Description of the problem	My hummer was parked in my garage and would not start. There was a clicking noise when i turned the key. I called aaa thinking it was a dead battery. They came out, got in the car and it started right up. They tested all electrical and found no issues. The battery is less than 2 years old. A few weeks later, i drove a short distance, parked and turned off my hummer. Less than 1 minute later, i got in and it would not start. This time, no clicking noise, nothing. I waited a few minutes, since i remembered that it started up the last time this happened. A few tries and about 10 minutes later, the hummer started. I immediately drove it to my mechanic for a complete diagnostic check-cost $110. 00. Everything checked out fine, and they could not replicate the problem. I have looked online and found hundreds of complaints from people with the same exact problem. And there seems to be no fix. Gm refuses to do anything about it. I have had an issue almost from day one with the key fob setting off the alarm when i try to unlock the vehicle. The horn blows, but not strongly like it would if the car is being broken into. It's a very weak honk, and it will not stop until the door is unlocked and the key inserted into the ignition and the vehicle is started. My dealer said there was nothing they could do about this and suggested it might be the fob battery. It's not, it does it with new batteries installed. The consensus of readers online is that this not starting issue is a flaw in the anti-theft system. The vehicle thinks it's being stolen and therefore will not start. I also believe this is the case, based on the problems i've had with the key fob. Getting stuck someplace is not only annoying, but can be dangerous. I live in arizona with temps in excess of 110 during the summer. Likewise for people this happens to in areas of frigid cold and snow.
