WHILE DRIVING MY RADIO STARTS TO FLASH ON/OFF, STABILITRAK, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHES ON THE DASHBOARD. WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME STIFF. IF I DIDN'T HAVE CONTROL OF MY CAR I WOULD'VE HIT THE CURB AND/OR ANOTHER CAR. ALL WHILE MY KIDS WERE IN THE VEHICLE. I HAVE READ OTHER COMPLAINTS DEALING WITH THE SAME ISSUE, WHY HASN'T THIS BEEN ISSUED AS A SAFETY RECALL YET????
I WAS IN MOTION / DRIVING MAKING A RIGHT TURN ON A CITY STREET, USED MY TURN INDICATOR AND THE RADIO SHUT OFF AS WELL AS THE DASHBOARD FLASHED THE TRACTION CONTROL ALERT. I HAVE NOT HAD THIS SITUATION HAPPEN BEFORE BUT IT IS VERY CONCERNING.

MY ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON WHILE THE STABILOCK SERVICE FLASHES ON THE DASHBOARD; CAR JERKS WHILE EITHER IDLE AND/OR STOPPED; A LOUD SQUEAKING NOISE FROM UNDER THE HOOD (ALL THESE ISSUES ALWAYS START AT THE SAME TIME!!).

UNFORTUNATELY, THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THAT MY 2014 CHEVY CRUZE HAS THIS ISSUE. MY ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON WHILE THE STABILOCK SERVICE FLASHES ON THE DASHBOARD; CAR JERKS WHILE EITHER IDLE AND/OR STOPPED; A LOUD SQUEAKING NOISE FROM UNDER THE HOOD (ALL THESE ISSUES ALWAYS START AT THE SAME TIME!!). I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO CHEVY DEALERSHIPS AND THEY HAVE (SUPPOSEDLY) REPLACED THE SAME PART - SHAM COVER (ACCORDING TO MY INVOICES). I TOTALLY DON'T GET WHY THIS IS A NOT A RECALL ISSUE. IT IS VERY FRUSTRATING TO TAKE MY CAR IN FOR THE SAME ISSUE, AND OF COURSE, NOW THAT THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED, I'M SURE IT WILL BE EVEN MORE COSTLY.... WHICH I REALLY THINK IT WILL BE THE SAME THING! (OF COURSE, I'M NOT A MECHANIC, BUT IF I'M TAKING MY CAR IN FOR THE SAME REASON AND THEY DIAGNOSE IT AND REPAIR THAT SAME PART; I'M BEGINNING TO WONDER.... WHY EVEN CHARGE ME FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST WHEN YOUR CHANCES ARE IT'S THE SAME ISSUE!!) IS THIS A PART THAT ONLY LAST A MAXIMUM OF SO MANY MILES? I PURCHASED THE CAR IN 3/2015; AND THE 1ST TIME I RECEIVED SERVICE FOR THIS ISSUE WAS 6/29/2015, AND THEN AGAIN 2/24/2017. I'M SO CONFUSED!!! :( COME ON GM ~ HELP US OUT PLEASE!!

FOR A LITTLE OVER A YEAR, I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE RADIO SHUTTING OFF AND ON, STABILITRAK SHOWING AS NEEDING SERVICE, THE CAR SHUDDERING, AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON. I HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR INTO A MECHANIC 3 TIMES TO DETERMINE WHAT MAY BE CAUSING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON, AND 3 TIMES THE COMPUTER SAYS AIR INTAKE. I HAVE HAD JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING CHANGED, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GOES OFF, I DRIVE FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES, AND IT COMES BACK ON. OVER $700.00 IN REPLACEMENT PARTS AND LABOR, AND STILL THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. TODAY 7/1/2018, I DROVE DOWN TO HAVE THE OIL CHANGED AND FOR THE FIRST TIME, THE ENGINE LIGHT HAS NOT COME ON, BUT NOW THE CAR DOES NOT WANT TO START AND SOUNDS LIKE THE STARTER OR THE BATTERY IS DYING. THIS IS ABOVE AND BEYOND THE MOST FRUSTRATING CAR PROBLEM I HAVE EVERY HAD, AND I CAN'T SEEM TO FIND ANYONE CAPABLE OF ANSWERING THE PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR. THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS SPRING UP IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE WHILE DRIVING IN TOWN, AND IT SEEMS TO BE OKAY FOR A FEW DAYS IF YOU MESS WITH THE BATTERY CABLES, BUT THEY HAVE ALREADY BEEN REPLACED ONCE AND THE PROBLEM IS BACK!!!
I HAVE HAD REPEATED ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH THIS CAR. IT STARTED WITH THE RADIO SHUTTING ON & OFF ON ITS OWN. THEN THE STABILITRACK STARTED FLASHING ON. THE FIRST FEW TIMES THAT WAS ALL IT WAS, BUT IN THE FALL OF 2017, THAT SENSOR WOULD COME ON & MY BRAKES & STEERING WERE AFFECTED. IN ADDITION, THE CAR WILL HAVE MOMENTS WHERE IT …

I HAVE HAD REPEATED ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH THIS CAR. IT STARTED WITH THE RADIO SHUTTING ON & OFF ON ITS OWN. THEN THE STABILITRACK STARTED FLASHING ON. THE FIRST FEW TIMES THAT WAS ALL IT WAS, BUT IN THE FALL OF 2017, THAT SENSOR WOULD COME ON & MY BRAKES & STEERING WERE AFFECTED. IN ADDITION, THE CAR WILL HAVE MOMENTS WHERE IT BLANKS OUT JUST BRIEFLY WHILE DRIVING, USUALLY NOTICED BY THE RADIO GOING OFF & ON. I HAVE ALSO HAD THE KEY GET LOCKED IN THE IGNITION. YESTERDAY, 6/17/18, I WENT TO START MY CAR IN A PARKING LOT & SEVERAL SENSORS CAME UP, BATTERY CHARGING SYSTEM, STABILITRACK, & POWER STEERING. CAR WOULD NOT START, I KEPT SHUTTING OFF THE RADIO, & IT WOULD COME BACK ON. CAR RESTED FOR 2 HOURS & THEN STARTED AGAIN. ONCE DRIVING, THE STEERING WAS NOT RIGHT. TOOK A QUARTER OF A MILE OF DRIVING BEFORE THE STEERING WHEEL DID NOT PULL 1/4 OF THE WAY TO THE LEFT ON ITS OWN. I HAVE TAKEN THIS CAR INTO THE DEALER WITH ALL OF THESE COMPLAINTS EXCEPT THE INCIDENT YESTERDAY. THEIR SOLUTION HAS BEEN NEW BATTERY AND NEW BATTERY CABLES-TWICE. IN THE FALL OF 2017, I MENTIONED SEEING SIMILAR ISSUES ONLINE & THEY DISMISSED IT. I JUST CALLED ABOUT THE 6/17/18 ISSUE & I AM GETTING THE RUN-AROUND FROM THEM.
I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON THE FREEWAY AND NOTICED THE CAR WAS SWAYING AND WOBBLING ... I HAD GOT 4 BRAND NEW TIRES ABOUT A MONTH AND A HALF AGO SO I DIDN'T THINK IT WAS THAT. THE NEXT DAY, SAME THING DRIVING TO WORK BUT THIS TIME IN ADDITION TO SWAYING, IT WAS JERKING AND LOOSING POWER OR PUNCH AT TIMES WHEN PRESSING ON THE ACCEL…

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON THE FREEWAY AND NOTICED THE CAR WAS SWAYING AND WOBBLING ... I HAD GOT 4 BRAND NEW TIRES ABOUT A MONTH AND A HALF AGO SO I DIDN'T THINK IT WAS THAT. THE NEXT DAY, SAME THING DRIVING TO WORK BUT THIS TIME IN ADDITION TO SWAYING, IT WAS JERKING AND LOOSING POWER OR PUNCH AT TIMES WHEN PRESSING ON THE ACCELERATOR. THE FOLLOWING DAY, SAME THING AGAIN, THIS TIME THERE WAS A WARNING LIGHT CHECK STABILITY TRAK, SOMETHING LIKE THAT. I ALSO NOTICED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. IT ALSO BEGAN JERKING EVEN MORE AND WHEN I PARKED IT, THE FAN WAS VERY LOUD AND RUNNING EVEN THOUGH THE CAR WAS NOT OVERHEATED. WHEN DRIVING HOME AND STOPPING AT LIGHTS, MY CAR JERKED MORE AND ONLY STOPPED TEMPORARILY WHE N IN PARKED OR IF I PRESSED ON THE GAS. I AM CONCERNED THE RECALLS FOR MY CAR WAS NEVER ADDRESSED, EVEN THOUGH IT IS "SAYING" NO RECALLS FOR MY VIN. WHAT SHOULD I DO? I AM NOT SURE I SHOULD DRIVE IT FAR BASED ON WHAT OTHERS HAVE SAID HAPPENED TO THEM WHEN DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY OR LOOSING CONTROL THRU AN INTERSECTION.
2014 CHEVROLET CRUZE IS FLASHING TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT AND RADIO IS TURNING OFF INTERMITTENTLY WHILE IN MOTION. THIS STARTED AROUND MAY 1, 2018 AND NOW HAS OCCURRED ON 4 SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THERE ARE CURRENTLY NO RECALLS FOR THIS PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED WITH GENERAL MOTORS.
I'VE NOTICED A PROBLEM ELECTRICAL BECAUSE BLUETOOTH PAUSES DURING USE. WINDSHIELD WIPERS FLUID NOT REACHING WINDSHIELD. HORN STOPPED WORKING. KEY LOCK CONTROL STOPPED WORKING. ALL HAS TO DO WITH ELECTRICAL. NOTICED BROWN RUST ON INSIDE OF DRIVER SIDE BACK WHEEL. PASSENGER FRONT TIRE CONTINUES TO DEFLATE.

14V151000 · Power Train:axle Assembly:axle Shaft
Mar 31, 2014
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2013 and 2014 Chevrolet Cruze vehicles equipped with a 1.4L turbo engine, and manufactured between November 28, 2012, and March 7, 2014. On the affected vehicles, the right front half shaft may fracture and separate.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the half shaft fractures and separates while driving, the vehicle would lose power and coast to a stop. If a vehicle with a fractured half shaft is parked without the parking brake applied, the vehicle could move unexpectedly. Either condition increases the risk of a crash.
Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the right half shaft, as needed, free of charge. Parts for the remedy are not currently available. GM will send an interim letter to owners in May 2014. A second owner letter will be mailed when parts are available. Owners may contact Chevrolet at 1-866-694-6546.

14V092000 · Power Train:automatic Transmission
Feb 21, 2014
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2014 Buick Regal, LaCrosse, Verano, and Enclave, and Chevrolet Impala, Malibu, Cruze, and Traverse, and GMC Acadia vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions. In the affected vehicles, the transmission shift cable adjuster may disengage from the transmission shift lever. As such, these vehicles do not conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 102, "Transmission Shift Lever Sequence, Starter Interlock, and Transmission Braking Effect." They also fail to conform to FMVSS number 114, "Theft Protection and Rollaway Prevention."
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If a vehicle's shift cable disengages from the transmission shift lever, a driver may be unable to shift gear positions and the indicated shift position may not represent the gear position the vehicle is in. Should a disengagement occur while the vehicle is being driven, when the driver goes to stop and park the vehicle, the driver may be able to shift the lever to the "PARK" position, but the vehicle transmission may not be in the "PARK" gear position. If the vehicle is not in the "PARK" position there is a risk the vehicle will roll away as the driver and other occupants exit the vehicle or anytime thereafter. A vehicle rollaway increases the risk of injury to exiting occupants and bystanders.
Remedy: General Motors will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace any affected transmission shift cable adjusters, free of charge. The recall began on April 10, 2014. Chevrolet owners may contact General Motors at 1-800-222-1020, Buick owners at 1-800-521-7300, and GMC owners at 1-800-462-8782. General Motors' number associated with this recall is 14048.

Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the half shaft fractures and separates while driving, the vehicle would lose power and coast to a stop. If a vehicle with a fractured half shaft is parked without the parking brake applied, the vehicle could move unexpectedly. Either condition increases the risk of a crash.
Remedy: General Motors has notified owners. Dealers will replace the half shaft assembly, free of charge. The safety recall began on October 15, 2013. Owners may contact General Motors at 1-800-521-7300. This is General Motors campaign number 13276.
