Pass lock security system.while driving my vehicle the pass lock security system shut my vehicle down late at night around 11pm.I was stranded the truck would not start because the lock was showing on the dash gauges.I recently had major open heart surgery and I am 62 years old.I was stuck all night long out in the country here in north central florida and this is bear country here.I had to walk about 8 miles the next morning as there arent many people driving out here that time of day.I thought I was going to die out there in the woods.I was scared to death.I dont carry all my heart medecine with me as I thought I would be gone from home maybe an hour or two at the most.this vehicle has not been able to be started for about 2 months because of this security system.it cost me a fortune to have it towed the next day $250 and have had 3 chevy mechanics with their diagnostic machines tell me nothing wrong with vehicle except pass lock system and it could not be reset by them,at a cost of $125 each.now the dealer says tow it to them and they will put their computer on it to for $125 but wont guarantee they can reset it either.I will never buy a nother chevy product ever again or any vehicle with this type of security system on it.I just thank god I was alright after all this crap happened to me.

Firstly the passlock system is a huge issue, if the parts in the system ignition system break down or trip you can be stuck high and dry on a whim. Passlock system is prime reason for my worries when driving my truck will cut fuel out and shut down and stall when I'm driving or need to start up my truck again also the blower resistor and cable are faulty as are other electrical systems but the blower motor resistor is outright a fire hazard that can melt or burn out. Gm needs to stop (#ing) around with passlock system and other issues I will not be driving or owning another gm in my lifetime after my troubles with this passlock system nobody should be having to deal with this problem 3rd party or have repeated service or parts installed to silence this issue for a time. Just think of having been stuck high and dry threw not fault of your own outside the passlock system there are quite a few very very negative problems many have had with these 2 systems above I would love gm to pay me for missed work days and personal expenses for having had to fix mend and make this system work as I stright up bought a new ECM/PCM tuned it removed passlock because the risk and issues were to great nobody needs this problem hanging over their heads this issue pisses me off as I'd spent days doing relearn procedures 40 min per procedure several times until one stuck as per instructions gm wont even respond or not (x) this up if you need service too I will not be owning any more gm or chevy again. If you need to fix this system just remove it. So sad dealers are greedy and gm is too rather then make things right with long standing issues and complaints passlock system and blower motor and a few other things need recalls no ifs ands or butts this is exactly how you will go bankrupt again (@)ing customers who paid for your broken sales pitch to buy your snake oil *parts of this document have been redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).*
