MY 1998 GMC JIMMY HAS THE PASSLOCK SYSTEM. IT HAS ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS LEFT ME STRANDED BECAUSE OF THE SECURITY SYSTEM THINKING I'M STEALING MY OWN CAR. THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING AND SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF BY THE MANUFACTURER. *JB

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
