I was returning from the Airport this morning after having driven the car for about 30 minutes when it just stalled. I re-started it and the car drove a couple of feet and stopped (engine died). Subsequently, when I tried to re-start the car, it would start but engine would die without the car moving. Cranking sounds could be heard although I was not cranking the engine. A code showed up on the dash saying “A/V OFF” but this came only once. Subsequently nothing.

When you turn the ignition key to start the engine, the starter motor will continue to crank until it starts, even if you release it, so this could be the reason fro the cranking noise.
