My car won't start when I try to start it. It just won't turn over. It doesn't matter if it has rained, snowed, or hot out. It was random and a real pain. I would have to try over and over again to get it started. I took it to so many different Chevy dealerships and no one could fix it. They said they fixed it and it wasn't. On this particular visit to the dealership they said they fixed it and it still did it. My total bill would have been $215 for this problem alone. I had two problems on top of that also. My total bill was $502. My extended warranty paid $400 and I paid $102 out of pocket.

Start of one of my many problems. My very new car won't start sometimes. I lived in Myrtle Beach so it can't be blamed on the cold weather and it would happen randomly no matter what time of day or what the weather was. I brought it in to the dealership and they said it was a loose connection at the S terminal on solenoid. They tightened it and said it was good to go. WRONG! I had the same problems for years and years to follow

Malibu LS 3.2L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 86,000 miles

Bought this car 2 months ago and have since learned and experienced that it suffers from starter run on. Today it took me 3 tries to start when it was warm.
