  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

Anyone else have this happen?

Last night when we got to Green Tops I pushed the button to shut off the engine. We unbuckled the seat belts, opened the doors and had started to get out when the dash/instrument panel lights came on and the AC/fan came on. I looked at the tach and it was clear the engine wasn't running (my first thought was that I'd missed hitting the engine shut off button) but everything was powered up.

I pressed the engine start/stop button and the engine started up. I pressed it again and everything shut down. We sat there a minute or so to make sure it wouldn't power up again (and it didn't). We shut it off 3 more times last night and all those were normal shut downs.

Anyone else have this happen to them?
 
I haven't had that happen before.
 
hm, weird. I've never had that happen to me personally, but a buddy of mine had issues with his start button doing wonky things. he called the dealer and they suggested to hold the button down for 10-15 seconds each time.

hope you find out what's wrong and everything works out, man.
 
Something similar has happened to me a few times. In each occasion it was me forgetting to put the car in park before turning it off. My car has an automatic transmission. I have no experience with the stick shift models.
 
the brake pedal may not have been fully depressed
