NHTSA Complaint #10780268 — 2004 CHEVROLET IMPALA

WHEN I GO TO START MY CAR I HAVE NO LIGHTS AND NO SIGN OF TURNING OVER. THEN I WAIT 10 TO 20 MINUTES AND I GET SOME LIGHTS ON THE DASH, THEN FINALLY IT WILL START. (THIS WAS HAPPENING JUNE & JULY OF 2015) NOW, I HAVE LIGHTS, IT JUST DOESN'T WANT TO TURN OVER. IF IT DOES TRY TO TURN OVER, IT DOESN'T STAY RUNNING. WAIT 5 TO 20 MINUTES THEN IT WILL START. IT USUALLY HAPPENS AFTER I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THEN STOP SOMEWHERE FOR A WHILE, THEN WHEN I GO TO LEAVE I HAVE THE ISSUES. BUT THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES WHEN I FIRST START THE CAR AFTER ITS BEEN SITTING FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME LIKE OVER NIGHT IT WON'T START THIS ISSUE HAS BEGUN AROUND AUGUST OF 2015 TOOK TO TWO DIFFERENT GARAGES, ONE INDEPENDENT THE OTHER A CHEVY DEALERSHIP. NEITHER WANT DO ANYTHING BECAUSE THERE ARE NO CODES, BECAUSE OF WASTING MONEY ON PARTS THAT MAY NOT BE NEEDED, WHICH I APPRECIATE, BUT YET IS FRUSTRATING. WHEN I GOOGLE MY ISSUE ONLINE THERE ARE MANY WHO ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. THERE ARE MANY DIFFERENT IDEAS ON WHAT TO REPLACE BUT NO SPECIFICS. SEEMS LIKE MANY ARE HAVING ISSUES WITH DEALERSHIPS....STATING CHEVY NEEDS TO LOOK INTO THE PROBLEM AND HAVE A RECALL OF SOME SORT. I CAN'T AFFORD TO BE REPLACING PARTS JUST TO SEE IF IT'S THE PROBLEM. I HAVE ALREADY PAID $42 TO THE DEALERSHIP TO DRIVE MY CAR ALL DAY TO SEE IF IT WOULD DO THE PROBLEM. ONLINE IDEAS ARE STATING AS SIMPLE AS REPLACE THE GAS TANK CAP TO ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILURE. I HAD SIMILAR ISSUES BACK IN 6/2009, CODE WAS READ AND THEY REPLACED THE PASSLOCK SENSOR, THEN HAD TO REPLACE IT AGAIN IN 7/2010
