Equipment Problems of Chevrolet Classic

As I slammed on brakes car shut down causing steering to lock and brakes to not function well. I ended up rear ending person in front. Also the airbag burned my left hand.

Car wouldn't start. Usually it starts right up but it wouldn't start up. After searching the web we found it was the antitheft system.

The prescribed/proposed fix by gm over the faulty ignition switches is the most lame excuse for a fix I have ever heard of. Just want to go on the record saying this.

The car was purchased recently (late December, 2013) on a salvage title by my mother. On Saturday, April 12 I was driving on the highway at 60 miles an hour and suddenly the car started decelerating. I pushed the gas peddle but nothing happened- the speed kept dropping. As we slowed to a stop I took the vehicle off the road to the side and parked. A passenger was in the car with me. We waited a few minutes and the Classic started again and drove alright. But the same thing kept happening a few miles down the road (if memory serves, this occurred five times that day). The vehicle had to wait about two to three minutes to start again- turning the key earlier produced a thumping sound inside, a thud-thud-thud sound. I am reluctant to drive the vehicle until it is repaired and I am contacting your agency about the matter because if it does pertain to a safety/parts issue it may be something which could impact other drivers with the same model as well. When cars lose speed suddenly on the highway they can pose a traffic hazard to other vehicles. I contacted the manufacturer to let them know about this issue too. A similar incident happened earlier this month, and at that time we took the car to the shop and the catalytic converter and muffler were both replaced with new equipment.

The first time I had this issue at the end of last year, I was told I had to have the fuel pump replaced, which was not the issue come to find out. My Chevrolet Classic 2005 intermittently refused to start. The car would attempt to turn over but refuse. The theft system light would blink during this time. Most recently, the vehicle did this again but allowed my to start it fine for a week and a half but went back into not starting with the theft system light flashing. I thought, how is that, I own this vehicle I am the owner starting the ignition with the key? I have had several mechanics (most recent tires plus, early may 2014) tell me they couldn't find an issue and that without the vehicle currently experiencing the problem, they weren't able to identify the problem. The vehicle finally stopped starting again, so I had it towed to Chevrolet this time for service. I was told today that it is the passlock system and needs to be replaced. I have talked to former Chevrolet owners who said they had the same issue and kept having the passlock problem fixed every time. They said they finally ditched their Chevrolets and got toyotas to avoid the issue. I have also researched a lot of forums, and youtube videos demonstrating this problem which has happened to many other Chevrolet and gm owners. I believe that since this has been a faulty part for many owners, then Chevrolet and gm should be working to solving this issue for all owners. The cost to repair this issue is high. I believe that since this is an issue that is not uncommon for many Chevrolet and gm owners, this should be a problem they should be striving to fix and to reimburse owners who have already fixed Chevrolet and gm's mistake. I don't believe there is something we did to cause this problem in our own vehicles, as we aren't attempting to steal them, but simply drive our own vehicles. Thank you.

This vehicle has problems with its starter. I'm not sure of the first date it was noticed. Initially the key would get stuck in the ignition, it would take up to 1/2 hr or more for the key to come out, then longer, then days in which the battery would have to be recharged. It also on occasion would activate the 'kill-switch' on the alarm. We were told by chevy that the car was not 'recognizing' the ignition key. Finally after the money was available, the car was taken to chevy for repair. Initially it was fine. . . The key didn't get stuck, then only a few times . . . None in which it didn't come out. . . . However, the car in 2013? began to die while being driven. My son and finance' bough this to my attention and for safety I no longer drive the car as the last time it happened was in traffic, fortunately, we were able to steer into a parking lot and park the car. It would restart without a problem. . . . . But not knowing why or when it will stop was/is to much of a risk so we turned in the registration. We told chevy, wrote . . . But no one has every responded. I am not sure why this vehicle is not on the recall list for its ignition problem and would like to know how to find out who else has the same problem with this model. Due to its condition, I can't sell it or drive it. Your help is very much appreciated.
