This is a known issue to Chevrolet as they have recalled several other makes and models due to a faulty body control module. The steering pump needed to be changed, when the battery was unconnected then reconnected, the bcm faulted, resulting in a complete lock out of the vehicle. The vehicle then needed to be towed away because the key was locked in the ignition. Two weeks and $1000 later, still no vehicle and chevy doesn't want to hear anything. They keep saying, sorry but this is not one of the vehicles that was recalled. Although other bcms have been recalled, not this one. And they keep repeating this. It isn't a new problem, if you check sites on the internet, it's very common. I think they should be held responsible for their negligence.

I bought the car with no problem then all of a sudden it started with hard starting now it doesn't want to start at all. I brought it to a mechanic and they just pointed at stuff and then blamed the remote start and told me to change my ignition module it didn't fix the problem bought brand new plugs and wires and that didn't fix it then they told me to change the computer and that made no difference. They first told me to change the ignition switch and it cost me 180 dollars then I had to buy a blinker switch witch was also around 190 dollars this is money I don't have. And now im on foot because my car wont start and I need help I have no idea who knows how to work on cars were I live. I need somewhere that they know wiring or something, just help. I have no more money and I just need to have this stupid problem fixed. I also have a problem were the car will die out at a certain speed or when I let off the gas. I almost was hit by another car when this happened.
