The vehicle shut down while driving, warning, "battery savings mode" came on. Vehicle was towed, has not since started back up. Key's will not remove from the ignition. I believe it is due to faulty wiring causing the electrical system to short out, although, I am uncertain.

Digital gauge cluster eventually shorts due to factory-installed wiring being too short. Needs a special wiring harness to lengthen the wires to prevent premature wear. Affects everything from the radio, to critical vehicle information such as mileage, fuel level, current speed, rpms, etc. This issue can occur at any time. In my particular case, the vehicle was operating fine in the morning, was shut off, and then no longer functioning in the afternoon upon starting up again.

I bought my 2013 Cruze in June 2014, with around 40k miles on it. In September the car began having issues. At first it was just that the radio and all dash lights would shut off. Then I had multiple service lights that would flash randomly. Those included stabilitrak, traction control, power steering and security system. At one point, while driving in a parking lot, my power steering completely locked up. My car eventually stopped starting. I was stranded at school and had to call a tow truck. When this happened, my key actually got stuck in the ignition. I was able to jump the car after several minutes of trying, but it would not keep power. I had it towed to the dealership, but they were not able to find anything wrong with it (no codes even came up on the computer) and it ran just fine for them. I drove the car home, and the next day had the same problem. This time after about 30 minutes of trying to get the car to start, it did, so I drove it straight to a chevy shop. Again, they couldn't find any codes, but said they replaced some wiring and cleared the computer. I didnt have anymore problems until last week, when it all started happening again. I've had the power steering lock up on me in the middle of an intersection! the weird thing is, when my car doesnt want to start, all I have to do is use the little electrical knob that moves the drivers side seat back and forth, and everything fires up. Gm needs to figure this out because it's bound to kill someone!.
I bought my 2013 Cruze ltz about three months ago and I was sure that it was the perfect car, now, I'm fully aware that I was wrong. . I got in my car to leave for work on August 1, 2014 and when I started my car, the on dash maintenance reminders all went crazy telling me to "service power steering" and "service stabilitrak". . I knew this couldn't be right so I turned off the engine and restarted the car, the screen went crazy again with the service notifications. I didn't have time to have it checked out before work so I went ahead with my day, I got all the way to the interstate (which is about a mile and a half from my driveway) and noticed the steering was getting stiff so I pulled over and restarted the car again and the lights didn't come back on so I, again, went on about my day. . . Issue number two-- about three days later, and every day since, my on dash touch screen goes completely black, which wouldn't bother me so bad if it didn't make all of the "service" lights come back on. I don't "need" a touch screen but it would be really nice if I didn't feel like I was driving a ticking time bomb every day since the vehicle clearly has wiring issues. Now, if I touch the brakes or roll down a window, the screen goes completely black, the dash lighting flickers and the service lights come on. I've been searching forums for almost a month and it seems that numerous people are having these issues, not only myself. I'm so disappointed with my purchase, its almost unreal. . The perfect car, in the perfect color with more recalls (and other issues that haven't been recalled) than I even know how to deal with it. Never again will I buy a Chevrolet vehicle. It is out of control to not be able to feel safe in a vehicle that you've worked extremely hard to get.
The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet cruise. The contact stated that while traveling 60 mph, the vehicle lost all power as the engine light illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle was towed to the dealer. The technician diagnosed that the lug nut that held the electrical ground wire was loose and had to be tightened in order to repair the failure. The failure and current mileage was 3,000.
The radio electrical panel would turn on & off intermittently, then the drivers gauge panel would flicker. After the gauge panel flickered, the power steering warning light came on and the power steering shut off. Then the traction control warning light came on and the traction control stopped working. Then I went to roll up the windows and the whole dash panel flickered, then the windows would not roll up. There appears to be a serious electrical problem in the vehicle somewhere. It acts as though there is a short in the wiring harness somewhere. I am taking it to the Chevrolet dealer for diagnostics.

I recently had a diagnostic done on my 2012 chevy Cruze eco 1. 4 liter. The code read as p069e, fuel pump control module. I have had issue with the instrument panel not showing accurate fuel levels. Sometimes if the fuel goes below half a tank it reads empty for a few days or a week, even if I fill up the tank it still reads empty. This can be dangerous, especially on long trips and I have a long commute in and out of different cities. I have had this issue since I have had the car at 1100 miles when I got it. I currently have about 108000 miles. I used to think it was the fuel pump, but recently learned it could be a few things like the fuel line pressure sensor, fuel pump mra, wiring, circuit issues, or the fuel pump control module. And the fuel pump control module seems to be the main issue or so I have heard. It would be great if this could be resolved, it is not good driving around with a defective fuel system.
