i just bought a 01 malibu and on that very same day, i went to start my car after work and it was completely dead. turns out, it had been stuck on accessory the whole time instead of turning off. i had to wiggle around the gear shift and hit it a few times-kid you not!- to get it to shift all of the way into park to turn off. i hope this helps.

I had tried the gear shift multiple times and that does not work. I replaced the key cylinder and the problem is still there?
