Default Anyone With C6 Start Problem

On occasion I have gotten a green light, pushed the start button and nothing, car does not turn over. Takes about 4-5 tries ie., tonight. Anyone else have this? I'm sure taking it to the dealer is not good because it does not happen every time.

Are you sure you have your clutch pushed all the way in? Sometimes that's been my problem.

Do you have a Window Valet?

Mods on the car are zero - no window valet. I've had DBS problems with this car. They have been corrected with the 11/2006 flash that GM performed (battery holds up much better). Ignition light is green/battery was @ 13.8. Don't know what else to say. I'm not sure this corrected things but the car was in reverse, I re-shifted to reverse, pushed the button several times, re-shifted to revers and finally got it to turn over.

Did you pump the clutch? Sounds like a clutch switch out of adjustment, since moving to and from reverse would normally work the clutch.
