5-17-07, something finally happened to the transmission,the car didn't want to go anywhere. They put it on a computer, couldn't find anything, they stated it was doing the things I said, but thought it was just a glich and would go away. I took it to our gm dealer as I had a warranty. In 2006 I had problems with the transmission, it didn't want to switch gears right away. I hope that someone can get through to them before someone seriously gets hurt or killed. While my insurance is covering the damages and not gm, I would think that they would at least want to look at this as a potential for a huge liability claim. While I understand than my child is well below driving age, I do believe that gm has a serious safety problem here. My son never touched the brake pedal, and the car came out of park and began to move. In three other areas the book claims that you must push the brake to get the shifter to move from park. In that section it tells you to place the parking brake on. When we called gm to inform them that this should be a safety concern that children can bypass this switch, they informed us the vehicle isn't designed for a two year old!!!!!! they also referred us to the owners manual claiming that this is a dinghy towing option. On July 8th while tightening down my child's car seat, my son again was able to bypass the safety switch by turning the key to the acc mode of the ignition and pushing the button on the shifter, he then started the car and began dragging me across a parking lot into a cement light pole.

It is obvious they have no clue how to fix it and refuse to acknowledge the problem. The 2010 chevy Malibu is a lemon! the problem began occurring after 1000 miles and we have given up taking it to the dealer to get fixed. This vehicle has been to the dealership more than 4 times for the issue and they always say it can't be replicated and have reprogrammed the computer. I guess before anyone will do anything about it people have to die first. This car is a death box and disaster waiting to happen. This problem causes a serious safety issue on the highway as cars are bearing down on you at 70 mph plus and your car refuses to accelerate. This will continue for quite some time and typically happens when outdoor ambient temp is above 90f.

Transmission forgets how to shift when driving uphill at around 65 mph and rpms start bouncing between 2000 to 2400 rpm.
