WENT TO THE STORE AND WHEN I CAME OUT MY CAR WOULD NOT START, THE SECURITY LIGHT WAS FLASHING. I READ THE OWNERS MANUAL AND IT SAID TO CLEAN THE KEY AND CHECKS THE FUSES. I DID BOTH OF THESE AND STILL NO START. I CALLED A GM DEALER AND TOLD HIM WHAT HAD HAPPENED, HE SAID THAT THE CAR IS NOT RECOGONING THE KEY AND THAT IS WHY IT WONT START. THE KEY HAS A CHIP ON IT, NOW THIS IS IN NO WAY SOMETHING THAT WAS CAUSED BY NEGLECT, IT IS FROM A DEFECT IN THE KEY, YET GM WILL NOT PAY TO GET THIS FIX AND GET THE CAR BACK ON THE ROAD.

4 ALTERNATOR FAILURES ARE WAY BEYOND WHAT IS NORMAL IN 97000 MILES. OTHER PONTIAC OWNERS INDICATE THAT GM SEEMS TO HAVE A HISTORY OF THIS PROBLEM THOUGH THE DEALERS DENY IT. BASED ON THE PROBLEMS WE'VE HAD I DOUBT WE'D BUY ANOTHER GM CAR. *AK
