I just bought a used 2002 Chevy Impala and had it been inspected by two separate mechanics. Both of them had said the car was in excellent condition and the only thing the car needed was four new tires within the next 2,000 miles. The day after the car was at the mechanics it would take several tries to turn on the engine. I would run an errand and be inside a store for no more than 15min and my car will not start until the 5th or 6th attempt. It has been doing this the last several days. I also found out that the car will not start at all if any of the car doors are open.

Ok... this f*cking car.... I have missed days from work because it would not start, then hours later it starts. 2 days ago i went to get my kids from daycare and we were stuck there because it did not start back up had it towed to shop after hours next morning when they went out to my car it started with no problem so i had to pay 6$67 for towing for nothing basically. Its july and I got this car in March off a friends brother, the car pissing me off. when i drive the security light pops on here ands there. a few times it has stalled. iv noticed lately that when i lock the car with my key ring things that its hesitant on doing so, it does it just a lot slower then usual.... WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON???
