SOMETIMES THE SECURITY LIGHT COMES ON WHEN I TRY TO START MY CAR AND I CANT. AFTER TURNING THE KEY A FEW TIMES BACK AND FORTH THE CAR WILL TURN OVER. DO THE CARS HAVE A INTEGRATED SECURITY SYSTEM OR SOME KIND OF ANTI THEFT SYSTEM THAT KICKS IN SOMETIMES?

Yes, they have a factory security system. If the light is on, there is most likely a sensor problem. Try a different key. The chip may be going bad in the one you normally use.

If the problem continues, eventually it won't start. If that happens, turn the key to the run positiion and let it there for 10+ minutes. This should over ride the system to get you home. ALso, only dealers have the proper test equipment to check this problem.
