Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Ongoing problems since february 2004. seems to get worse as time passes. abs and emergency brakes lights warning comes up at the same time either during driving or 10-15 second after starting car. when this happen, power windows locked up. also, air conditioning power light went out and don't work. sometime restart cars several time to clear but doesn't always work. problems can last a few minutes to hours or until restart cars. only worry is when driving on highway on very hot days with windows close and ac on and problem locked windows and shut a/c down. had to do this once. had to pull over and restart car to open windows. not sure if this is related to a/c switch problem. a/c turn off/on at will. was fixed once before but problem reoccured. also have problem with brakes, ac smell, rotors warped... same reoccuring problems as many other 1999 malibu owners had. have problem check but technician unable to pull error codes from it. been to a few places to have problem checked, get charge for diagnostic but no one seem to know what causing it. because problem is intermittent, make it even harder. *ak
