The dealership just called to see if there was a trick to starting the SS. Apparently now it won't start either. It goes from bad to worse.

If they're not sure how to start one of their own GM vehicles, I'd be worried. But that's just me and my paranoia.

They called to inquire if I had a kill switch. I suppose it could be the battery, but I had literally just dropped the car off. I'm thinking the factory security system is the culprit.

Well, It's at a dealership I trust, and only has 29,000 miles, so whatever it is should be covered.

The dealer called this afternoon to say that he needed the SS for at least one more day. They can't seem to find the cause, and now the battery is draining.
