anybody have this problem.....
i try to start the car in the morning, regardless of weather, and the car only cranks and just makes a hissing sound (really loud) and doesn't turn on.
but, if i unlock/lock the car 3-4 times, the car works like normal. ridiculous.

Its a new computer setting known as Detroit mode. Another feature is the auto-ghetto sensor that automatically locks your doors and prevents unlocking them unless you turn your parking lights on and off 4 times when you're in a bad neighborhood.

I was really expecting a suggestion to try using the search feature as this problem has been discussed here many times before.

lol. Then i guess you won't mind terribly if it takes them a month to fix the issue. 
. No mileage on your car and a "pimp" loaner to boot. I think I can see it now.... you grinning ear to ear
