1 Exterior Lighting problem

Failure Date: 02/07/2024

So yesterday night I was at walmart and I had the car idling while putting stuff in the car the interior lights dimmed and there was a rattle that came from underneath the car right after the car stalled out twice, I had interior lights on but no power to the engine just sitting and once I started driving it didn't stall out on highway, but there is a possibility of this happening at a stop sign or traffic light, but again no check engine light, wondering if you can research into this? seems to be a reoccurring situation.

2 Exterior Lighting problem

Failure Date: 02/01/2021

This car is crazy. Starts on its own if key left in ignition. Radio goes on and off constantly. Power steering tries to go out. Lights up like a christmas tree. I fear for my life and it needs a recall.

3 Exterior Lighting problem

Failure Date: 02/08/2020

When I drive my vehicle my brakes work fine most of the time. From time to time when I'm at a red light the pedal will slowly start to go all the way down and car will start moving forward. I have to release it and quickly pump the brake again to stop it. Then this has happened more than just a few times; when pulling out of a parking spot on reverse my brakes won't respond and the car will just go backwards and I have to pull the emergency brake because there is no other way of stoping it. Now I do not want to hit any vehicle or person!!!! I have taken it in to shops to have it looked at but no one seams to find the problem, because apparently the breakers have no visible issues. Also one reverse light if not both at times, will stay on while driving.

4 Exterior Lighting problem

Failure Date: 03/29/2019

While driving my car the radio dashboard will start flashing on and off on its own then when I put the car in park and turn it off the key is stuck in the ignition and the dashboard is completely black and the car will not turn on at all. 3/28/2019 around 11pm the car radio dash board was flashing and I turn my car off and it will not allow me to take the key out at all well some time through out the night the car turned back on because at 6am the lights where back on in my car by itself. The next morning I drive my car to school and it does the same thing with the dashboard and flashing on and off and it shuts off again, this time I get a jump start and the car is back working. The car also act as if it was going to shut off while driving it. But it has done this to me back on November 8,2018. I fear for my life driving this car beacuse you have no idea when the car will shut off while on the road. Someone has to do something about this issue because if some one die in a car accident and it is found to be electrical problems there is a big law suit coming. I am making this complaint just for that. We spends literally thousands of dollars on a car and when the car has a defect the consumers are messed over by the dealerships and whom ever makes the car. Then you have to have so many complaints in order for a recall or is it how many people have to die in order for someone to look and see that this car has electrical issues and will shut off on you at ant time. Hello! it never fails the car starts giving you issue after the warranty has expired its like they have it program. I am complaining because they are avoiding the fact that this car has major electrical issues and how many complaints or lives will it take for a recall? my car was stationary, in motion, on the highway when this all happened. Ref#14v417000 the dealership replace the black cable but my car is still.

5 Exterior Lighting problem

Failure Date: 03/16/2019

I've noticed my radio and lights on screen goes out while I'm driving sometimes and I think that's an electrical problem and could probably start fire.

6 Exterior Lighting problem

Failure Date: 03/01/2018

My display and radio began intermittently flashing off and on. Then my stabilitrak service light began coming on. I have loss of power and am concerned for my safety trying to drive under these conditions. I am contacting the manufacturer who should warranty this manufacturing defect. There are hundreds of complaints on the chevy forum website. We deserve some sort of help with this and not at our expense. The problem I described happened while stationary and in motion but the loss of power is while driving. I'm concerned about getting hit while driving. Please help. Mark.

The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Cruze. While driving various speeds, the radio and the interior lighting in the vehicle flickered.

9 Exterior Lighting problem

The turn light reflectors fell out of both driver and passenger sides. The vehicle was stationary when this happened. I am tring to find a way to replace just that specific part but can not seem to find that specific part.

10 Exterior Lighting problem

Failure Date: 03/26/2015

I was driving east on the road. The car in front of me suddenly stopped and I was unable to stop before hitting them. I do feel I was following at a safe distance but for some reason the car did not slow down or stop as I feel it should have. The front end of the car crumpled though the air bags never deployed and the onstar crash response never activated. There was also very minimal, if any, damage to the car in front of me (possibly dented the bumper). On a side note, I have owned this car for 2 months now and have only been able to drive it for approximately 17 days because I have to keep taking it back to the shop to be worked on for malfunctions in other systems of the brand new car. I am concerned that there may have been a malfunction with the brakes system or airbags as well.
