THE PROBLEM IS WITH A 2002 CHEVY IMPALA. THE PROBLEM WITH THE CAR IS THE PASSIVE LOCK 2 SYSTEM.. THIS SYSTEM LOCKS THE CAR OUT AND KEEPS IT FROM STARTING FOR ANY WHERE TO 15-30 MINS AT A TIME. THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE THING FOR ME I AM A SECURITY OFFICER AND FIND MYSELF IN AREAS THAT I NEED TO GET OUT OF AND CAN'T BECAUSE OF THE CAR NOT START DO TO THE FAILING OF THIS SYSTEM THIS IS A ON GOING PROBLEM WITH ALOT OF GM MADE CARS FROM THE YEARS 1999-2004 I HAVE DONE ALOT OF RESEARCH WITH REPAIR SHOPS IN MY AREA AND OUT OF THE AREA. EVERYONE OF THIS PLACE I HAVE CALLED OR BEEN TO HAS TOLD ME THE SAME THING AND THAT IS THEY GET AT LEST ONE GM MADE CAR WITH IN THESE YEARS ONCE A MONTH. THE PROBLEM IS A FAULT IN THE PASS2 SYSTEM THE ONLY WAY TO FIX THIS PROBLEM IS TO TAKE IT TO A GM DEALER OR A AUTO ELECTION TO FIX THIS AND THE COST OF THIS IS OVER $500.00 . CHEVY REFUSES TO DO A RECALL ON THEIR PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR. AND OTHER CARS. *TR
