2005 Chevrolet Classic electrical problems

I am having problems with the theft bypass system, on my 2005 chevy classic. Several months ago, I received a recall notice in the mail. It was for the ignition key rotation. When I brought my car into the dealership, I told them that I was having problems with the car (suddenly) dying. I told them that it had died when I was on the freeway (twice), while driving on the city streets, and in my driveway. I was told that the recall would fix the problem. Unfortunately, the problem persists. This past friday, late in the evening, my car (suddenly) died in the middle of a busy intersection. Through the grace of god, the drivers around me were paying attention -- I could have been in an awful accident. Several people, kindly, pushed my car into a parking lot. While in the parking lot, a mechanic stopped to look at the car. He told me that my chevy is well known for having a defective pass-lock sensor security system, which causes the vehicle to shut down suddenly. The mechanic stated that there might be a recall. Yet, I haven't been able to find that information -- gm is not helpful! After an hour or so, the car still wouldn't start. I had a friend tow me home. I am older and disabled and must have a reliable vehicle. I need to be able to drive to my doctor's appointment, via the freeway. Yet, I have (already) experienced my car (suddenly) dying on the freeway. I am terrified of getting into an accident and (possibly) hurting/killing myself and/or someone else. I, truly, believe that this defect is gm's responsibility to fix free of charge. Or, perhaps there is a recall that I'm unaware of? Either way, please help me. I am thanking you in advance.

Theft system activated and the vehicle cut off while driving causing a serious safety concern, this has happened numerous times, gm recalled this vehicle under recall number 14350, all the dealership did was apply small two small key rings, this did nothing to alleviate the problem, when I called gm to complain that the ignition switch is the problem and they should be replaced at no cost to the owner, they said that there is no recall for this problem even though this appears to be the exact fix for this problem, I paid my mechanic to replace the ignition switch, I would like to be reimbursed by gm. Thank you.

The car would not start. The lights on the dash came on, but there was no ignition, no sound of the engine trying to start. I could here the fuel pump start and stop. It was a cool, damp morning. Later that day, the car started with no problem. This happened several times, until we started parking the car in the garage.

I received a safety recall notice from gm on approx. 09/15/2014. It is about the ignition shutting off on various gm models and years. My car is apparently part of this recall. Their "fix" appears to be "placing a cover over the key head to limit other objects, I would assume: key ring, fob, other keys, etc. From moving as much while the car is being driven. This does not appear to me to "fix" the defective ignition.

Vehicle is a 2005 chevrolet classic in extremely good condition with low mileage for the year. I was teaching my 15yr old daughter how to drive and as we were turning through an intersection the car lost power and died. I had her try to start the car and after the third try it started. The car died again as we were driving home but started on the fourth try. I parked the car and tried to guess what may be wrong. I replaced the fuel filter and had the fuel pump replaced (twice) finally had to take it to a mechanic and paid $766.98 and several hours to diagnose a faulty ignition switch. I would like to be notified if this ignition switch is ever on a recall as this is a very dangerous thing to go out while driving.

The anti-theft light comes on and the car will not start. I have to turn the key to the on position and wait 10 minutes and try to start the car. Normally I only need to do this once and it starts. This has occurred on average about 1 or 2 times each month.
