  15. Gen1 Powertrain
    Hi all. 2012 Eco that just passed 100k miles. On starting, immediately after the engine turns over (starts running), I have a second or so of metallic grinding/chatter. This has been going on for a little while, and is worse in the cold. Less of an issue after the car is warm, but still...

    2012 Cruze Eco I have had this car for 5+ years. I am one of those guys who listens to the starter motor humming and starts the car after the humming stops. Yesterday, I noticed that the humming does not stop. If I leave the key in position 2, the humming goes on until I turn the ignition to...
