To whoever created the GM/Hummer Passlock VATS
I am going to find you.
That is possibly the worst anti-theft system ever conjured. Who decided shutting off the fuel injectors for 10 minutes would be any help at all? Car thief's would just wait the 10 minutes out, especially when it doesn't even sound the alarm. You might be thinking " Wow! This could literally only fuck over the owner." CORRECT!!! And it wouldn't be so bad if it didn't malfunction all the fucking time. Every day or two without fucking fail, it will throw a hissy fit, and now I get to sit in a 115F car with my thumb up my ass for just trying to turn my car on.
I've cleaned the connectors with ECM cleaner, I've replaced the ignition cylinder, I've swapped keys and to no fucking avail. I shouldn't have to ship my car off to a third-party to get the VATS ripped out of it, yet that's probably what I'll have to do! It is honestly surprising that someone hasn't sued over this (that I know of), considering how dangerous it is/could be. What if there's a tornado, or a wildfire, or a shooting and I have to start my car and drive away but instead I get a blinking little padlock and a gigantic fuck you from my own car, and now I'm dead!! (Hypothetically).
And can someone please tell me how heat affects a anti-theft system???? This shit never happens in the fall, winter, or spring, but as soon as Summer rolls around, I might as well be gambling every I try and turn my car on. It has made me late countless times, and I can't even leave 10 minutes early in anticipation of it happening, because it might happen twice in a row. Seriously, what the actual fuck?? I hate this car, and I think I hate myself more.
