Security light on the dash comes on and vehicle will not start. This continued to happen during the past year and seems to be increasing in frequency. Seems as though there are many many gm owners that are having the same problem and in talking to gm they know about the problem but state it is the owners expense to fix the problem which ranges from $500. 00-$750. 00. With the multitude of complaints I feel gm should be issuing recall. I have been stranded numerous times late at night alone and safety is an issue. You never know where or when your car won't start!.

While on a trip, I left car sit for 1 week (approximately 7 days) in the garage of my house with no accessories plugged in, and the car would not start when I returned. The battery was completely drained and did not even have enough power left in it to even unlock the doors. Took car to dealership and they found nothing wrong with the battery, charging system, or current draw when not running. This sort of thing should not happen to a car with an msrp of $30,000.
