NHTSA Complaint #10408593 — 2001 CHEVROLET IMPALA

AS I'VE FOUND FROM MANY OTHER FOLKS THROUGH THE INTERNET AND IN PERSON, THE PASSLOCK SYSTEM IN MY 2001 IMPALA IS FAULTY AND DANGEROUS! THE BEST CASE SCENARIO THE ENGINE WON'T START AND WHEN YOU COME BACK 15 MINUTES LATER IT STARTS JUST FINE ASSUMING YOU ARE IN THE COMFORTS OF YOUR OWN LIVING SPACE. WHEN ON THE ROAD THIS IS A SEVERE PROBLEM!! ALSO, MY WIFE RECENTLY WAS DRIVING THROUGH AND INTERSECTION AND THE VEHICLE JUST QUIT! SAME ISSUE. WAIT AND IT STARTS!!! NOW IN THIS CASE THERE WASN'T AND ACCIDENT, BUT VERY EASILY COULD HAVE BEEN!! CARS DYING WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN IS NOT MY IDEA OF A SAFE VEHICLE!!! SINCE THAT EPISODE, WE'VE HAD THE VEHICLE LOOKED AT, BUT NO ONE SEEMS TO BE ABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM. AFTER SOME RESEARCH, I'M NOW 100% SURE IT'S THE PASSLOCK ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM. ONCE AGAIN, THIS VERY MORNING WE WENT TO DROP KIDS AT DAYCARE AND THE CAR WOULD NOT START............WAIT 15 MINUTES AND IT STARTS JUST FINE. THERE IS AND OBVIOUS PROBLEM WITH THE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM ON THESE VEHICLES AND THEY NEED TO BE ADDRESSED!!! *TR
