Anybody else having times when you hit the stop button, the dash goes dark, the O light lights, but the engine keeps running?
It's happened to me a few times now; caught me out once because the radio was louder than the motor... thankfully there was nothing in front of the car to hit. |

I have a friend that his C6 was doing the same thing and also would not unlock from time to time. I will give him a holler and see what he says for you.

There have been a few reported issues with the start button. What year is it?

2006. No tune, no engine mods, not even an airfilter. Just suspension & brake mods.
Really started happening after the cars last trip to the dealership. |

I have very little faith in the dealership these days, not to mention the price gouging on the parts. I'd prefer to walk in having some idea of what they should do or at least knowing whether this is a common problem they should know how to fix.

Had to replace the uprights because the LBJs had been run a little loose -- my bad when I installed the poly bushings and coilovers, I guess. But the wrench at the dealership tried to tell me it was so loose things had rubbed the rims... which was entirely false, the 11in wide front wheels rub the tie-rod at full lock.
It's all warranty all the time, including GMPP for this car. :-) |

This is getting worse. Went out yesterday morning to start the car after the night before having the "stop doesn't stop" issue and found the car with a dead battery. Looks like my only choice is to strand the car with the dealership for some period of time. *sigh*

Har har. Ok nevermind... |

Do you have your cell phone in your pocket with the fob? I have had weird issues whenever my cell is in the same pocket as my fob. Apparently, some cells can interfere with the signal of the fob. Just another idea.

Another good thought, but I actually carry the fob in my left pocket and phone in the right. Somebody elsewhere suggested my battery was having issues, which I couldn't really understand since hitting Stop means the alternator is running already for power, but I'm going to give it a shot. Since the battery had been drained twice there's a good chance it's junk anyway. I put a D34/78 Optima Yellow Top (in the '06) so we'll see if that makes all the issues go away...

Well, put a brand new Yellow Top in the car on a suggestion from a friend. Stop issues persists and the battery was down again today when I went out just now to go for a ride. I guess the car is going to the dealership...

I would like to know what they found. My wife drives the 08 most of the time and this is a concern for me, especially when she goes on those 2 hours drives to see the kids.

The found a failed Body Control Module (BCM) and replaced it under warranty. It was one of those "we can't reproduce it, come get the car" and when I showed up to get the car the battery was dead. Then they started digging. Finally somebody noticed the power to the mirror wasn't shutting off... they traced it back to a failed electronics module...

Thanks for the info. Its something for me to take note of. The battery went dead once last year for no reason (car was 2 weeks old at the time) but hasn't happened since.
