1999 PONTIAC PONTIAC Electrical Systemignitionanti Theftcontrol Module Problems

1999 GRAND AM GT SECURITY LIGHT HAS BEEN A ONGOING PROBLEM EVERY SENSE I PURCHASED MY CAR AND THAT WAS OVER A YEAR AGO. PROBLEM HAPPENED A MONTH AFTER A HAD THE CAR I COULD NOT TAKE THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER THE WARRANTY WAS OVER WITH 30 DAYS AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. *AK

I HAVE BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE GM PASSLOCK SYSTEM. RECENTLY, IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE. IN THE PAST 5 DAYS IT HAS MALFUNCTIONED 1-2 TIMES A DAY. WHEN I AM DRIVING, THE SECURITY LIGHT COMES ON AND I KNOW FROM MY MANUAL THAT IT MEANS THERE IS A PROBLEM. OTHER TIMES IT CUTS THE FUEL SUPPLY AND I AM STRANDED. I DON'T THINK IT IS SAFE FOR A YOUNG FEMALE TO BE STUCK SOMEWHERE WHERE HER VEHICLE WON'T START. WHAT IF THERE WAS A DANGEROUS SITUATION OR AN EMERGENCY? IT HAS MADE ME LATE TO CLASSES AND TO WORK. I DID NOT REALIZE THAT OTHERS WERE HAVING A PROBLEM UNTIL I LOOKED IT UP ON THE INTERNET. IT REALLY SHOCKED ME THAT MANY OTHERS WERE HAVING TO DEAL WITH THIS. I THOUGHT I JUST BOUGHT A DEFECTIVE CAR. I HAVE TO LOOK INTO DISABLING THE PASSLOCK SYSTEM BECAUSE I DO...

OUT OF NOWHERE THE "SECURITY" LIGHT ON MY DASH LIGHTS UP....NOW I HAVE CONSTANT PROBLEMS STARTING MY CAR. THIS IS A SEVERELY DANGEROUS PROBLEM FOR ME AS I WORK IN CAMDEN,NJ...ONE OF THE MOST VIOLENT CITIES IN THE UNITED STATES...THIS SEEMS TO BE A "PASSLOCK" PROBLEM THAT SEEMS TO HAPPEN ON ALL PONTIAC GRAND AM'S....I AM ALMOST AFRAID TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE NOW FOR FEAR IT WON'T START IN A CRITICAL SITUATION! *JB
