Since purchase as used, slow start speed with the engine almost cutting out. Radio flickering on and off. Engine cutting out when idling. Engine light for mass air flow (maf) sensor replacement. Replaced maf sensor and problem remains. Engine fan staying on long after engine has shut off and cooled. Service lights coming of for stabilitrack and other random issues. Front cigarette lighter won't charge devices. Tire air pressure sensors backwards on display, I.e. display right front tire is actually left front tire pressure.

My trunk opened at random when I was headed to work. This occurred many times when I was driving and as well as when the car was parked and locked. It could have caused an accident due to a distraction and having to pull over, items falling out in front of vehicle following, and also could have had items stolen. Since the middle of summer, it has stopped that issue but, the trunk will not open with the button on the rear of the trunk. The only way it open is with the key fob. This is very inconvenient and has happened to many others. I have stopped at a few Chevrolet dealers asking for them to fix this before my warranty expired but they would not cover it.

Anti theft system killed engine on car would not start, radio flickered on and off lost sound and display have had issue with radio many times since put display on voltage and noticed it showed 12.8 to 15.9 volts when this occurred. Definite issue some where and noticed the last time this occurred steering got tight. This needs to be researched and a fix provided. Dealer can not duplicate when there also have had car lock itself.

Radio turns on and off repeatedly including the upper display, the smaller display flickers and will show a service stabilitrak notice. Several warning lights on the dash also light up: Brake, stabilitrak, and ABS. No GM bulletins nor a recall for this problem and dealership cannot fix problem after several visits.

2012 Chevy Cruze with less than 25,000 miles on it. While driving, the traction control light will come on the dic and then service stabilitrack and the car would die down for a brief second and the radio will cut off. I made an appointment to a dealer and they said to drive with the traction control off until it gets in. Now it is doing the same thing with the traction control off. It is also doing this in reverse! this car is still under warranty with GM, but I'm afraid that I will have the same luck as others on here who are experiencing the same problems and nothing will get fixed. I'm also afraid that this will occur at an even greater rate and longer while driving causing an accident! something needs to be done to fix this problem in this model!

Service engine light came on at about 29,000 miles, so I took it to the dealership. After diagnostic it was determined that the thermostat had gone bad, so they replaced the thermostat and the holding mount. Then Saturday on the way to work the service engine light came back on. I stopped for gas then the car would not restart. I had to have the car towed back to the dealership. It was determined that the cam shaft sensor also went bad. The car also hesitates when shifting gears in low speeds.

I bought this car for my daughter, the second or third week after she got it she started to notice the radio flickering on and off while driving for no reason, which eventually led to the radio flickering continuously after using blinkers &windows. "service stabilitrak" flashes on the display often but very quickly and goes off. Doesn't occur every time I drive, but it does it more times than not. Now the radio will flicker and I will occasionally lose cruise control and power steering. I also have no blinkers/radio when this happens. It usually only happens briefly and will return to normal soon after, but it continues to do it off and on until I park. I have also noticed this occurring when I shift gears to park. Most recently I went to start my car and it just clicked and wouldn't start. I got it to start and it said "service anti theft deterrent, " then changed to "service power steering" just as I lost power steering while driving. "service stabilitrak quickly flashed next all while I lost blinkers, power steering, and radio. I parked, turned my car off and restarted it and it was just fine. It has been to the Chevy dealer once but they could not get a code to read because they can't get the radio to flicker, etc because it only happens every so often but when it does happen it is scary! so there is nothing they can do to fix it. Please look into it as I do not feel it is safe for her to drive. This has been going on for 3 months now and I do not feel like this car is reliable which is the reason I bought it! there has to be something that can be done as I have read several complaints that are extremely similar to mine! I also have come to the conclusion that the problems are going to continue to worsen after reading the other complaints.it is a major problem. Please don't wait until something tragic happens before something is done about this! please!

The radio would go off, as well as the dash lights and a wrench would appear but no engine code would appear. This would occur several more times then the entire car would stall out, or turn its self off basically. The key remains stuck in the ignition unable to turn the car on or remove it. All power is lost. I have taken it to my Chevrolet dealership many times but there is nothing that they can do because it does not act up for them. What can I do?

I purchased my 2012 Chevy Cruze back in August 2012 at the Chevy dealer in montebello with "0" miles. Two weeks after I purchased the car it began to give me problems. It began to make this very loud noise like if I was driving a trailer. I took it to the dealer an I was told it was normal which is bs because I've never heard a small car that makes noise like that. I wasn't allowed to get refunded I was just given a bunch of bs. A month later it kept doing the same thing but this time the noise was coming from the hood, took it to the dealer and nothing. 3rd time I filed a complaint and said I was going to file a lawsuit and the took my car in an apparently they had to change my radiator, fan, brakes along with the disk. Even after all this my car continued doing the same thing but now it turns off!! I tried to turn on my car this Saturday and it just wouldn't start. It said something about theft, I disconnected the battery and then it gave a message about check power steering! this will be my 5th time taking it in! I think I have gotten ripped off!! I regret purchasing this vehicle!! now im stuck with a jacked up car and a very high car payment that is not even worth paying for. And to top it off the dealer I purchased it from is no help!! they seem to get upset every time you take the car and tell them there is something wrong with it. Im a mother of 3 and my biggest fear is something happening to my children because of this. I purchase this car because I needed something reliable since im always on the road. One thing for sure, if any of my children get hurt because of this I will file a lawsuit because you guys are receiving many complaints and you are not doing anything about it.!!

First the car would not start. After multiple attempts it did start and service anti theft system flashed. Shortly after, while stopped, all of the dash lights began flickering on and off causing multiple service codes to flash. Then while driving the power steering would stop working at random times.

When putting the 2012 Cruze in reverse the brakes would fail temporarily forcing me to push the car into park. A week later the radio start to turn on and off. At this point in time Aug 7 2014 only the brakes have been fixed.

The contact owns a 2012 Chevrolet Cruze. The contact stated that the vehicle hesitated and stalled while driving various speeds. While driving on an incline, the contact had to keep the clutch pedal depressed in first and second gear to prevent the vehicle from stalling. The accelerator pedal also had to remain depressed to maintain acceleration. The vehicle also stalled when the gear was in reverse. The vehicle was taken to the dealer more than once, but the failure could not be duplicated. In addition, the air conditioning and heat were inoperable. The vehicle was not repaired and the manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 100.

Besides the transmission complaint I have already made, I am also experiencing constant electrical issues. An update was already ran on the car's computer for this complaint and the ignition switch was lubricated (hopefully that will prevent the steering lock up that others experience). Neither GM solution has provided an end to my trouble. Dinging when keys aren't in, car won't always start, service this or that dash lights, radio display goes on and off, I can't open my trunk without the push button key fob, the steering is now pulling, and also the headlights are now turning off and on without my hand. There is something wrong with the electrical components of my car, things I should never have to concern myself with...which could lead to any malfunction but the Chevrolet techs can not diagnose what they see with their own eyes because the computer of the car doesn't tell them anything is wrong. Aren't there alternate troubleshooting methods included with the blueprint they designed besides relying on a possibly third-party control module that isn't logging errors? I just hope I'm ready for whatever happens and that I can control a loss of power without suffering injury to myself or others. Scary things to think about on a 100 mile one way, highway speed commute. All of these cars should be overhauled or replaced instead of waiting to see which one's computer from which line crashes first before we put out a recall. These are real safety concerns that are killing people. Concerns that I can't just trade off to another blind consumer and their family. Concerns that either consumer or manufacturer have to pay for. We pay with our safety and hard earned dollar to own their vehicles that they make and don't take responsibility in maintaining a standard for.

Car radio kept cutting on and off multiple times before all of the car lights flashed on the dashboard and steering wheel became stiff. I pulled over on the side of the road, cut the car off and pulled out the key. I put the key back in the ignition and tried to start the car and it wouldn't start. The lights and radio didn't even come on. I couldn't put the key back in the off switch nor could I pull the key out. After about a minute or so my radio came on and I was finally able to start my car.

Stopped car tried to back up and it did not, then tried to turn off vehicle and the key would not go into the turn off mode. Could not turn the steering wheel, could not release the key, could not turn off the engine. The radio kept turning itself on. Waited 2 hours for triple a to come to tow the car to dealership. Engine ran for two hours. Tow arrived the driver said he had to force the gear shift several times in order to release the steering wheel and key and to turn off the engine so he could tow it. Also noticed an anti-freeze leak and this is being fixed under the power train warranty, do not know if is connected to the same issue. Dealer can't find anything wrong and I am afraid to drive this car.

2012 Chevy Cruze, 30,000 miles, bought from GM certified dealer 3 weeks ago. While driving, dashboard flickers on and off. Stabilitrak, radio, airbags, etc all flicker while driving or completely shut down. 4X last week vehicle lost all power and would not restart until nudged the battery. 15 July 2014, took to dealership, battery replaced and cables cleaned of corrosion. Vehicle starts now, but flickering continued today. Assume problem will persist and worsen due to previous complaints. Bought vehicle for reliability, see now that Chevrolet cannot provide that, nor the appropriate response of recalling this vehicle's malfunction. Not only nervous due to unreliability of vehicle and safety, but also disappointed in Chevrolet.

On the first occurrence the lights on the radio display began to flicker and then all electrical power to the dashboard. The electrical came back on and the dash display depicted the warning message check stabilitrak. I took it to the dealership where I purchased the car and they said that high voltage codes C0800, 07 and high voltage history showed up on the scope and there were no issues. The second time the lights on the radio display began to flicker and then all electrical power to the dashboard, airbags and the electrically assisted power steering went out, while on a very steep mountain road and I had no control over the vehicle. The electrical came back on and the dash display depicted the warning message check stabilitrak. I took it to a different dealership and the dash flickering occurred with the service person in the car driving but nothing showed up when the mechanic was trying to fix it so they said there was nothing they could do. Two days later while my daughter was driving she lost power steering and the same issues with the dash and was involved in an accident, thank god her baby was not in the car. Please help!....updated 07/31/14

While driving, my car dash board and radio flicker and I lost total power/lights for about 15-20 seconds. Panic, as I think the car has stalled in traffic. Radio and dash lights came back on but I received an error message "service brakes on" or something similar (as it only displays for a few seconds). This is the 5th time I have experienced this problem. I have taken it in for service 3 times. 1st service call no error could be detected. The 2nd service call I was told my radio was defective, and a new one was ordered and installed. 3rd service, my car has been there for 2 days, and I am being told a technician is working on it. I am worried this car will stall on me and place me in a very dangerous situation due to not having power control due to this intermittent flicker...updated 08/11/14
