The Chevy Cruze has a common issue with its ignition switch that customers have been experiencing. There was a GM recall related to this problem, which may also affect other GM models. Drivers have reported instances of warning lights flashing, engine stalling at idle, and difficulty starting the car when turning the ignition on. An error code P1682 typically appears when using an OBD scanner. The solution is relatively simple - removing and repairing the ignition to restore the connection. Worn contacts inside the ignition switch can lead to a temporary loss of voltage, causing the engine to stall. To prevent this problem, it's advised to use only one key on your key ring to avoid adding unnecessary weight that could accelerate the wearing of the ignition switch.
Certain issues with the ignition switch in a Chevy Cruze include a blown fuse, a damaged ignition relay or switch, and a malfunctioning wiring harness.
Yesterday evening, I attempted to drive away with my car partially off, and now it can play music and various functions but will not engage in drive mode. An error message displaying "power steering" and "battery saver" pops up.
