This is the first time I have used this site. This "anti-theft" problem has me convinced it will make it difficult for a real thief to steal my car, but don't do this to ME...REPEATEDLY!!! This is the second time it has occurred and the first time was really upsetting because it was snowing, cold, 8:00 in the evening and I was quite a distance from home and it was totally unsuspected, no indication whatsoever. I managed to get a ride home after having the car towed to a Chevy dealership that was not too far from where the car stopped. It cost me $600 for them to fix it and now it has happened again ( that was a year and a half ago). From reading the comments from this site, this is a frequent problem and there should be a recall and refund to all of those customers who got bilked on this problem. The dealership knew of this problem and never told me the frequency of this problem and what to do if it SHOULD occur again, this is collusion. I just happened to get on the internet to see if this problem could be overridden and came upon this site with a list of probable solutions, which I will attempt ( wish me luck) This is infuriating and the government should make them pay all customers back for any problems they experienced and permanently fix this problem without any expenses incurred by the customer. I saw one customer who listed a number ( I'll have to go back and get it, hopefully) and I will call that number to complain. I've had other issues with this car, but I'll get back with those, once I clear this existing problem.
