While in my driveway, i went to turn ignition on, and car would not start. radio turned off. it was not until i floored the pedal that the gas and motor started. it happens off and on. also the key and ignition switch entry area are extremely hot. i am worried this is in fact one of the ignition problems that chevy did not list or is refusing to fix. please help,. it is not the battery. updated 12/8/2014 *js
