Alarm goes off randomly says the back driver door is open when it's not. Also chimes constantly when trying to put back window down. I've take it to places and they say it's gonna be 300 dollars. I feel I shouldn't have to pay for an issue that happened randomly and is happening to more than just my vehicle.
Chevrolet and Pontiac cannot do a diagnostic unless we pay the cost on what ever vehicle being recalled. They told us to schedule a diagnostic test and pay for it and any necessary repairs also. They also said the vehicles warranties has expired. So the defects are the customers fault for purchasing their products. They have us pending for and unknown reason. When they first called they did mention a $500 voucher or a new car, but that came to pass also. Someone name.... regional supervisor told us that, and it was all lies. We still pending....this is a follow up claim # 8-4866033982.
My dashboard lights begin flashing, the radio turns off, the blinker sound stops working, the antilock brake system, service traction system, service stabilitrac and steering vehicle messages flash on the dashboard. I saw this issue reported in a GM bulletin https://static.NHTSA.gov/ODI/tsbs/2015/sb-10057574-8899.pdf but my dealership said my car isn't affected even though it is that year, make, and model and the same exact things are happening. It happens when I am driving, it started off once or twice a trip, now it is constantly happening so much so I cannot even listen to music. It seems to happen more often when I am in stop/go traffic.
While driving on the interstate around 70mph, the radio and dash lights flickered on and off, and the service stabilitrak light came on the dash. It appears to be the same issue as sb-10057574-8899.

Chevy Cruze battery cable recall - sb-10057574-8899 "on certain 2011'2015 model year Chevrolet Cruze vehicles, the negative battery cable terminal clamp may have an insufficient crimp at the battery negative terminal.

The blind spot detection system has experienced 2 failures within 45,000 miles and less than 3 years.

I bought a 2015 Chevrolet Cruze on November 13, 2105. I have had numerous electrical issues starting about one month after the purchase. I have been to four dealerships to have it repaired, and it comes back with no issues for about two to four weeks and the nightmares start over again. The newest issue is a safety matter. My car decided to keep my locked inside the car. After many attempts to open the driver door it finally opened. (in my own driveway) last week I was sitting sideways. In the drivers seat, with the driver door open and my feet were on the ground. I was postioned as such for about five mins. All of a sudden I heard the sound of the doors locking, then five swishing noises followed by a double lock sound, in which all four lock buttons went down. (parking lot at work) the next day person was in the front passenger side, with car shut off, and she heard a muted lock sound, then a brief humming noise, then the car made the double locking sound but none of the buttons went down. (at a gas station) all three incidents occured while the keys were in my hand, and ignition off. This is a safety issue, for the passengers of this vehicle. As for all the doors staying locked while inside, I'm so glad it was only 84 degrees, and that I finally was able to get out of the car. I have reopened my case with lemon law as this is one of the many things that occur with this vehicle.
While driving my 2015 Chevrolet Cruze lt the radio shut off, lights flickered, service engine light came on, and other warning lights temporarily flickered on and off for a few seconds before returning back to normal. This happens multiple times daily often involving the power steering. While turning the vehicle, the radio will shut off, lights will flicker, and power steering will completely shut off causing the steering wheel to jerk while in the turning processes. The car has trouble starting often and sometimes will not start. The battery has been tested and is fine as well as the alternator. Sometimes the radio will shut off and not come back on until the next day even after restarting the vehicle. The largest and most dangerous issue I have had with my vehicle is the steering wheel locking up while turning. The vehicle wouldn't start on one occasion or even attempt to start and the key was locked in the ignition for about 30 minutes before finally the lights all came back on in the car and it started back.

Bought used (12,700 miles, GM certified) on Saturday. Car started by itself when parked, without key in the ignition, on Tuesday. No automatic starter installed.
Instrument cluster flickers. Then radio goes out. Warnings for stablitrack, cruise control and antilock brakes. Gauges go down. Power steering goes out and car jerks suddenly. Occurs repeatedly when the car has been operating about an hour with highway speeds around 65mph.
The car turn off on it self when im driving, it all ready happen 5 times on a row, I took the vehicle to mission Chevrolet at el paso tx, where I buy the car at but the guys from service can't find what its wrong with the car, I already talk with the supervisor from service department and a guy from GM so we can take it to the next level. I already took the car to get fix 8 times and they can't find the problem.
While driving & in stopped position at light the radio will intermittently turn off & back on at any given moment. I just purchased the vehicle not even 1 1/2 mos. Ago. This has been happening approximately once or twice every week for about 4 weeks now.I have tried to look for some solution to this & have researched but there had been vague information or no answer at all. I have noticed that it has been an ongoing situation that had been indicated in here but has there's been any resolution to the matter? I don't think I should have to be concerned with this whole either driving or at a stop light that the electrical system will go out, if any at all. I hope some kind of resolution or recall will be done for this, too me, a major problem.
