June 1999

1999 chevrolet malibu. No start problem due to a defective ignition switch and or anti-theft system. Ongoing problem. No set time or conditions. Have key separate from others. Not a weight of key ring problem. If a stall occurs or in an emergency occurs, vehicle is disabled for 10 minutes.I have tried to garner any and all information I can, including the non-help from chevrolet to by-pass or correct this problem. This problem started approx. 4 years ago and is very random.
