Gm has an ongoing problem with this range of trucks in regards to the pass-lock anti-theft module being defective. What happens is the truck intermittently thinks its being car jacked and the anti-theft system activates, leaving you stranded for approximately 10 mins. I have been stranded multiple times, first having the truck towed to a repair shop just for it to start right up. I was curious to what gm is doing about this well-documented problem and why it has not made the list for recalls or campaigns as of yet. This issue is a very costly recurrent repair (due to the replacement part being the same defective anti-theft module). Many gm forums along with youtube videos have shown this problem has been presented to gm without any discussion of resolution. I feel that this issue of intermittent not starting problem due to a defective anti-theft module should be considered a safety hazard. As a long-standing chevy customer I feel obligated to seek resolution along with reimbursement not just for myself but to the other thousands of chevy truck owners with the same issue.
