Passlock system engages without cause. When starting my truck, it acts like it will and then shuts down after a second, and then the security light comes on. This is common with past lock system errors. This happens about 1 out of 4 starts. To get the car started, i have to go through a reset process that takes over 30 min, which causes battery drain. This has left myself and family members stranded in unsafe…

The clicker stopped working so we bought a new battery for it. The truck started ran just fine. Shut the truck off and tried starting it again and nothing. Now its like the security system isn't reading the driver door. So the more we try we are finding that this truck must of been redone sometime. The key doesn't unlock the door. You must use the clicker.

Rear passenger door locks will not operate making it almost impossible to exit the vehicle quickly inthe event of an emergency. The steering is very sloppy at speeds above 30 mph. At higher speeds the vehicle will wonder all over the road making it very hard to operate safely. *tr

I have had nothing but trouble with rotted rotors, pads that don't wear right, brake lines that rotted and rusted away that they needed to be all replaced in july of 2006. A six year old motor vehicle should not have to have all the lines replaced. The bill was $1,200. Next a abs front wheel sensor recall was done at best chevy, hingham, mass. The abs lights came on and off at their own pace. I had new front…

Now the fuel gauge still acts up and it does not give…

Passlock ii system if faulty, leading to having the occupants of the vehicle stranded for 10 minutes to hours waiting for the system to reset itself. System misreads the key's resistance value and disables the fuel for a period of time, frequently over an hour. My system faults more frequently in hot, humid weather, leading me to believe the moisture from the humidity is lowering the ohms causing a misread of the…
