- 2003 Impala Original Owner - We started having problems after 100K miles. There are times when it will not start, but the battery is not dead. A mechanic suggested we turn the key but not all the way, let the bell ring (5 to 6 times), push the gas pedal to the floor the same number of times, turn the key back off, then try to start again. IT HAS WORKED EVERY TIME WE HAVE TRIED THIS (4 or 5 times).

Security light has been staying on. Today, it wouldn't start. We checked fuses, jumped the starter solenoid and any other trick we could think of. Nothing. As we were about to give up, we tried the key one more time and the stupid thing started. Go figure! Seems like everyone is having the same problems with no real answers to the problem. Is it the security system, the solenoid, or some ridiculous computer problem the manufacturer put in to make you go the the dealership so they could rip you off???!!!!
