Consumer Description

INTERMITTENT FAILURE OF THE CHEVROLET PASSLOCK SYSTEM. THE ENGINE STARTS, BUT DIES IN ONE OR TWO SECONDS AND THE "SECURITY" LIGHT BEGINS FLASHING - OR THE ENGINE MAY NOT START AT ALL. IF I WAIT 10 TO 30 MINTUES AFTER THE FIRST ATTEMPT, I CAN USUALLY GET THE CAR RESTARTED BUT IF YOU DO A SEARCH ONLINE FOR GM PASSLOCK, YOU'LL FIND NUMEROUS WEBSITES REPORTING THIS ISSUE AND SUGGESTING THAT IT MAY EVENTUALLY GET SO BAD THAT THE CAR WILL NOT START AGAIN. THE GENERAL MOTORS PASSLOCK SYSTEM IS SUPPOSED TO PROTECT YORU CAR FROM THEFT BY PREVENTING THE FUEL SYSTEM FROM ENGAGING, HOWEVER; THIS MALFUNCTION IS HAPPENING TO OWNERS ALL ACROSS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. *TR
