Chevrolet Cruze ignition issue preventing engine from turning over with both keys on Chevrolet Cruze

Problem overview

Some Chevrolet Cruze owners report experiencing ignition issues that prevent the engine from turning over with both keys. A common cause for this problem is a binding steering column or lock, which can hinder the ignition's functionality. Additionally, ignition switch problems may lead to intermittent electronic failures or a no crank condition. In cases where the engine does not crank at all, owners may face starter engagement issues, potentially linked to battery cables or a faulty starter motor. Other factors, such as defective ignition components or fuel system problems—including issues with the fuel pump, fuel injectors, or clogged fuel filters—can also impede the engine from starting. It is crucial for owners to address these potential causes systematically and seek professional mechanic assistance if the problem persists.
