Subject: Starter Engaged After Engine Starts #PIP3550D
Models: 2005-2006 Buick Terraza
2004-2006 Chevrolet Malibu
2005-2006 Chevrolet Uplander
2005-2006 Pontiac G6, Montana SV6
2005-2006 Saturn Relay
with 3.5 LX9
Condition/Concern:
Some customers may comment that the starter motor stays engaged or doesn't release from the engine after the engine has started. Most comments received indicate that this condition only lasts a few seconds and usually occurs on a warm or hot engine restart after the engine has been turned off for a period of time. Dealer may have to drive the vehicle for a distance and then shut off for a short period of time to duplicate.
Recommendation/Instructions:
Engineering is currently developing a new service calibration for the PCM to correct this condition. At the present time the calibrations are expected to be available and a bulletin released in September, in the meantime do NOT replace the starter motor/solenoid, flexplate (flywheel) or other components in an attempt to correct this condition.
THIS INFO WAS GIVEN TO ME AFTER I COMPLAINED ABOUT THE OVER CRANKING. IS THIS BOGUS???
