2002 Chevy Malibu Shuts Off While Running

09/01/2009 12:33 AM

Guys, yesterday, i was driving my Chevy Malibu 2002, my speed is only 20kph, after a while the car suddenly shut off including the steering. I feel still lucky since i was driving slowly in the city and no cars are on my back. After a while, i face a problem re-starting the car. The theft system blink, at around a minute and it re-start.

Actually almost three weeks now i am facing a problem in starting the car, the theft system is always blink, as my friend told me i will put the key in ignition "on" after it was disappear then the car will start. Thats the one i'm doing. But really it is abnormal. My big headache was the one happened during my driving when it was suddenly shut off. If i'm in the highway i'm scared for what maybe consequences are.

Anyone who is familiar on this car, kindly help me to address my problem. Thank you and more power to you guys!

You have a problem with the antitheft system in your car. If you will take your car to a qualified repair shop that has access to the proper tooling, training & information that is needed to properly diagnose & fix a problem like this.

That's a great idea?

There's no way you can be sure it's the antitheft system, plus...

if you noticed, the guy's grammar combined with USING THIS FORUM obviously indicate youth, if not, youth and economic status, telling me, using a repair shop is WAY BEYOND his options. How can I be sure? The way people speak/ write is directly proportional to their education. Education is directly proportional to economic status. Economic status greatly determines whether he could use a repair shop or not.

This is pretty simple minded of you, to just assume youth due to grammar. If you re-read this, it states that the first occurrence was at 20kph. This would have been better written as 20km/h, but that's English. I well imagine that the gentleman who posted the original posting is not a native English speaker. If this is the case, then there is no way to predict his economic status. This is a world wide forum after all, and many of us are multi-lingual, maybe not perfectly, but enough to make ourselves understood. He's another person looking for assistance, don't assume things and automatically put people in a box when they don't measure up to your thinking.

I simply don't agree. Additionally, the way people speak and write, as it relates to education and status, is not based on my opinion, rather many authors' who penned great works such as Freud (who's ideas continue to influence THE SOCIAL SCIENCES), Dale Carnegie, Dr. Norman Vincent Peale, Tony Robbins, Dickens, Mark Twain and Lee Iacocca, indicating this relationship as a generally accepted fact.

My daughter had the same type of issue with her Chevy Malibu. Turned out to be the ignition switch.
