Starter Relay Problems of Chevrolet Impala

2009 Impala, owned since 2011. Started to give us issues a year after purchase where we would get no crank, no start. Replaced battery thinking it was the issue. It worked for a couple of days and started over again. No crank, no start. Replaced starter with autozone brand and it worked fine a few days. It started to happen again, no crank, no start. Replaced starter with oem from gm. It worked for a couple of days and the issue started to happen again. No crank, no start. Replaced starter relay, pulled bcm and cleaned all contacts. After cleaning bcm contacts it seemed to of worked but a few weeks later it gave us the same problem. Changed ignition switch and continued to have the same no crank, no start issues. We just continued to live with it. The car cranks after 5 or 6 turns of the key and became apart of our daily life. Now the big issue is the car turned off on us while driving a few days ago. Let it sit 30 mins. And tried to crank but we were getting no crank no start. It eventually cranked and started but I'm worried because I have my grand kids with me often and fear if im on the highway I can get into a serious collision. Airbag light has came on since then and can't afford to go to the dealership to get the vehicle diagnosed. I've called gm and since the vehicle is no longer under warranty I would be responsible for everything. Have also checked the cables to make sure they are tight and free of corrosion. No oil drips on the starter. We give the car scheduled oil changes and take care of it very well.

My 2006 chevy Impala will not turn on. I replaced the battery and starter with the same results. Starter relay is also good. I have researched this problem on the web and to my horror, this is a common problem with this vehicle, with very high dollar possible solutions that may not work. Every time I bring in this vehicle I am charged 100 dollars for them to say what is wrong and when they (supposedly) fix it ( or say it did not do it with them and its all in my head and your doing something wrong to it), it does it again. The charging system is ok but there is no power at all thruout the car but if you wait a couple of hours it will show lights but it will not even crank and then go completely dead. This same problem has happened from every other customer who has had this problem and cost them plenty of money without a solution. I have researched youtube, yahoo answers, fixit, etc. . . And this is what all these other numerous customers are saying even when they went to the chevy certified mechanics throuout the country. I do not have the resources to keep paying for diagnosis and numerous possible fixes that does not remedy the problem. Bringing the vehicle to a chevy dealer for them to charge me an arm and a leg to not fix the problem ( and no they will not give you a refund for not fixing the problem that they charge a 100 dollars upfront to diagnose). This is not the only problem, the transmission slams into gear especially when you come from a start or after you back up and drive forward. This is not normal but chevy will say it us. I take pride in keeping my car running so I know it is not from neglect or abuse this is simply an ongoing problem that these chevy vehicles have because I m seeing this exact same problem on their other models throughout multiple year spectrum. This is ridiculous!!! all these consumers across the country are not wrong.

Security issue when trying to start the engine. Security error will flash when attempting to start up the engine which resulted in loss of power to all systems. The only fix appeared to be to wait 20-30 minutes and then try to start the engine again. Area shops admit knowledge of defect,. Some blame the ignition switch, which has been replaced at personal cost and the problem remained. Some technicians claimed that gm has not yet figured out what the problem was. Am wa s aware of the same problem with silverado trucks as well. Am a lifetime owner of gm vehicles, but this will probably be my last unless an acceptable solution was found. Found.
