You need to be towed to your local Chevrolet Dealer for repairs. On many newer vehicles the computers must be powered up at all times, even when you're replacing the battery. Otherwise the computers need to be flashed (reprogrammed) for the vehicle to start and run again. Memory saver devices are sold for this purpose. Hope that helps! Jim
