2013 Chevrolet Cruze

I WAS DRIVING AND WAS TURNING EAST AT THE LIGHT WHEN A CAR WAS COMING TOWARDS ME. I NOTICED THE CAR WAS NOT STOPPING AND HIT THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY CAR. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE TO WHICH MY YOUNGER BROTHER WAS SITTING. I CHECKED ONLINE TO SEE IF THERE WERE SIDE AIRBAGS BEFORE I WROTE THIS INFORMATION...UPDATED 10/07/14 *BF UPDATED 3/11/2015 *JS *TR

I DRIVE A CHEVY CRUZE 2013 MODEL. I WENT TO THE GARAGE IN THE AM AND THE CAR WAS ATTEMPTING TO START ITSELF WITH THE KEY IN THE IGNITION. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID ALL THEY CAN DO IS WATCH IT TO SEE IF IT DOES IT AGAIN. I CALLED GM AND THEY SAID THAT IT IS EXACTLY THE SYMPTOMS THAT THEY HAVE HAD HAPPEN WITH THEIR OTHER VEHICLES AND THAT IS WHY THERE IS AN IGNITION RECALL. I ASKED THEM WELL MINE ISN'T ON THE LIST AND THEY SAID THAT SINCE IT ISN'T ON THE LIST THEN THEY WONT FIX IT, I EXPLAINED TO THEM THAT MY CAR IS DOING THE EXACT SAME THING AND THAT IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND THAT THEY SHOULD FIX IT, THEY SAID THAT THEY WONT BECAUSE IT ISN'T ON THE LIST TO BE RECALLED AND THE ONLY WAY THEY WILL IS IF IT IS ON THE LIST. MY COMPLAINT WITH GM IS THAT IT IS OBVIOUSLY HAPPENING ON OTHER VEHICLES AS WELL AND MINE IS ONE OF THEM AND THEY WONT FIX IT CUZ IT ISNT ON THEIR LIST TO BE FIXED. *TR

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. *TR
