    The cherolet malibu we own thinks it is being stolen as the key has a computer chip in it and at times won't communicate with the computer in the car.today i had to have it towed for the third time because there is no other way to solve the problem other than getting it to the dealer.my husband and i are in poor health and need a reliable car.it has only 49000 miles on it.
