problem #2

Malibu LT 2.4L 4 cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 250,000 miles

This problem is still going on I am going to go bankrupt trying to pay for this piece of sh*t, this started in august when the car broke down in a McDonald's and ever since it's pointed to multiple issues, I've replaced the battery about 2 times, didn't work, replaced the alternator, didn't work, and here's the thing. I can't even turn the car off without it dying and it not starting up after, but the car eventually starts after multiple hours.

Now a new development the car starts with a jump and then just f*cking turns off in the middle of the road, it's pointing to the starter or the wiring from the battery to the starter being the issue, now it's pointing to the spark plugs, and I also think the catalytic converter might be the issue, I don't f*cking know I may have to buy a new car someone help. DO NOT BUY THIS F*CKING CAR IT SUCKS

2009 Chevy Malibu won't start. It's probably a bad starter, but could be the fuel pump.
