2005 Chevrolet Classic

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHEVROLET CLASSIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SECURITY SYSTEM WOULD ACTIVATE WHEN HE ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE, PREVENTING IT FROM STARTING. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON AN INTERMITTENT BASIS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP WHERE THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 82,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

BOTH RIGHT AND LEFT REAR SEAT BELTS COULD NOT BE PULLED OUT AROUND PASSENGER TO CLICK INTO LOCKING DEVICE. AFTER MANY ATTEMPTS ON BOTH BELTS TAKING 5 TO 6 MINUTES, WITH ASSISTANCE FROM ANOTHER PASSENGER, REAR SEAT OCCUPANT WAS FINALLY ABLE TO GET RIGHT SIDE REAR BELT TO DEPLOY AROUND BODY AND CLICK IN LOCK. PROBLEM SEAMED TO BE IN THE SEAT BELT SAFETY LOCKING MECHANISM THAT STOPS BELT IN PLACE WHEN AN ACCIDENT OCCURS OR BRAKES ARE APPLIED IN A HARD MANNER.

MY 2005 CHEVY CLASSIC STALLS AND THE ANTI-THEFT LIGHT COMES ON THE DASHBOARD. THE CAR WON'T START AFTER REPEATED ATTEMPTS. HAPPENS AT IDLE OR AT SPEED. VERY DANGEROUS. CAR APPEARS TO THINK IT'S BEEN STOLEN. I HAVE FOUND THAT I CAN RESTART AFTER I TURN THE KEY OFF AND BACK ON REPEATEDLY. I HAVE NOW GOTTEN TO THE POINT THAT I CAN HEAR THE FUEL PUMP COME ON ONLY AFTER MANY TRIES, AND THEN IT STARTS. I'VE HAD THE IGNITION REPLACED AND FULL TUNE UP. THE MECHANIC SAYS THAT THERE ARE NO ERROR CODES IN THE COMPUTER TO RESEARCH. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT IN THE DESIGN OF THE CAR AND GM CAN EITHER RECALL IT OR GET SUED WHEN SOMEONE GETS HURT. I'VE BEEN LUCKY SO FAR TO BE ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE SAFELY, OR IT OCCURS WHILE STOPPED. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVY CLASSIC THAT FAILS TO START DUE TO A FAULTY SECURITY SYSTEM. WHEN THE CAR FAILS TO START THE SECURITY SYSTEM LIGHT BEGINS FLASHING. IN ORDER TO RESET THE SECURITY SYSTEM I HAVE TO PLACE THE KEY IN THE ON POSITION AND WAIT FOR 10 MINUTES. THE SECURITY LIGHT STOPS FLASHING AND I CAN THEN TAKE THE IGNITION TO THE OFF POSITION AND ATTEMPT TO START THE CAR AGAIN (IT SOMETIMES FAILS TO START AGAIN AND THERE GOES ANOTHER 10 MINUTES). I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND HAVE FOUNT THIS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH MANY GM CARS FROM 99 TO 05. I WONDER WHY A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN MADE FOR THIS PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVROLET CLASSIC. THE ANTI THEFT SYSTEM IN THE CAR GOES OFF RANDOMLY OFTEN STRANDING ME WHERE EVER I AM. THE ALARM SYSTEM HAS STOPPED WORKING AND I HAVE TO REPLACE MY BREAKS EVERY 3 MONTHS. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH INTO THE ANTI THEFT ISSUE AND IT SEEMS TO BE A MAJOR PROBLEM AMONG OTHER OWNERS OF THIS CAR. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO A SHOP SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY CAN'T SEE A REASON FOR THE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM TO GO OFF. THE LIGHTS BURN OUT QUICKLY. THE WIRING HARNESS ON THE LIGHTS ARE LOOSE AND IT CAN'T BE FIXED. I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY CAR ANYMORE BECAUSE I AM WORRIED IT WILL NOT START. THIS HAS BEEN A MAJOR PROBLEM FOR SOMETIME NOW. WHY ARE THESE CARS NOT ON RE-CALL? *TR
