    Does anyone know how many digits are used and are there letters in the code.

    This message was from GM customer service, Is this true or is this just to get me to the dealer

    You would have to come in and have the l cylinder replace through the dealership. If you do this repair by yourself, and get a key made to work with the ignition. The vehicle will go into lock up mode because the car would think it was being stolen. In my comparative search for the best pricing I discovered that Multi Chevrolet in Union, NJ has the best quote of $125 -175 for the lock and $50 for the key. Thank you for letting me know that you travel to New Jersey and Connecticut that's helped with the price point the other places were too high. I hope you get this issue resolved. Let me know, if you need any other assistance.

    what a crock of sh1t. keep checking dealerships as you see them. have the title or registration with you to prove its your car.

    this info should be f'ing free. all you want is the code, then take the code to a lock smith.

    any GM dealer has this info, gmc buick chevy caddy, you name it they all have access to the info via the vin #.

    worst case, call a local auto lock smith, they can make keys on site, and program it to work, but they are also not cheap.
