My 2003 Saturn L200 has a problem with the General Motors passlock anti-theft system. The engine shuts off after being started and the passlock light blinks on and off. After researching online, I found a lot of people with similar problems with their GM vehicles. Since it appears that there may be a problem with the passlock system, I was hoping someone would look into similar complaints to see if a recall was necessary.

Problems with vehicle's power steering system. Consumer noticed the failure when driving off the lot but thought I was due to cold weather. Later she learned the rack and pinion needed to be replaced due to fluid leaking. After the repair, consumer started hearing grinding noise when turning. On 10/08/03, the consumer learned the steering pump had to be replaced. After picking up the vehicle on this date, consumer heard more noises. This time it was a air pocket in the steering fluid. In addition, the automatic climate control system fails to work as designed. It's programmed at 87 degrees when its cold outside. Instead of heat, it would blow warm then cold air. The computer was reprogrammed and the problem became worst than at first. There were countless other problems with this vehicle.
