NHTSA Complaint #10726426 — 2007 CHEVROLET IMPALA

THIS ALL STARTED WHEN THE FACTORY BATTERY WENT DEAD SO I WENT AND PURCHASED A NEW ONE ABOUT A WEEK AFTER I WENT OUT ONE MORNING TO LEAVE FOR WORK AND IT WOULDN'T START HAD TO BE JUMPED. SO LATER ON I CHECKED FOR A DRAIN ON THE BATTERY AND FOUND OUT THAT THE RADIO THE INTERIOR LIGHTS AND THE DISPLAY WHERE CAUSING A DRAIN. SO I HAD ALL THREE CHECKED ALL TESTS FINE SO I PURCHASED ANOTHER BATTERY AND WAS GOOD FOR ABOUT A WEEK THEN ALL THE SUDDEN THE RADIO DIED AND ALL THE AUDITABLE SOUNDS STOP WORKING THE NEXT DAY WENT OUT TO TRY TO START THE CAR AND NOTHING HAPPENED ONLY HAD HEADLIGHTS AND INTERIOR LIGHTS WOULDN'T START. SO I PUT IT ON A CHARGER FOR A COUPLE HOURS TRIED IT AGAIN AND IT WAS COMPLETELY DEAD LIKE THERE WAS NO BATTERY IN . COME TO FIND OUT THAT THE BCM ( BODY CONTROL MODULE ) WAS SHORTED. NOW I'VE GOT TO FIND A NEW AND FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET IT UP TO DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT PROGRAMMED
