When the key is inserted into key hole in steering column, the key holder does not allow the key to rotate to start ignition. Several attempts are required to finally rotate the key to start the engine. The same problem occurs when I try to stop the engine. I took th vehicle to the dealer.

2000 chevy s10 2.2l auto 76k mi. Passlock issue. Will not start. Left stranded then starts after 10 min or so. I have to leave the motor running when filling up with gas otherwise car will not move for 10 minutes.emergency situation car will not move right away. What if it stalls in traffic or on railroad tracks? This happens randomly every 4-5 start cycles. My understanding this has been an ongoing gm issue. Ether disable it or fix it. I have replaced both the ignition switch and the key lock assembly at great expense and the problem still exists gm offers no assistance in this manner!!!

Bought a 2000 chevy truck from a used car dealer in oct. 2005. It had approx. 92,000 miles on it. Over the last year I have had to replace the starter 3 times. With only approx. 35,000 miles being put on truck. In late may of 2008 we were told that flywheel had to be replaced also because it was the additional problem. Less than 2 months later starter is bad and now they are telling me that it might be a bad cam sensor. Dealership has told me that a service memo has gone out to mechanics. Who is responsible for the repairs and my loss time of work ? Thank you for your help. [xxx] *tr information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
