Passlock Fix - This site sells a part that will bypass your defective passlock system. You are not alone because many many people have been kept out of thier OWN cars because of this defective system. This part will bypass the whole system so you never have trouble again. It is much cheaper than taking it to a dealer. Worth a look for sure.
I called Chevy Motor Company and told them they are responsible for Resetting/fixing/bypassing this stupid feature. I told them that they put this crappy feature in vehicles, didn't give the consumers a choice whether they wanted it or not.
I am on the phone with GM and they claim they are documenting this problem. I am telling them they sold go to each consumer that has a stupid Passlock and reset the thing.
I told them I feel Chevrolet set this Passlock thing up as a way to get consumers back to the dealership to keep milking them for money every time it needs a reset. I voiced that it looks like a scam and I am following thru with BBB complaints next.
I am on the phone with the consumer relations department. They are opening a new claim for Passlock errors. Call them At 1-800-222-1020 and ask to speak with the manager. Keep bugging these people.
If enough people bitch about this they can make a formal recall.
The security light came on while driving two days ago. I read the manual and since the light was solid, there appeared to be no urgency in getting it to a mechanic. The manual simply says the vehicle will not be protected by Passlock during this time. So I thought, big deal, the chances of someone stealing my old blazer are slim, so I kept on driving. The next day however the car would not start stranding us in over 100 degree temperatures during a heat wave. After several phone calls to local dealerships, their only suggestion was to completely change out the ignition switch citing electrical shorting in the wiring (at a cost of around $500). The dealerships say there is no way to disable the Passlock system. I am going to try and replace the fuse, other than that I am not sure how we are going to fix this problem. We have a small child so sitting in a hot or cold car for 10 minutes everytime we need to go somewhere is absolutely NOT acceptable. Chevrolet should come up with a more affordable way to correct the problem or disable this wonderful standard feature we paid for when we bought the vehicle!
