This could be a significant safety issue. (will the alarm initiate itself that is located directly behind the key cylinder lock causing the vehicle to die while driving)? this has happened twice in the last month... apparently this car has a anti-theft feature not mentioned in the user manual (mentions a alarm for the car radio, but not the car itself). my car would "not start" because "it" thought i was stealing my own car while trying to start the car. according to chevrolet there is no way to turn it off or reset it manually (you just have to wait until the alarm goes away), the chevrolet dealer said unit must be replaced (which would cost around $350.00 to $400.00 which i refuse to pay). regarding safety -- what would happen if you need to move the car for some reason or another in an emergency and the anti-theft light starts blinking? (no way to disable the alarm) -- need to wait... first time it took over 8 hours, the second time it took less than 1 hour for it to reset.
