WE BEGAN HAVING PROBLEMS STARTING OUR CAR, THE SECURITY LIGHT WAS ON AND STAYED ON. SOME DAYS IT WOULD START AND OTHERS IT WOULDN'T AND THEN IT EVENTUALLY WOULD NOT START AT ALL. AFTER BEING IN THE SHOP FOR A WEEK AND STUMPING THE MECHANICS, WE STILL HAVE NOT SOLVED THE ISSUE. EVERYTHING HAS BEEN CHECKED FROM THE FUEL PUMP TO THE SENSORS AND THEY ALL TESTED GOOD. OUR IGNITION WENT BAD AND SINCE WE HAD IT REPLACED IT HAS BEEN BAD. THIS CAR HAS LEFT US STRANDED PLACES WITH THREE SMALL KIDS. WE HAVE TO LEAVE THE KEY IN THE ON POSITION FOR ABOUT TEN MINUTES THEN TURN TO OFF THEN START AND SOMETIMES IT TAKES THREE OR FOUR TIMES BEFORE IT WORKS. *TR

CAR WILL NOT START AT TIMES....IT HESITATES TO START. ALOT OF GM VEHICLES HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM. GM NEEDS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM WITH A RECALL. *TR
