BODY CONTROL MODULE, PASS LOCK SENSOR, IGNITION SWITCH. WILL NOT ALLOW CAR TO START CORRECTLY OFTEN NOT AT ALL. IF RESEARCH IS DONE THERE IS THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ON GM VEHICLES WITH THIS SYSTEM HAVING THE SAME RECURRING PROBLEM. GM REFUSES TO ADMIT THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THIS SYSTEM. I HAVE NOT PERSONALLY HAD A INJURY CAUSED BY THIS PROBLEM BUT THE POTENTIAL FOR AN INJURY IS THERE. IF I CAN NOT START MY VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM IT CAN AND HAS LEFT ME IN A POSITION THAT IS POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS. *TR

MY 2000 IMPALAS PASS LOCK SYSTEM STOPS THE CAR FROM STARTING FOR UP TO 45 MINUTES AT A TIME. I TRY TO START THE CAR AND IT WONT TURN OVER OR DO ANYTHING. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I TRY TO START THE CAR. IT LEAVES MY FAMILY STRANDED WHEN WE TRY TO GO PLACES. WHAT WERE TO HAPPEN IF THERE WERE AN EMERGENCY? I'D BE STRANDED. ALSO THE STEERING CLUNKS ALOT WHEN I TURN. *TR

MY 2000 IMPALA HAS INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS WITH THE DIRECTION SIGNALS. AT TIMES THEY WORK FINE AND OTHER TIMES THEY DON'T. SOMETIMES WHILE THE DIRECTIONAL IS WORKING IT WILL STOP FOR NO REASON. THIS HAS RESULTED IN SEVERAL NEAR REAR END COLLISIONS EVEN WITH ARM SIGNALS. THIS OCCURS ON A NEARLY DAILY BASIS. I AM WAITING TO SEE IF THERE IS A RECALL AS THE COST TO REPLACE IS APPROXIMATELY $500 AS THE DIRECTIONAL SIGNAL IS SOLD AS A SINGLE UNIT (DIRECTIONAL ARM AND FLASHING UNIT ARE 1 PIECE). THE UNIT ITSELF IS OVER $300. *TR

I AM CONTINUOUSLY HAVING STEERING PROBLEMS WITH MY 2000 CHEVY IMPALA. I HAD THE RACK AND PINION REPLACED 11/07 WHEN I LOST CONTROL OF MY CAR AND COULD NOT TURN. I ALMOST WENT OF THE ROAD FROM THIS. I THEN HAD TO HAVE THE STEERING LUBED FOR SOME KNOCKING NOISE AND VIBRATION. HERE IT IS 2 YEARS LATER AND I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN. KNOCKING NOISE AND VIBRATION IN STEERING WHEN I TURN LEFT. I ONLY HAVE 106,000 MILES ON THIS CAR. WHEN IS IT YOU WILL HOLD THE COMPANY LIABLE FOR AN ISSUE THEY HAVE KNOWN ABOUT ALL ALONG? HOW MANY DEATHS WILL IT TAKE? *TR

PASSLOCK 2 SYSTEM FAILS. VEHICLE SHUTS OFF AND CAN NOT BE RESTARTED FOR 15 MINUTES. THIS CAN HAPPEN WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING OR PARKED. IF IT KEEPS HAPPENING WHEN DRIVING, IT WILL CAUSE A SERIOUS, IF NOT FATAL, ACCIDENT. THIS THEFT DETERRENT SYSTEM FAILS 2-3 TIMES PER WEEK. THE ONLY SOLUTION IS TO REPLACE THE LOCK CYLINDER, WHICH IS ABOUT $500 AND ONLY AVAILABLE THROUGH THE DEALER. THIS SOLUTION DOES NOT ALWAYS WORK THOUGH. I HAVE HAD MINE REPLACED TWICE WITHIN A YEAR AND IT NEEDS IT AGAIN. GM SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS AND RECALL IT AND FIX IT RIGHT. IF YOU SEARCH FOR "PASS LOCK SYSTEM FAILURE" ON THE INTERNET, YOU WILL SEE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. *TR
