Default Engine keeps running?????

Hi All,
Has anyone experienced this?
I ran to the store and when I turned the key off it kept running. the lights and radio stayed on with the key out and the door closed. Once I got the enging to stop it was making a loud clicking sound from the fromt of the engine compartment and the dash lights were flickering.
when I restarted it and drove home the check engine light came on. THe car did the exact same thing when I got home and turned the key off. I had to disconnect the battery to make it stop.

Thanks

Actually I believe someone else on the forum did experience something similar to this... I beleive it was somewhere in the general discussion section.

Yep, and they seem to have come to something of a conclusion as to what the root cause was: problems with my '08 compass.

Perhaps that might shed some light on your situation, also, and at least arm you with something to take to the dealership and have them investigate.

Good luck!
