DID RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF MALIBU OWNERS WITH THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE. AS A DAD AND A CONSUMER I WOULD LIKE GM TO FIX THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE . WE CALLED THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD 400$ TO FIX.LOOKS LIKE US CONSUMERS ARE GETTING SCREWED AGAIN CAN U HELP?
