NHTSA Complaint #10604387 — 2012 CHEVROLET CRUZE

IN APRIL I HAD BEEN DRIVING AND NOTICED THAT MY RADIO WAS FLICKERING. AFTER ABOUT TEN MINUTES OF MY RADIO FLICKERING ON AND OFF, THE "SERVICE STABILITRACK" LIGHT CAME ON. ONCE THE SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON, POWER STEERING SHUT OFF AND I HAD TO PULL THE VEHICLE OVER. AFTER PULLING OVER, I SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE AND THEN TRIED TO RESTART IT. THIS TIME IT STARTED WITH A NEW SERVICE LIGHT ON. I TOOK THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAD IT FOR THREE DAYS HOPING THAT THE PROBLEM WOULD PRESENT ITSELF TO THEM. I SHOWED THEM A VIDEO OF WHAT HAPPENS TO THE RADIO AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO HELP ME. THEY DID HOWEVER NOTICE THAT A PREVIOUSLY RECALL DONE ON MY CAR HAD NOT BEEN FIXED BEFORE I PURCHASED IT. A FEW DAYS AFTER GETTING THE CAR BACK, THE LIGHTS STARTED TO FLICKER AGAIN. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY LET ME KNOW THAT THERE WAS NO POINT IN BRINGING IT IN UNLESS THE PROBLEM WAS CONSTANT. ABOUT A MONTH LATER, I WENT TO START MY CAR AND NOTHING. NO LIGHTS, NO ENGINE TURN OVER NOTHING. MY KEY WAS STUCK IN THE IGNITION AND WOULD NOT TURN. MY FIANCE HAD TO GET OUT TAP THE BATTERY AND THE WHOLE THING STARTED UP. TWO DAYS AGO, THE SAME RADIO, SERVICE LIGHTS AND ENGINE SHUT OFF HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS IS 2 TIMES NOW THAT I HAVE HAD COMPLETE FAILURE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I AM LITERALLY TERRIFIED FOR MY LIFE!!!!!!!....UPDATED 07/31/14 *BF UPDATED 08/23/2017*CT *TR
