You are truly a gem, God bless you for sharing, I had already called a tow for my husband, came home, studied KZread awhile, saw your post, I went back across town and with your tip, I started his 2003 Chevy Malibu, Canceled the tow. Happy Dance, and that ain’t easy for a 49 model 🙏🏻 🌹🙏🏻

5 years later and your still saving people money thank you

Wish me luck going to the dealership to get the recall worked on, mechanics will tell you it’s EVERYTHING and look you in the eye and tell you it’s not the ignition. You WILL know if your problem is the SAME as this. This video is a LIFE SAVER.

You saved me from replacing a perfectly fine Fuel Pump. Both a local shop and the chevy dealer wanted to throw parts at it. Great simple fix.

Just had a problem with my 02 malibu. left parking lights on and ran down the battery. Got a jump from a co worker but car would not start.Was getting fuel and spark. Apparently when the electrical system is drained it activates the anti theft. Did some searching on you tube and found out to leave ignition in on position for about 20 minutes or so the system will reset. Turn key to off then try starting. Worked for me!

In my 03 Bu I am tired of replacing batteries, coils, gasket seals, etc. The recall on ignition swith, all Chevy dealership did was fill in my key holder so its not elongated. They said that would take care of the issue! Never made sense to me. Only 99k original miles on it in 2024 and I'm done!

You are incredible. Ours is a 2005 Chevy Malibu. You saved us without taking 20 minutes to explain a 3:47 minute problem.

Same thing happened to me on my 2000 base model Malibu. Thanks for sharing about the "turning the key(but NOT to the Start position) eight times to reset! I called AAA towing thinking my car was conked out and when the truck arrived the driver said to try again AND it started right up! I have also had issues with the "Theft" light coming on when driving(no shutdown happening) and sometimes when starting up "almost All of" the instrument panel dash lights staying on for several minutes while driving. I did receive the recall post card and they just glued a little piece of plastic into the original key keyhole.

Dude, thank you so much. We replaced the fuel pump and it would not start until I tried this...so relieved.

There’s another problem these cars have that I faced today looking at this video is that the gearshifters locketloves to bind the ignition and prevent the car from going into OFF properly. There’s an insert at the back bottom portion of your lock cylinder that is to prevent your car from slipping out of gear when off is also the reason why my car or maybe other cars won’t properly turn off or get their keys stuck in the ignition. After fumbling with it for 20 minutes deciding to leave it unplugged and the car works fine now and even goes in and out of gear properly

Thanks for showing me how to turn on a car

I just bought a 2007 malibu 3.5 v6 and it won't start this morning, starts then shuts off, does the dampness have anything to do with it? And, yesterday evening, the low gas light went on for a moment even though its a full tank, 10 mins later it died at a stop sign. Started right back up and went home no problem. Today it won't stay started. I hear the pump noise intermittent. 37,000 miles on car

Thank you for this video it is most appreciated . This works like a charm.

thanks I am having the same problem now and it works thanks for my 12 Chevy Malibu

Its the ignition lock out due to the PASSLOCK II system .. The sensor in the lock cylinder goes bad .. A garage did the fuel pump on my car .. Big rip off .. $800 .. The manual tells you how to start it but until you replace the sensor you'll have to repeat the process all the time .. Getting a new key can solve the issue for the most part .. I used my second key after the first key started not working and it starts 95% of the time .. Get a new key made from your unused key fob if you have one to make sure the key isn't worn down from use

You just saved me hundreds!!!! Thank you!!!!!!

I got 2002 Chevy Malibu I did turn the key to on position on and off for 10 times 😩 the gas gauge went up and down every time and I have 1/2 tank of gas Then after that I thought it got reset the anti theft alarm got reset NO ! When I try to start only cranks and doesn’t start sounds like the ie no gas going to the inyectores I may need to replace the torque converter clutch circuit ( could be stuck on ?)there is electricity going to my fuse breakers under the hood 😖☹️

I appreciate the tips, but realize what this shows. This is truly a safety issue. People should not have to wait or cycle anything to start their cars? What if the car needs to be moved immediately? Weather dangers, or imminent threat of physical harm from a predator? Say you have your kids in there, and you can't go? Not good and GM needs to be held accountable.

I been doing that it still wouldn't turn over I had to get a tow

This is happening to me right now. I have a 2005 Chevy Classic 4 cylinder. I need to get the recall ignition changed but the dealer says since I don't have the original key to the car, they can't do it. I purchased the car from someone in 2017. The car runs very good accept when this ignition problem happens. The mechanic I took the car to has taken apart the wires to the car alarm system and the automatic engine start and now the alarm system and automatic locks are not working.

What if it's not the problem? In 2004 Malibu Maxx, it is just ridiculous. If the gas pump works its should start on, but it doesn't mine it does work but don't turn on what should I do🤔?

thanks for the video i hope this works

You saved me, thanks a loooooot

my car has a problem with this but my car lights and gas needle won't come up unless the car has been running then it cuts on or if it's been in the sun. I've changed the fuel filter and we checked the pump and it shut gas through the line no problem. my car wil sputter and it still won't crank even cycling it won't work..I think my security light could be on or have something to do with resting it.

So, is that the reason they sent the recall to the Chevy Malibu drivers? So that they could fix the ignition problem?

Not on these cars. The ignition recall only fixes your keys! They put an insert in the key, so it goes from a slot to a single hole.

My Malibu needs new keys AND apparently has a faulty fuel pump. If I had to call a locksmith for a new set of keys, would this still work?

just worked for me. thank you

Your PASSLOCK II system doesn't recognize the key .. Do you have a second key / fob ? If you do try using that key the sensor might recognize it .. Have a key made at Wal-Mart or any key place make sure the key is not worn down and use that key .. Go thru the relearning procedure in the manual .. If you want you can try cleaning out the lock cylinder with some electrical contact cleaner spray or graphite .. Debris might have built up and is keeping the sensor from recognizing your key ..

Does anybody ever wonder why GM was never made to recall these cars for this issue? I've had mine replaced at the dealer 2 times now. If you count the switch that came in the car from the factory, I'm on my third complete ignition switch. Costs around $800 each time. Where's my recall and my bailout? By the way, there never was an actual ignition switch recall for these cars. The recall fix is what amounts to installing a plastic insert within your key, adding a page to your owner manual, and giving you two small metal rings on which to hang your remote fob, and keys. The actual ignition switch is never touched or deemed bad. GM is so deceitful.
