VEHICLE CRANKS BUT DOES NOT START. SECURITY LIGHT FLASHING. AFTER 10 MINUTES WITH KEY ON AND SECURITY LIGHT OFF AFTER TURNING OFF THEN CRANK ENGINE STARTS. HAPPENED AT LEAST 15 TIMES. NOW, ENGINE SOMETIMES WILL CRANK ITSELF IN THE "ON" POSITION AND WILL NOT START AND SECURITY LIGHT FLASHING. HAPPENED THREE TIMES AND FINALLY AFTER THREE 10 MINUTE KEY ON WAIT CYCLES IN A DARK PARKING LOT SECURITY LIGHT STOPPED FLASHING AND STARTED AND MADE IT HOME. VEHICLE VERY UNRELIABLE NOW. I AM TIRED OF HAVING A VEHICLE THAT THINKS THE OWNER IS TRYING TO STEAL OWNED VEHICLE. AND AUTO CRANK IN THE ON - NOT START- POSITION WITHOUT RUNNING. HOW DO I BYPASS THIS AWFUL SYSTEM WITHOUT ANOTHER CAR PAYMENT TO ANOTHER AUTOMAKER? THIS DEFECT IS DANGEROUS AND HAZARDOUS WHEN STOPPING FOR FUEL AND HAVE TO LEAVE ENGINE ON OR HOLDING UP CUSTOMERS UNTIL ENGINE STARTS. ALSO HOLDING UP VEHICLES ON A FERRY BOAT. VERY EMBARRASSING WHEN FRIENDS AND CO WORKERS HAVE TO WAIT TILL VEHICLE DECIDES TO START AND RU...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 GMC CANYON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE STARTING THE IGNITION, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE AIR BAG WIRING HARNESS NEEDED TO BE PATCHED UP. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER, WHO STATED THAT THE WIRING HARNESS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

SEVERAL OCCASIONS, I HAVE HAD INCIDENTS WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH ON MY VEHICLE. I PURCHASED IT NEW, AND THE MAKER CLAIMS NO PROBLEM WITH MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE, BUT IT HAS KEPT THE MOTOR FROM RUNNING AT TIMES, AND ENGINE STARTER WILL ENGAGE WITH SWITCH ONLY IN THE "ON" POSITION, WITHOUT TURNING TO START. THAT'S SCARY. VEHICLE NEVER DID ANY OF THIS WHILE UNDER WARRANTY,(OF COURSE), BUT GIVEN THE MAKER'S TRACK RECORD WITH IGNITION SWITCHES, THIS CERTAINLY HAS ME CONCERNED. *JS

---ISSUE WITH THE PASSLOCK SYSTEM--- SPORADICALLY, WHEN KEY IS INSERTED INTO THE IGNITION AND TURNED, THE VEHICLE PASSLOCK ENGAGES AND CUTS OFF FUEL TO THE VEHICLE. YOU MUST WAIT APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES FOR SECURITY LIGHT TO QUIT FLASHING AND THEN TRY TO START VEHICLE AGAIN. THE 10 MINUTE CYCLE HAS HAPPENED BACK TO BACK, AS MANY AS THREE TIMES IN MY EXPERIENCE. THE PROBLEM GETS WORSE IN TEMPERATURES BELOW FREEZING OR HIGH HUMIDITY. THE PROBLEM EXIST WITH BRAND NEW, NEVER USED, FACTORY KEY AS WELL AS THE NORMALLY USED KEY. THIS ISSUE IS VERY INCONVENIENT, BUT DOES RAISE VERY IMPORTANT SAFETY CONCERNS. THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE HAS A STANDARD TRANSMISSION. IF VEHICLE IS ACCIDENTALLY STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION DURING SHIFTING, AND THE PASSLOCK PROBLEM OCCURS, YOU WOULD BE UNABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THIS WOULD POSE IMMEDIATE DANGER TO THE PEOPLE IN THE VEHICLE, AS WELL AS, ANY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. *TR
