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'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.

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

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!

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

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

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

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!!!

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

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

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

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

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

Thanks , can’t figure it out without this video

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

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.

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

Thank you as I may need this in the future.

Thx bro 5am dealing wit this god bless u😂

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.

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

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

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

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

This actually work for my car thanks.

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

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 ❤

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.

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?

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

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

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.

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

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

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

I got a new key cut and programmed and worked.

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

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

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?

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.

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

Sends back to the customer, issue fixed 👌🏼

Thank you this really works just did it

Bro thank you Good tips

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?

I Wished I Seen This Video Before Buying Another Battery

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

Will like to know what's causing it

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

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

This worked! Thank you so much

THANK YOU!

My camaro is doing this and it won’t start replaced the battery drove for a little then stopped working

It really did work!! Thank you!!!

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

Mannnn it worked 1000 thanksssss❤❤

It worked, thank you!

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

Would be nice to hear an explanation.

I just bought a ltz cruze yesterday😳 yall are scaring me😭😭😭

Thank you so much!

This Chevy Cruz owner is helpful

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

Thanks bro.

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

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.

God bless yoi bro thank you

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😂

I fucking love you man

F16D3 engine chev Cruz 1,6 how to change throttle position sensor?

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

That means the vehicle is in theft mode

It can be u heavy keys too i herd

I have the same error. it is a chevrolet orlando (2014) car. what do i need to do to make this work? Pls help

Question does your 2012 Chevrolet Cruze have a DCT?

Does 2012 Chevy Cruze have the charging car in winter plug

great info

Wish i kn this while i had 2001 impala

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?

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.

Please help mine is doing the same after my husband changed the water outlet an removed the battery now its doing the same as in video wont start

They stole the ignition and key setup from the VW Jetta MK4 LOL I noticed that some time ago that the Cruze got the same ignition and key fob set up as the MK4 Jetta has and they can be fussy LOL

Hey why does this happen? This solved my problem

And if i dont have the key but just a button? How do I start the car? Please help me now

Blew the engine on mine yesterday but don't have money for a new car so I'm going to get a Mitsubishi Evo lancer engine and swap it

Security chip in the key no registering to the computer?

That’s why u don’t get chevys they brake down to much

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

Thank youuu

It did work thx man

Damn electric clutches. Good luck when battery dies.

I tired that and it’s not working. It’s raining a lot here and my car is doing the same thing in the video

And what do you do if your car uses a start button?

Reasons for this: 1 - Damaged starter motor 2 - Drained/Damaged battery 3 - Damaged electricity

What issues is everyone having?

Plz someone direct me . My cruze 2011 run out of gas bt after refueling canot startup engine.

You who how to check usb? to see if it still works or not im having problems with it, I use to connect my iPhone to hear music now it won't play it
