Service Bulletins for No Start
I read somewhere that Chevrolet issued a Service Bulletin about some C6 Corvettes not starting due to a faulty electronic component internally located near the radio. When I get into the car, the key FOB is recognized and the Start Button shows green but when it is pushed with my foot on the brake and the car in park, nothing happens. After a few minutes of opening the door then locking and unlocking it with the key FOB, the car starts. Does anyone know of this Service Bulletin and, if so, what exactly does it say? I have a 2011 C6 GS with about 46k miles on it. Other SB's indicated Chevrolet will fix some of the problems on these SB's on cars with less than 120K miles and within 10 years of first operation. My car is in the almost 10 years category so I would like to have this fixed if at all possible under this "warranty". Please advise

Attached are (3) GM documents related to an intermittent no start condition.
NONE of them mention a special policy where GM would extend warranty repairs past normal coverages, but it may give you clues in what is needed to correct your concern.
Best of luck in getting it resolved.

Thank you very much for this information. The 3rd pdf fit the description I saw earlier but in a different format. It also clears up the warranty mis-conception on my part. The other pdf's also show that if you keep your cell phone or other wireless item near the key FOB this kind of issue could result. Again, thank you for this infomration.
