It is the GM Pass-Lock system part of the ignition switch. The only true fix for the problem is a GM dealership maintenance department Replace Ignition Switch. $450.00 and they re-flash your ECM-Electronic Control Unit (engine computer) to learn the new ignition. Or with the correct electronic gear and security clearance to have it... anyone can do it (can you say firmware update) not very hard!
