First, when I slow down to turn a corner, I take my foot off the gas. After the turn, when I press the gas I have no power. It doesn't die, it just won't go anywhere for about 15-20 seconds. That doesn't sound like a long time unless you are sitting in the middle of a busy intersection. I had the transmission rebuilt and it still does it.........This happens every time, not just every now and then. EVERY TIME!!! It has been a pain for the past two years and very scary at times (sitting in intersection). Along with the LUNGING FORWARD while putting on brakes when I park, the FUEL VAPOR SWITCH going bad(which means the CHECK ENGINE LIGHT stays on constantly), the TIRE PRESSURE SENSORS that take turns not working (only on the passengers side)(so the FLAT TIRE LIGHT stays on constantly too), the AC PRESSURE RELEASE SWITCH that thumps (about 20-30 times) when I turn it off and the AC THAT CUTS ON & OFF according to the RPMs, my husband thinks it has something to do with the COMPUTER? in the car. I have 152,000 miles on it now. Please let me know if there is anyone out there that can help me with these problems!!! I just bought my son a 2009 MALIBU. One of the tire sensors went out a few months ago. HELP!!!
