While driving multiple times the "service power steering" message appeared on the dash. The steering wheel became tight and as I turned the car jerked outward almost causing me to hit other vehicle. Also the message "open, then close driver window" appears frequently. The radio and speedometer flickers on and off at times. I believe that there is an electrical issue but the the specific area is unknown. Another incident occurred that caused the car not to start on 7/172017
The battery began intermittently dying after recall service. Car was taken back in & I was advised that the battery required replacement. It's 3 years old...
My wife had come back from a dr. Appt. Approx. 52 miles away from her place of employment on Monday 5/15/17 at approx. 1:15pm. As she approached her employment, she made a left turn on a side street that separates two auto dealerships, where employees park on the side of the street. She noticed an empty parking spot on the opposite side of the street and decided to make a U-turn to park there. As she slowed down to attempt the U-turn, she made a slight left to begin the U-turn and at that moment all the vehicle's warning lights on the dash lit up, the message center screen located at the center of the cluster on the dash read "stabilink system disabled" and had lost all power steering. Upon losing steering, the steering wheel snapped back and broke her wrist in two places. The loss of steering resulted in our vehicle slightly impacting the vehicle parked to her immediate right. I (her husband) arrived literally minutes after the loss occurred, triaged her arm and needed to move the vehicle out of the street. Upon entering the vehicle, it was still running and had noticed all the dash and vehicle warning lights on, including the "stabilink disabled" message on the dash. As I began to drive it approx. 20 yards to an empty parking space, the vehicle had no power steering yet it was running. Approx. 9 hours later, I had gone back to the vehicle to attempt to drive it to a local body shop to store it and upon starting the vehicle, all systems were running again, no warning lights were present on the dash and the power steering had been restored. I attempted to find any indication of a problem thru the message center without success. I filed an insurance claim on approx. 5/19, had the vehicle preserved for evidence and is now currently stored and not moved at the body shop. As of 6/15, injury sciences llc is scheduled to plug into the ECU or data event recorder.
While driving on the highway, all the power went off and the steering seized for a short period and then came back on and reset itself. This happened twice within 30 minutes. This also occurred when backing out of a driveway where all power was lost and the steering wheel seized until it came back on and reset itself. This is a very serious safety issue where lives are at stake and find it appauling that GM has not issued a recall for this problem but rather issuing a service bulletin? these complaints are all over the internet... obviously this is a critical issue for many consumers.
The electrical screen portion of the car randomly shuts off and blinks back on. For example, when I'm utilizing the screen gps. The entire screen will turn off with no warning. It appears to reset itself. As the screen turns back on with the "Chevy" home screen. It happens both when the vehicle is stationary (ie. Just turned on, ) as well as when I am in motion. This issue has been happening for over a year, but has recently become more frequent- happening at least once a week.

Yabba dabba doo is what you'll be saying after you attempt to flintstone this hunk of junk from GM. Such a waste of metal. I'd love to see someone from corporate attempt to take their family who is recently paralyzed & a 13 yr old whose had 4 open heart surgeries try to pedal off the freeway bc it shut off & on while overheating & trying to pry the key out the ignitiin. I've towed it to and from the dealership to spend money I practically counted in change because I lost my job due to no dependable ride. Still paying notes on a car & mechanic fees has truly shown me how selfish & greedy some can be. I'm passed to the next person who keeps me on hold to inform me of how truly sorry they are that they can't help. Apparently GM feels it's safe so how about come save me from this headache, I'll gladly let you test drive. My favorite song is "every light in the car is in"
The car turns off while I am driving, no matter where I have had it turn off on the expressway and street while in drive and at times it the RPM idles while im at the stop like and parked. I have contacted Chevy but they didn't want to honor the powertrain warranty and I was not to told not to come back to ron craft Chevy. So I took it to miller auto body and repair, here in houston, they recommend that I replace the engine cover I did out of my own pocket even though its was supposed to be honored at the Chevy dealership under powertrain. I still continue to drive the car but it still losses power and turns off while im driving. Last night the battery died, I replaced it with a new today but the car still shuts down and stops while I'm driving. I don't know what to do and why this is happening and why Chevy isn't honoring the powertrain warranty on the faulty engine components, the stability track stays and the check engine lights stays on and a traction lights stays on. I have done regular maintenance on this car every since I bought it, every maintenance inspections were all done by Chevy, I just don't under stand why they play dumb when honoring my powertrain warranty.
My car has died 2 separate times while sitting for multiple days without driving (battery will go to 0). 2 other times, I have been driving, and my car will completely shut down. My battery goes from 14.5-0 in a matter of seconds. It feels like someone slams on my emergency brake while I am driving. It is incredibly dangerous. I then always have to have my vehicle towed back to my dealership to be worked on.
The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Cruze. While driving 70 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. On another occasion, there was an abnormal clicking noise and the vehicle stalled. The dealer was unable to duplicate the failure or retrieve a fault code. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 54,000. The VIN was not available.
For the atleast 5 months my car has been stuggling to accelerate when coming from a stop or driving on both city streets and highways. Also my radio would go out for some reason while driving on city streets.
My Cruze diesel around 30K miles, had an electrical issue which resulted in the dealership replacing the radio and other electrical nodes. Around 40K miles the battery and alternator went bad. None of which were covered by the dealership so I had to pay for it myself. Since 45K miles, the car has randomly popped up a message saying the engine power is reduced. I travel to large urban areas and this has happened to me in the worst of situations and I am lucky to be alive due to this issue. This now comes on often and is not covered by the Chevy dealership I went to. I just purchased this car in 2014. Seriously considering the lemon law
