  • 132,000 miles
The passlock anti-theft system in my 1997 Pontiac Grand Am GT is a failed piece of junk that never should have been put into any vehicle. GM should be responsible for correcting this situation as many, many individuals are spending too much money not having this situation fixed. Most mechanics are at a loss.

Vehicle will not start two or three times a day. The engine will crank but the anit-theft indicator light will blink and the engine will shut down (it sound as if no fuel getting to engine.)
