Consumer Description

THE CAR WILL NOT START RANDOMLY FOR 10MINS SOMETIMES. OR SOMETIMES IT WON'T START FOR HOURS. THE SECURITY LIGHT FLASHES AND LOCKS UP. GM NEEDS TOO RECALL THIS, IT LEAVES US STRANDED SOMEWHERE RANDOM WHEN EVER IT LOCKS UP. UNABLE TO START THE CAR FOR A MINIMUM OF 10 MINUTES. WHEN YOU ARE PARKED AND TRY TO START THE CAR IT WILL FLASH THE SECURITY LIGHT. IT DOES NOTHING BUT PREVENT THE OWNER FROM USING HIS VEHICLE, MAKE GM PERMANENTLY FIX THIS ON THEIR DIME. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I'VE OWNED THE CAR.
