I went to start the car and it was completely dead, the lights worked and the "door ajar" light worked also, I had the car towed to a shop where I was told it was the ignition switch. A new one was put in, I paid $553 took the car and ran errands. After leaving the car not running for about 1-1/2 hours I went to start it and the same thing happened. Car was towed back to shop where mechanic called chevy dealer and they told him since it was an aftermarket part, it wasn't compatible. He ordered a gm/chevy ignition switch and replaced my battery too. I picked the car up today, ran errands but left the car running. As soon as I came home I turned the car off and went to restart it and the same thing happened. I called the shop and the owner came here and opened the hood and showed me that the fuse blew, when going to put a new fuse in, it started sparking. This is a safety hazard as it is going to wind up causing a fire because there is obviously some sort of short in the wiring. I called gm/chevy and conveniently as of 2010 models it is only covered under the bumper to bumper warranty so they will not do anything. I think they know that this is a malfunction on their vehicles but they won't do anything about it. Please help.
