I have what I am calling the "classic gm passlock problem" with my 2000 chevy Impala. It started about 2 years ago very randomly not starting. On November 28, 2008 I reported a vehicle problem to the local general motors dealership. My 2000 chevy Impala anti-theft warning light was occasionally coming on and vehicle would not start at times. ¿ the dealership charged me $812. 00 to replace faulty passlock module, new ignition switch and cylinder. Im concern about all the work being done as stated and charged for factory defects, many vehicle owners have had the same problem with their gm auto. In addition, I did not receive a new recoded key. Second, the replacement part for the faulty passlock module was not listed on the invoice as an itemized part ordered and replaced as appear other items. Thirdly, if the part not listed on the invoice, how is the warranty covered? I later learned that the door, trunk and ignition should be operated by one key. And if procedure requires ignition switch lock cylinder to be replaced, new ignition switch lock cylinder should be recoded to old key. Also, passlock sensor was an integral part of ignition switch assembly, but I still paid too much; I am seeking a full refund.
One day I was just going to work like and my car wouldn't start. The security light was flashing so I referred to the manual. I found out it was the passlock feature on the car and it was malfunctioning. I don't have the time or the money to fix the problem.
Received 2000 chevy Impala as an inheritance. Within 2 weeks car at times would not start. All lights on dash would illuminate followed by the yellow/orange security light. This is due to a passlock problem where the passlock system thinks that something other than a legitimate key is being used to try and start the car. My sister had this problem and at times would have to turn the key in the ignition to "on position" and wait 10 minutes. After several days of research I was able to determine that to reset the passlock system the key needed to be left in the ignition switch in the "on position" then removed and repeated two more times (3 times, 30 minutes total). After doing this I had no more problems. My only problem is there are lots of people out there that are not mechanically inclined, and plenty of people have had to had their vehicles towed and face a diagnosis fee (and plenty of times misdiagnosis). According to all the information readily available chevy/gm has to know about this and I consider it shameful that they do not allow some kind of concession or modification so that a customer of theirs with a legitimate key cannot start the vehicle.

My 2000 Impala has a problem with the passlock system which causes the vehicle to stop working or surge while driving and causes intermittent difficulties with starting. This is a widespread problem among gm owners and we have made nearly 13 visits to the dealer to address this safety issue. We have had the ignition replaced, but on most visits gm staff are unable to diagnose, and hence, unable to treat the problem. Another safety issue is related to starting. Since my wife drives the car, she is often left unsafe in areas during the 20+ times that she has not been able to start her car. While no injuries have yet been linked to this problem with our vehicle, is such a widespread problem with gm vehicles that it needs to be addressed. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
