I have been having trouble starting my Chevy Cavalier. The problem is the theft system. I am a single mother and the Chevy place said it would be 400 dollars to fix. I have read that alot of Chevy owners have the same problem. Please have this recall. I beg you thanks

Passlock/theftlock system enables with known key in system preventing the vehicle from starting or shutting down while driving disabling power steering and brake systems. A google search indicates this is a very common problem in all GM vehicles equipped with this system. GM's attitude is lackadaisical toward this issue at best. Dealers will not disable system and after hundreds of dollars are spent on fixing the problem, it still exists.
