“I purchased a 2005 chevy Malibu Classic. The anti theft system comes on as the operator drives the car. I have been driving several times and the vehicle just lost all acceleration. Every week I have problems getting the vehicle to start because the anti theft system comes as the operator turns the ignition on. This is a very serious and dangerous problem. I strongly feel that this cars should and needs to be recalled.”
