PASSLOCK 2 SYSTEM FAILS. VEHICLE SHUTS OFF AND CAN NOT BE RESTARTED FOR 15 MINUTES. THIS CAN HAPPEN WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING OR PARKED. IF IT KEEPS HAPPENING WHEN DRIVING, IT WILL CAUSE A SERIOUS, IF NOT FATAL, ACCIDENT. THIS THEFT DETERRENT SYSTEM FAILS 2-3 TIMES PER WEEK. THE ONLY SOLUTION IS TO REPLACE THE LOCK CYLINDER, WHICH IS ABOUT $500 AND ONLY AVAILABLE THROUGH THE DEALER. THIS SOLUTION DOES NOT ALWAYS WORK THOUGH. I HAVE HAD MINE REPLACED TWICE WITHIN A YEAR AND IT NEEDS IT AGAIN. GM SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS AND RECALL IT AND FIX IT RIGHT. IF YOU SEARCH FOR "PASS LOCK SYSTEM FAILURE" ON THE INTERNET, YOU WILL SEE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. *TR

MY FAULTY PASSLOCK SYSTEM CAUSES CAR NOT TO RECOGNIZE THE KEY AND DISABLES THE ENGINE FOR ANYWHERE FROM 10MINUTES TO SEVERAL HOURS. SOMETIMES THE "SECURITY" LIGHT WILL APPEAR IN THE MESSAGE CENTER WHILE I'M DRIVING, BUT MOST TIMES IT HAPPENS WITHOUT WARNING. I WILL PUT IN THE KEY, BUT WHEN I TURN IT, THE ENGINE IS DISABLED AND THE "SECURITY" LIGHT BLINKS. I HAVE TO WAIT 10MINUTES FOR IT TO RESTART, AND MORE OFTEN THAN NOT, IT JUST TRIPS ITSELF CONTINUALLY AND I'LL BE STUCK FOR 30MINUTES OR MORE. I HAVE BEEN LEFT STRANDED COUNTLESS TIMES IN THE HEAT, AND DREAD EVEN STOPPING FOR GAS FOR FEAR THAT MY CAR WON'T START AGAIN. IT IS A CONSTANT PROBLEM WHEN I TRAVEL OUT OF TOWN, AS I FEAR THAT IF I STOP IN A SMALL TOWN, I'LL BE COMPLETELY STRANDED IF MY CAR DOESN'T START BACK UP. TWO WEEKS AGO I DROVE OUT OF TOWN AND WENT 6 HOURS ONE WAY WITHOUT STOPPING BECAUSE THE SECURITY LIGHT WAS ON. THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM, AND A HAZARD TO PEOPLE'S HEALTH. IT'S ALSO DANGEROUS IF I GET A FLAT TIRE ON THE HIGHWAY AND IT WON'T START BACK UP, THEN I AM IN DANGER FOR NO REASON. I'VE ALSO WORRIED ABOUT PARKING IN A SCARIER PART OF TOWN, AND NOT BEING ABLE TO JUST DRIVE AWAY SAFELY IF I SEE SOME SHADY PEOPLE LURKING AROUND. THERE IS NO FIX FOR THIS, AS THE DEALER WILL CHARGE $600 AND NOT CORRECT THE ISSUE. MY 2000 IMPALA SHOULD BE RECALLED, AS THIS OBVIOUSLY FAULTY PASSLOCK SYSTEM POSES A THREAT TO HUMAN HEALTH AND SAFETY. I WILL NEVER BUY A CHEVY, GM, OR DODGE CAR AGAIN BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE THAT CHEVY HAS CONTINUED TO IGNORE. THOUSANDS COMPLAIN ON CHEVY FORUMS BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT IT. BIG BIG PROBLEM HERE. *TR

Official recalls
7Oct 26, 2015
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 1998-1999 Chevrolet Lumina and Oldsmobile Intrigue, 1997-2004 Buick Regal and Pontiac Grand Prix, 2000-2004 Chevrolet Impala, and 1998-2004 Chevrolet Monte Carlo vehicles. The affected vehicles were previously repaired under recalls 08V-118, 09V-116, and 15V-201 to address the possibility that engine oil may drip onto the hot exhaust manifold.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: Engine oil that drips onto the hot surface of the exhaust manifold may result in a fire.
Remedy: The remedy applied under recalls 08V-118, 09V-116, and 15V-201 did not adequately remove the safety risk. Under the improved remedy, dealers will replace the engines front valve cover and gasket. Vehicles that are covered by recalls 08V-118, 09V-116, or 15V-201 that have not yet received the original remedy will instead receive the improved remedy under the original recall number. The recall began on February 19, 2016. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020, Buick customer service at 1-800-521-7300, Oldsmobile customer service at 1-800-442-6537 and Pontiac customer service at 1-800-458-8006. GM's number for this recall is 15757. Note: Until the improved remedy has been applied, owners are advised to park their vehicle outside since the fire risk exists even when the vehicle is unattended.

Jul 3, 2014
This defect can affect the safe operation of the airbag system. Until this recall is performed, customers should remove all items from their key rings, leaving only the ignition key. The key fob (if applicable), should also be removed from the key ring. General Motors LLC (GM) notified the agency on July 3, 2014, that they are recalling 5,877,718 model year 2000-2005 Chevrolet Impala and Monte Carlo, 1997-2003 Chevrolet Malibu, 2004-2005 Malibu Classic, 1999-2004 Oldsmobile Alero, 1998-2002 Oldsmobile Intrigue, 1999-2005 Pontiac Grand Am and 2004-2008 Pontiac Grand Prix vehicles. In these models, the weight on the key ring and/or road conditions or some other jarring event may cause the ignition switch to move out of the run position, turning off the engine.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the key is not in the run position, the air bags may not deploy if the vehicle is involved in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will install two key rings and an insert in the key slot or a cover over the key head on all ignition keys, free of charge. The recall began on September 9, 2014. GM's number for this recall is 14350.

Feb 24, 2004
ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 3800 V6 (L36) ENGINES AND CERTAIN DELPHI FUEL PRESSURE REGULATORS, THE REGULATORS HAVE A MUCH HIGHER THAN USUAL RATE OF FUEL LEAKS. A LEAK CAN ALLOW FUEL TO ENTER THE INTAKE MANIFOLD THROUGH A VACUUM LINE. IF THE ENGINE DOES NOT START WHEN CRANKED, THE FUEL FROM THE LEAKING REGULATOR AND A MISTIMED SPARK CAN CAUSE A BACKFIRE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THE BACKFIRE CAN RUPTURE THE INTAKE MANIFOLD. THE RUPTURE OF THE INTAKE MANIFOLD CAN DISPLACE A FUEL LINE, PULLING AN INJECTOR OUT OF PLACE, AND CAUSING A FUEL LEAK AND POSSIBLE FIRE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSTALL NEW FUEL PRESSURE REGULATORS WITH IMPROVED DIAPHRAGMS. THE RECALL WILL BE CONDUCTED IN PHASED MAILINGS. PHASE 1 BEGAN ON JUNE 30, 2004, AND PHASE 2 BEGAN ON SEPTEMBER 30, 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT BUICK AT 1-866-608-8080, OLDSMOBILE AT 1-800-630-6537, OR PONTIAC AT 1-800-620-7668.
