2014 LS randomly shut off
Hi everyone, been away for a bit, today I was driving into work, and my car just shut off on a turn into a parking lot. Now I know the first instinct would be the key recall, but I'm too short for that to be even a possibility, and 100% sure I didn't touch it. I recently relocated to North Texas were temperatures are in 30s in the morning, from Florida where the coldest it got was about 60s. So could it be something with the temperature? Do I have to add anything to my car that will cause it to not randomly shut off? Has anybody else had this happen to them? This happened in a parking lot, where the damage would have been minimal but I don't want this to happen to me when I'm on the highway and can't steer my car.

Make a visit to your local dealer and explain it to them !

I bought my car in Florida over five years ago and there are lots of every version of Camaro here. Pretty sure that's not it.
Is the key still in the run position when you go to restart it?

I don't mean to sound condescending, but the 1LS is a manual transmission. Are you sure you weren't it too high a gear when making the turn? Maybe you were in 4th instead of 2nd?

The temperature shouldn't have an affect. These things will start and run in extreme temps, high or low, as most any car with EFI or direct injection will do these days. REMEMBER If the car shuts off at high speed, leave the key in the "run" position and shift to neutral. Steering and braking are still possible, but there will be no power assist. The steering wheel might feel heavy to turn and the brakes hard to press, but they will still work. Do NOT turn the key to "off" "acc" or any lock position. If you experience sudden acceleration instead, or the accelerator gets stuck to the floor, shift to neutral. Experienced users can cut power to the engine, place the key back in "run" and steer/brake to a stop. |

I've had this happen to me before I'll be in second gear pulling into a spot and my car just shuts off. If it stalled u should feel it shake a little. But it just turns off for me... Weird
