The contact owns a 1999 Chevrolet Malibu. While driving various speeds, the check engine warning indicator illuminated. When the brake pedal was depressed, the vehicle failed to respond. The contact had to shift into park in order to stop the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who stated that the fuel cap was not applied tight enough and informed the contact to use a better grade of fuel. The vehicle was not repaired and the manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was unavailable.

The theft system, passlock, fails causing the car to not start for 10 minutes. This can and has happened consecutively, sometimes causing a wait of 30 minutes, before the car can be started. Apparently the theft deterrent system is defective, known issue with GM, and does not read the key properly when inserted in the ignition system. So, it will shut off the fuel pump to the engine, disabling the engine.
