First i had a problem with the alarm going off all the time, my battery was dead every morning.I cut the wire between the power lock control and the alarm system and fixed the problem. Now it stalls all the time and the traction control light comes on with a line through it. It loses power and says on the radio screen LOSS OF POWER. The dealership changed the gas pedal assembly and the Power Control Module. The pedal assembly change cost me about $300 and the other covered by the drive train warranty. But two days later it does the same thing.

I have a no good 2005 Chevy Malibu that just shuts off with now warning. First the anti-theft system started going off for no reason, now when I get to a light/stop sign or my driveway my car just shuts off. I have to put it in neutral or park and try to restart it. I've had it at the mechanic 3 times to be told there is nothing wrong with my vehicle. Well either they don't know or this is really a piece of crap. I think the latter. Does anyone know of any recalls for the 05 Mailbu's.
