Hey guys my 2007 hhr that has 185000 on her ,the problem is once in awhile i turn the key the dash lights come on and no start no clicking nothing ,and i would try again and it starts on a dime kind of weird.. the starter was replaced 4 years ago so kind of puzzle ,when it starts it is fast not slow... anyway i am going in for the recall to replace ignition module and key cylinder,hopefully that's the problem....

 

How old is the battery?

 

I agree check the battery and also check the battery cable connection at the under hood fuse box. Some time they loosen up and causes problems like that.

 

Well i will check that post and the battery was replaced 5 months ago ... the key cylinder seems a little sticky while turning it so im not sure.. the other day started on a dime no problem kind of weird....oh well

 

Maybe, that's what the recall is about?

 

Hello hurst2001,

Hopefully the replaced ignition switch will cure this problem. Please reach out to us with any update or feedback with the repair, and if your concern was repaired. Have a great day!

I know this was posted several years ago, but I seem to be having the same issue you were having. Curious how you solved it.

I just replaced the starter and battery. The car starts with no problem 9/10 times, but then the 10th time it doesn’t turn over. I did take the car in when the safety recall came out for these ignitions and the dealership replaced it then.
