NHTSA Complaint #10343961 — 2001 CHEVROLET MONTE CARLO

MY 2001 CHEVROLET MONTE CARLO HAS HAD A RECURRING PROBLEM WHERE ON OCCASION THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START. THE KEY IS TURNED AND NOTHING HAPPENS. IN ORDER TO GET THE CAR TO START THE KEY MUST BE HELD IN THE START POSITION FOR APPROXIMATELY 30 SECONDS, THEN IT RUNS NORMALLY. IN THE PAST GM TOLD ME IT WAS THE BCM AND I HAVE, TO-DATE, SPENT OVER $700 "FIXING" THE PROBLEM WITHOUT SUCCESS. I RECENTLY BEGAN RESEARCHING ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH 1999 - 2004 GM VEHICLES BUT GM HAS REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE A FIX VIA RECALL (WHEREAS HONDA REPORTEDLY HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM AND DID ISSUE A RECALL). I URGE THE US GOVERNMENT TO FORCE GM TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM (POTENTIALLY WITH THEIR PASSLOCK SYSTEM) AND FIX OUR VEHICLES ONCE AND FOR ALL! PLEASE HELP! *TR
