| I drive an oldsmobile intrigue 2002 with the passlock security system. it flashes while driving over the last week or so and today it left me and my daughter stranded. the car would not start. when i came back to the car later it did start. i found many web posts about this problem and apparently dealers can only replace the ignition switch to make this better. *nm | |||

| Fail to start and it was at the dealer 3 times, we didn't get receipts, and they say 2 times. they could not find the problem and we went weeks and months without any problem. it started again this feb and every time we tried to drive it, we had to jump it. the dealer took it in this past month and said he couldn't find anything wrong, of course, it's out of warranty with only today we are paying to have a private repair man find and fix the problem, which we think is a starter. we do not have records of when the problem started, only the year, so therefore i'm putting in jan 1 for asterik. | |||
