NHTSA Complaint #11233639 — 2013 CHEVROLET CRUZE

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE (2013 CHEVROLET CRUZE) IN 2016 AND IT HAD MILEAGE OF 3,500 MILES. LESS THAN A MONTH OF OWNERSHIP AN ALERT SHOWED AND SOUNDED IN THE DASH LIGHTS THAT THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WAS OPEN WHEN IT WASN'T AND THIS WAS WHILE IN A PARK POSITION AND WHILE IN MOTION ON ANY ROAD. THE ALERT WAS ALMOST CONSTANT SO I BROUGHT IT TO A REPAIR SHOP WHICH REPLACED THE LATCH IN THE DOOR 3 SEPARATE TIMES AND THE PROBLEM STILL OCCURRED. EVENTUALLY I ASKED TO JUST HAVE THE LATCH DISCONNECTED IN THE DOOR BECAUSE NO ONE COULD FIX IT AND STOP THE ALERT AND SOUNDS FROM GOING OFF. SO NOW I HAVE A $300 LATCH DISCONNECTED INSIDE THE DOOR BECAUSE THAT WOULDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM PLUS I HAVE TO MANUALLY LOCK AND UNLOCK THAT DOOR IF I NEED TO USE IT WHEN ALL OF THE OTHER 3 DOORS CAN BE ELECTRONICALLY LOCKED/UNLOCKED WITH THE FOB OR THE LOCK/UNLOCK BUTTON IN THE CAR. NOW A NEW PROBLEM THAT IS CURRENTLY GOING ON IS THE REAR BRAKE LIGHT IN THE BACK WINDSHIELD IS VERY DIM WHILE IN A PARK POSITION OR WHILE IN MOTION DRIVING ON ANY ROAD. IT STILL WORKS BUT IS NOT AS BRIGHT AS IT USED TO BE. IT'S A LIGHT BAR THAT SITS IN THE BACK WINDOW ACTING AS A 3RD BRAKE LIGHT AND IT DOES NOT CONTAIN LIGHT BULBS. ALSO, I'VE HAD A COUPLE OF OTHER ALERTS SHOW UP IN THE DASH FOR A DAY OR MORE WHILE IN A PARK POSITION OR IN MOTION DRIVING ON ANY ROAD AND THEN THEY GO AWAY AFTER A FEW DAYS. I SUSPECT THIS VEHICLE HAS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AND I CAN'T AFFORD TO HAVE IT DIAGNOSED.
