Chevy Cruze won't start (try this) 

Coming from a current chevy cruze owner with 6grand in repairs so far..My solution: burn the car or crash it into a pole

you have no idea how much of a tremendous help this was! my car had been working perfectly fine, but i woke up this morning and it simply wouldn’t crank. here I was, terrified i was going to have to get it towed or buy some expensive part for it and then i tried your little trick and BOOM smooth as butter! thank you so so VERY much!!!

You're using a security override mode. Just open and close the driver door, lock then unlock the car with the key fob, and open and close the driver door again. Basically, simulate getting out the car and locking and unlocking the car and getting back in. The cause of this is the security system has an auto lock mode (programmable via the radio) and thinks you're trying ti steal the car.

If anyone is wonder. It the ignition cylinder that is the problem. Speaking from experience. The key is pushing back to the ignition switch starting the battery power things, but the the thing you put your key into to turn is broken. So the engine will only start at certain angles. And eventually not at all

I have a Chevy Trax and it worked! Took me about 8 tries. I opened my car door once in between those tries. Thank you!! Theft sensor came on because I'm using a Copy and not the original key

Omg, thank you! Brother changed water outlet bc it was cracked and car wouldn't start, was making a weird sound not like trying to start, but wouldn't even turn over.. I did this and IT STARTED!! I've got a 2012 chevy cruze eco.. thanks for this video!!!

Thank you sir! My daughter's friend drove her car to the mall and we had this problem. It's raining cats and dogs and I couldn't get it to start. I grabbed my phone came here and saw this video. I did exactly what you did and it worked! ONCE AGAIN! THANK YOU

It’s the fuses that come out a little. Hit the starter relay and relay fuse with something solid to get it snuggled in good. Never had the problem again after

That works like a charm! The key part is broken from my fob, and this security mode triggered - you’re a lifesaver!

Thanks bro it’s nice to see a good human that likes his Cruze for a change ❤😆

I’m having this problem right now. I’m glad I saw this video

Omg, I met the same issue today, it was around 4pm. So I called my mate to drive me home and left the car over there. Then I called my boss and told him I cannot go to work tomorrow as I need to fix the car. Damn!

Thank you bro! Was stuck at work in 10 degree weather. Big ups!

Just got one of these last week and it has the same issue but doing what you said to do here actually works I just wish I knew how to fully prevent it

Period omg this just saved me and kids fucking life I love you sooo much god loves me so much ohhhhhhh my god y’all this really works I’m from Baltimore and just it’s hard out here I have four and thought I needed a new starter omg thank you so much man ❤

Tht just worked for me!!!!🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤ thank youuuuu!!!

Thank you… had this problem today and this definitely worked 🙌🏽🙌🏽

Thanks so much!!!!! This worked! I literally tried everything the people are talking about in the comments. Tonight me and my kids were stranded in the Louisiana state park bc my key fob is missing it’s buttons and my son accidentally spilled water into the fob. It caused this service theft light to show up. We sat there for hours. I tried disconnecting both batter connectors for 20 minutes. Nothing. I tried the lock the hit unlock so many times and nothing. I tried the let it sit until the light goes off then turn it off for 5 seconds then repeat but nothing. This video saved me though. I tried this and the horn started blaring then all of a sudden it started.

You’re awesome. I tried that and I’ve been trying all day to start my car that shit works.

Better advice, don't buy a Cruze or a Chevy at all...problems for life solved

I have a 2010 Chevy impala that dose this often to and your video helped me so much thank you but do you have any ideas on what it could be that causes the car to do this?

This actually work for my car thanks.

Thankyou so much this literally worked for me!!!!!

Thanks , can’t figure it out without this video

Been stuck for 20 mins........ Thabk you

Thx bro 5am dealing wit this god bless u😂

Yo! Talk about informative! Thanx Bro👍

Thank you as I may need this in the future.

That's man you save me cause I was going to drive out and it worked like you said thank you a lot

Scotty Kilmer, has told us not to buy this cars!!! Listing people 🥱

I just fixed this problem my automatic transmission shift cable came off because the bushing was corroded and the cable came off. Please check if you're Cable came off then re attach it. Lol that was my issue i felt stupid when the tow truck guy saw it and helped me out 😅

Dude, just saved my ass. I've been turning steering wheel back and forth to get it to catch. That wasnt working tonight. Whew. I guess it's the ignition switch, right? For the record, 2002 tundra

I had the anti theft problem. I changed the cr2032 battery in the key fob. Crank right up

Thank you this really works just did it

This worked! Thank you so much

Hey you guys I have a quick fix to get you back on the road! I've tried this twice and it worked! (My key fob is broken) it's risky but try having someone give you a jump lol I know the car heads are like alternator and electric computer whatever but hey it saves the day. It didn't work at first but leave it connected for a new seconds and have them reve the engine

It really did work!! Thank you!!!

Take the key out, open ur door and close it again and try turning on. It will work

Why is this such a common issue? Thanks for the tip...it worked!

I kept checking it and found out That It was the key remote that the battery was low So I changed it and boom turned on in one try

God bless yo fucking soul brother got a subscriber 3 years later

Hi guys last year I got the same problems, I solved with replacement of the ECM, because after scanned the ECM modules was not able to communicate to others Modules.

This is an immobilizer issue, simulate locking the car with fob, wait a few seconds,unlock it and start. This usually happens when you lock the car with a fob and open it with a key.

Thank you for this video my chevy cruze had the same problem i tried this and it worked on the first try

Sends back to the customer, issue fixed 👌🏼

Big thanks God for letting me to you ma g 🙏🏾🙌🏽

I have a 2011 Chevy Cruze Lt Turbo and it's the worst vehicle I have ever owned. Only 2 years old when I purchased it back in 2013. I have always had scheduled maintenance done on it without fail and it is now currently sitting for three days now, won't start. Started having problems with it after I had it for only 3 months. Has completely turned me against Chevrolet. I will never own another Chevrolet product.

Mannnn it worked 1000 thanksssss❤❤

My car right now stranded at the church I'm going to try this thanks

its problem of solenoid switch of starter.. i having same issue.. just knock on starter with long screw driver..

Goooood job❤ thanksss

Ok, I had been dealing with this problem for a while, and I cant figure out why it's doing that. Do you have any idea of why its causing to delay by starting the car?

Bro thank you Good tips

It did work thx man

This has on my 2012 Chevy Cruze ls. I jiggle the gear shift, pulled out key and off to the races

Thanks a lot!

I got a new key cut and programmed and worked.

This Chevy Cruz owner is helpful

When mine does that I just make sure the car is in park. Put the button down and push it up normally that makes it work for soem reason

Same problem I faced two days ago.. Mechanic told me it was carbon related problem..

It’s the chip key reader I had the same problem I just used the spare 😅

THANK YOU!!!!!!!

Is your car door open or closed?

i’m having a similar issue but mine is when i’m ready to turn my car off the key doesn’t turn all the way and won’t come out and i have to use a screwdriver to insert at the bottom on the key where a hole is to be able to turn my car completely off and get the key out😂

It worked, thank you!

I Wished I Seen This Video Before Buying Another Battery

The fuses under the hood come out a little every time I start my car. I had this problem and checked the fuses then noticed they was coming out I pushed like 10 of them in all the way and it started. Then noticed they come a little lose every time I start the car.

I have this problem with my Chevy i wanna try this now, i thought its my engine starter, i wanna try this today

I used mine last Tuesday and tried to crank it with the same key today it wouldn't start after 3 tries,the anti-theft light displays. The battery of my remote is new, maybe i just need to remove and place the batter again. any suggestions?

It’s because the hoods open it’s a safety feature

The anti-theft system is activated you have to close the car and then put the key to start it but let it load until the sound is removed and start

Question does your 2012 Chevrolet Cruze have a DCT?

Just replace the starter problem solved I get at least one or two at my shop every month ..

chevy cruize was one of the best cars in india as there is no company that give a 2.0l for 13lakh ex showroom

Thank you so much!

I fucking love you man

Does 2012 Chevy Cruze have the charging car in winter plug

Fuck! I wish I saw this before getting a new terminal/fuse block installed

It's 💯 the battery replace a new battery

Im having the same issue On diagnostics it gives key not programmed.. I have read PIN ON BCM and have deleted all keys and added new as "successfully" but still same issue I have changed battery on keyfob, same problem Just starts sometime when i try many times and dies immediately... Any solution?????

Do not constantly flip the key back and forth like that this will burn out your starter. Instead wait atleast 15 seconds before you try to crank it again.

once you get them running right thay run great parts arnt too expensive an alot of room in the engine bay opposed to most cars.

It’s crazy too, same exact shit no , check engine light no nothing . And it’s pissing me off because I work a lot, and it could be a battery problem in the key?

Change the ground wire that goes from the metal to the engineering

Check your exhaust cam sensor common problem with Cruze and Sonic. When you tried to start and it does what yours is doing the CMP is thinking the car is already running that's why it does that

Can you do that when your fob gets wet and you can’t unlock the doors with the Auto Unlock?

did you try just turning electric on and letting it sit for 5 seconds, then starting

“Started right up” Did we watch the same video?

What is your car model brother

My solution: buy a Honda or Toyota. Even Subaru.

Will like to know what's causing it

What issues is everyone having?

Thank u I love u

Would be nice to hear an explanation.

Thanks I was working on my car when she locked up I nearly lost It because I couldn't check the new part I installed

My cruze 2013, goes off when driving,any help? mechanic has been avle to fix even after changing fuel pump

One solution: don’t buy a GM in the first place

Damn electric clutches. Good luck when battery dies.

God bless yoi bro thank you

Has pensado llevarlo al taller?
