You guys better watch it - or you're gonna find the secret button that makes it transform while you're inside!

I actually like that it doesn't shut off when the passenger door is open. it should be tied in with the driver's side.

Maybe its a warning cause it thinks you're about to rev-launch and it is reminding you the e-brake is on :p

If you're speedometer indicates you're moving when you're not... don't get out of the car and leave the keys in the ignition... a friend of mine did that. His car locked him out with the auto door locks (the car thought it was moving). He had to call On Star to unlock it.

and if OnStar isn't subscribed ........call a lock smith.

Completely normal.

I used to have a Cruze and I remember starting it one night and the speedo climbing in a parking lot. I didnt have my foot on the gas at all. I think mine was actually stuck at whatever speed it was showing, and I shut it off/restarted to get rid of it.

Hmmm, car not moving and thinking it's going 10mph.. that can add "mileage" to the car that it doesn't have. Kind of a big deal in my book...

That's just the "Retained Accessory Power", which has been on all GM cars for years. Radios, power ports, etc. have 10-15 minutes of power after you turn off the car. Cancelled when you open the drivers door.

So my question is, anyone else with a manual ever been sitting in neutral and give it some gas and watch your mph go up with out moving?

Yep...

Yep...

posted this video clip before...

I was told this happens when the car is parked on a flat surface and the speedo gear in the trans makes contact due to the vibration of the engine

after noticing a tenth of a mile change from when I parked the car, I got the camera and only revved it a bit past 2,000 rpms just to show the speedo move. It kinda pisses me off along with other glitches I can't replicate at the dealer like

the passenger side window being stuck down (happen once about a week ago)
heater blower not blowing hot air (happen once about 2 weeks after purchase)
iPhone disconnects or goes to static while in iPod mode (happens constantly since the OS 4.0+ updates)
