“As I'm reading different websites and now this site to find a solution as to what's wrong with my car, I see I share the same problem with a lot of other people... I too have a 2004 Alero that will crank but not turn over... The security light comes on and stays on... When I first noticed it I would turn my car off then back on and it will go off... Lately it will come on and stay on, now it won't start! In the morning I will try what everyone else tried with turning the key until the light goes off, but this is really ashame that this many people are having the same problem! …”
