Last monday, went for short drive, after returning home I turned car off, couple hours later... Car would not start. .One click.. everything else in car worked.. Got a boost from GM roadside assitance and drove to dealership. Car was left overnight, following day they advised they replaced a washer on the negative battery terminal and gave me my car back tuesday night,.. .Saturday morning.. .Went for short drive, went in store, came back out would not start, was boosted again and driving to dealership.. Car needed extensive charging but passed 2 battery tests... Car was left at dealership until monday, Monday comes and car didn't start, ran battery test and battery failed, they replace the battery and gave my car back to Monday night... Used yesterday over 150km and no issues.. Today after work to pick up son, went back to car and it would not start.

Currently sitting and waiting for tow at 8am tomorrow morning

3 times in 9 days..

Anyone able to give some insight?

35k on it. ..Purchased sept 2016... No issues till now.. Still underwarranty... But dealership cant fix it?

Thanks will keep you updated.. Have been getting service done at different dealership since I got the car... Dealership I purchased from is over 70km away.. There are 2 within 5km of me... I ha e been going to same one... But I think I may just tell them to take to the other one tomorrow instead, or give the dealership I been going to another chance since they looked at it already.
What would you do?

On saturday... It started after I tried a few attempts.. Popped hood... Went back to car it started and drove it promptly to dealershi... Where it continued to start fine...

It clicks once and won't start as you described.. I need to remove the key and put back in to try again and hear that click... If I don't remove the key it won't click when I turn it.

I think it's the starter too... As first day it happened monday... Worked fine after boosting drove to dealership... Started fine there too..

Or the alternator not charging the battery.

Would you suggest taking it to same dealership I have been.... Or another one..

I'm located right between 2 of them and both have been OKed to take it to by GM.

Well after arriving at my car this morning, and ticket for facing wrong direction while parked.... Vehicle would not start still
. Battery still show around 12V and all functions of car still working. Waiting for tow now

It is back at the dealership now.. Service manager has taken a look and says he think it may be the starter and says it is not a battery issue... Says will have someone look at wiring in and around starter.

Car was still not able to start but everything else continues to work.

Update.. They are now replacing the starter tomorrow when the part comes in.

Update: got my car back yesterday, starter has been replaced.

They advised me that the starter shorted out and would not engage.

Hopefully this fixs it.
