Possible electrical problems. Dash board randomly lights up; radio has gone completely off; steering wheel difficult to turn; security lock out engaged once; traction control came on and hard to steer and several occasions. This incidents are happening randomly and had near miss on highway not expecting the steering to lock up or become extremely difficult. This has happened over last several months. Independent car repair shop could not find anything, but still happens.
The chrome plating on both the front driver and passenger interior door handles started to peel off which created sharp edges on the handles in which I and others have cut ourselves on. I had to chip some of the chrome plating off and wrap the handles with tape to prevent myself and my kids from getting cut on the peeling chrome finish.
The front chrome interior door handles on my 2011 chevy Cruze that I purchased is peeling off. The edges of the chrome are extremely sharp. Both my wife and I have cut our fingers on both front door handles while exiting the vehicle. It is no paper cut either. Pretty deep and painful. I ended up placing tape around the handles as a quick fix from being cut. When I contacted the dealership, I was told it would be $150 for a new handle and that it did not include instillation. After reading numerous complaints online and observing a copy of a letter from Chevrolet admitting there is a defect in the handles, I wonder why there has not been a recall as of yet on this issue.
