We have classified the 92 complaints from 2012 Chevrolet Cruze about STEERING into the following categories.
While driving in the city at night, the vehicle completely shut off, including the engine and all electrical systems without any warnings. this caused all lights to turn off, loss of power steering, power to brakes, and little to control to the vehicle. luckily, the vehicle behind me noticed and tailed me to a stop with their warning lights. i then proceeded to open the engine with a flashlight to discover that the battery was still properly connected (6 months old) with no frays or corrosion to the connectors or wiring. after about 5 minutes attempting to find a tow truck company the vehicle electrical system came back on with no intervention. i turned the ignition switch and the vehicle started with no issues and no engine lights on. i drove it the rest of the way home with no issues. when i got home i checked all the fuses and all were operable. the obd scanner found no codes. i am mid 30s 190ibs and fairly strong, i could only imagine if this happened in an intersection or during busy hours on the highway, i wouldn't be sitting here reporting this issue. i found numerous similar complaints on blogs ...
My son was driving by himself when he hit a pole. after the accident he said he could not move the steering wheel to avoid the pole. he said it stuck.
2012 cruze lt. the third turbo was installed 2 days before extended warranty expired. it has 56668 miles now. i spent 4 hours putting glue putty in the cracks on the bottom intake manifold, to plenum junction corners of cylinders 2 and 4 because of the gm plastic [xxx], curing the low boost and lean mixture codes at idle, on easter. the first month i had the car the transmission would start in first skip second gear rev up then chirp the tires until it warmed up, and was fixed by a program change to a lesser version and now at the higher mileage it waits before it engages first at all. another neat thing is to turn left at 5mph hard and feel the car do a jig to the right for an instant before continuing on with the turn. lastly, the water pump was replaced along with a cracked water outlet but not the rotted recirculation overflow hose that broke at 4 am to my fishing hole in september. i can say that the 2017 cruze must be better because the dumdums paid by the gm insurance company to change oil put more new oil in the motor ...
Hello, my 2012 chevy cruze ltz's key fob isn't being detected by my vehicle. i've looked it up and asked around and either nobody's heard of the issue or don't know what to do other than take it to a mechanic. this doesn't happen all the time, but it's painstaking when i can't even use the key fob one minute and then the next it works fine. the vehicle has been stationary since this problem has occured.
My cars over heating signal comes on and tells me to shut off the car all the time while driving, also the power steering locks up while turning.
While breaking, using the blinker, turning, or just driving the car will loose power, slow the car down, the radio looses power, and my service stablitky track, service power steering, along with traction control, anti-breaking lights, and a few other light will all come back on. it will do this randomly while driving, it seems to do it more frequently when coming to a stop or accelerating. i had this serviced back in february of 2017 and the dealership told me i had acid from my battery leaking into the positive cable, so i had all the battery and battery wires replaced. this took care of the problem until a few weeks ago. this is happening more and more often and the problem is becoming worse. this is a persistent problem with the chevy cruzes from the research i have done and chevy seems to be doing nothing about it.
Chevrolet cruze 2012 delayed steering when turning, then sluggish would not go past first gear. i was driving on city street noticed difficulty turning and slowness so stopped at nearest gas station. got vehicle towed to dealer and diagnosed with transmission failure. this was sudden, always kept up with regular maintenance, oil changes & tune ups! this should not happen to a car barely 5 years old car and well maintained!
Car wont turn off even with key off lights stay on too other times car just turns off while still on drive but gm calms no recalls !
When trying to start my car it sounds like wants to turn over but it does't ,everything reset on my dashboard,after waiting for a while it starts back up
Radio is turning on and off. stabilitytrak control light comes on power steering give out and brakes
Power steering failed while in motion. the cost of the repair is $1,900.00 on a $16,000 vehicle that is less than 5 years old
The stability track control and service traction control messages have both happened to me now a few times while driving down city/country roads and down the highway. the first time i had the service traction control was yesterday. (8/02/2016) it's scary because the radio resets and the power steering goes out. i have a [xxx] daughter and she's terrified as well. i wish they would figure this out already. i called the dealer once and like most people write online about this issue they didn't know what it could be and they didn't have a car i could use to go back and forth to work while they checked it out so i haven't taken to the dealer yet. the issue comes and goes. it could go away for months but always comes back. i keep checking online to see if they finally found a fix for this issue and i still haven't found anything. so i'm assuming once someone dies in a bad accident or numerous people do then maybe they will take it more seriously? i'm a single mom and i can't afford to not have a car or have a problem that i have to pay lots ...
