I have been having problems with my Malibu. If the car doesn't start on the first try, a flashing message "Theft System" will appear on the instrument panel. I have to wait for some 10-15 minutes before trying again. What do I need to do to eliminate this problem?

Thanks.

Try a different key for starters. Most often it seems the ignition switch goes bad on these. A no-start is the more common symptom. If another keys doesn't change anything, it is best to have it diagnosed.
