We bought the 2000 Chevy Monte Carlo ss VIN [xxx] back in June 2019 we have done some regular repairs on it when we first got it and everything worked great! started every single time. 02/18/2020 we went to start it and it was acting like the battery was dead. Went and check the battery volt read and it was reading at 8 so I hooked up jumper cable to it and let it sit for a couple minutes. Got in a turned the key over to start it. The whole plastic intake blew up and pieces went everywhere. Then caught fire. It was so bad very scary. The damage was little compared of what it could have been if the hood was closed.

So when we went to start the car, the car would not start we replaced the battery then we replaced the alternator. After looking some stuff up online we realized that it was neither of these things it was actually the passlock security. It is now locked us out and we cannot get the car started unless we go and have a whole new ignition tumbler keys and I believe it is the BCM reprogrammed. This is obviously a malfunction in the car and I don't believe that I should have to pay $300 for a malfunction I don't know if you all can help me but anything at this point in time would be helpful

During the process of starting the vehicle: First attempt to start the vehicle, it didn't start. The second attempt to start the vehicle, there was a loud bang (explosion) under the hood with an odor of 'burnt plastic'. upon looking at the engine, the black plastic intake maniford had a hole it from the explosion. This is the second occurrence in 3 months. I have replaced this intake this past winter and this occurred again last weekend. It seems in my research that GM is ignoring this defect and will not offer a fix to the problem. GM knows this is happening especially with "cold starts" but has yet addressed.
