The passlock anti-theft device keeps my vehicle from starting thinking it's being stolen.. disabling the fuel pump.. this is a safety issue and has also made me late for work several times and stranded. It started occurring this year July 22, 2017 with no prior incidents. It's occurring on a regular interval and it's getting to the point that I cant rely on my vehicle to start as normal. Please let there be a recall on getting the manufacturer General Motors to fix this on my Colorado as it's the only fault on this vehicle. The faulty passlock systems should be a recalled item since it will disable the fuel pump and having to wait 10 minutes for the the system to reset at unknown or unsafe places. I am a single mother with two kids and I rely on my vehicle to commute to and from school and work. Luckily the incidents have occurred at work, at home, at walmart parking lot.. but who knows when the system decided as it gets worst. My seventeen year old son has taken the vehicle out and I'm always worried about this safety due to this faulty passlock anti-theft device. The vehicle has 181,450 miles, no check engine lights show on dash.. other than this issue.. it's the only reason the vehicle is mostly parked in my driveway.. only myself will take the drive it for short distances. I wish and hope to have the manufacturer render a needed recall on this passlock anti-theft device system....updated 10/04/17

[xxx][mailto:[xxx]] to: Safe car. Gov subject: Fire hazard 2007 Chevy Colorado to whom it may concern: I own a 2007 Chevrolet Colorado pick-up truck, with 86,000 miles. Recently I noticed a gasoline smell coming from under the vechicle. Upon inspection, I observed a stream of gas spraying from the metal elbow coming off the top of the fuel pump assembly, which connects to the fuel line. After removing the gas tank, I saw the entire top of the fuel pump assembly was badly rusted. To me, this is an extreme fire hazard caused by premature rusting of the top of the fuel pump assembly. I feel this is something that should be looked into given the seriousness of the matter. Thank you, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

Re: fuel - nipple (male) coming out of top of gas tank disconnected from )female) gas line leading to engine. Fire hazard. Re: electronics - vehicle anti-theft system (vats) this is a constant reoccurring problem, causing numerous unexpected delays in cranking vehicle. Should be eliminated, disconnected, recalled by GM. Both issues happen while car is stationary and during cranking.re:

Starting in 2014, the vehicle had widely spaced and random issues of not starting, but would start fine after an undetermined amount of time. At the time, I did not know that it was related to the pass lock system which will not allow a restart for a period of approximately 10 minutes. In the past month, I have had this problem approximately 12 or more times and finally found out that it was caused by the pass lock system. This condition is very dangerous because if the truck is shut off to save fuel in a traffic jam, or at a traffic accident, etc, it may not restart when the road then becomes open, leaving you stranded in a traffic lane. Because the problem is totally intermittent, you can't troubleshoot it because by the time you try to find out what is wrong, there is nothing wrong and it will restart fine. The problem can be in the ignition module (icm), the body control module (BCM) or a connector or wiring at any point in between as well as some other remote possibilities. This problem has caused me to late almost every time it has happened. The only solution offered by the dealership is replacing parts piecemeal starting at the cheapest and working up which can lead to expenses over $1000 and will still not guarantee the problem is fixed.

Truck will not start for ten minutes due to faulty passlock. This system does not work and GM should fix it asap. GM acts as if they have never seen this problem. This has happened almost daily and once it happened three times in one day.
