I would like to see what the temp sensor value was when it doesn't start with a scan tool. This is a huge safety issue! The failure mileage was 88,000. I'll try it for sure, can't hurt. The approximate failure mileage was 154,000. The trunk, that doesn't have exterior key access, sometimes doesn't open and has to be accessed from the interior via the backseats. I'll try to boost the battery again just to check on it, but if it isn't,???.
Around the ignition is a plastic ring that has the power modes displayed on it. Yugioh answered about a week ago Sorry I cant help but I'm having the same problem and just now started looking into it. While driving, the brake lights randomly illuminated without warning and various indicators flashed on and off on the instrument panel. Diagnosis was factored into the price once i used them for replacing it. When attempting to start the vehicle, it failed to start and had to be jumpstarted every time.
All of the sudden the check engine light came on. Now I don't even get a click but my battery has a 12. Now the agency is investigating 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners about the same problems. The remote on the car stopped working, and the door locks would open and shut on their own at various times while driving. The manufacturer was not notified of the issue. Default is -40 with an open sensor.
I had my friend push the brake pedal and I got out and looked at the brake lights. The mechanics checked the scan data and found the brake pedal learned position data was erractic in the body control module and won't hold the settings.

Was paranoid enough that i just left the vehicle running while in town.
I'd hate to damage one some day inserting something too large. The front doors unlocked by themselves, the trunk would not unlock, and the rear doors would not unlock when using the automatic key. Bulletin 14118 covers model year 2008 Chevrolet Malibu, Pontiac G6 and Saturn Aura built from October 1, 2007, through January 31, 2008. This problem has only been noticed while driving for more than 5 minutes. This has happened to me 6 times in the pass 4 weeks. The company said the issue has been connected to 18 crashes and one injury. Then last night the car would not start.
The problem could cause the an airbag to not deploy correctly. Took it into the gm elk grove dealership and they informed me that I had a bad catalic converter and fuel injection cleaning needed. They are high and low voltage, not temp. If we don't have the passkey system, I think the problem can be a borderline battery voltage.

Also wont start now I assume because it wont go in park. Later last night after writing this post the car started with no problem. Not even two months later the power steering system has completely failed. This car has serious issues especially in the heat!. Put another new starter in and it started right up.
My power locks rarely work on all of my doors. I replaced the ignition relay but did not fix the problem. When the thing stopped on the flat spots, there would be no contact to spin the starter. In some cases, the shift lever and the transmission gear's position may not match, meaning a driver could move the shifter to the park position but the transmission gear may not be in park. I explained to the mechanic that I believe the failing bcm is due to the voltage fluctuations that prompted the recall, left the dealership, and called gm. The affected steering shafts may have a yoke that inadequately supports the u-joint bearing resulting in a premature failure.
Service esc and traction control lights flash on the dashboard intermittently. It happened intermittently, usually after the engine was at normal operating temperature. They called me back and verified it was the battery. Rate the quality of this post and help onefunkar reputation points. The one i thought was in question was the start relay, however, now after SuperTech's words of wisdom maybe i should start swapping those also? I said no, but told him of the story. These events soon lead up to my shifter malfunctioning and the car getting stuck in drive while I was trying to park it on a city street. An independent mechanic diagnosed that the dtc indicated a failure with the transmission module.
Here is the scenario: Turn ignition no start Try again no start Try Again Runs rough and tachometer doesn't work. Click the reputation button near the bottom left corner of this message box.

This problem has only been attempted while stationary. About to drive away and it was like it was never even looked at.
