5 Ignition Switch problem of the 2000 Chevrolet S10

Failure Date: 05/04/2010

2000 chevy S10 2. 2l auto 76k mi. Passlock issue. Will not start. Left stranded then starts after 10 min or so. I have to leave the motor running when filling up with gas otherwise car will not move for 10 minutes. Emergency situation car will not move right away. What if it stalls in traffic or on railroad tracks? this happens randomly every 4-5 start cycles. My understanding this has been an ongoing gm issue. Ether disable it or fix it. I have replaced both the ignition switch and the key lock assembly at great expense and the problem still exists gm offers no assistance in this manner!!!.
