THIS VEHICLE "PASS LOCK" SYSTEM IS ACTIVATING NEARLY EVERY ATTEMPT TO START. THIS REQUIRES THE DRIVER TO WAIT 10 MINUTES WITH THE KEY IN THE IGNITION, IN THE "ON" POSITION. AFTER APPROX 10 MINUTES, THE PASS LOCK LIGHT WILL GO OFF ALLOWING THE DRIVER TO ATTEMPT TO START THE VEHICLE AGAIN. SOMETIMES IT WILL ACTIVATE THE PASS LOCK SYSTEM AN ADDITIONAL TIME AND REPEAT THE ABOVE PROCESS. THIS HAS LEFT ME STRANDED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS IN AREAS I PREFER NOT TO BE AROUND ANY LONGER THAN NECESSARY. THIS ISSUE IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. *TR
