The GM passkey 2 security feature acts up constantly on these cars including the intrigue, Malibu, Cadillac. The security light comes on and disables the vehicle and a 40 minute relearn procedure must be completed each time. Happens to my vehicle 2-4 times a week.

The entire cluster system went out, $2200 replacement, the entire dash is coming down with a cost of $1000 dollars for replacement, valve cover gasket needs replaced with cost of $1200 cost to consumer, the brakes have been reworked for $300 dollars at a cost to consumer, actual mileage 43000- now problems started at 90,000 miles, the car constantly leaks in the auto when it rains, I feel as a consumer this vehicle should be recalled because I've had nothing but problems since the day of purchase, lost wages being stuck on the side of the road, pain and suffering because I only live on disability, and a part time job, and it took it all for repairs!!!!!
