Consumer Description

I HAVE HAD MANY PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR STARTING TO DUE A SECURITY GLITCH. FOR THE PAST FEW YEARS MANY TIMES MY CAR WILL NOT START BECAUSE IT TECHNICALLY THINKS I'M TRYING TO BREAK INTO MY OWN CAR. THE SECURITY LIGHT STARTS BLINKING AND WHEN I TURN THE IGNITION IT DOESN'T START. I HAVE TO TURN THE KEY TO 'ON' ON THE IGNITION AND SIT FOR ABOUT 10 OR SOMETIMES 20 MINUTES UNTIL THE CAR STARTS. THIS HAS BEEN VERY FRUSTRATING SITUATION FOR ME AND DEPENDING ON THE SITUATION I'M IN IT ALSO COULD BE DANGEROUS. I'VE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WITH CHEVY IMPALAS IN GENERAL.
