Car would not start there was no clicking sounds or anything passlock security light and battery light comes on fiddled around with lock and unlock on remote waited 10 minutes and car started no problem. This has happened twice since I purchased this car 2 weeks ago. I am not impressed with this car. Good thing I wasn't stranded somewhere especially with my 5 week on son in the car.

Problem with message center, security lite comes on then battery lite, then service vehicle soon, then air conditioning would not turn on, started funny, did not start turning over when I first turned the key it started to turn over about 1 sec after turning the key and started ok then. All of this happened a the same time for the first time. Prior to this I reported a popping/snapping noise when you turned the key. The chev dealer said this was normal (3 weeks prior to the problem).

I recently(3-7-05) purchased a used 2002 Chevy Impala from my uncle. He told me that based on info received from a former GM mech.; there was a starter problem that he had yet to experience. I have had the car a little over 3 weeks now and have experienced the problem 4 times in the last 5 days. I replaced the starter yesterday(3-23-05) based on what my uncle had told me. 20 minutes after installing the new 1 the car did not start. Called a local dealership this morning(3-24-05) and was told that the problem was with the body control module and the ignition cylinder. This dealer told me that he has 1 Monte Carlo/Impala come in every month with this problem. I asked him if it was recall on the part(s). He told me "no" and the the replacement cost was between $450-600. Now I'm out $250 for a starter I didn't need and being told I'm looking @ another bill around $500. In my opinion 1 car a month is too many and that was at just 1 dealer. I have 14 Chevrolet dealers within 15 miles of my house. That is 168 cars just near me in 1 year. I think this needs to be looked into.
