Intermittent flaky start button?

Sometimes when I enter my car, put my foot on the brake, and press the start button, nothing happens. If I push the button several more times and nothing. However, if I remove my foot from the brake pedal, put my foot back on the brake, and press then start button, it suddenly starts.

It's not a major issue, but it is annoying.

Anyone else have this problem?

I have a similar issue but my seat will not move into my saved driving position. It will stay at the exit position even after I start the car.

I have seen this already, I had to replace a brake switch in a 1LT because it had failed and the car was no longer able to start. Might take that car in and get it checked out before you get stranded.

I, and every other Camaro owner that hangs clothes in their cars, need a solution.

How is that the same issue? You are talking about your memory seat not working, he is talking about his car not starting.

Well, if his seat does not move forward, he is not able to reach the start button.
Same problem-----Car wont start.

This is how the car works, it takes it time to boot up the computer and it is the delay or lock out you see.

What happens is if you hit the brake and start button too fast together the car will not register it. I've done it a few times on my car. You have to have the brake pedal down firm first and THEN hit the start button.

LOL!! Sorry, that had me laughing!

OP, take it to the dealer.. I'm sure there's a switch under the brake pedal that isn't working correctly.

Hi jhutch,

If interested, we are happy to reach out to them on your behalf. Feel free to send us a private message with additional details of what you're experiencing, along with your contact info and VIN.

Best,
