The vehicle tries to start on its own. When you turn off the engine, many times the starter will try to start repidly on its own. With the key in the ignition but in the full off position. The starter kick in 1,2,3,4 times trying to start the engine. This will stop as soon as you remove the key. This is a safety issue as well as a defect. This could lead to damaging the starter and battery. This is definitely a safety issue. I could not find a recall for this issue. But I did find that this issue has accured to many chevy Cruze owners.
Whenever I leave the key in the ignition (usually do when it's parked in my garage) every now and then after parking the car, after a few minutes. The lights all come on as if someone is trying to start it. Sometimes it'll barely roll over. The starter starts to engage. It'll quit and then go into complete off mode. Sometimes it'll actually try to start but can't since the key is in the off position. It will continue to try to start repeatedly sometimes. I've been keeping an eye on it and now have to remove the key from the ignition every time I park the car. The service anti theft light came on the most recent time it had happened. But immediately went away after starting the vehicle and hasn't came back since.
I was driving on 65 s and I lost all power to my car, my car is having a hard time starting. Went to have my starter tested and wasnt that, it's my battery and the cables. Car is unsafe to be driving and all Cruze should have a recall on them. My battery light will come on then a message will pop us saying power steering.
There is a problem with how the car is communicating with the anti theft system, at least that's what I am suspecting. Randomly, when I try to start the car the dashboard lights come on, the radio, and everything else except the engine won't even crank. I've had the basics checked (battery, alternator, starter) and all is well. While it may not seem like a safety issue the car has left me stranded many times. This is an ongoing issue I don't know what to do about this.
