FIXITMAN :

Hello, and thank you for letting us help you with your automotive question.There are several common issues with this vehicle that causes this. The common points are the ignition switch and the body control module. The switch connections fail internally and the body control module is a computer that controls these electric systems and is prone to fail internally. You would need to use a voltage meter on the ignition switch to see if it is failing. If it tests fine then the module would need to be replaced with a new programmed unit from the dealer. Do you plan on fixing this yourself?
