  • car won't turn off

    i have an 06 gtp 6-speed manual. When i go to turn off the car and take the key out it does not turn off, it keeps running for like 10-20 seconds. I can even drive it without the key. It has been in the shop 2 time in the past 2 months for this same problem and today makes 3 times. I just got the car back for the same reason on tuesday. This completely sucks the car only has 4300 miles on it. Does anyone have any ideas on what it could be. They already replaced the ECU, and some 11 pin wiring harness, and now they think it is the ignition switch. I think they don't know what it is.

      maybe its a cool-down feature. I know for a fact that if you turbo a car you have to put in a turbo timer. Which allows the car to keep running even after you turn it off. it keeps the engine running to move the hot oil out of the turbo. So maybe your car is doing that, trying to cool your oil....? I would look through the manual

          That's not normal at all. Also, you shouldn't be able to shift your car without the key in the ignition which seems wierd that you can drive it without the key....unless you mean you can just drive in reverse without it?

              i have only tried driving it in reverse. I did take it to the dealership. Today i gave it to them and it is the third time it happened so on monday i am going to call a lemon law lawyer about the law and to see what i have to do now. It drives in reverse for about 10-20 seconds then the engine shuts off. the only other way to turn it ioff is to stall it out. so hopefully they find out what is really wrong with it. But if i lemon law it i think i am going to get my money back and buy a new camero when they come out or buy something else really nice, but not really sure yet. i will have to see what happens first.

                If it is that repeatable it should be pretty easy to diagnose. Sorry to hear the dealer wasn't able to find what was causing it. At this point you likely aren't interested in actually trying to find issue but I might have a few things for you to try to isolate it.

                          well i got my car back today. they replaced the ignition switch and the fuse box in the engine. so far so good. but then again when they put my car on the lift they broke my ground effects. i have the Razzi body kit on my car which they put on before i even looked at the car or bought it. so now they have ordered me ne ground effects and are going to put them on within the next week or two. but for now i have to wait and see if the engine problems come back or not.

                              Then they go and bust the body kit. This reminds me of Ron White's bit about missing Lug Nut Day in mechanic's school.
