THIS IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE PASSLOCK SYSTEM. THE 10 MINUTE DELAY IS NORMALLY BECAUSE THE PASSLOCK SENSOR DETECTED AN IMPROPER KEY AND WILL TIME OUT FOR 10 MINUTES EVEN IF YOU USE THE RIGHT KEY NEXT. THERE ARE VARIOUS FIXES THAT MAY OR MAY NOT WORK, INCLUDING GETTING COPIES OF YOUR KEY MADE AND TRYING A DIFFERENT KEY, REPLACEMENT OF THE SENSOR, AND A COMMON FIX IS TO REPLACE THE IGNITION CYLINDER. *TR

I HAD IGNITION RECALL SERVICED ON 10/15/2014 AT CHEVROLET DEALER. TWO DAYS LATER, KEY WOULD NOT OPEN DRIVER'S DOOR (MANUAL LOCKS), ALSO STEREO AND HEAT WOULD NOT COME ON UNTIL CAR WAS TURNED OFF. PROBLEM HAS JUST GOTTEN WORSE, NOW DRIVER DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. I AM FORCED TO CRAWL ACROSS FRONT SEAT TO PASSENGER SIDE TO GET IN AND OUT. ALSO, NOW STEREO STAYS ON WHEN CAR IS TURNED OFF, PARKED AND LOCKED UP. I CALLED THE CHEVROLET DEALER AFTER THE RECALL SERVICE, THEY SAID IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THEM SHAVING THE KEY DOWN AND THEY WOULD GLADLY CHECK MY CAR FOR $149.00. I CALLED GM AND THEY REFUSED TO HELP. I HAVE SPOKEN TO MANY PEOPLE ONLINE AND IN PERSON WHO ALSO OWN CHEVROLETS AND THEY ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED. THE CHEVY DEALER AND GM DROPPED THE BALL ON THIS ISSUE. *TR
