I have had my GTO for alittle more than a month and the darn thing has been in the shop 5 times. First to fix the damaged rims and paint missing on the car when I bought it.
Second and third time it was in the shop they replaced the power steering pump and serpentine belt because they couldn't find anything wrong with the car the second time it was in.
The fourth time the replaced the ignition switch because the car wouldn't start and had to be towed. The car was in the accessory mode for about 15 minutes when I was listening to the radio and then all gauges started beeping at me. Now, the fifth time the car is in the shop because the car died again. But now the Shop Manager is trying to tell me it's the way the car was designed that when you shut off your car but leave your keys in the ignition they car is still fully powered and draining the battery in less than 1 hour.
He also told me that the BCM can not be reprogrammed so this will not be an issue when you leave the keys in the ignition. And he's hoping this will be fixed in the '07 models when they are built in the US. God you would think this would be an easy fix if other GTO owners are having the same problem I am.
So is there anybody else having this problem when you leave your keys in the ignition and your battery is draining to the point it can not be jumped in 15 - 45 minutes or are the blowing smoke because they can't fix the problem.
