2011 convert / NO START??

2011 convert / NO START??
I am having a problem with NO START.....
Just had battery checked/ No problem
All seems fine with lights etc. but when turn key nothing?
Also notice I can't roll down windows, and when you get in the windows don't go down a bit like the rag top will.
I have had this problem one time B4? Can't remember what fixed.
I have had a few times when start made me roll down front window then back then other front then back?????
Car acts like in Immobilizer mode but light dose not stay on like book says and I have tried both keys, will lock and seem keys will operate all but NO Turn over the starter???????

WTF ????????

Not fully engaged in park? Have you tried starting it in neutral?

Thank you Ashley, I have tried to start in park, then neutral, then park.
The local dealership told me to disconnect the battery and short cables together momentarily???
This didn't work..........
I notice that when I lock the car with the fab the horn doesn't beep, all lights flash and the radio is still on 10 or more min later, then will go out? This is what happened the first time the car did this , my wife drove 50 miles to work, got out locked the car and walking away the radio was still on. She walked back unlocked the car, wouldn't start. Played with it a few min then finally started, wanted her to roll each window down then up on display????
This is the third time this has happened,
Do I have to pay to tow this car 50 miles to the dealership or dose GM take care of this warante?

Top off/ No start........

I would think this is covered under your road side assistance. Give them a call.

TopoffSS,

He11bent is correct in that you can get roadside assistance to tow the vehicle for you which is generally covered under warranty. Usually they will tow the vehicle to the closest dealership. If there is a specific dealership that you need to visit, definitely bring this up to the roadside agent and see what they say. The Chevrolet Roadside Assistance number is 800-243-8971.

Hopefully the dealership will be able to diagnosis and repair the issue quickly for you so you can get back on the road! I'd be happy to follow the repairs at your dealership. Just let me know.

Is your Camaro parked with the wheels turned? If so, does the steering wheel feel extremely tight - no play at all ? If so, grab athe wheel and tug hard one way - opposite of way the wheels are turned. Once the steering wheel breaks lose fromk being jammed your car should start fine. This happened to me yesterday and scared me at first.

Thats just bizarre!

Just my two cents... If the key goes in and it doesn't start the dealer can figure it out and fix it. I mean we have all had our old cars that have quirky little things about them but that wouldn't be acceptable for a car under warranty.
