Welcome to the forum. What you are saying is the car shuts off outside the defined "Start stop" normal operation?
Seems like the start-stop functionality to me too.So I have been having this problem with my new 2016 cruze ls where it likes to just shut off the engine completely after I had let off the brake. That had happened twice and now it seems to just want to shut off the engine but stay running after a few seconds. It only seems to only do it when it is over 100 degree's here in Arizona and A/C on. I have taken it in already and they said there is nothing wrong. So I really have no idea on what to do besides take it in until it happens to them but I don't feel like filling up the tank each time for them to drive it around. Any ideas how to get fixed or what the problem is? thanks
Hello Emwest,Hi,
I know this post is a little old but did you have any luck figuring out why your car was stalling? I have a 2016 cruze and it started stalling out back in October. I tried numerous times to get help from my dealer but since the tech couldn't duplicate the issue I'm crazy and nothing is wrong with my car. I was lucky that it hadn't done it for a few months but this morning on my ride to work it stalled out again. I live in Western NY and the weather is not always the best to drive in. I'm just trying to figure out what is wrong with my car so I can get it fixed.
Thanks for any help you are able to give me.

EVAP Purge valve ever been replaced?,
I have the same problem, 2011 LT cruze, randomly stalls at redlight, 130K miles same valve cover, same intake, brand new AC plugs still randomly does it. Runs awesome 95 percent of time. I am only worried when my 82 year old sister drives my car, she experienced it one time and freaked out in traffic.....PLEASE ANYONE !
Sounds like you should have the transmission fluid level checked before actual damage is done. None of that is "normal behavior".My '17 hasn't stalled yet (31k miles), but it does shutter slightly from a stop through 1st and then rough shifts from 1-2 and 2-3. Its been doing that since I bought it. at 13k miles it popped out of gear into neutral while merging onto the highway during a road trip and on way back from same road trip I got on it to pass a truck and it downshifted too far and lurched back and engine redlined. Like going from 5th to 2nd at highway speeds. Let off throttle it was fine and hasnt done it since. Other than those anomalies (and constant rough 1-2 and 2-3 shifts) haven't had a single issue.
