1 Anti-theft Controller problem

Failure Date: 08/01/2012

The anti-theft light comes on and the car will not start. I have to turn the key to the on position and wait 10 minutes and try to start the car. Normally I only need to do this once and it starts. This has occurred on average about 1 or 2 times each month.

2 Anti-theft Controller problem

Failure Date: 05/31/2011

My 2005 chevy Classic stalls and the anti-theft light comes on the dashboard. The car won't start after repeated attempts. Happens at idle or at speed. Very dangerous. Car appears to think it's been stolen. I have found that I can restart after I turn the key off and back on repeatedly. I have now gotten to the point that I can hear the fuel pump come on only after many tries, and then it starts. I've had the ignition replaced and full tune up. The mechanic says that there are no error codes in the computer to research. This is obviously a defect in the design of the car and gm can either recall it or get sued when someone gets hurt. I've been lucky so far to be able to pull over to the side safely, or it occurs while stopped.

4 Anti-theft Controller problem

The anti-theft device keeps going off and causing me to be stranded at least twice a month. I have had to have it towed three times already this year.

5 Anti-theft Controller problem

Failure Date: 03/06/2010

I have a 2005 Chevrolet Classic. The anti theft system in the car goes off randomly often stranding me where ever I am. The alarm system has stopped working and I have to replace my breaks every 3 months. I have done some research into the anti theft issue and it seems to be a major problem among other owners of this car. I have taken it to a shop several times and they can't see a reason for the anti-theft system to go off. The lights burn out quickly. The wiring harness on the lights are loose and it can't be fixed. I don't feel safe driving my car anymore because I am worried it will not start. This has been a major problem for sometime now. Why are these cars not on re-call?.
