Get the car to the dealer & have 'em make it right.
The car should fire right up the moment the start button's depressed, otherwise something's wrong.
Hope your 3/36 warranty's still valid.

well both are wrong,thay can repeat it,and they say it is not normal.But,they are having trouble figuring it out.It has been there for 2 days now,wife has a nice buick and has told them she will return the car when the starting problem is resolved,lol.
Hopefully by days end they will have some resolve.

well here it is,the fuel pump is faulty,there is only one other 05 in the system,so far,with this problem.They have ordered 1,it will be here in 2 weeks,it takes 9 hours to change,if all goes well.Here's hoping.

2 weeks? Are they kidding? That be would just wonderful if your fuel pump craps out on the road..... I know GM isn't great but 2 weeks for a fuel pump is crazy...........
