The security light started flashing along with the head lights and dome light. Now the light stays on,the doors wont lock or unlock, the trunk button don't work, and it only starts when it wants to. I have not done anything to fix it yet, but I heard gm has not either and I think this is crazy considering all of the people with the same kind of issue. 2003 monte carlo ssthey say it is around 500 to fix their mess that they pawned off on me. This is my first gm car and probably the last.

2003 chevy monte carlo. "security" displayed in message center. While driving at night my headlights flash on and off, my doors will not lock or unlock and trunk will not open using inside buttons or wireless remote. I have contacted several other people with same problem who have spent hundreds at chevy garages to fix this, with no resolve. I talked to a chevy mechanic who said they are seeing alot of these "manufacture security defects" and eventually my car will lock down and not run, so where is the recall to correct their issue.

Below about 15 degrees fahrenheit, the driver door power lock becomes inoperative. Once warm, the lock operates normally. The passenger door lock is not affected by cold temperature at all.

I own a monte carlo ss 2006, and while driving the battery cable or another part of it came loose or malfunctioned, to where it was short circuiting the power to the car. I was on the highway driving and lost all power, even the alternator stopped. This seemed like it was triggering the theft protection; anyhow I had no power, and had to coast to the side of the road. I put the car in park and couldn't turn my key back to the release position, so I popped the hood but couldn't get out of the car because the door wouldn't unlock. I pulled on both handles and with no power the car wouldn't let me out. A person stopped and opened the hood and moved the battery wiring around some, which gave me power to at least open my door now. I took the car directly to the dealer ship to be serviced and looked into. My main concern is if I am in a wreck and lose all power to the vehicle then how am I to open the door(s). The handle should unlock the car door from the inside with or without power.

Repeated efforts to get gm/michael's chevy to fix the following problems: a.c. Fan on high rattles, interior trim pieces (after dealer repairs) does not fit together and hangs down, causing problem getting in and out of vehicle,transmission replaced at 11,500+/- miles leaving floor shifter to slip out of drive into neutral with ease,tachometer doesn't work all the time and the trip o meter fails at different times,power door locks don't allow entrance/exiting(both acturators have been replaced), all attempts with dealers have ended with " can't duplicate problem" and several sun treatments(no effort to repair or find problem). I left the auto with dealership for 2weeks and it was not repaired. Gm refuses to apply any efforts to help in resolutions. I'm now at the point that I'm forced to trade away this auto because I can't get gm/penske dealership to honor the warranty( dot number: none tire size: p225/60r- )
