1 Anti-theft Controller problem of the 2003 Chevrolet Suburban

Failure Date: 08/10/2016

The anti theft system caused the engine to quit going down the hi way several times and was very dangerous some of the times and left us stranded sometimes. Gm acts like they do not know what is wrong but there is ample info on the internet and even a fix but it disable the ats, it turns off the fuel to the injectors killing the engine. This happened many times. We had to be towed twice because it would not restart.

3 Anti-theft Controller problem of the 1998 Chevrolet Suburban

Failure Date: 11/16/2004

1998 chevy tahoe wont start, spontaneously. It will turn over, but wont start. First time it happened wasn't sure what was wrong, tried it again after 10-15 minutes and it started. I figured it was just cold. Second time it happened, it was about 45 minutes before it started, and I was told by the guy at the tire dealer, that his and a friends tahoe had the same problem, I should take it to the dealer. I did this and was told it was the theft deterrent module. After several hundred dollars and a rental car for a week I got the truck back. It was about 2 months later, it happened again. Same thing, couple hundred dollars, a rental car for a week and I got it back after 3 days. 3 days later, the same thing. I do not have my truck now, I have a rental again. I was told I would have to pay for this again, because it is a ". . . . Totally different set of codes than read the first couple of times. . . ".
