computer or electrical short
I have a 2009 Aveo and 2 times this year I have driven it to work and upon getting there when I go to turn off the ignition, I can take the key all the way out and the engine will continue running. I had to unplug the battery to shut off the car. Then jump it the next morning to get it going again. The 2nd time this happened I noticed the radio didn't come on, my clock was black and my window's won't go up or down. I took my car to the dealership but they couldn't tell me what the problem was unless they could duplicate it. The last time this happened was 2 weeks ago. When I went to get the oil changed a couple of days ago and they informed me my brake lights weren't work now. That night as I drove in I could see the brake lights indeed weren't working until I got to work. (about a 10 minute drive if that) I am taking my car back to the dealership to have the diagnostic test done. My question is does this sound more like an electrical short somewhere or could this be a computer problem. I was told by a mechanic that there are 2 parts of the computer warranty 1 that has 8 yrs/ 80,000 coverage and one that supposedly doesn't. My aveo is less than 8 yrs old and has 68,000 on it. So I am praying it's computer problems that are covered this close to christmas. Any suggestion or knowledge will help!
