Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: 2001 chevrolet malibu would not start. had vehicle towed to dealer. they diagnosed a bad passlock sensor. this is the second time, in 2006, this has happened. it is very expensive to have repaired. this seems to be a very common problem with the malibu. i think the govt. should have gm replace these sensors at no cost to the consumer, as the sensors are of poor quality and over engineered. *nm
