About These NHTSA Complaints:
The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
The weight on the keyring and road conditions or a jarring event causes the ignition switch to move out of the run position, turning off the engine. The vehicle will not stay in the run position and there are no other mechanical/electrical problems with the vehicle. This began about a year ago and has progressively got worse. This is similar to the recall of GMC's Cadillac cts.

Truck will not start intermittently. Completely inoperable for several minutes, then will start up with absolutely nothing differently done to it. Left me and my kids stranded several times. Appears to be a passlock anti theft problem. Many, many complaints online with the exact same problem. This is unsafe for children to be subjected to!!! if anything happens to my children while stranded this complaint will be used in a lawsuit against General Motors!!! spent hundreds of dollars to fix problems to no avail. It's no longer about the money, but the general safety of the public and their children!!! recall this vehicle and make us whole!!!

There is a problem whit the passlock system. Often 3 times in the past 3 days the truck will not start. The security lock dash light flashes and the security system will not allow the tuck to start. After exactly 10 min the security system times-out and resets allowing the truck to start. This is a problem on many Chevy and GMC vehicles and has been ongoing since 1998..often I am in situations where I just cant sit and wait the 10 required minutes. Twice I was at the airport. Once I was at the hospital. I have been to the GMC dealers for their help. Yet the dealers claim not to have ever heard of such a problem. I do not believe them. There are far too many people with the same issue.but their solution is to replace the entire S1teering colom there really needs to be a fix and the manufactures must have a fix that does not require replacing parts willy-nilly in some hope of getting owners just out of the shop. Youtube has many videos of desperate owners trying to find a fix. Most require disabling the security system..please help.

My mother has been left stranded in parking lots or drive ways many times. The engine won't start, and the security light is flashing, wait ten minutes then it will finally start. The flashing light will eventually go off then she will try to start the engine. She can now get to her destination or should be able to make it home. This is only a temporary fix and GM needs to fix this.
