It's a nice enough car. Good leg room, comfortable to ride in, but it's a pain in the ass to ride in it on the occasions that the theft deterrent system won't let it start. It's the passlock sensor at fault- hundreds of people know that- Pontiac knows it (I know they know it because I've taken it out on a few different poor souls who represent Pontiac when I've called about it.)
What I can say about it is, at this point, the "turn the key on for 10 minutes" thing works, but it's a bullshit way of doing things when it should just work the way it's supposed to. The way I see it, I could just take the payment that the bank wants for the car and shell it out to get the passlock sensor replaced (actually that would be closer to 2 payments) but the fact is, the bank didn't build the car or the POS passlock sensor that's f****d up.

So, what I think I'll do is just keep calling Pontiac to inconvenience them until they decide to issue a bulletin and look into issuing a recall to fix this as they should have a long time ago. If anyone agrees with me, call your local dealer and ask them for the number to the corporate office, and give them a ring! If everyone who has had a problem like this, or even other problems with this car, called them once every few days to "check up on the status of the bulletin or recall" their lines would be too tied up to even schedule trips in the company private jet! They can ignore my calls and my language easy enough- but it's much harder to ignore hundreds of calls like mine. Just a thought.
Thanks! I really do appreciate the forum to vent! :)
