Default Help ... 2004 shuts off - wont run

Has anyone ever had this problem. The car turns over but when you put it in gear it shuts off. Only 9,000 miles on car - we had it back to the dealer three times already. They installed a new column harness 3,000 miles ago and now its happening again (of course its out of warranty now). Any suggestions?

Diane, this sounds like the column lock issue, please reference the sticky in the tech section. If this is the issue the dealer fix is a waste of time and money, get an aftermarket column lock bypass and install it and your problems should be over.

Does the steering wheel turn after you start it? It's most likely the security system. Buy the CLB and REMOVE the Chevy Bypass.

NO steering lock on a 2004.

How new is the battery? Since it's a low mileage '04.
