NHTSA Complaint #10189209 — 2001 CHEVROLET IMPALA

2001 CHEVROLET IMPALA..PASSLOCK SECURITY LOCKOUT PROBLEM...ONE WEEK AGO, I CHANGED THE OIL IN MY WIFE'S IMPALA, AND DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY CONNECTIONS, TO CLEAN AND LUBE THEM. CAR WOULD NOT START AGAIN, AND ONE WEEK LATER, IT STILL HAS NOT STARTED. I AM CURRENTLY UNEMPLOYED, IN A VERY DEPRESSED AREA OF UPSTATE NEW YORK, AND WE ARE TRYING TO HANG ON TO OUR HOME, THOUGH THAT LOOKS IN DOUBT. DID NOT NEED THIS TO HAPPEN RIGHT NOW, AND I AM ABSOLUTELY FURIOUS THAT GM WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS WIDESPREAD PROBLEM, AND THAT THEY HAVE YOU PAY FOR IT, WHEN IT HAPPENS TO YOU. THIS PASSLOCK PROBLEM IS FOUND ON ALL MAKES OF GM CARS. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE INTERNET, AND THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE OUT THERE WITH THIS PROBLEM, YET NOTHING IS BEING DONE. I CANNOT PAY THE $500.00 TO $1000.00 TO GET THIS JUNK GOING, AND IF YOU READ THE FORUMS ONLINE, YOU WILL SEE THAT IF YOU DO, THE PROBLEM WILL COME BACK ANYWAY! SORRY, BUT THE TERM LEGAL SCAM COMES TO MIND. SO, MY WIFE AND I ARE OUT OF A CAR....TOO BAD WE STILL HAD FAITH IN AMERICA...WHEN IS SOMETHING GOING TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS? BIG BROTHER WINS AGAIN...THIS IS AN OUTRAGE, A SHAME, A DOWNRIGHT CRIME...ACTION TO REIMBURSE OWNERS FOR THEIR PURCHASE PRICE WOULD BE NICE, BECAUSE EVEN IF THIS CAR IS FIXED NOW, I NO LONGER WISH TO HAVE THIS LEMON, WHICH FORCED ME TO REPLACE THE BRAKES ON ALL 4 WHEELS AT 24K MILES, DUE TO BAD DESIGN!!! *TR
