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!!!

This complaint is about the 2000 chevrolet s-10 pickup truck with the 4 cln. Motor. It first started going dead while driving up the road. I would pull over, turn it completely off and restart it without a problem. After giving it a tune up it stopped going dead but began stalling when trying to pull off from a stop sign or traffic light. I would be surprised if no one has been killed yet because of this. I have asked several people I have seen with this type of truck and they have had the same problem.
