My 2004 Chevy Malibu keep shutting of at various times.the alarm keep engaging and disables the car.this has happened 5 times in the last 2 months.I have been reading and even on the complain site it seems to be a problem.this is very dangerous because I have read that this could happen while the car is in motion.I have looked an this is a very expensive task. Like I said I am not the only one who is having this problem.I also asked Chevy and they say there is nothing to be dome it is all wear and tear the car.I hope you can help me and the others out there with the same problem.

The contac stated that the would have to remove the key from the ignition and wait approximately 5-10 minutes before being able to start the vehicle. The contact stated that the failure would occur at least once daily. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the contact was informed that the fuse, ignition switch and the computer would need to be replaced. The dealer advised that he could not guarantee that the repair would remedy the failure. The failure mileage was 38,000 and the current mileage was 54,000.
The 2004 Chevy Malibu classic will no start for 10 minutes everytime I get in the car. I want to fix the problem but was told by a Chevy dealer that it would cost $400 but it is a hit or miss situation. I would love if GM recalled it. I work in child protective services and children lives can be at risk if I can't get to a family in time. If GM will not recall the car could they please tell me how to fix the problem that will have money and lives.
