Consumer Description

SINCE I BROUGHT MY 2005 CHEVROLET IMPALA IN 2006, I HAVE ALWAYS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MY PASSLOCK SYSTEM. ONE MINUTE MY CAR IS DRIVING FINE. I PARK IT GO WHERE I NEED TO GO AND THEN COME BACK TO MY CAR TO LEAVE AND IT WON'T START. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP IN 2006 AND THEY SAID IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AND CLAIMED THAT THEY FIXED IT. HOWEVER SINCE THEN IT HAS HAPPEN TO ME REPEATEDLY. ACCORDING TO THE OWNER MANUAL IT SAYS " LEAVE THE KEY IN THE IGNITION AT THE ON POSITION AND WAIT UNTIL THE SECURITY LIGHT IS NO LONGER FLASHING. ONCE IT STOPS, TURN THE KEY TO THE OFF POSITION AND START THE CAR." THIS NEVER WORKS FOR ME. SOMETIMES THE FLASHING LIGHT CONTINUE FOR THE WHOLE DAY, AND MY CAR IS JUST STUCK WHERE EVER THE INCIDENT (SECURITY LIGHT FLASHING) OCCURS. *TR
