REPLACED FUEL FILTER, ALTERNATOR, BATTERY. CAR WILL RUN FOR A WHILE AND WHEN YOU LEAST EXPECT IT WILL NOT START. I WAS TOLD THAT IT IS PROBABLE THE PASSLOCK SYSTEM, BECAUSE THE SECURITY LIGHT COMES ON AND SOMETIMES STAYS ON. I LIVE FAR FROM MY JOB, AND OVER THE LAST 4 MONTHS HAVE LOST INCOME BECAUSE I CAN'T GET THERE. I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO BUY A NEW CAR. THIS PASSLOCK PROBLEM HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR GRAND AM OWNERS, THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I AM SO DISTRESSED OVER THIS PROBLEM. I AM AT WORK RIGHT NOW AND DON'T HAVE A WAY HOME. I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF I CAN GET TO WORK NEXT WEEK. I MAY HAVE TO QUIT MY JOB. GM RECALL THESE CARS AND FIX THE PROBLEM.
