Wow, lots of similar problems as mine. A few months ago my car wouldn't start and the security light was flashing but all the electrical was working. I since found out that if I keep the key in the "on" position for about 20 minutes, this resets the security and I can start my car. Now it is happening all the time and it is really inconvenient!!!! Also, the Security light comes on while I am driving but it doesn't shut the car down.The dealer is not sure what is wrong and suggests replacing the ignition switch. After reading all of the complaints I am afraid that I will be wasting my money. It would be nice if GM would fix this problem.
