I have a 2003 Impala. I went to start my car and it would not start. The battery is not dead. Everything inside the car came on and the windows would roll down. But the engine would not turn over. After waiting for about ten minutes it started right up. I have read that there is a problem with the passlock security system in a lot of gm cars.
The contact stated the door locks were making a clicking noise and the doors would not lock. When he tried to lock the doors, they would slowly unlock. The battery died before he took the vehicle to the dealership. The dealership found the bcm, and the battery needed to be replaced. They state it was because the vehicle was not driven enough. The vehicle has been repaired, and there have been no further problems.
My battery has failed three times in less than three years and has had to be replaced. I have been stranded twice having to wait over an hour to get assistance. Each time I take the car into the dealer they say they can't understand why the battery would fail so soon and then they put in a new one.
