NHTSA Complaint #10351521 — 2005 CHEVROLET CORVETTE

2005 CORVETTE PUSH BUTTON START INTERMITTENTLY WORKS . PASS KEY THAT ALLOWS YOU TO WALK UP ON THE CAR AND THE DOORS AUTOMATICALLY UNLOCK DOESN'T WORK EITHER. NO OVER RIDE TO THE SYSTEM TO GET THE CAR TO START. HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED FROM AN AIRPORT AREA TO 5 MILES AWAY AND THE VEHICLE STARTED RIGHT UP . THIS IS NOT SAFE BECAUSE I AM AFRAID TO TAKE THE CAR SOMEWHERE AND HAVE IT NOT START. MY 80K BMW HAS A PUSHBUTTON START AND SMART KEY AND IT DOESN'T HAVE THESE ISSUES. AS A SIDE NOTE, WHEN THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER PICKED UP MY CAR TO TOW IT, HE ASKED IF IT WAS A GM VEHICLE WITH A PUSH BUTTON START AND I SAID YES IT IS . HE SAID HE KNEW IT, BECAUSE OF THE AREA AND HE TOWS ABOUT 20 - 30 CARS A WEEK FROM THE SAME AREA ALL GM VEHICLES . *TR
