Has anyone experienced excessive cranking when attempting to start from a cold start? Has happened 2 times so far. It is as if the starter is not engaging. I have a Limited Awd.

Mine has done it once. I was too alarmed as my Corvette Z06 has done the same thing.

I would have the dealer take a look at it if the engine is turning over it could be a fuel problem

At this time seems hard to reproduce. If it becomes more consistent definitely will have them take a look.

Maybe a sticky relay or camshaft or crankshaft sensor or loose connector etc and yes it never does it when you want it to and it is possible it could leave a code for the dealer read.

This has happened twice in my first month of ownership. Unable to replicate. First time was maybe 3 secs cranking before full start, cold starting in the morning to head to work. Second time was about 5-6 seconds cranking, leaving the office around 6pm so not really a cold cold start. I live in Miami and the temps during the night are at high 60s and day temps at 80s. If it happens one more time I’ll take it in to check for any codes.

Was your foot off the gas pedal even slight press could cause a longer crank or no start.

My experience also during the first month. 2 times while inside starting. And once on a cold start from remote starting while approaching. So far I have not had an issue. ??

Same here.

yes, foot is off the gas. It’s on the brake most of the time unless I’m remote starting.

I had this happen 3 times, when I first bought my Limited AWD. I hadn’t had it happen for almost a month, so I thought maybe it was a new car thing. Lo and behold, yesterday it cranked endlessly, and never fired. I had my foot on the brake the entire time, and my feet were nowhere near the gas pedal. I ended up pushing the ignition button again to stop it. When I pushed the button a third time, it fired right up. Thinking maybe I should take it to the dealership, but I’m not sure if this would show up in the code history. I don’t feel like I could reproduce this on demand. Any thoughts?

 

[CVP33]

Ours hasn’t happened again since I posted my response.

I have been having the same issue. Engine cranks for 3-5 seconds before starting. Has happened 3 times in my first month of ownership. Each time, the outside temp was below 30. Wondering if anyone has tried bringing their vehicle into dealer?

 

[anthpalisade]

I might have noticed in the last 2.5 months a couple times when car seemed to crank for an extra second or so.
Separately, I do notice more frequently on cold days when the engine first starts up it idles higher for a little while.

Mine is doing the same thing, I have 1700 miles on it. I have a Sel with drivers guidance AWD

Yep- it’s probably once a week or every other week we’ll run into this with our SEL AWD with about 3800 miles. Getting a little concerned due to the frequency. The car is garage kept and seems to be fine in the garage but not so good if parked in colder weather (30-50 degrees F). Not sure if this is common for this power plant...

 

[YYCPalisade]

We have had this too. And now two times it has fired up but barely runs, sputters and feels like it is running on half the cylinders. Giving the a bit of gas fixes it.
No codes yet.
