Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: When weather turns cold car will not start, after 20 - 30 minutes car starts. after first visit to dealer we were told there was no problem found, a year later as winter returns so does the problem and now we are told that the body control module and the passlock sensor both need to be replaced. we have also been told that this is not covered under warranty or even the extended warranty we purchased. i have held off on repairing as we have another vehicle we can use and did some research on the internet. although we have not experienced all the symptoms described by others, one disturbing symptom is that some gm vehicles experience sudden loss of power and or stalling. nothing has been done to correct this problem yet.
