NHTSA Complaint #10490973 — 1999 CHEVROLET MALIBU

PASSLOCK SENSOR THEFT SYSTEM, I BELIEVE THIS WAS A HUGE MISTAKE FOR THE GM COMPANY. AS A OWNER OF THE 1999 CHEVY MALIBU, AND EXPER. THE PROBLEM MANY TIMES. I HAVE REVIEWED MANY COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS PART AS IT KEEPS THE VEHICLE FROM STARTING AND IS A VERY EXPENSIVE PART TO REPLACE. IT IS DANGEROUS AS WELL AS A INCONVENIENCE TO MANY....IT CAN TAKE UP TO TEN MINUTES FOR THE PASSLOCK SENSOR TO RESET IN WHICH CASE PARENTS MAY HAVE TO LEAVE THERE CHILDREN IN THE COLD OR REVERSE IN THE HEAT WHICH COULD BE DANGEROUS TO INFANTS OR TODDLERS.. MANY PEOPLE REPLACE THE PART FOR HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS AND IN RETURN IT DEFECTS AGAIN. IT CAUSES PEOPLE TO BE LATE FOR VERY IMPORTANT APPOINTMENTS SUCH AS DOCTORS VISITS OR EVEN THE CASE OF (WORK). I BELIEVE THE GM COMPANY SHOULD EVALUATE THE PART AND TRY TO COME UP WITH A SOLUTION. MANY PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT THIS PART IN WHICH IT SHOULD BE RECALLED. AS A OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE I FORESEE A VERY BIG LAWSUIT COMING ABOUT IN RESULT OF INJURY DUE TO THE SENSOR NOT WORKING PROPERLY. IT CAUSES MORE PROBLEMS WITH THE OWNER THAN IT DOES WITH THIEVES THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE WORKING AGAINST. *TR
