Consumer Description

INCIDENT, CAR WILL NOT START. OVER THE PAST 6 YEARS WHEN KEY IS INSERTED INTO IGNITION THE CAR WILL NOT START. SECURITY LIGHT FLASHES AND I WILL GET LOCKED OUT FOR TEN MINUTES. THERE IS NO WARNING AS TO WHEN THIS WILL HAPPEN, ONE DAY IT HAPPENED 4 TIMES. THAT'S 40 MINUTES LOCKED OUT. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO MECHANICS WHO SAID THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG, SOME WANTED TO CHARGE $400 TO LOOK INTO IT. WHEN I ASKED A CHEVY DEALER ABOUT IT THEY SAID THEY HAVE NO KNOWN FIX. ONE DEALER SAID INSTALL A REMOTE STARTER, BUT IT MAY NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THE PROBLEM HAPPENS ALOT WHEN IT IS HOT AND HUMID, BUT CAN ALSO HAPPEN AT ANY GIVEN TIME. *TR
