Consumer Description

I PURCHASED MY USED CAR IN THE FALL OF 2015. SINCE THEN, I HAVE EXPERIENCED SEVERAL INCIDENTS - NOW OCCURRING MORE FREQUENTLY - IN WHICH MY CAR WILL NOT START BECAUSE THE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM BELIEVES I AM TRYING TO STEAL IT. WHEN I TURN THE KEY IN THE IGNITION, THE CAR WILL NOT START AND THE ANTI-THEFT LIGHT STARTS BLINKING. I MUST WAIT EXACTLY 10 MINUTES WITH THE KEY IN THE "ON" POSITION FOR THE LIGHT TO STOP BLINKING. THEN I CAN RESTART THE CAR AND IT WORKS FINE. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST FEW WEEKS. I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE FOR SOLUTIONS TO THIS PROBLEM, AND HAVE DISCOVERED THAT NUMEROUS MALIBU OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN STRANDED IN DARK PARKING LOTS MULTIPLE TIMES, AND DO NOT FEEL SAFE KNOWING THAT MY VEHICLE REGULARLY WILL NOT START WITHOUT A TEN MINUTE DELAY.
