**2015 Chevrolet Malibu β€” Estimated Repair Costs**

| Repair | Parts | Labor | Total Range |
|--------|-------|-------|-------------|
| **Front Brakes** (pads + rotors) | ~$104–$123 | ~$158–$185 | **$263–$342** |
| **Crankshaft Position Sensor** | ~$51–$67 | ~$114–$167 | **$286–$416** |
| **Combined (front brakes + sensor)** | β€” | β€” | **~$549–$758** |

**Notes**
- Brake pricing above is for one axle (front **or** rear). Since you need front brakes only, use the front-axle range shown.
- Crankshaft sensor labor can vary because the 2.5L 4-cylinder in the 2015 Malibu requires some intake/trans mount accessibility work. Dealers/independent shops around Gary, IN will likely land on the higher end of that bracket.
- If you want the best deal, get both quotes from at least 2 independents; some shops will combine labor if you do both jobs in one visit.

From the Illinois SOS sources I checked, **statutory summary suspension is an administrative action against your driving privileges**, not necessarily a direct ban on vehicle titling/registration by itself.

However, registration can still be blocked if there are additional holds on your record, such as:
- outstanding reinstatement fees
- court-ordered restrictions
- financial responsibility / SR-22 requirements
- other suspensions or revocations layered on top

So the answer isn't an automatic **yes** or **no** β€” it depends on whether the SOS has placed a separate registration/title hold along with the SSS.

Because this looks personally tied to your Illinois situation, the safest move is to:
1. call the Illinois Secretary of State Driver Services Department at **217-782-7065** or **312-793-2429**, or
2. check your exact record status with a **DUI/traffic attorney** if you need clarity before buying/registering.
