I got in my car last night, coming from out the grocery store, and it wouldn't start!. . . . Anti theft system light kept blinking. I live in michigan and its January, I was freezing, crying and didn't know what to do. Thank goodness I didnt have my daughter with me. . . . I googled about what happened and it seems a lot of people are having this problem. Why hasn't this been recalled????!!!!!. . . I tried the 10 minute fix but while doing it, it drained my battery. Every gm car I had, has given me problems. They don't want us to buy foreign but I think next time I get a car thats where im heading!. . . Gm you are ridiculous and every site I get to complain on about you, I will!!!!. . . . Get this fixed ASAP!!.

Over the last few months my car has had a hard time starting every once in a while. Today when I got home from work I turned it to the acc position while I was on the phone, about 2 minutes later I noticed the anti theft light come on and my lights went dim. I tried to turn it back on but it would not start. The anti theft light started blinking and my locks on the doors were locking and unlocking repeatedly. I could hear clicking in my door, under the hood, and in the back of my car somewhere. I read online and found a disturbing number of people who have also had this problem, they seemed to have a fix of keeping it on the acc position until the light went off, turn it off and leave it off for a few minutes and then it should work! I tried it. . . . It didn't work. It just went crazy again with the flashing light and clicking noises. Its been 5 hours and I still can not turn on my car. The window is stuck open and I can not go to work!!!.

The light illuminates and once the vehicle shuts off, she must leave the ignition in the on position before it can restart. The failure has occurred several times and the contact has had to wait ten minutes or more for the vehicle to restart. The manufacturer's manual does not state how to stop this failure. This failure should only occur when someone is attempting to steal the vehicle, but always occurs while the contact is driving. She paid over $700 to repair the vehicle and six months later, the failure recurred. The engine size was unknown. The current mileage is 38,000 and failure mileage was 35,000.
