warning. I have experienced this when accelerating, braking, and when driving down the road with neither acceleration or braking. I have researched this on line and it seems like a lot of people are experiencing this with no known resolution to the problem. Every incident where I see it reported, the individual has not had a fix. The first incident was 3 weeks ago, then last night, and again this morning. If this were to happen in the middle of an intersection people would get hurt. Personally I plan to buy a new car because I do not feel that Chevrolet dealership will provide a fix.
