Car wont start

Filed Jul 15, 2015 · Electrical · 238,000 miles · TN

I have owned this car for a year and after I got it the security system locked me down so the car will not start. The first incident I was driving down the road and my security light started flashing then the car quit. I pulled over as fast as I could and played with the gear lever and key and got the car restarted. So after that I had to get a new key and have it programed to the car and was told that will fix it. Well it happened 4 more times after that but after playing with the key it started up. Then the last time I was at work and after 4 hours came out to go home it would not start again. Had to have the car towed home and now it is at the gm dealership being repaired. This is not the only car that has done this from what I am reading this is a common issue with all gm's with this security system. It locks out the injectors and starter. Guess what they are the only ones who can fix this issue because their computers can read the computer. This is a big rip-off for private people who cant afford to have their car fixed at the dealer.

Variably the engine stalls without warning,rendering the ps brakes to become inoperable, extremely dangerous for me as I am 78 years old.there have been times when this has occurred there was no shoulder of the road to pull off,leaving the car in whatever lane it stalled in! It takes anywhere from 5 min to 1/2 hour to restart very very frustrating and dangerous to other travelers and to me! Something desperately needs to be done about this!

Driver side headlight socket has shorted out and burned two times since I bought my vehicle. It seems the electrical load going to the headlight is too great, therefore overloading the wires and causing a fire hazard. Plastic socket has melted along with the base of the headlamp( part# 9005).
