the key might be at fault. Your car has what GM calls VATS. the chip in your key has a resistance that the car needs to see. my guess it that the key is dirty and needs to be cleaned with some alchol with a Q tip. If you have another key you might wnat to look into that

clean the key, put it in, then clean the key again, and repeat the process till the qtip is not showing any dirt.
