I have a 2033 Chevy Malibu. I bought it in October of 2010. I first had issues with it around May of 2011. It was the 10 minute anti theft system issue. Now my car cuts off while I drive. I wanna go home for Christmas and I am to afraid to put my car on the road. I brought a new fuel pump and had my fuel line blowed out and its STILL cutting off!! I don't know what to do about it now. I know I don't want to spend unnecessary money on this car. I am now thinking of trading it for a more dependable car. If anyone knows a good solution to my problem email me at missbrandi2003@yahoo.com. Thanks

I bought this car when it had 122,000 miles on it already so I wasnt expecting much, But after putting 30,000 miles on it. I've had to replace the calipers, rotors (twice) brake pads (also twice), and tires. So after all that i was driving home last friday and all the sudden it starts losing power and the engine has a big knock. So I pull over pop the hood and didnt see anything leaking. So I drove it to the nearest exit and pulled into a car pool lot to wait for a tow. I get it back to the garage and just decided to start taking it apart to find out what happened. I took off the front valve cover and the rocker arm bolt had stripped out of the head and the push rod was hitting the valve cover. So I called around to find out what to doand just decided to replace the head so the threads would be good. I went to a salvage yard to see what they had and both of the heads they had, had the same problem (stripped rocker arm bolt holes). I decided to get one just so I had a spare in case i messed mine up. I took apart my engine swapped out the valves and rocker arms etc. Bought all new gaskets, new head bolts, spark plugs, wires. I had to helicoil the hole to fix it and now that thats working again.

Now the transmission is acting up, it hits hard into 2nd and slips going into 3rd after that it feels fine. Im lost and just want to get rid of this car. Well theres my complaint/s. Oh almost forgot the wheel bearings or brakes are starting to make noise again....

(my parents car that I WAS GONNA GET!) It all began with the catalytic converter..It got real messed up & wouldn't go past 20mph on the highway unless we floored it. After that, we got it fixed. Then we took care of it, well..for no apparent reason..the gasket had blown & it was $2000 to repair. Then firestone wanted us to get the O2 sensors replaced for maybe about another $500..yeah right, tha'ts a whole 2 weeks worth of food right there. Later on, maybe about 4 or 5 months later...the gasket blew again. Coolant was leaking hardcorely into the engine making a mild shake. We had to keep adding coolant so the car wouldn't overheat & the engine started developing this ticking noise. Well..a cylinder had broken, there was a journal that went bad & all this other stuff. So then we took it to go trade it in. We drove about 25 miles running very horribly & making a very loud ticking noise(embarrassing). We finally ended up at the dealership & as soon as we drove into a parking space it stalled. So anyone who has this car....GET RID OF IT, ITS NOT WORTH YOUR MONEY!
