Anti-theft Controller problems of the 2006 Chevrolet Colorado

I purchased this vehicle new, and for too much information the vehicle is a piece of junk. About a couple of months ago I unlock my vehicle using the remote opener. Get in the vehicle, put key in ignition, try and start vehicle. Vehicle will not start, the engine will turn over, but will not start. I noticed during this time, will trying to get vehicle to start, that the anti-theft lock light has lit up on dash board. To no avail the vehicle would not start. At this time I was not aware of any problems with vehicle, so I think here we go another trip to the dealer to get piece of junk fixed. After I hitch a ride home, I search the web for any reasons vehicle will not start. I found articles from individuals who also had this same problem. I learned from one that for some reason the vehicle's anti-theft system thinks you are trying to steal your own vehicle. I also learned that if you wait 10 minutes after your first failed attempt at starting vehicle the anti-theft would reset itself and vehicle would start. Try to start the vehicle the next morning, and it starts. I think okay I will stop using remote and not lock vehicle, see if this stops problem. It does not. I get in vehicle about 2 days ago and again the engine will turn over, but will not start. There is the anti-theft light lit up on dash board again. This time I wait 10 minutes and the vehicle will start. I have called the dealer and gm, from both I hear there is no solution. Can't by-pass the anti-theft, and for service dept. To find problem, vehicle has to experience same problem at the time of repair. Since the problem is intermittent, a solution is unlikely. There appears to be a problem with this type vehicle, built around the time frame as the purchase of the one I bought. Gm should be made to find a solution. I do not like being stranded, and selling the product to someone else is not an option.

After my vehicle gained 67xxx it began to have issues with the anti theft system. When I turn my vehicle off, and turn it back on the anti theft light blinks. This has stalled my vehicle. When I attempt to turn it on the engine will crank and the lights flicker on and off. After doing some research I have found that numerous people have also encountered this issue. The only fix know at the moment is to wait 10 minutes and then the engine will start. This can become a nuisance and a danger. I had recently encountered a nail in my tire. I had to pull over on the highway to check what was happening. When I shut my engine off I was stuck on the highway due to my anti theft light blinking and my engine not starting due to this anti theft issue. I have addressed this with gm and also the local dealer with no success for assistance. It was suggested that I do a diagnostics test, but that would run me upward of 400+ to figure out what is going on. I find this to be a manufacture issue. Numerous people have addressed this issue online.

Pass lock anti theft system intermittently engages, preventing the vehicle from restarting for a period of 10 minutes. This problem is a safety issue if the vehicle were to stall while operating on a freeway or major highway and can not be restarted.

2006 chevy Colorado will not start with proper key. When attempting to start vehicle, ignition switch malfunctions and will make anti theft system think vehicle is being stolen. Proper key is being used and spare key has been used to verify problem. Have researched internet and lot of the chevy Colorado's are having the same problem new or not. Gm wants $400 to fix a clearly faulty part.

On occasion, my vehicle will not start. It appears that the anti-theft system comes on and will not allow the vehicle to start. Letting the vehicle sit for ten minutes tends to fix the problem. My vehicle has approximately 65k miles and this occurs roughly six times a year. When the dealer tries to identify the problem, they cannot find anything wrong with it.
