Car all of a sudden started to slow down on the highway throwing all kinds of codes like service stabillitrac, throttle body position sensor, pressure intake manifold and lots of other ones
I have had my 2014 Chevy Cruze for 2 years now and have kept up with regular maintenance. My vehicle rocks back and forth while on the brakes, there-??s an constant issue with the traction control system, my automatic lights don-??t work (I have to many turn on the light in order for the brake lights to turn on), the vehicle shakes side to side when braked, and so much more. When I take the vehicle to be looked at every mechanic and shop tells me there-??s nothing wrong or they don-??t know.
the negative battery cable terminal clamp has an insufficient crimp at the battery negative terminal causing intermittent issues with the vehicle. Radio/HVAC Display has turned off and on; the Antilock Brake System, Service Traction System, Service Stabilitrac and Steering vehicle messages come on and off; the turn signal sound may not be heard; -??Service Steering-?? displays in the Driver Information Center (DIC); and the interior and exterior lighting flickers. Power steering assist has also be lost, and greater effort has been needed to turn the steering wheel at low speeds or while the vehicle is stopped. This is a known safety issue and SB-100-57574-8899 was previously issued for some but not all of the Chevy Cruze models and my 2014 should have been included in this recall.
i believe it is the ignition switch, my car has been chugging or hesitating while driving and you can also feel it when you are sitting idling and while one the park position. i-??ve also read that there are several others that own a cruze and have this issue. Sometimes as well you stick the key in the ignition and there is no connection no noise as like it-??s trying to turn over you have to continue to turn the key off and on to finally get a connection and sometimes when you drive and then park and turn the key off the car tries to restart by it-??s self. i believe these are issues that seriously need fixed by gm or chevy- no one should have to pay the price of a car for this to occur! i also do all recommended maintenance as suggested to my vehicle. i am taking the vehicle to be fixed on 5-9-23
My reverse camera stays on for a few minutes after putting it in drive which is distracting. I keep looking down at the screen to see how long it takes to go out and back to my radio screen. The trunk randomly opens even when I am driving and then it won't open at all. The Bluetooth randomly cuts out while I am driving and talking on the phone which causes me to become distracted while driving. There is an issue when I put gas in the car as well. I have bought 2 gas caps, the one on there now is OEM dealer cap. The cap is on with 3-4 clicks, no check engine light but when I stop at a light, the car feels like it going to stall. No lights come on when it does that.

I financed my car through drivetime in june 2019 and from the time i got the car i have been having electrical issues. My car has also been in a really bad accident prior to me purchasing it and when i tried to return it. They just kept telling me to go to pep boys because I had a 60 day warranty to fix any issues. I should not have had to take my car to any mechanic if I got it from a dealership. I now have really mad transmissin issues and I havent even had the car for 3 years. I believe this company sold me a lemon and i dont know how to prove it. I dont have the money to fix all the issues.
For about a year now my 2014 Chevy Cruze-€™s steering wheel will lock up for a few seconds while I am driving (at speeds up to 80MPH) - which is extremely dangerous. When this happens, several lights will then pop up on my dashboard and messages are shown saying -€œservice power steering-€ -€œservice traction control-€. The radio turns off, the lights inside the car turn off, and the back up camera stops working. The engine light has been on and will not go off. I have already replaced the transmission and the starter as well as the fuel pump. I was told by my mechanic to just get rid of the car as it has way too many issues to even attempt repairing. I once ran over a curb and popped a tire when the steering wheel locked up. Every time I start my car there is a message that say -€œroll down driver window and roll back up-€ which I do not understand. This seems to be happening to several people. I am very disappointed and scared to be driving this car.
Power flickering and multiple errors lit up on dashboard including loss of stability control. Radio kept flashing on and off. Would show back up when pressed brake or regular car in motion. -- Looked up online and appears to be known negative battery cable --- which doesn't show on NHTSA recalls or errors to look out for.
The radio started to turn on and off and while that was happening it became difficult to steer. The message on the dashboard read "Service Stabilitrak".
I have a 2014 Chevrolet Cruze, and when I turn the ignition off it sounds like it's trying to start on it's own. It also has a faulty catalytic converter.
When parked and left to idle after driving for a while, the traction light comes on and the dash displays service StabiliTrak and traction control. After this happens the car seems to lose power and sometimes feels as if the breaks are catching and letting go.
The touch screen radio unit has totally failed. Without this system, I cannot hear the directional signals or view the backup camera. No aftermarket modifications were made on this or related parts. This car is eight years old and has been maintained according to the manufacturer's service schedule.
In the steering column it-€™s really hot where you connect to make a call and where you turn on cruse control. This part of the steering column should not be hot.

While in drive, radio, dash lights and turn signals randomly shut off. Not sure if turn signals are working even though no sound - praying other drivers can see when I'm turning"? sometimes I'm just sitting at a red light and everything goes quiet. The length of time varies, so it can be startling when everything suddenly comes back on. This has happened many times over the past few months. Overall, may sound insignificant, but the (working?") turn signals is a safety issue!!
Stabiltrak service warning, radio screen turning on and off as well as muting of turn signal all at the same time. Happens several times a day. New battery in 2020.
This has occur more than a handful of times. This is the most recent one, I stopped at the gas station turned off my car and when I went to start it nothing was working no lights, no power anywhere. I wiggled the battery cable and it came back on but, I had to turn the key on and off multiple times for it to finally start. As I'm leaving the gas station I turn to the left and I have no power steering none whatsoever. Then it came back seconds later I was driving straight and the wheel jerked on its on and it said service power steering and once again I had no power steering. It went off moments later. When I got to my destination it lost all power again.
