GM HAS A SECURITY SYSTEM CALLED PASSLOCK THAT OVER TIME SEEMS TO FAIL AND TRIPS A "FAILURE" AND FLASHES A KEY SYMBOL ON THE DASH AND DISABLES STARTING YOUR VEHICLE UNTIL IT RESETS 10 MINUTES LATER. THIS OCCURS TO MY WIFE ALMSOT 50% OF THE TIME SHE TRIES TO START HER VEHICLE. SO FAR GM HAS COME FORWARD WITH A FIX YET I'VE SEEN POSTS ON HUMMER FORUMNS FROM HUNDREDS OF OWNERS. THIS HAS MANY SAFETY CONCERNS AS WELL AS JUST BEING A GENERAL ANNOYANCE: 1) IN LAS VEGAS WE ROUTINELY SEE TEMPATURES OVER 110F. IF THE SYSTEM TRIPS AND YOU HAVE TO WAIT 10 MINUTES IN THAT HEAT IT CAN BE DEADLY 2) MISSING APPONTMENTS OR BEING LATE TO WORK BECAUSE YOU VEHICLE INTENTIONALLY IS DISABLING ITSELF IT UNACCEPTABLE 3) GROCERIES COLD/FROZEN STUCK IN THE HEAT FOR 10 MINUTES WAITING FOR A RESET GET RUINED 4) MY WIFE WHEN ALONE IS STUCK WAITING OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE IN THE HEAT OR LOCKING HERSELF INSIDE WAITING FOR THE SYSTEM TO RESET CAN LEAVE HER EXPOSED TO CRIMINAL TYPES

WHEN HAVING BRAKE WORK DONE ON MY VEHICLE IT WAS FOUND TO HAVE BULGES IN 3 OF THE 4 BRAKE LINES.

WE HAD BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE AC NOT WORKING AS WELL AS IT USED TO AND BLAMED IT ON THE AGE OF THE VEHICLE. THE FIRST TIME WE TOOK A TRIP OUTSIDE OF TOWN AND AFTER 1.5 HOURS OF DRIVING, THE AC COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING. WE LOOKED AT THE BLOWER MOTOR CONNECTOR MODULE AND NOTICED DISCOLORATION AND MELTING OF A PLASTIC WIRE CONNECTOR. WE HAD ORDERED THE PART TO REPLACE IT WHEN WE HEARD THE RECALL ANNOUNCED ON TV. WE RETURNED THE PART AND ARE WAITING FOR THE LOCAL GMC DEALER TO GET THE RECALL NOTICE.
