Consumer Description

THE CARS RADIO AND OTHER ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS (EX. ON-STAR, PHONE CHARGERS, USB PRODUCTS) WILL TURN ON AND OFF AT RANDOM. IT OCCURS RANDOMLY AND INTERMITTENTLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED A NUMBER OF OCCASIONS ROUGHLY 15-20 TIMES OVER A COUPLE OF MONTHS. IT MAINLY HAPPENS AT A RED LIGHT AND THEN WILL TURN BACK ON ONCE I ACCELERATE. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON A HIGHWAY GOING 60-70MPH AND THE EVERY LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD WENT ON AND ON THE DISPLAY SCREEN IT STATED STABLITRAX IS OFF. IMMEDIATELY PRESSED MY ONSTAR BUTTON AND ASKED THEM TO RUN DIAGNOSIS AND THE WHOLE CONVERSATION WAS GOING IN AND OUT OF BEING ABLE TO HEAR THEM. MY RADIO WAS GOING ON AND OFF THE ENTIRE TIME WHEN THE RADIO WAS ON I COULD HEAR WHEN IT WAS OFF AND ALL POWER WAS OFF. WE DID LOSS CONNECTION TO ONSTAR AND I REPRESSED THE BUTTON. I HAVE HAD THEM RUN THEIR "DIAGNOSIS" MULTIPLE TIMES WHEN THIS HAPPENS AND THEY NEVER HAVE ANYTHING COME UP WRONG. THEY ADVISED ME TO TALE THE DEALER. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY ADVISED ME THAT UNLESS IT WAS HAPPENING AT THAT TIME IT WOULD PRETTY MUCH BE IMPOSSIBLE TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. I HAVE HEARD SOME CLICKING OR SWITCHING SOUNDS COME FROM UNDER THE HOOD WHILE I HAVE BEEN DRIVING OCCASIONALLY NOT SURE IF AND MY ENGINE TEMP ALWAYS RUNS COLD NOT SURE IF EITHER OF THOSE RELATE. IT WOULD BE NICE TO FEEL SAFE IN MY NEW CAR AND IT WOULD BE NICE TO BE PAYING FOR ONSTAR AND NOT HAVE A DOUBT THEY WOULD BE REACHABLE IF THIS CAUSES A BIGGER PROBLEM! BE SAFE FELLOW CHEVY CRUZE DRIVERS! *TR
