TURN IGNITION TO START ALL DASH LIGHTS AND POWER TURNS ON. NO CRANK NO START WAIT ABOUT TEN MIN TRY IT AGAIN THE CAR STARTS PERFECT.

THE IGNITION RECALL WAS PERFORMED ON MY 01 IMPALA 3.4 RECENTLY. THIS RECALL WAS MEANT TO FIX THE ISSUE OF THE CAR SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING DUE TO THE KEY MOVING OUT OF THE RUN POSITION TO THE OFF POSITION. HOWEVER, THIS HAS NOT FIXED THE ISSUE. I HAVE BEEN TO SEVERAL REPAIR SHOPS WITH CONCERNS ABOUT THE CAR SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING AND NO ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE. THE CAR IS RUNNING PERFECT EXCEPT FOR THIS ISSUE. I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE IS DUE TO THE IGNITION RECALL. I HAVE READ THE REPORTS CONCERNING THIS RECALL AND UNDERSTAND THAT THE SOLUTION IS TO MODIFY THE KEY BUT I WOULD LOOK INTO OTHER OPTIONS SINCE THIS HAS NOT FIXED THIS ISSUE. THEIR IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ELSE WRONG WITH THE CAR ACCORDING TO 4 REPAIR SHOPS AND 4 DIAGNOSTIC SCANS THAT HAVE BEEN RAN ON THE VEHICLE. WHILE DRIVING, THE CAR WILL SHUT OFF, IT WILL RESTART WITHOUT ANY ISSUES BUT THIS IS BECOMING DANGEROUS FOR MY CHILDREN AND I TO BE DRIVING IN. THEIR IS ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING ON WHEN THIS WILL OCCUR SO I HAVE NO WAY TO PREPARE FOR THIS ISSUE. I JUST WANTED TO BRING THIS TO YOUR ATTENTION SO YOU MAY LOOK INTO THIS RECALL ONCE AGAIN. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY SINCE MAY OF THIS YEAR. YOU MAY FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME ANYTIME FOR ANY INFORMATION YOU MIGHT NEED FROM ME. THANK YOU *TR

SINCE GM PERFORMED SAFETY RECALL # 14350 ON OUR KEYS WE'VE HAD MORE ISSUES WITH OUR 2001 IMPALA NOT STARTING WHICH HAS RENDERED IT UNABLE TO BE STARTED CURRENTLY. THIS IS MY SECOND TIME POSTING SINCE I ORIGINALLY POSTED ON 10/24/14 REGARDING THE CAR CUTTING OUT WHILE DRIVING. SINCE THAT TIME WE'VE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE CAR INTERMITTENTLY NOT STARTING OR FAILING TO RESTART AFTER DRIVING IT A SHORT DISTANCE, LIKE GOING TO THE STORE. A FEW WEEKS AGO WE HAD TO SPEND $140 ON A NEW BATTERY AFTER THE MECHANICS TOLD US THAT WAS THE STARTING PROBLEM. TWO DAYS LATER IT ONCE AGAIN WOULDN'T RESTART AFTER STOPPING AT THE STORE FOR A FEW MINUTES. THE MECHANIC CAME AND CHECKED THE CAR AND TIGHTENED THE BATTERY TERMINAL CONNECTIONS THINKING THAT WAS THE ISSUE. A FEW DAYS AFTER THE CAR WOULDN'T RESTART ONCE AGAIN AFTER A SHORT VISIT TO THE STORE. THAT TIME A TOW TRUCK DRIVER TRIED TO JUMP IT BUT IT WOULDN'T START, SO IT WAS TOWED TO THE MECHANIC. ONCE AT THE MECHANICS THE MECHANIC TRIED TO START IT AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP. HE KEPT IT FOR TWO DAYS AND TRIED STARTING IT NUMEROUS TIMES AND EVERY TIME IT STARTED. SINCE BRINGING IT BACK HOME WE'VE HAD PROBLEMS ONCE AGAIN WITH IT NOT STARTING EVEN THOUGH EVERYTHING SEEMS FINE AND THE BATTERY TERMINALS ARE TIGHT. TODAY THE KEY FOB WOULD NOT OPEN THE DOOR REMOTELY NOR WOULD THE CAR START. I'VE BEEN RESEARCHING THESE ISSUES AND SEE WHERE IN MANY INSTANCES PEOPLE HAVE FOUND THE IGNITION/KEY FOB ISSUES ARE RELATED TO THE PASS LOCK SYSTEM KEEPING THE CAR FROM STARTING OR CANCELING THE ENGINE WHILE RUNNING. GM NEEDS TO ADDRESS THESE ISSUES WHICH ARE CAUSING VEHICLES LIKE OURS TO EITHER NOT START OR HAVE ENGINE FAILURE WHILE DRIVING. *TR
