1 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 07/13/2009

My gm passlock system has been going on the fritz for well over a year now. Every fix would last a couple of months, weeks than go right back to no working. I keep getting lock out of of the car with the anti thieft. I have a 1998 Oldsmobile Achieva. I have been locked out of my car for more than an hour and a half at times during the middle of winter. I hate gm and their crappy passlock system. There seems to be enough complaints online about it that u would think they would do something about it.

2 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 07/12/2002

I was drive along union street in greenville, miss when I notice smoke coming from the hood of the car. I suddenly pull over because the car became engulf in flames. The fireman was called to put the flames out from the vehicle. The car was lost due to the flames and I lost wages due to the car. I contact GMC about the car and they said , the car engulf in flames had nothing to do with them.
