Car will not start. Need to wait 10 minutes to attempt start again. Failure is likely due to faulty anti-theft security system that reads the ignition key incorrectly but not sure. Safety issue is 10 minutes in the hot texas summer can mean instant dehydration to an infant. I am the father of an infant! some other chevy model of the same year (2005) have had the ignition lock switch replaced and I believe the same should be done with the 2005 chevy Impala.
2005 chevy Impala often times the vehicle will not start. When this happens the security light on the dash blinks, and, after I wait about 10 minutes, it will start. Upon searching the internet for a solution it is obvious that gm knows there are problems with their "pass-lock" anti theft system but will not acknowledge it or repair it for anyone. My mechanic replaced the battery and found no other problems. Suggests I take it to gm dealer.
