Vehicle won't start and security light is on. I have to wait 10 minutes with key in the on position to restart anti-theft system and then engine will start. The car as well died and security light came on while driving on the highway at speeds of 60 mph and had to coast over 2 lanes and was luckily not hit or injured. After this I took it to my normal mechanic to look at it. He fixed ignition switch on 3/3/2009 which I have documentation of problem I was having and him fixing it. This did not fix the problem and the car still does not start. I haven't had it stop while driving since then but in the back of my head I'm telling myself I need to get rid of this car before something terrible happens. Sometimes the car is fine for months and then it won't start twice in one week. This is especially a pain when it is freezing cold and I have no where else to wait 10 minutes but in my car. Seems to be very intermittent. But one thing is for sure that if I try to remote start the car with the key fab it will most likely ends in tripping the anti-theft system and the car will not start. I've seen so many complaints on-line about this issue. And I ask why has it not been recalled especially if the car can stop running while driving. This has made me lose confidence in GM, and if I buy another car I will think twice about buying another Chevy even though I like everything else about my car. I am not about to take it in and spend hundreds of dollars getting it fixed when I can save my money and buy something more dependable besides a GM car. In the next couple of years I will be able to buy a new car and I will be glad when I don't have to deal with this problem again.
