- Passlock/VATS Bypass - You can bypass your security system completely and save the trouble. They sell a part that will bypass the security system forever. I used it on my grand am and it worked perfectly.

In a completely unpredictable manner the car will just not start! The car will turn over but seems to not get any fuel (security feature?), then the security light will come on and blink for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes the feature will automatically reset, and then I can attempt to start the car again. SOMETIMES it will start, other times it will do the same thing an I'll be sitting in the car ANOTHER 10 minutes WAITING!
Also, trac light and abs light both come on for no reason, paid the dealership they said it was a faulty speed sensor hub bearing, but it still comes on whenever I go over 70 mph. Low tire pressure light is on as well though tire pressure is fine all around.
