Well when I first bought my malibu The Drivers side A-pillar had popped loose breaking a clip.. How or why I dont know but it caused the cars check engine light to come. The dealer ordered a new part and it was put in and all is well..
Today I drove to work as always and even went out for lunch.. No issues.
I got in the car after work and turned the key, All electrical came on but the car would not start, No turn over or anything.. Just nothing. I tried a few more times still nothing. I took the key out and shut and locked all the doors and reunlocked and got back in and it cranked up this time. Now I have a check engine light on.. I started to head out of the parking lot and hit my blue on star button because I remember hearing they can run diagnostics.
Well while they had me on hold I turned on the busy street and noticed the car was not changing gears. Busy Street and not changing gears is bad.. I dropped it into Manual and the DIC did not change and i stayed stuck in first gear trying not to over rev the engine.. I finally found a place to pull over and the on star rep told me that there is a communication problem is what there seeing.. I turned the car off and let it sit for a moment and tried again and we were able to be on our way.
The on star rep said there system advises to get it to the dealer as soon as possible and to call back in the morning and they would transmit there findings to the local dealer so I can take it in.
I hope this is not a sign of things to come with this car....
