2005 Chevrolet Malibu transmission problems

POWER TRAIN

This problem has occurred many times and I have taken to the internet to find out what I could to try to remedy it myself as I don't have endless disposable income to have someone else fix it. I have not had it seen by a professional, only consulted with a manager of a gm dealership repairs department over the phone as well as various mechanics and locksmiths. As I said I don't have endless disposable money to throw at this. The car will completely shut off in the middle of driving, I lose all power. The antitheft system engages in the middle of driving. Then I get no crank no start. I get stuck in the middle of the road. In the past I was able to just turn the key off and remove it and let it sit for a while and then it would let me start it again, this began a year ago and has gotten progressively worse and more frequent since it first occurred and I am now at the point where the car is completely no crank no start and anti theft system will not disengage. From my own research online I've found many others complaining of similar problems and they say it's related to gm passlock system.

WELL AFTER A DAY OF NO ISSUES I WAS DRIVING WENT TO PARK AND I PUT MY CAR INTO PARK THE CAR DIED AND REVERSED A LITTLE BIT. IT NOW WON'T TURN OVER AND WON'T MAKE ANY NOISE UNDER THE HOOD. I TRIED JUMPING IT BUT THAT DIDN'T WORK AND I TRIED TO SEE IF MAYBE THE ANTI LOCK SYSTEM SHUT IT OFF BUT IT'S NOT THAT EITHER. WHEN I TURN THE KEY TO THE ON POSITION IT SAYS IT'S STILL IN REVERSE AND WHEN I MOVE THE SHIFTER IT DOESN'T REGISTER ON THE DASHBOARD. SO MY CAR STILL THINKS I'M IN REVERSE.

I HAD TO BUY A TRANSMISSION FOR MY MALIBU AND NOW I AM RECEIVING RECALLS (MULTIPLE) # 14152 & #13036 FOR THE SAME CAR. HOWEVER, ON THE FREEWAY COMING HOME FROM TEMECULA, CA, SOUTH BOUND ON THE 15 HIGHWAY, MY TRANSMISSION WAS NOT ENGAGING. NO LOUD SOUNDS, OR EXCESS ACCELERATION, NOR TOO MUCH WEIGHT (DRIVER AND PASSENGER ONLY CARGO.) THE ENGINE WAS ON AND AS I ACCELERATED THE ENGINE WAS GOING BUT NOTHING WAS PROPELLING US FORWARD. I HAD TO BUY A NEW TRANSMISSION AND PAY FOR LABOR WHICH CAME OUT TO A HEFTY EXPENSE. WITH EVERYTHING I HAVE READ ONLINE AND FORUMS FOR THESE RECALLS I FEEL LIKE A REIMBURSEMENT SHOULD BE IN ORDER IF THE MANUFACTURE EVEN HAD A SLIGHT HESITATION OF A POSSIBLE DEFECT.

AFTER DAUGHTER STOPPED AT RED TRAFFIC LIGHT CAR WOULD NOT GO FORWARD. ONLY GEAR WAS REVERSE. DROVE BACKWARDS TO SAFE LOCATION. CAR WOULD NOT GO INTO ANY OTHER GEAR. I AM ON DISABILITY SO I DID ASSUME MY TRANSMISSION WENT OUT. SO I DID REPLACE. MY EX-HUSBAND DOING ALL WORK IN MY DRIVEWAY, AS I CAN'T AFFORD MECHANIC. LONG AND SHORT OF IT STILL WOULDN'T GO INTO PARK. DISCOVER IT WAS THE SHIFT CABLE. ORDER SHIFT CABLE DIRECTLY FROM DEALERSHIP. REPLACED AND EVERYTHING WORKS FINE. NOTHING WAS EVEN MENTIONED WHEN I WOULD CALL DEALERSHIP TO ASK QUESTION ABOUT GETTING THE RIGHT TRANSMISSION FOR MY CAR, BECAUSE I GUESS THERE WAS THREE DIFFERENT ONES. NOTHING WAS EVEN MENTIONED WHEN I ORDER MY CABLE THROUGH THE DEALERSHIP THAT THERE WAS A RECALL. PROBLEM IS GM DOESN'T WANT TO REIMBURSE BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE THE WORK DONE BY A LICENSED MECHANIC. I HAD TALK TO A SENIOR ADVISOR AND THIS IS THE INFORMATION SHE HAD GIVEN TO ME. I FEEL THIS IS NOT FAIR JUST BECAUSE OF MY FINANCIAL SITUATION. I RECEIVED MY RECALL LETTER IN JULY 2014 ABOUT RECALL AND ANOTHER LETTER JANUARY 16, 2015 LETTING ME KNOW THAT WORK COULD BE DONE. I AM HOPING YOU CAN HELP ME WITH THIS ISSUE OR I CAN TRY LEGAL AID. THANK YOU.
