Consumer Description

MY DAUGHTER WENT TO START HER PONTIAC GRAND AM 2004. IT WOULD NOT START, AND THE SECURITY LIGHT IN DASH WAS FLASHING. THIS HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN 1 AND HALF HOURS. IT WAS PARKED IN FRONT OF THE HOUSE 2 TIMES, AND ONCE WHEN I ACCOMPANIED HER TO FILL UP FOR GAS. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES WITH ME DRIVING HER CAR IN THE PAST 8 MONTHS. AND HAS HAPPENED ATLEAST ONCE A WEEK WITH MY DAUGHTER THE PAST 4 MONTHS. I FOUND OUT ON LINE AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH INTO THE PROBLEM THAT THIS IS A RECURRING ISSUE WITH THE PONTIAC THE CAR DOES NOT START, NOT EVEN A CLICK. THE SECURITY LIGHT FLASHES. READING UP ON THIS. YOU HAVE TO TURN THE KEY ON AND WAIT APPROXIMATELY 10 LONG MINUTES. IN THE COLD AND HEAT. MY DAUGHTER IS A NEW DRIVER, AND SHOULD NOT HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS KNOWN GM PROBLEM. IF IT STALLS OR DOES NOT START AND AN EMERGENCY ARISES. NOW SHE HAS TO WAIT. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR ANYONE, LET ALONE A YOUNG DRIVER. GM NEEDS TO OWN UP AND FIX THIS ISSUE.
