Stereo blinks on and off, while driving or putting the windows up or down or even sitting at a stop light. Dash lights below the stereo blink on and off. Stabili track light, abs light blink on and off. Warning lights on the dash flash. Blinkers turn off intermittently. This needs to be a recall!!!!! I'm not the only having issues like this. We don't spend 1000's of dollars for garbage. I can't afford to keep fixing this thing!.

My car kept saying "ac off due to high engine heat" even though my car was not reading hot while driving down the road. Then the car would start smoking and blow a hose and liquid would be everywhere. I had a brand new thermostate put in and it still does the same thing. Also a previous recall about how the tire could seprate "tire rod" is still doing it again. I had 3 transaxle seals and a transmission seal, a motor blower for the a. C all replaced within the first year (still under warrenty) of owning this car. The stability track will show up on the screen. But I'm tired of worrying when my car will want to just randomly blow hoses and start smoking and leave me stranded on the side of the road! I bought a cheap car to get me to work and my Cruze is sitting!!.

Stabilitrak and brake malfunction.
I almost lost my fucking life on the highway today because it's a recall on my car that y�all don't want to fix because my VIN number wasn't call .
While my son was driving the car on the highway the engine started to smoke. He pulled over and turned off the car. He waited 10 mintues and started the car to head back home. When he arrived home liquid was leaking out the car and the car had smoke coming from the engine. At this time the check engine light was on. Gm had sent a recall notice in the mail (n202299080), a couple of days prior. I called them on Monday and they told me to take it to a dealer. I called the local chevy dealer and told them about the recall notice. He told me to bring it in. I called a tow truck driver and left the car at the chevy dealer. Ater they had the car for two weeks, they explained that it will be $2000 to fix the vehicle, even though there are currently 4 recalls on the vehicle. I called gm several times to ask how are they going to rectify this, with no call-back. The vehicle is still at the chevy dealership.
Tl- the contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Cruze. The contact stated that while driving at various speed the vehicle would suddenly began to vibrate and shake. During the failures the stabilitrac and check engine warning lights would also illuminate. The cause of the failures were not determined. The local dealer and manufacturer were not notified of the failures. The failure mileage was 100,000. Jft.
The 2011 chevy Cruze eco has been having a couple issues from there being a small oil leak coming from the engine it drips more after driving and also another little leak toward the back of the car then also my stablitrak and traction control issues kept me from getting out of an accident because my wheels didn't move the way I planned too, the radiator fan also has been working harder then usually it non stop is blowing very hard to keep the car cool. Last under the car the bottom trays have some oil building up and building up.
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.

Abs and traction control light came on after being parked ,no codes show up when diagnosed, heard there was recall for that but it doesn't show for my car.
The car was in motion on a highway. When accelerating the car sputtered a bit then the check engine light started to blink and traction light came on. Also made a certain whining noise. A message popped up stating stabilitrak service. ## #vpic# 1 - check digit (9th position) does not calculate properly #vpic#.
To whom this may concern, this vehicle has issues with stabiltrak/traction control. This vehicle has been serviced routinely throughout the time I have had it. This vehicle was brought in at the dealership upon receiving the letter for the recall, I do not think this was thoroughly inspected. It was under ten minutes, that I was told the vehicle didn't have a problem. In my opinion, this was totally incorrect. The problem persisted still to this day. Nobody reported this problem, which could be a major safety concern for my family and I. This will be the first investigation into this matter. If the dealership did say they thoroughly inspected it, why didn't they report this matter to you, which would be landers mcclarty Chevrolet, huntsville al. I have done major research and this matter is unacceptable. The dealership was completely in the wrong. None of this matter was handled correctly, why didn't I get any details or documentation. Why wasn't it reported?? I'm gonna continue to search for paperwork, and the exact dates which I took it there. I will be in contact with my lawyer, and get any paperwork and evidence reviewed. The stabiltrak light stays on, and caused me not to go into reverse. The steering completely went down and parking assist, as well as traction control is always on. This has been a complete disaster. I ask you with complete sincerity, to follow up. My family's life shouldn't be in jeopardy because of an improper investigation. This dealership will need to take full responsiblity. I will upload and pictures or attachments that are needed. Keep in mind, that these are the exact issues that this vehicle was recalled for, the same engine which is the 1. 4 liter turbo, and the same model that has been recalled for this exact malfunction!.
I was in a crash on July 27,2020,pm hours. I was driving straight on interstate,it began raining,I slowed down & adjusted traction control/stability control setting. The car veered to the right for some reason,I got car back in straight motion,then in a split second,it shot to the left of the road way. I tried gaining control,to get back in the correct lane,and the car ran into the guardrail in trying to get control of it. I do not think that the rate of speed,nor weather,were the only reasons for this accident. Prior to this crash,months before,at various times,and and for no reason, the service power steering,at times the service traction control,and at times the service stability message would appear,only for a split couple of seconds,at random times. The check engine light was on,and a prior certified mechanic diagnosed it as bank 1 catalyct concerter clogged. We,were trying to get the vehichle re-diagnosed by a different mechanic shop,at the time frame this accident happened,but,covid 19,made things to difficult to arrange and plans were in progress to have it checked ASAP. I beleive the vehichle had a malfunction and hope to get the sensors,computers,relays or any other checked out by you,not only gm. Every airbag along doors of car deployed. But, the steering wheel airbag did not. My head hit either the steering wheel or windsheild. I had a blow to my head. If all other airbags deployed,then I feel steering wheel bag should have also. This is serious malfunctions. There were problems from this car from day 1. Things went wrong way before expected time for. Such as heatercore, ignition coil,coolant leaks, thermostat housing outlet, driver door window & motor,all of most went bad before 80,000 miles. Even electrical such as door chime,lights not working at correct time. Air bag malfunction led to my head being hurt. Thank you.
I have a 2018 Cruze that I was driving on a 4 lane highway on top of a mountain, the brakes went out with me and my 6 month old in car, I was able to get to shoulder, towed to chevy, they said it was a faulty brake pump, and charged me 500 to fix it. Then less than 2 weeks later, same mountain, same thing, towed to the same chevy, they said that the replacement pump had exploded and it was caused by engine piston issues, and want 5 grand to fix it. I believe that chevy broke the car the first time and besides the fact, exploding brake pumps, 2 in a row is very scary. Luckily me and my child are still alive to be complaining about it, but we seriously came very close to being killed by these faulty brakes twice. I don't know if they lied about the repair or if it really is two exploding brake pumps in a row, but either way, these exploding brakes pumps are going to kill someone and it was almost me and my 6 month old baby. The Chevrolet dealer is auto nation in valencia CA.

Not sure what's wrong. I've fixed things already like mass flow sensor, air filter, motor mounts a valve leak. Cars been in and out of the mechanics for months. Cars engine shut off 2-3 times while driving with my daughter in the car!!!!!. Another time it turned off right after I started it up. The car is unsafe!!!!!! I've had it had 2-3 different mechanics. And the chevy dealership. The car never turns off for anyone but me. This past weekend I was attempting to pick up my car from one shop to take to another and it wouldn't start. This shop had the car for a week and a half and it never turned off until I went to pick it up. Now they still can't find what's causing the problem. I've spent 2 grand in labor and tows in just the last 3-4 months. I can't keep doing this!!!!!! someone please help me figure this out!!!!!!.
I have been having issues with my turbo charge system(s) for a couple years. I have brought my vehicle to be serviced several times and thousands of dollars later I'm still having the same issue. My engine light comes off and on so I had to wait until the he light was on for a diagnosis. I was then told I needed to replace my turbo boost system. I hen asked about the previous repair to my turbo system I was told there was more than one. Then a stabilitrak/ traction pops up periodically. On June 22, my car would not start, I could not remove the key from the ignition. Thinking it was the battery, I got a jump and proceeded on my way. When I was leaving my destination, to had to jump start my car again. The engine light isn't on currently , so I am unable to get another diagnosis. This has been the worse experience of my life. I have been in contact with Chevrolet directly over the past couple years and they provided absolutely no resolution. My car isn't gaining speed. . It seems to hesitate often and runs even worse with the ac running. I will never purchase another chevy product nor will I recommend this make. Chevy need to make this right. These cars are proving to be defective and they are proving they could careless. Chevy received a substantial stimulus package, make things right with your company.
Me and my boyfriend were driving in calcutta ohio we went to pull out of a parking lot to go to mcdonald's and we looked both ways and we were clear to go and by the time we hit the center turning lane and started to turn into mcdonald's and a Jeep came flying out of no where and our vehicles collided causing front end damage. The air bags failed to deploy in the car.
This issue has been ongoing since last year. I have been getting messages on my dash with errors such as service traction control/service stabilitrak. The car slows down to 5 speed and it stalls /jerk when driving. This is not safe and I almost got into an accident because of it. This vehicle is not safe. Took my car to the dealership for a diagnosis check and was told nothing showed up but a low battery. I got that fixed and the car is still having the same issue. When driving on the highway/streets/expressways when all of a sudden my car decelerated and I got the message engine power has been reduced/service traction control/service stabilitrak as well as my check engine light came on. Because of this, I was forced to pullover while almost being hit by other vehicles. This was extremely dangerous and scary for me because I have no idea what happened and it could have cost me my life, as well as others. I have taken the vehicle to chevy and firestone auto complete and no one knows why this is happening.
The contact owns a 2018 Chevrolet Cruze. The contact stated that while driving approximately 30 mph, the vehicle loss power steering assist. The service power steering- drive with care, and service stabili-trac warning lights were illuminated. The contact called hawk Chevrolet of joliet located 2001 w jefferson st, joliet, IL 60435, (815)725-7110, and was informed to schedule an appointment to have the vehicle diagnosed, which was still pending. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 42,909.
I have had nothing but issues with the car since I've had it and fixed everything that was wrong with it the the palm Chevrolet dealership that said was wrong with it and yet nothing has been resolved my stabilitrak control service system light came on along with the check engine light as they are flashing. I'm having a very hard time getting traction I have a 1 year old daughter and I don't feel that this car is safe for her. I want this issue looked into I have spent money that I don't have to just try to resolve the problem and yet it's not fixed.
Service stabiltrak light flashed, followed by the check engine light coming on. This is the second time since I purchased this car in 2018 that this same issue has happened. My car will shake while stalled at red lights or stop signs. When I go to put on the gas my car is slow to get back in gear and almost came to a complete halt at a stoplight which could have resulted in a collision if the person behind me was not paying attention. Does not feel safe to drive at all. This has happened twice to my car in the last year and a half.
The radio goes off and on and the warning lights are coming on at the same time.
It looses power. All dash lights flash on and off while driving, the radio turns on and off and the car looses power steering while driving (this is major and I've had a few scary moments while turning). At times the key will get stuck in the ignition and it will not start. The only way to get the key out is to pop the hood and jiggle the battery cable, it will then release the key. All these issues happen daily. I have no warning lights that stay on consistently.
Service stabli trac and service traction control come on. Car is �chugging� when in motion and then dies. Ignition coil get burnt out. This is now the 3rd time in a month.
Warning light comes on say steering and traction light and said service steering and my engine come on code was O2 and 01 I had alot problems with sensor the car was in repair shop 11 time the first 3 year I make complaints try to get new car from gm they said no.
My vehicle was recalled for the valve cover gasket which may leak oil and drop down causing a fire. I was told by the dealership that this was fixed upon taken it to a mechanic because the oil was dripping down causing smoke and the part that it was dripping on was red hot which was the coil wire. Was in fact not fixed.
I was crossing a highway when my 2015 chevy Cruze started to shake violently and experienced a loss in power, the engine warning light was then displayed across my dash, I managed to limp it home and then took it to the mechanics the next day. The mechanics checked the codes and found that, a engine misfire was detected, the fuel injector control mod was not available, or there was a communication problem, the electronic brake control lost communication with the engine control module, the digital radio receiver controller was not available, or was experiencing a communication problem, and the instrument control panel was displaying failures in ambient air temperature sensor circuit, and lost communication with the hvac control module. It turns out that due to a manufacturer error (chevy/ general motors) that the cars ignition coil towers had burned off on cylinders 2 & 4 and had taken out the spark plugs as well. So due to this manufacturer error, not only was everyone in my vehicle placed at danger, but I also had to get everything replaced for a total of $432. 80 a couple of days after finding out I had been layed off of work.
My son was driving down the road last week and dash flashed stabilink and he lost all power and forces him to try to pull over which he could because steering wheel locked up and brakes got hard to push. A week later stabilink flashed again and then while driving down the road he had to slam on brakes for a stopped vehicle and brakes would work and steering wheel locked up again resulting in him rear ending the vehicle.
With this condition,the radio/hvac display turns off and on; the antilock brake system, service traction system, service stabilitrac and steering vehicle messages may come on and off; the turn signal sound may not be heard; �battery saver active� and �service steering� were displayed in the driver information center (dic); and the interior and exterior lighting flickered. Recently power steering assist was also lost, and greater effort may be needed to turn the steering wheel at low speeds or while the vehicle is stopped.
The Cruze sputters or hesitates when braked or idling, the service traction control, services stabilitrak came on along with a flashing check engine light. I loose power and feel like I'm needing to press a lot harder on the gas to accelerate.
The stablic tract, the engine, the engine slows down, the power steering, the engine module has blowed I have had problems with the car day 1, I bought from jda automotive on garners ferry road. I have been taking car to Chevrolet in columbia,SC harbison . They repaired recalls but soon as repair they send a signal to car to tear up . The car come to complete stop causing me to need neck brace it also is tearing up the thread on tires. And people are blowing horn and also hitting me in back everywhere I go I have to use emergency blinking lights.
I was driving down a 45mph road and the vehicle felt like it was hesitating to accelerate. The rpm's went up to 6000 and the service stabiltrak mesage came up. The engine felt shaky and I didn't have any heat. I took the car immediately to my mechanic and they said the coil pack and plugs were bad and repaired them.
