My 2000 Pontiac Grand Am has left me stranded about 100 times, I have had my car fixed 7 times for the security light problem under warranty but the problem has not been corrected. The car only starts when it wants to because of the pass lock system failure. Please have GM recall the parts of the security feature it really isn't safe to be stranded when I work in the middle of night.
