Sounds like you need a new battery. Have your battery load tested at your local auto parts store. Many newer vehicles will not start if the battery voltage falls below a certain point. This is because the computers MUST be kept powered up at ALL TIMES! So don't disconnect the battery without hooking up a memory saver device first!! If the computers lose power you'll need to be towed to your local Chevrolet Dealer to have the computers reprogrammed!! Hope that helps! Jim
