Doors locked and unlocked by themselves during this time. Service esc, service traction, and esc off appeared. Vehicle has yet to start and now have no power whatsoever throughout the vehicle. Very odd that this is not a current recall. Help?'.

Car will not start, gm passlock security system disables car and sometimes after being stranded for 30 minutes in all kinds of weather, the car will start after going through a series of 3 times turning the key on for 10 minutes, turning key off for 10 seconds. Other times, the car will not even start after completing that reset. There should be a recall or a way to disable the security theft system so that owners are not stranded in the bitter cold termperatures while waiting for the car to reset and decide to start.
