2014 Chevrolet Cruze Electrical System

WHEN I TURNED OFF MY CAR AND THE KEYS WERE IN THE IGNITION MY CAR TRIED TO START ITSELF...IT NOW DOES IT FREQUENTLY

THE SIDE DETECTION WENT OUT AND THEY FIXED IT THEN I HAD TO HAVE IT CHANGED AGAIN IM GOING TO START A LAW SUIT BECAUSE I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT KEEPS BLOWING OUT IVE TALKED TO A LAWYER AND THEY SAID I HAVE A GOOD CASE

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, I WOULD LIKE TO FILE A COMPLAINT ON THE SAFETY HAZARD CAUSED BY FAULTY BLIND SPOT DETECTORS ON CHEVY CRUZES. I STARTED RECEIVING A NOTIFICATION ON MY DASHBOARD THAT THE BLIND SPOT ALERT SYSTEM NEEDED SERVICE. ONLY A WEEK LATER I WAS RECEIVING NOTIFICATIONS THAT THE ALERT WAS TURNED OFF. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE CHEVY DEALER THEY RAN THE SOFTWARE AND SAID THAT IT WAS DEFECTIVE AND THEY NEEDED TO REPLACE THE BLIND SPOT DETECTOR MODULES FOR $900. AT FIRST GM SEEMED WILLING TO WORK AND START A CASE FILE AND LOWERED THE PRICE TO $734. CURRENTLY MY CARS BLIND SPOT ISN'T WORKING AND IT SEEMS TO HAVE SPREAD TO THE REAR CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT WHICH IS NOTIFYING ME THAT IT'S TURNED OFF AS WELL. THE CHEVY DEALER SAID THAT THEY WOULD TRY AND REPLACE THE BLIND SPOT MODULES AND HOPEFULLY THAT WOULD FIX THE REAR CROSS TRAFFIC DETECTORS. DUE TO THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT (SEEN HERE) HTTPS://WWW.TRUTHINADVERTISING.ORG/WP-CONTENT/UPLOADS/2018/05/HUDSON-V-GENERAL-MOTORS-COMPLAINT.PDF AND VARIOUS OTHER ONLINE COMPLAINTS ( HTTPS://CHEVROLETFORUM.COM/FORUM/IMPALA-14/BLIND-SPOT-DETECTION-PROBLEM-81694/PAGE2/) I BELIEVE CHEVROLET AND GM SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE FAULTY SAFETY SYSTEMS THEY HAVE INSTALLED.

THE CAR SHUTS OFF WILL NOT START AFTER A PERIOD OF TIME IT WILL START AGAIN ALL INSTRUMENTS LIGHTS ECT GO WACKY ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON REVERSE LIGHTS ARE ON WHEN IN PARK CAR WILL SHAKE THAN SHUT OFF .VERY DANGEROUS AT RED LIGHTS OR STOP SIGNS .I SEE THERE ARE A LOT OF SAME COMPLAINTS BUT GM REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM A DEALER IN 2014 AND WHENEVER I DON'T DRIVE IT FOR A 24 HOUR PERIOD THE BATTERY WILL BE DEAD AND REQUIRE A JUMP START. I'VE CHANGED THE BATTERY 4 TIMES BUT THE BATTERY ISN'T THE PROBLEM. SOMETHING IS KILLING THE BATTERY.

THE RADIO TURNS OFF AND ON AND WHEN IT TURNS OFF THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP.

CAR ELECTRICAL SYSTEM PROBLEM FAILURE DATE:2/27/18 THE RADIO DASHBOARD POWERS ON AND OFF (FREQUENTLY AT TIMES). IT APPEARED TO HAPPEN MORE WHEN THE CAR WAS STOPPED. WHEN THIS HAPPENED, THE DASHBOARD WOULD DISPLAY: "SERVICE STABILITRAK" THIS BEGIN HAPPENING ON 2/27/18 AND IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET CRUZE. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE BATTERY FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED. AFTERWARDS, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ILLUMINATED WITHOUT ANY INDICATORS DISPLAYED AND THE GEAR DID NOT SHIFT. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 62,900.

THE POWER TO THE RADIO SCREEN CONSTANTLY CUTS OUT. MANY TIMES THE SCREEN GETS STUCK IN THE BACK UP CAMERA MODE. IT IS VERY DISTRACTING. IT HAPPENS IN PARK AND WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION.

THE CAR HAS STARTED STARTING AND SHUTTING OFF ON ITS OWN. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS SINCE IT STATED DOING THIS IN MY ATTACHED GARAGE WHILE I SLEPT. MY WIFE IS SCARED OF CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING. I ALSO FEAR PUMPING GAS COULD BE DANGEROUS IF IT STARTED WHILE DOING SO. I'VE READ ONLINE IT'S VERY COMMON ON THE CRUZE. I CONTACT GM AND THEY AREN'T COVERING IT WITHOUT A RECALL.

KEY GETS STUCK IN THE IGNITION. BATTERY IS NOT DEAD. IF THE KEY IS TURNED FAST YOU MAY REMOVE IT FROM THE TUMBLER BUT IF IT IS TURN TOWARDS THE OFF POSITION SLOWLY THE LOCKING MECHANISM RETURNS TO THE RETRACTED STAGE AND WON'T ALLOW THE KEY TO BE REMOVED. I CAN MANUALLY REMOVE THE KEY BY PULLING THE LOCK MECHANISM FORWARD WHILE TURNING THE KEY TO THE OFF POSITION.

RADIO SHUTS OFF INTERMITTENTLY AND THE STABILITY TRACK WARNING COMES ON. RADIO WILL RESUME AND WARNING WILL GO AWAY WITHIN A SECOND OR TWO. GENERALLY CAN BE RECTIFIED BY SHUTTING THE CAR OFF AND TURNING IT BACK ON.

THE BATTERY BEGAN INTERMITTENTLY DYING AFTER RECALL SERVICE. CAR WAS TAKEN BACK IN & I WAS ADVISED THAT THE BATTERY REQUIRED REPLACEMENT. IT'S 3 YEARS OLD...

CAR ELECTRICAL SYSTEM PROBLEM 3 FAILURE DATE: 05/09/2017 THE RADIO DASHBOARD POWERS ON AND OFF (FREQUENTLY AT TIMES). IT APPEARED TO HAPPEN MORE WHEN THE CAR WAS STOPPED AT RED LIGHT. IT DIDN'T OCCUR OFTEN WHEN THE CAR WAS ON THE HIGHWAY ON CRUISE CONTROL. TWICE WHEN THIS HAPPENED, THE MAIN DASHBOARD WOULD DISPLAY THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT: "SERVICE STABILITRAK" THIS BEGIN HAPPENING ON JANUARY 29, 2017, AND IT HAS HAPPENED DAILY (AT LEAST ONCE) SINCE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET CRUZE. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, THE CONTACT FOUND THAT THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED THE INCORRECT FUEL INFORMATION. THE CONTACT RAN OUT OF FUEL TWICE DUE TO THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IT TOOK 48 HOURS BEFORE THE GAUGE WAS ACCURATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO WEST HERR CHEVROLET OF WILLIAMSVILLE (LOCATED AT 8040 TRANSIT RD, WILLIAMSVILLE, NY 14221 (716) 406-6151) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE REPLICATED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED FUEL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

THE ELECTRICAL SCREEN PORTION OF THE CAR RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF AND BLINKS BACK ON. FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN I'M UTILIZING THE SCREEN GPS. THE ENTIRE SCREEN WILL TURN OFF WITH NO WARNING. IT APPEARS TO RESET ITSELF. AS THE SCREEN TURNS BACK ON WITH THE "CHEVY" HOME SCREEN. IT HAPPENS BOTH WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY (IE. JUST TURNED ON,) AS WELL AS WHEN I AM IN MOTION. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR OVER A YEAR, BUT HAS RECENTLY BECOME MORE FREQUENT- HAPPENING AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK.

TRUNK OPENS ON ITS OWN.... THE REMOTES ARE ON THE TABLE.. IT JUST STARTED DOING IT TODAY AND HAS DONE IT 3 TIMES IN THE PAST 3 HRS.

THE POWER STOPPED AND THE CAR COASTED THEN STARTED AGAIN. THE RADIO WENT OFF LOST POWER THEN CAME BACK ON. WE HAVE STOPPED USING THE RADIO. WE ARE AFRAID WE WILL LOSE POWER IN TRAFFIC AND HAVE A ACCIDENT. WE WERE DRIVING DOWN A COUNTRY ROAD GOING ABOUT 25 TO 30 MPH

I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT AND HAD "REDUCED ENGINE POWER," "SERVICE STABILITRAK," COME ON AND THE RADIO WENT DEAD AND THE DASH LIGHTS WENT DEAD TOO. I AM REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS HAPPENING ON THE HIGHWAY AT SPEED.

MY CAR HAS DIED 2 SEPARATE TIMES WHILE SITTING FOR MULTIPLE DAYS WITHOUT DRIVING (BATTERY WILL GO TO 0). 2 OTHER TIMES, I HAVE BEEN DRIVING, AND MY CAR WILL COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. MY BATTERY GOES FROM 14.5-0 IN A MATTER OF SECONDS. IT FEELS LIKE SOMEONE SLAMS ON MY EMERGENCY BRAKE WHILE I AM DRIVING. IT IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS. I THEN ALWAYS HAVE TO HAVE MY VEHICLE TOWED BACK TO MY DEALERSHIP TO BE WORKED ON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET CRUZE. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. ON ANOTHER OCCASION, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL CLICKING NOISE AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE OR RETRIEVE A FAULT CODE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 54,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

FOR THE ATLEAST 5 MONTHS MY CAR HAS BEEN STUGGLING TO ACCELERATE WHEN COMING FROM A STOP OR DRIVING ON BOTH CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS. ALSO MY RADIO WOULD GO OUT FOR SOME REASON WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET CRUZE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 25 MPH AND WHILE COMING INTO A TURN, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

MY CARS POWER STEERING WENT OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING FOR SHORT BURSTS. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT THE POWER CABLES TO THE BATTERY WENT BAD BUT THAT IT ISN'T COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THIS CAR IS ONLY TWO YEARS OLD. THIS CAUSED ME TO HAVE A SMALL ACCIDENT BECAUSE THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A TURN.

2014 CHEVROLET CRUZE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO IGNITION KEY PROBLEMS. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED A FEW DAYS AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED THE IGNITION SWITCH TURNED OFF BY ITSELF WHILE MERGING ONTO THE HIGHWAY. THE CONSUMER STATED HER HUSBAND'S RING WAS HOLDING MANY KEYS AND IT APPEARED THAT ONE BECAME WEDGED ON THE STEERING COLUMN. *JB
