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).*

I own a 2006 chevrolet colorado ls. Inexplicably and randomly, it shifts itself into 4wd high. Often this is while making a right hand turn. Chevrolet stopped servicing my vehicle, telling me there was no cure for this problem. It has happened at high speeds on the highway as well. The most recent date this happened was yesterday while I was turning into my post office. This has been a constant problem since the recorded mileage was 2,109. Records will show the truck was in for service by gm at least 15 times. Incidentally, this is a replacement truck for a 2005 colorado that had precisely the same problem. Before the dealer was shut down by gm, the service manager told me that gm detroit had told him not to service the vehicle for this problem any longer as gm had no cure for it.
