Bad shakes. I know of nothing other than suspension / wheel issues that will cause this. Since this is an auction car, try looking up the service history for your VIN number online. That would tell you of significant damage in the car's past.
Take the car to a tire store and have the wheels balanced. If the tech's can do this without problem, then the tires and wheels are probably fine, on to suspension. Take the car to a body shop and have them check the frame and suspension components. Checking should be cheap, it is fixing that costs.

You probably have way too much unburned fuel in your exhaust system (how's your mileage?) or possibly a failed oxygen sensor that is giving false information to the computer.

SOURCE: I have a 2005 Chevy Malibu Maxx. It has a TC

i think it stands for traction control. most cars with that say ETC which stands for electronic traction control. if you have a manual for the car it should say what it is.

SOURCE: 99 Chevy Malibu running hot

Cooling system should be pressure tested to find leaks. If leak is not external, look for intake manifold gaskets leaking coolant into the cylinders. Make sure you fill at the radiator as well as the plastic reservoir. Low heat from the heater is the first sign of low engine coolant

2005 chevy aveo misfiring when shifting into second and third gear

Lexxie Rock you say you paid 18,000 plus 10.000 in repairs for a 2005 Chevy Aveo? Are we talking US dollars or pesos? This car tops is not worth more than $ 5500.00, I think you need to call an attorney and forget putting any more money in this rag!

Just bought a chevy malibu 2009 wont start

Thats a BIG only problem. Did you ever hear it run?? Do you have the correct key? I would have a shop look at it, maybe the engines fried ,and that why you dont buy cars at an auction unless you know what you are doing.

Problems starting

I own a 1998 Chevy Malibu personally, change the ignition switch I had the identical issue, the switch eventually stopped turning completely, my vehicle had to be towed!! Save yourself a headache, I got one from a junkyard for 2.00, but it had to be programmed for the vehicle, I would take it to a trusted shop or dealer.

2005 Chevy Malibu starting problem

sounds like its a gas problem. i would normally say its the pump but if you replaced it already then its not likely. i would look and see if there is anything in the tank clogging the pump. something may have got sucked up in there while you are turning.

2004 Chevy Malibu won't start and shakes when stopped at light

The next time it starts shaking and acting up its the time to have a fuel pressure test, or maybe if you can't remember the last time the fuel filter been chg. do that and see if it dosent run any better. Could be filter getting cloged up, or maybe pump getting weak and dosent show up until its run a while and has got warm.
