Went out to start h3, turned key, check engine light came on, the battery light came on and the anti-theft system light came on. Passlock/security system inside the steering column is bad. Car won't start. Is unsafe and will strand owner without warning by not starting. Goes into security mode. Was told to wait 10 min and try again. Can't turn it off at gas pump for fear of it locking me out and not starting. I had this happen to me 4 times in one day. So many complaints all over the internet and people trying to fix this issue. There is even a company selling a part to bypass this and the security system which again is another issue. Gm is clearly aware of this issue. This needs to be recalled. Stranding people can be very dangerous. If there is an emergency and the car won't start.

I purchased this 2007 Hummer h3 on june 2016 with 77,000 miles on it. On 11/13/2016 with 80,300+ miles , I experienced the first no start condition due to "passlock theft-deterrent system" indicator blinking when I tried to start the vehicle. I looked up the owners manual on page 100 and it indicated to wait 10 minutes before starting the vehicle again. The vehicle started after waiting for 10 minutes. The second no start condition with "passlock theft-deterrent system" indicator blinking again was on 12/05/2016 with 80,900+ miles and outside temperature was freezing point at that time and I have to wait 10 minutes inside the cold vehicle before I can start it again.
