I saw MANY other people with the exact same problem as my aunts car (she is 91 years old, so her problem is also my problem plus a 50 mile round-trip). It seems that there is no solution- the 'anti-theft device' recognizes the car key as a 'foreign' key due to wear and tear on the interior of the tumblers or the actual key, and locks you out. I have read 4 alleged fixes to the problem: 1). Putting powdered graphite into the ignition keyhole- allegedly worked fine. 2). Blow out keyhole with compressed air can- same as above. 3). Turn to 'on' position and wait 5 mins- same as above. 4). Cut the yellow wire- 3 say it worked fine 1 said it caused more problems.- what I need to know is which yellow wire are we talking about, the ignition wiring I'm guessing.
Any thoughts on this will be much appreciated.
Finally, I agree with one guy who wants to start a class-action against Chevrolet. Lets do it!
