I have had this same problem starting my car on several occasions. I will try to start my car and all the gauges will come on and the car will not start. If I wait a few minutes and try to start it again and give it some gas it will usually start. Whenever I take it to the dealership it never happens. The dealership always say they reset the gauges but it is never the starter. I had to replace the battery twice. The first one dealership replaced. I needed another one less than a year after they replaced the battery. Listen to what I was told...
The battery they replaced was still under warranty less than 36,000 miles or 3 years which ever one come first. .However, since I was pass the mileage on my car when I need the new battery they would not replace it again.
The second one I had to replace but purchased the battery from Sears. I bought a die hard gold but still experience this problem from time to time.

I had/have the same problem as the original poster. The car (about half of the time) sounds like it does not want to start, the starter will just make weird sounds and noises.. but it has always started even though it sounds like it wont... I have taken it into the dealership once for this problem, and of course it didn't do it at the dealership, but they told me it was a "software issue" so they did an update and it did fix the problem for about 6 months and now it is doing it again, but this time the warranty is up so i doubt I'll be taking it to get fixed again any time soon... I just hope it doesn't ever not start for me! It only seems to do this after driving around town all day, or after starting up the car several times in one day like when I run errands...

Half of the time my car starts without any problems. All the other times it acts as if it doesn't want to start. It makes all kinds of noise but eventually catches and starts. It has only not started once. I just gave it a moment and tried to restart it.

the problem is the pass key system it will not allow my car to start and i think this is a real problem that this happens to so many GM cars and they continue to charge for this type of repair My own opinion is this is some of the reasons why more people are starting to by different cars better warranty's means more money is my pocket
