Ignition Module Problems of Chevrolet HHR

2007 chevy Hhr with mileage of 63,223. No problems until 11/05/14 recall 14063 ignition switch and 14113 lock cylinder were replaced. 20 days later after fighting with gm and the dealership for 3 weeks it was towed back to dealership because vehicle would not start and key would not come out of ignition. Tested charging system and found battery to fail. Replaced battery, vehicle started and key released until the next time I went to start it about 2 weeks later. Vehicle wouldn't start and key would not come out of ignition again. 01/30/15 different dealership came to my house to pick up the vehicle and took it in for recall special coverage 14632 floor shifter replaced. Before I could get the vehicle back the dealership called and informed me the new battery had frozen and would not accept a charge. I replaced that battery with another new battery. Their diagnosis was I needed a new body control module estimated parts and labor $600 before I would ever be able to drive it. I have not drove the vehicle in over a year. It has been sitting in storage. I am authorizing the dealership to begin work on it tomorrow. If by replacing the body control module it corrects all the electrical problems this vehicle has I would expect general motors to issue a recall eventually and reimburse me for the expense of parts and labor. 06/30/2016 vehicle in for bcm replacement. Returned on 07/11/2016 without notification just left in the driveway with keys and service invoice inside vehicle. On 07/11 I moved about it about 30 feet and positioned it in the turn around. On 07/12 I went out to put the Hhr in garage before storm hit and the vehicle would not start once again. Key fob wouldn't even unlock the doors this morning. Update. . It was the bcm. Dealership failed to disconnect battery while waiting for repair parts and killed a brand new battery. Battery replaced 7/13 still starting 7/18.

Arrived home from grocery shopping and I parked my vehicle. I tried to turn the ignition off and the key would not turn. I pulled the power cable off the fuse box under the hood to shut the vehicle off. I live in a townhouse sub-division and did not want to leave the key in the ignition so I removed the ignition cylinder. I called the dealer where I bought the car and they towed it to their shop. The looked at the vehicle and told me it was under oem warranty and they had it towed to a Chevrolet dealer to have it fixed. The dealership said they would fix the ignition switch under warranty but the housing would have to be replaced at a cost to me. They replaced the parts and the vehicle would not start. The dealership called the next day and said the ecm (engine control module) would not hold its programming and needed to be replaced at my cost. Total repair $1275. 00.

Saturday afternoon, 19 June 2010. Parked vehicle, could not turn ignition switch off. Ran through all the gears and back to park, still the same, could not turn vehicle off. Had to leave vehicle running while I phoned to find a Chevrolet dealer that provided sat. Service - luckily one in the jacx FL area. Told them of problem and was advised to bring vehicle right away so they could repair, which they did. Would assume that this is a know problem with the vehicle as they had the part in stock to replace right away. My experience has been that if it is a new/unknown problem they will not have part in stock and have to order before making repairs. This is a very serious situation! had a dealer not been available on a sat. Afternoon, I have no idea what I would have done. Probably disconnected the battery in hopes of shutting down the engine, without hopefully damaging the computer module. Any way you look at it this, it is not a good situation.
