Problem 1: driving near my home and vehicle quit on me. gas gauge showed full but come to find out, i was out of gas. good thing i wasn't traveling at a high rate of speed, like interstate driving. problem 2: vehicle wouldn't start, i'm being told it is the passlock system. security light has only come on 1 time. i never know when its going to start. very worried when i travel by myself. these have happened at different times.

Takata recall. i spoke to a representative at gm asking about the recall of my vehicle and said my warranty was expired. i just recently bought the car from another person so how i was suppose to know about the cars recall. the problem with the car is the ignition switch whenever i rotate it to turn it on it does not start. i would have to rotate it slowly to the start and as well let it go slowly for it to start. so its not functioning properly. i want to file a complaint to gm for i can get my car fix since it could be caused of my death and the death of other civilians that are near my car whenever it gives up or even worst.

2001 monte carlo ss; i've had many different occasions on where the car just dies while i'm driving it. they had a recall for the "ignition key" i took it in, they "fixed" the key-not the ignition, and still, to this day, the vehicle continues to die while driving, which includes loss of power steering completely. luckily, i have not had a car accident due to this issue, but it's still scary when it happens. it happened again today, 5/29/2015 while driving and completely lost steering control when it died.

Security will not allow car to start or run dealer says bad bcm or wire wants 400 to look. *tr
