While driving, I went to make a right turn and the power steering went out making the turn very difficult using manual muscle to complete the turn. Fortunately, it was in a parking lot. After the ignition was turned off for about 45 minutes, I turned it back on and the steering functioned normally. However, I am very concerned if this problem would again happen and I am driving at a speed and this problem would appear, it could possibly cause a serious accident because of the unexpected action that would be required.

Power steering warning keeps coming and going, replaced battery didn't fix saw a lot of complaints about negative battery cable so replaced that and it fixed the issue. Cruze's up to 2015 recalled this the 2016 obviously needs it too.
Second report I'm making about this cars engine problems the stability track and reduced engine power caused my car to stop on the expressway and I almost hit someone ! please investigate into this issue their are several people under this post from different parts of the world saying the same thing.
I just purchased this car and several times while I'm driving on the freeway the radio shuts of then turns back on numerous times. Then I usually get a stability's error message. Then the best part. The power steering will completely go out while changing lanes or in mid turn. I have been driving through a round about and also while making sharp turns to get on and off the freeway. This is so dangerous! I see that so many people are reporting the same exact problem! something needs to be done about this! I called onstar 3 times in one trip. First it disconnects because all electrical components shut off, then they actually told me I have to wait to call them back while I am losing my steering. Only to conclude they can only help after I am in an accident. When this is not going on the car runs great and I love it so it is obviously some kind of manufacture defect.
In the middle of driving home the car was not operable and would not allow me to turn the vehicle and it started doing a scrubbing sound before it stopped turning completely.

My 2016 chevy Cruze LS started making a roaring noise while driving down the road then the steering got very stiff I barely made it home and I called the dealership and they informed me that if I continue to drive the car this way the steering will lock up at anytime and it could cause a very bad accident for I will not have no control over the car.
2016 chevy Cruze ltz faulty battery negative cable causing battery corrosion, while driving car has power steering errors (loss of stable steering capabilities), traction system errors, reduced vehicle power, problems with cruise control (speeds up by itself). Contacted gm and informed them of this issue. They denied coverage, despite having identified the same safety issues with the 2011-2015 models.
I was driving on the highway on my way to drop off my daughter to the babysitter when suddenly my steering wheel started getting hard and the car wouldn't run, I kept pushing the gas petal and nothing, my car wasn't running. When suddenly the check engine light started blinking and the traction control light as well. The car was off in the middle of the freeway, luckily there was traffic and the cars were barely moving. Until finally I turned it back on and continued driving. The following day when I was leaving to go to work my car felt hard and the engine was shaking ridiculously and I'd push on the gas petal on the car and it wouldn't drive. I had to leave the car at home and I wasn't able to call the dealer because it was closed due to memorial day. My car won't go and I'm waiting to see what the dealer is going to tell me. Keeping in mind that the car was brand new olds when I got it out of the dealer.
Car goes into limp mode after warms up and says service power steering and service track stability very dangerous in traffic.
2016 Cruze the steering locked as I was merging into traffic with my 16 year daughter all electrical system was going off and on. After a couple of minutes steering released and radio system came back on and was able to make it to the local dealership. We purchased this Cruze for my 16 yr daughter as her first car but find it very unsafe. This problem is a safety hazard this problem needs to be fixed before somebody gets seriously injured or killed. Chevy needs to look into this problem and get this fixed. This happened 9/14/16 and car is still at dealership. Service tech can not figure out what is wrong with it. He was not even able to drive it himself.
