My bro's 06 has a vats issue. I plan on just flashing it and removing vats altogether but I was curious if you guys have heard of another one doing this.
His car had the column lock repaired by the previous owner. I had the dealership pull all the work orders on it before he bought it. I feel his vats issue is related to that possibly.
When he unlocks it if he doesn't get the key into the ignition and turn the key within a minute or so he has to hit the unlock button on the fob again to get the security light on the dash to go out and allow the car to start. Then sometimes there's a half second delay between the time the key turns and the car actually turns over.
This is a pretty regular deal and not just intermittent. Like say he unlocks the doors and pops the trunk to put something in there. If he doesn't have the key in the ignition and the car turned on within a minute he has to hit the unlock again to get it to start.
