Problem with key/starting?
 
Has anyone had issues with a key? Of course, when I purchased my car they gave me two keys. A couple of months ago my car would not start. Everything electrical would work so I knew it wasn't a battery issue and assumed my starter had went out. I towed my car to the dealer and handed them my EXTRA set of keys. Well for 5 days they kept my car and could not duplicate the problem. So I had to pick it up, well as soon as I tried to start the car with MY set of keys the car would not start. So I took both keys and tried them both and one started it right up! One of my keys were bad. I would have never thought of this, I didn't even know the keys contained a chip. Needless, to say I have to take my key back to the dealer so have them order me another one.

RE: Problem with key/starting?
 
usually all you have to do is start it with the other key and then use it to where you drive at least 100 miles w that key. sometimes you can use the original key right after starting it or after the 100 miles or use the other key and drive it to the Chevy Dealer
