Owners manual?? What's that?? I have C5...hah!

Seriously though, most if the info in that paper weight is useless. I said MOST.... Not all....

I remember it very clearly!

It was on the 12th, of N-E-V-E-R-!

Also since the trunk has no keyhole, if the battery ever completely died I guess you'd just have to jump it from under the hood? You could crawl through the trunk I suppose but my sound system makes that impossible.

I've tried jumping cars with completely dead batteries and they still won't start, hopefully that does not happen to me!

When I worked at a dealer, we'd get inside and pop the hood, hook up the terminals under the hood and pop the trunk, then replace or jump off of the battery directly. Made it sooo much easier, albeit a few extra steps.

When I would make a strong left turn my car would suddenly turn off and go dead. And this was is in traffic. I would have to come to a stop and restart the car.

I thought my knees were touching the keys and some how I was inadvertently turning off the ignition. I also thought it could be the weight of my keys so I made some adjustments.

So the problem sort of went away. However, when I start up my car in the morning and make an immediate U-turn, the ignition would go off in the middle of a u-turn. So I knew, turning the handle was an issues when starting my car up.

I told my service rep at the dealer but he couldn't do much for me. I don't have any problems right now. And that's because I don't make U-turns when I first start up my car in the morning. But to know that there was an issues with the ignition and there is a fix on the way is a relief. For a while, I thought I was somehow causing the problem.

Unfortunately if the solution is a new key I doubt this will fix your issue.

Once when I locked my keys in my car somehow, and the battery was dead on my spare set. What luck!

Have you downloaded the PDF version? I use it more than the paperweight.

The 13 will probably be different, lots of features changed from 2010.
I usually look in it first if I have any questions, if I can't find it there then I come here and search or ask....but most of the time the owners manual answers my question instead of having to sift through a lot of guesses and other BS people tend to post on here to find the right answer.

UPDATE!!!

GM now says no future sales of any vehicle to anyone over 5'10" tall and legs longer than a 30" inseam. It's just for your own protection.

What will happen next? Stay tuned.

Now that the Congressional Hearing is over can the stop sale stop?

Congress was not amused so it was all for naught.

Just now, after I read this thread, I went out just see if I had a key hole or not. I never noticed I did. I have always used the key fob.

With my car that was never. Keyless entry always.
