You are not alone because many many people have been kept out of thier OWN cars because of this defective system. This part will bypass the whole system so you never have trouble again. It is much cheaper than taking it to a dealer. Worth a look for sure.

Well I have a 2001 Chevy Impala that has quite a passlock problem. I'm taking it to the dealership this week, and I'm hoping for the best. Any advice on getting the proper repairs would be greatly appreciated.
It all started off with the battery light flashing, so I had diagnostics run, and everything came back fine. The light continued to flash, and occasionally the turn signals malfunctioned. I replaced the battery, and hoped that it would work, but no...
Now all of the lights on the dash have quit working, the tachometer doesn't work at all, and there seems to be no gas in the car even though there is a half of a tank left. It is giving me so much trouble.
Wish me luck at the dealership...
