We have classified the 1 complaints from 2005 Chevrolet Malibu MAXX about ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING into the following categories.
Complete and total lock up of power steering; battery light flicks on and then everything locks up until you replace the gas peddle for about 3 seconds. my lights randomly flash and rear bulbs on the driver side blow every 3 days. my turn signals will sporadically blink and the wiper blades go off with out warning or being prompted. even with no keys near or in the car it will not turn over to start the car until you floor the gas peddle and hold it there for 3-5 seconds. my radio reads at -19* all the time and the cd player has never worked correctly. when going from 0 to 50 getting on the parkway (highway) the whole car locks up and loses power including the steering radio and lights unless you completely release the gas then start to go again. im so highly frustrated and chevy refuses to fix it even though these are all recalled problems but my vin doesn't fall in there "bracket". *tr
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. *tr
