| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: My s-10 pickup will sporadically have the security light illuminate and flash when i *try* to start my vehicle. the truck will then not start even though it cranks over perfectly fine. the security feature is not a help, but a hindrance. i am using an official gm key in my ignition when this happens. if i wait at least an hour then there is a possibility the truck will then start as if nothing were wrong and the security light goes out. this has been looked at by a certified mechanic and he states that it is something faulty in the "idiotic security system" that was standard equipment on this vehicle. i should not have to pay roughly $500 to get a faulty "security" system that really is a useless non-necessary piece of equipment fixed so that i can simply start my car with an official key! it is outrageous. i believe that one of the following two remedies should be forced upon gm: 1) they should fix this idiotic problem in my "security" system, or 2) they should bypass the "security" system that i do not want, have no need in my vehicle, and find a real pain in the posterior. this is the third time in a year that i have gotten stranded because of that [xxx] "security" light when there is nothing wrong with my truck. *nm information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr |
