Consumer Description

MY 2003 IMPALA HAS A SECURITY PASSLOCK FEATURE WHICH EITHER DOES NOT ALLOW VEHICLE TO START OR SHUT VEHICLE OFF WHEN IT THINKS IT'S BEING STOLEN. MY VEHICLE RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING WHEN THIS SECURITY LIGHT COMES ON, AT THIS POINT I LOSE ALL CONTROL OF VEHICLE FUNCTIONS. THIS IS AN APPARENT PROBLEM WITH THOUSANDS OS GM VEHICLES THAT THEY KNOW ABOUT BUT GIVE NO SOLUTION OR RECALL TO. INSTEAD, CONSUMERS ARE BEING STUCK FOOTING THE BILL TO TRY AND FIND A SOLUTION TO A PROBLEM NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW HOW TO SOLVE. PLEASE HELP HOLD GM RESPONSIBLE AND REPAIR OUR VEHICLES BEFORE FATALITIES OCCUR. THERE ARE PAGES OF POSTS IN SEVERAL FORUMS ONLINE WITH PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH NO HELP. *TR
