Me and my kids were driving down the highway when my 2011 chevy cruise just lost power and my engine stopped working... it will not start up at all. mechanic cant figure out why. i've got tons of sensors going out everytime i turn around and i am a mother of a disabled son. we were on at parkway going 65 to 60 mph. it could have been very bad. it happened ed in madison ville ky
Takata recall. recently while driving, my car will randomly say service stabilitrak or service traction control whenever i turn the wheel backing up but wasn't affecting the car in any way as far as i could tell. my headlights would also flicker at the same time so i figured it had to be something electrical. yesterday while turning onto a different street and today while driving straight down a street i lost power steering.
It's been one year and my chevy cruze has overheated twice. the first time the thermostat was wrong along with the thermo pipe that needed to be replaced. and now similar issue is happening where my car smells funny, i turn the heat in and the car will start to over heat and never warm the car.
Engine light comes on and car will slow down and barely take off. engine is responding to gas pedal but no power in low gear so takes off very slow nearly resulting in wreck. two shops, including transmission shop, state its electronic problem including 'lack of communication'. it happens from being stationary or in process of driving when it loses power suddenly. when engine light goes off it runs ok. dangerous to drive as never know when it'll act up. started about six months ago, and is intermittent.
While driving the engine totally looses power and the entire car is shut off and comes to a stop. lots of electrical messages show up, and sometimes the key cannot come out of ignition. after an hour, sometimes it will restart. i have had it towed three times to the dealer. at first they thought it was the negative battery cable, but its still has the problem. starting to not be able to trust this car as its a hazard to drive not knowing when it will cut out and just stop with no power to even have windows roll up.
Takata recall my car is shutting off then powering back up by itself.. seems like something is stuck reading a code of p0234
Engine power reduced light comes on, car idles rough, like it is going to shut off. when initially taking off car putts like it is not getting gas. car acts like it will stall while driving and during idling. stability service traction light comes on periodically and engine rmps increase. had car looked at in case it was o2 sensor, but was told by mechanic there is an electrical issue. issue has been occurring since may 2018. there are 126k miles on the car. car has been well maintained. i drive 45 minutes to work, 5 days a week. i have young children that i transport in the vehicle. car feels unsafe.
Drivers side heated seat shuts off after about a minute.
Smells like it's burning, smokes into the inside. it's been numerous times in the shop but it keeps doing the same. electrical problems with the driver seat and lighting also
Set up the airbag and the car mileage does look
My car just went out. no warning no nothing. the dashboard wend haywire and was unable to read anything at all (speed, rpm, fuel or temp). the ignition downshifted on its own almost causing an accident while i was on the highway. once safely off of the highway i tried to park the car in a proper parking space so that i could inspect the issue and it wouldn't reverse and shortly after would no longer go forward.
After starting the vehicle and driving forward the dash screen started to show different "check" warnings. check stability control, check power steering. the check engine light came on as so did most of the dash indicator lights. the power steering stopped and the engine temporarily quit. the engine responded again and while driving the dash went dark and the car died. i had to turn the ignition off and restart the car. this is the third time this has occurred. the last event was while driving through a parking lot.
