GM HAS A SECURITY SYSTEM CALLED PASSLOCK THAT OVER TIME SEEMS TO FAIL AND TRIPS A "FAILURE" AND FLASHES A KEY SYMBOL ON THE DASH AND DISABLES STARTING YOUR VEHICLE UNTIL IT RESETS 10 MINUTES LATER. THIS OCCURS TO MY WIFE ALMSOT 50% OF THE TIME SHE TRIES TO START HER VEHICLE. SO FAR GM HAS COME FORWARD WITH A FIX YET I'VE SEEN POSTS ON HUMMER FORUMNS FROM HUNDREDS OF OWNERS. THIS HAS MANY SAFETY CONCERNS AS WELL AS JUST BEING A GENERAL ANNOYANCE: 1) IN LAS VEGAS WE ROUTINELY SEE TEMPATURES OVER 110F. IF THE SYSTEM TRIPS AND YOU HAVE TO WAIT 10 MINUTES IN THAT HEAT IT CAN BE DEADLY 2) MISSING APPONTMENTS OR BEING LATE TO WORK BECAUSE YOU VEHICLE INTENTIONALLY IS DISABLING ITSELF IT UNACCEPTABLE 3) GROCERIES COLD/FROZEN STUCK IN THE HEAT FOR 10 MINUTES WAITING FOR A RESET GET RUINED 4) MY WIFE WHEN ALONE IS STUCK WAITING OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE IN THE HEAT OR LOCKING HERSELF INSIDE WAITING FOR THE SYSTEM TO RESET CAN LEAVE HER EXPOSED TO CRIMINAL TYPES

SINCE VEHICLE WAS DELIVERED NEW, WHEN THE KEY IS IN THE OFF POSITION IN THE IGNITION SWITCH, THE KEY WILL 'TURN ITSELF ON' WITH ONLY THE SLIGHTEST 'BUMP' OF THE KEY OR THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS IS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE WITH ALL SAME VEHICLE OWNERS. WHAT WITH ALL THE ISSUES WITH OTHER VEHICLE IGNITION MATTERS THIS ISSUE SHOULD HAVE BEEN NOTED AND CORRECTED YEARS BEFORE NOW. I STILL OWN THIS VEHICLE. *TR

WAS TRAVELING THROUGH A PARKING LOT, NOTICED A GLOW FROM THE CORNER OF MY EYE, AND SOMETHING DRIP FROM UNDER THE PASSENGER GLOVEBOX. THERE WAS A FUNNY SMELL. I IMMEDIATELY STOPPED, AND TOLD MY PASSENGER TO GET OUT, AND NOTICED A FIRE UNDER THE PASSENGER GLOVEBOX. I TRIED POURING MILK AND JUICE ON THE FIRE TO PUT IT OUT UNDER THE DASH BUT IT DIDN'T PUT THE FIRE COMPLETELY OUT. BYSTANDERS HELPED WITH FIRE EXTINGUISHERS BUT IT DIDN'T HELP MUCH EITHER, THE FIRE MOVED THROUGH THE FIREWALL AND WAS UNDER THE HOOD. THE CAR QUICKLY WENT UP IN FLAMES AND THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED TO PUT OUT THE FIRE. ONCE THE FIRE STARTED, THE DOORS DIDN'T AUTOMATICALLY UNLOCK WHEN I SHUT OFF THE CAR. I WAS NOT ABLE TO GET THE BACK DOORS OPEN SINCE THERE IS NO KEY ENTRY AND IT'S ALL ELECTRONIC. IF I HAD CHILDREN OR PASSENGERS IN THE BACK SEAT WHEN THIS HAPPENED, I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET THEM OUT THROUGH THE BACK DOORS - THEY WOULD NOT OPEN. THE FIRE STARTED UNDER THE PASSENGER SIDE GLOVEBOX SEEMED TO BE RELATED TO THE RESISTOR AND WIRING HARNESS TIED TO THE A/C. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL, AND GM SHOULD RECOUP EVERYONE WHO HAS HAD A TOTAL LOSS RELATED TO THIS INCIDENT. I WILL NEVER BUY AMERICAN CAR AGAIN, THIS ONE WAS A MISTAKE SINCE I PURCHASED IT WITH CONSTANT ISSUES AND NOW THIS AT LESS THAN 100K MILES. UNBELIEVABLE! GM SHOULD BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR THESE INCIDENTS. *TR
