(reported on)Malibu
My car started shaking when I turned on the air conditioning and would totally turn off when I stopped moving when the air was on. It got to the point that the car would die when I came to a stop (or even dropped below 5 mph) without the air on. Leading up to the problem, the anti-theft light and parking brake lights stayed on constantly and when my mechanic ran diagnostics, the codes would never reset. It turned out the wiring harness was corroded/burned out. It took a week for my mechanic to identify the problem. He consulted with the dealer, but the dealer was not of much use. Had I been charged for all of the time spent identifying and repairing this problem, the bill would have easily been $1,400. Along with the AC problem, turn signal problem, gasket/o-ring problems, water pump, gas gauge problems I've had, what's next? My family and I have been loyal GM customers for 40 years, but I'm leaving GM for good.
