Consumer Description

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.
