THE PASSLOCK ANTI-THEFT DEVICE KEEPS MY VEHICLE FROM STARTING THINKING IT'S BEING STOLEN.. DISABLING THE FUEL PUMP.. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND HAS ALSO MADE ME LATE FOR WORK SEVERAL TIMES AND STRANDED. IT STARTED OCCURRING THIS YEAR JULY 22, 2017 WITH NO PRIOR INCIDENTS. IT'S OCCURRING ON A REGULAR INTERVAL AND IT'S GETTING TO THE POINT THAT I CANT RELY ON MY VEHICLE TO START AS NORMAL. PLEASE LET THERE BE A RECALL ON GETTING THE MANUFACTURER GENERAL MOTORS TO FIX THIS ON MY COLORADO AS IT'S THE ONLY FAULT ON THIS VEHICLE. THE FAULTY PASSLOCK SYSTEMS SHOULD BE A RECALLED ITEM SINCE IT WILL DISABLE THE FUEL PUMP AND HAVING TO WAIT 10 MINUTES FOR THE THE SYSTEM TO RESET AT UNKNOWN OR UNSAFE PLACES. I AM A SINGLE MOTHER WITH TWO KIDS AND I RELY ON MY VEHICLE TO COMMUTE TO AND FROM SCHOOL AND WORK. LUCKILY THE INCIDENTS HAVE OCCURRED AT WORK, AT HOME, AT WALMART PARKING LOT.. BUT WHO KNOWS WHEN THE SYSTEM DECIDED AS IT GETS WORST. MY SEVENTEEN YEAR OLD SON HAS TAKEN THE VEHICLE OUT AND I'M ALWAYS WORRIED ABOUT THIS SAFETY DUE TO THIS FAULTY PASSLOCK ANTI-THEFT DEVICE. THE VEHICLE HAS 181,450 MILES, NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS SHOW ON DASH.. OTHER THAN THIS ISSUE.. IT'S THE ONLY REASON THE VEHICLE IS MOSTLY PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY.. ONLY MYSELF WILL TAKE THE DRIVE IT FOR SHORT DISTANCES. I WISH AND HOPE TO HAVE THE MANUFACTURER RENDER A NEEDED RECALL ON THIS PASSLOCK ANTI-THEFT DEVICE SYSTEM... .UPDATED 10/04/17 *BF

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND NOTICED MY CRUISE CONTROL WOULDN'T COME ON. I FIGURED IT WAS A FUSE AND WOULD GET TO IT AFTER WORK. WHEN I PULLED INTO WORK A COWORKER WHO WAS BEHIND ME TOLD ME I HAD NO BRAKE LIGHTS. CHECKED ALL FUSES, ALL WERE FINE. TOOK THE TRUCK TO A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THE BRAKE SWITCH AND/OR WIRES HAD BURNT UP AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I PAID OVER $500 FOR THE REPAIR. LATER FOUND OUT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS INCIDENT, BUT IT DID NOT COVER MY VIN. I CALLED GM AND COMPLAINED AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS A "SPECIAL COVERAGE" SO THEY REIMBURSED ME A PORTION OF MY REPAIR COSTS. FAST FORWARD TO FEBRUARY 10, 2014 AND I HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. NO CRUISE BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY NO BRAKE LIGHTS. I CALLED GM TO COMPLAIN AGAIN AND WAS AGAIN TOLD MY VIN DOES NOT FALL UNDER THE RECALL (RECALL NO. 09049). WAS ALSO TOLD THE SPECIAL COVERAGE EXPIRED 4 MONTHS AGO. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND TRIED TO USE THE CRUISE CONTROL AND IT DIDN'T WORK. MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE ALSO NOT WORKING. I DIDN'T KNOW MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING UNTIL I HAD TO SLOW DOWN FOR A CAR IN FRONT OF ME AND A CAR BEHIND ME ALMOST HIT ME. IT WASN'T UNTIL I GOT OFF THE EXPRESSWAY AND A MAN TOLD ME MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING. I CHECKED THE FUSES AND THEY ARE ALL IN WORKING ORDER. I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THE TOLD ME THAT MY 2007 CHEVY COLORADO WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS SORT OF PROBLEM. HE SAID MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT ONE OF THOSE RECALLED. *TR
