Car wont start...WTF!!!...FIXED
Ok everybody, it breaks down like this...
My beloved new 07 MC SS, with a whopping 767 miles on it, is currently sitting awkwardly in my driveway. I was backing out of my garage earlier this evening when my car just died. I'm getting a "Service Traction Control" as well as "Service Brake Assist" on the DIC. WhenI turn the key...nothing. Alllights, radio, windows, AC, etc are working fine.A similar thing happened the other day at my local grocery store, but it started right back up so I chalked it up to "one of those things." Well I guess it wasn't. Thankfully it happened in my driveway, not when I was in Tampa (35 miles away) earlier today.
Well it will go to the dealership tomorrow. Hopefully it will be something fairly simple & easily resolved.
I will keep y'all posted.
Cheers,
Glenn

Hi Glenn,
I'd really be pissed [:@]
Did you try disconnecting the battery and letting the cars computer
reset ? I think you should be compensated for your lost
time and troubles. A free tank of gold (gas) would be nice.
Please let us know, what the problem was.
Good Luck,

Good idea on the battery, though I did not think of it.Even if I had thought to disconnect/reconnect the battery I stillwould've brougth the car into the dealer. Obviously there is something freaky going onwith it. I truly hope they figure out what is causing the problem & don't just resetit & call it good.It is in the shop as we speak & I'm still waiting to hear from them. I will keep everybody posted.
I'll push for the free tank of gas
Cheers,
Glenn

at the price of gas right now that would be a great compensation

I know that when my "service traction control" went on the remote start disabled. Probably an intentional feature.
There was a TSB and they replaced the pcm for that. I wonder if your pcm is gone or an intentionalfeature not to start when your brakes show codes.

That is good information. I'll be sure to inquire about it at the dealership. And I'll be sure to pass on what I find out.

Actually something silly that happend with mine, was the battery was on the verge of dying even though it was brand new. Hence the reason I chistianed it Christine as it seemed possessed.
Once the battery was swapped everything worked great. Also all internal options worked as well, just wouldn't start.
