My stabily track lights are on during motion.

Ever since owning the Cruze, we've had nothing but engine issues. First the turbo went out a month after purchasing the car. Two thermostats and a complete oil flush. The engine blew at 104,023 miles. The car was flashing engine light and stabiltract light. The car since owning has made a very loud ticking noise. The car also had a hard time maintaining speed. Acceleration and deceleration. This happened any time the vehicle speed was over 30mph.

Driving down the interstate doing 70-80mph and the car starts dinging-stabilitrack, traction control, and reduced power all come on and the car loses power without any warning and couldn't drive faster than 5 mph and had to get to the shoulder of the road without getting hit by other vehicles doing the same speed. This vehicle with this issue that came out of nowhere should not be driven on the road. I have had several issues with this vehicle and cel lights on but nothing that almost completely stops vehicle without warning and almost kills everyone in the car! I get they are trying to save the engine or whatever from further damage but I am pretty sure that I would like to live and not kill anyone else in the process of this so called safety precaution the vehicle takes on.

I backed out of my icy driveway and onto the clear, dry road. Set my cruise control to 48mph and after about 30 seconds, my traction control and service engine lights came on with an error message that said "service stabilitrak" and my cruise control turned off. I closed the stabilitrak message, the traction control light turned off after about 30 seconds, and the service engine light turned off shortly after. But my cruise control still wont engage. I've turned the vehicle off and on and it still isnt working. It seems that a lot of different gm vehicles have experienced this problem, and the dealership has fixed it in several different ways. I read on a forum that someone had the issue and the gm dealership said there was an issue with the amount of ethanol in the gasoline. I happened to have filled up my tank the night before with regular unleaded from my local speedway. Not sure of that could have been connected.

Vehicle was in motion going approx 35 mph uphill on residential road when it started vibrating and "service stabilitrak" light came on. Pulled over into gas station and shut car off. Sat for 2 minutes before turning back on. Service stabilitrak light remained on with some vibration. Merged onto highway and attempted to reach the speed limit of 65 mph. Cruze would not allow me to accelerate above 60 mph. Service breaks light came on and then got an alert stating that power steering had failed. Car basically shut itself down and I had trouble getting it to fully turn off. Steam/smoke then began coming out from under the hood and liquid from the car was all over the road. Towed to chevy dealer where they discovered a hole in the engine block, otherwise known as a catastrophic failure. Car had 27k miles on it at the time. It was an extremely scary and dangerous ordeal.

The transmission of the car is not working properly. It jumps every time I press the gas pedal and jumps when the car is on the road.

While driving, the car radio has cut out multiple times while �service stabilitrack� has been displayed on the dash. The battery was replaced and the issues continued. This is mainly seen while slowing down or stopping at a red light. The lack of power to the car threatens safety as my turn signals failed to work and I lost power steering on one occasion. I personally researched this issue through online forums and found out that many others share the same problem. The result may be a faulty negative battery connection.

Car surges, engine loses power off, c/s traction control/stabilitrac light comes on dash, door locks activating on their own, we have put new battery new negative cable with new bolt. Car at speed 60- 65 this happen,driving on highway and interstate. I drove car 3 times happened, tech drove car this happened, car been checked at dealer 3 times and still at dealer as of 11/16/2019.

I live in colorado, and ever time its cold in the morning when I start up my car it gives me hard time and then does an ant theft system lock. When im home, okay its durable but now its done it while im driving, and when I was at the car wash. Complete lock, steering wheel, key is locked in the ignition. This is super unsafe!! ive gotten this car fixed soooooo many times this outrageous.

Throttle position sensor. Check engine light came on car started blogging down dropping rpms while driving, as I came to a complete stop the car would drop rpms and then go above then normal idle rpms but seemed to want to go while my foot was on the break. . When the car is off the code is reading the throttle position at 16. 5% when it should be at zero! when the car is on the throttle position reads at 40% not 100%. It is a huge concern considering the throttle can get stuck at any point and their goes my life as well as my 2 year olds life.

Check engine light came on 11/05 and that afternoon the car started to idle hard and sputter when stopped. The error codes read for a maf sensor; had that and the engine air filter replaced, and the car still sputtered but the light went out. I purcjased the car in 2015, it had 2300 miles at the time, and would make noticeable engine noise soon after. I took it back but the dealership mechanics said that it was a sensor and not to worry until the check engine light came on; they were talking about the the maf. On 11/12/2019, the light is on again. Also, the stabillitrak light comes on/off.

We purchased a 2011 chevy cruz with less than 100k miles. In the 2 years we've had it we've replaced the transmission, oil cooler, and all the hoses. The furthest we've driven it is 400miles in a trip. We haven't taken it up mountains, and we keep up with maintenance.

I bought my car from a used car lot in March. After about 2 weeks, I started having issues with the cruise control, after a few months, the cruise switch had to be replaced because it stopped working all together. During the time I've had the vehicle, I've had to replace the thermostat control, as well as a coil in the engine. For the past 2-3 months or so, I'll be driving down the highway and the service stability track will show up, with the traction control and the check engine light blinking. My car wont let me speed up, and it will slowly slow down. If I have my cruise on when this happens, the car's rpm will shoot up in an attempt to get back to the speed I had it set at. After about a minute with the lights on, the check engine light will stop blinking and the car will go back to normal (the traction light wont turn off until I turn off the car). I have taken my car to my mechanic, and his computer shows code uo100, which is "lost communication with engine control module", which is a very general code and could come from anywhere. He cannot figure out what is wrong with it. The wires seem connected properly, and everything seems fine, other than the light issue. It happens while I'm driving down the highway, at any random moment. It occurs at least every 3 days, if not everyday.

Everything on the dash shut off. Heat and air shut off. Service stability track warning comes on. Engine fan running all the time. Steering locks.

When idling the vehicle will have small fluctuations in rpm that make the car feel like it will stall. While driving the warning signs of "service stabili trak" and "service traction control" as well as the engine light come onto the display on the dash. "battery saver mode" has also appeared before. Once all of the car lights as well as the radio and other electronic portions of the vehicle all shut off when this happened including power steering ability. Have had the alternator as well as the engine replaced at menikiee and the issue is still persisting.

For a few weeks now, I have noticed that the radio and dash lights will suddenly cut off, and then come back on. I have had the vehicle inspected but no issue was found. I have not been able to narrow down what triggers the issue to occur, it will happen at random times. There is no way to replicate the event without just being in the car when it happens. Just in the last 30 minutes it occurred: 1. While accelerating to 40 mph; 2. While breaking to come to a stop sign; 3. Maintaining continuous speed at 30 mph; 4. While stationary, rolling up my power window; 5. And, while stationary, foot on break placing the vehicle in park. The randomness of these occurrences and the fact that there are no senor warnings/codes to notify the dealership concerns me. Depending on the type of commute, a potentially dangerous situation could occur without warning to the vehicle operator.

I got my chevy Cruze less than 3 years ago. On Tuesday my car turn on the engine light. When I was driving my car started shaking,linking and smoking in the middle of the hwy. I went to the leader on Thursday because I got scared. Denny told I cannot drive my car like that for my safety. I left my car in the leadership. It's being 4 days without answer. My car have full guaranteed and they offered me a courtesy car. So there me without answers and not car. I went to the leader and denny answer it that they don't know when the car going to be fix, but that if I want I can take the car with me. I just can believe no one care about the customer safety. He told me I couldn't drive my car like that now he doesn't care if I get into an accident with a car that shouldn't be drive. They just want me to apply for a new car. When I don't need a new car. I feel my car is still new. I only have it for 2 years and 10 months less than 75k miles. I need someone to help because this car have all this recalls and just because I'm spanish and female they think I won't do nothing about.

My car started shaking, smoking and licking while driving. At first in the dealer told I won't be able to drive the car like that. Now after 3 days without answer they wants to take the car without fixing the car. I'm scare to drive a car that is shaking. I'm very concerned about my life safety.

While attempting to start my vehicle it will not turn over. Then the check engine light flashes on and off. The display then reads service theft deterrent system. Service tire monitoring and will then completely lock up. This has happened to me roughly 4 times in the last few months. The only way to get the car to start is with a jump. The battery, starter and alternator are all good and are not causing the issue.

Failure to be notified of severe safety defect affecting 2. 2 Chevrolet vehicles 6 other recalls all specifying exact condition (NHTSA special coverage bulletin 14232 power steering stick slip lock up ) began experiencing intermittent lock up of steering on highway one month ago still confused under terms of special coverage warranty 10 years 150k miles gm Chevrolet sr vp alicia s boler davis and ceo mary barra.

The page previous to this one would not let my check every box (3 max), the other things I would have checked that were affected are -lighting -speed control -steering -wiper -traction pictures show these two signals that pop up "service stabilitrak" and "service traction control". Whilst im driving some come things start to happen; the radio/ dash stereo will flicker on and off- all noise stops (any music or blinkers), the heater/ ac wil stop blowing if it is on. Sometimes when this happens my power steering will also go out, jerking the steering wheel while im driving, and happens alot when im turning (very scary). The dash will also flicker with abs, brake, traction, lights. Some days it will happen very frequently ,other days it will only happen a couple times. I am uncertain what I am doing that is making it act this way. When I am at a stoplight, or drive thru and the same thing as above happens my engine will suddenly shut off while my windshield wipers activate out of no where- very startling (this has happened while my gear shift was in park and while im holding the brake in drive). This has happened multiple times and while in different situations, stationary, in motion, city street, highway, turning, going straight, braking, none of this has happened until a few months ago. Sometimes when I start my car in the morning to warm I come back outside and then engine had shut itself off. The traction does not seem like it is gripping to the road very well, winter has just started, and I am scared to drive it. I am going to get it checked out at a chevy dealership as soon as I get the money. I have just now had the car for a year, myself. Thank you.

When starting the car, a previously used 2015 chevy Cruze lt, the check engine light came on and the messages �service traction control� and �service stabilitrak� appeared. When driving, there was a noticeable reduction in acceleration power.

The stability control goes off due to a air leak in the air valve causing lose of steering power which has occured while driving the steering wheel becomes impossible to steer when this happens.

The screen goes black sometimes. The car shuts off by it self. It gives different warnings one was electric stability control and the other was check power steering. It has happened while driving and stationary. It has happened to me more than once and on the road and in a parking lot. I brought it to where I purchased it and they thought they fixed it but it happened again today.

Stabiltrak warning comes on and makes car run horrible. Had to replace turbo twice now only has 109,000 miles. Airbag light stays on. The car has always ticked bad. Car almost caught fire from a sensor. It melted it in half.

The engine light keeps coming on. There doesn't appear to be anything wrong with the engine. The light will clear itself eventually, but then it will come back on again. This has been going on for about 1 year.

We have put over 3,000 dollars in this car and only had it a year and half. Every time we fix a problem someone else immediately goes wrong. We are currently on the 3rd turbo, replaced coilpack for a misfire, replaced plugs, pvc valve and cover, different hoes to the engine, sensors. It has 110,000 miles on it. Its my daily drive to work and its been broke down half the time ive owned it.

While driving my 2012 chevy Cruze, my radio will shut off randomly for about 10 seconds, and when it does, I lose complete control of the steering. It is like the car shuts off but when the radio turns back on, then the car will restore power. Very dangerous and scary!!! and yet, there is still no recall for my specific VIN. Also, for two mornings in a row, I have noticed a smell and some smoke coming from the engine. It will only do it for about 5 minutes and the car will not overheat. I swear it is one thing after another with this car.

My vehicle has been having issues where it will take extra time to get it started up. When I finally do get it started, warning lights flash saying power steering system, the antitheft stays on, as well as the engine management light. I just had my car serviced not too long ago for a coolant leak on the engine hose. I have always kept up with oil changes as well as all other fluid levels checked regularly. I first began thinking it was the battery, however I have had the battery tested and it is still basically new.

My car is a danger the engine power slows down when driving causing another to hit in the back power steering light displays, stabilize tract and engine power, I have already had one hit and run accident. I took car to Chevrolet dealership harbison rd columbia SC they just half repair it someone may die if car continue to power down.

While driving, the engine suddenly stopped and messages appeared on dash about servicing air bag and power steering. Very dangerous as car was moving 45 mph and had to move to shoulder. Towed to dealer and was told it was negative battery cable. Happened again - towed it back to dealer and was told it was positive battery cable.

While driving the music will shut off and the dashboard which projects the speed flashes on and off. My headlights and turn signals are also effected by the issue as well; at one point while driving it occurred and my steering wheel locked up while tryin g to make a turn on a city street.

I took my 2014 chevy Cruze ltz to the Chevrolet dealers in 2 different occasions about 2 years apart. The same issue persists. I get all the electric systems to start blinking and turning off and on for a minute and a message appears saying "service stability control". The power steering goes off, and the breaks and the car keeps running so it is dangerous to drive. It caused the car battery to be damaged because the sulfuric acid evaporated and made the car stink so much like rotten eggs. I took it it under warranty they couldn't figure it out (I tested the battery independently and it was perfect-so it was the alternator), I took it again after warranty expired and still they just replaced the (replacement) battery again but I might be risking my life by driving this car which has the "stability" error at random times for a minute and then it disappears but at the dealers they say that they cannot test it unless it happens in front of them.
