Driving down the interstate doing 70-80mph and the car starts dinging-stabilitrack, traction control, and reduced power all come on and the car loses power without any warning and couldn't drive faster than 5 mph and had to get to the shoulder of the road without getting hit by other vehicles doing the same speed. this vehicle with this issue that came out of nowhere should not be driven on the road. i have had several issues with this vehicle and cel lights on but nothing that almost completely stops vehicle without warning and almost kills everyone in the car! i get they are trying to save the engine or whatever from further damage but i am pretty sure that i would like to live and not kill anyone else in the process of this so called safety precaution the vehicle takes on.
While driving my 2012 chevy cruze, my radio will shut off randomly for about 10 seconds, and when it does, i lose complete control of the steering. it is like the car shuts off but when the radio turns back on, then the car will restore power. very dangerous and scary!!! and yet, there is still no recall for my specific vin. also, for two mornings in a row, i have noticed a smell and some smoke coming from the engine. it will only do it for about 5 minutes and the car will not overheat. i swear it is one thing after another with this car.
While driving the music will shut off and the dashboard which projects the speed flashes on and off. my headlights and turn signals are also effected by the issue as well; at one point while driving it occurred and my steering wheel locked up while tryin g to make a turn on a city street.
5/1/2019 my radio started going on and off while driving home then on 5/2/2019 it started blinking "stalibitrak" on my gauge panel along with the radio going on and off. is this something i need to be concerned with as my car is no longer under warranty and i'm not raking in the dough to have this on my plate along with the other issues with the car. i've only had this car for a year and a half.
A week or so ago while driving home from work on the interstate the instrument cluster went dark and the display in the center of it completely shut off. i finished the remaining 30 mins. of my drive without it returning to normal(lights off display remained off). i didn't have any more issues until today. this afternoon i drove to a family get together and while still in the city my instrument cluster plus my radio display started to randomly shut off then come back on after a second or two sometimes continuously for 10-20 seconds and once for around 30 seconds. each time they went off the speakers would shut off too and i'm not sure if the turn signals worked due to the lack of a display and audio. one instance i also encountered either reduced power steering or complete loss of it for several seconds while losing power to the displays and regaining it approximately 15 times over about a 30 second timeframe. after that i got a stabilitrak message but steering was normal for the rest of the drive. however the cluster, radio display, speakers, etc. continued to randomly turn off for a second or ...
My vehicle will say the drivers door is open when it is not, it will shut off and on. the alarm system goes off when ever it feels like it even driving down the road. there is nothing to do when it does this you just have to let it go off until it stops. the speed gauge changes from what the non digital one says. and the engine light shuts off and on when you hit a bump.
Turbo charger valve failed causing multiple other issues. car shuts off randomly. stability track keeps coming on even after the wire to the battery was replaced.
I was leaving work, onto a busy street and the headlights flickered, the check engine icon appeared on the dash, along with engine power is reduced, service traction control & service stabili trak. my car slowed down to about 5 miles and i was almost hit. i reversed back into my company's lot. someone scanned my car and the code was for p2135. doing research, i found it was a previous recall for this issue but can't find any now.
Car was like new for a few months, driven to and from orlando maybe 4 times, but mostly use it for work to take my daughter to school then it started the check engine light being on, then shortly, car started jerking while parked, or on brake, and the "check stabili track control" light comes on, and then would just turn off. i would start smelling a very strong burnt smell but no oil was falling to the floor, but once i stopped driving there would've smoke everywhere. was told there is a vacuum leak coming from pcv which is built in valve cover...have had valve cover changed 3 times in 3 weeks and each time, it looked like someone died under my hood and bled oil! am told that there is too much pressure coming in and so causes oil to find a way out and leaks it spills it slashes, and it's a mystery! also, there is another leak that all of a sudden strated from the side of the engine! when doing my research, there are soooooo many people with the same problems! this needs to be some sort of recall. please help!
The valve cover and pcv valve leaks air bad and is defective. it constantly causes surging and multiple obd codes and the stabili/trac to flash and the radio to flash off and on. it idles rough and shuts off rough too. the gas mileage isn't as good as it should and the power isn't as good as it should. there should be a recall on this known defective pcv valve cover to be fixed
Dangerous to drive this car 2012 chevy cruz. my cc 12 decided to jerk, shake, all panels starting flashing, shake, make noise and increase speed and then suddenly brakes kick in and it stopped in the middle lane of i95. becus powertran is over by 1 year, chevrolet wont do anything about it. they said to take to official chevy dealership. which now incurred a cost of 370 with discount. their rep told me a each time i call tha the powertrain is over however considering the trouble with the vehicle, you are on the perimeters of this. we get the diagnostics and work with you possible picking up some if not all of the cost. no such thing, instead their senior advisor advised me i am [xxx] out of luck on a 6 yrs old car with approx. 79 thousand miles. that's their response. out of car now 11 days, handed a bill for 370.00 to tell me the same thing my mechanic told me. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr
Without any previous problems before this day.. my transmission went out with only 80,000 miles on june 7, 2018. being on a busy 2 lane, curvy highway, my car just completely went out of gear and thankfully i was able cruise off to the side. a few minutes later an alert than came up on my dash and said "transmission hot, idle engine". i had bought this car in 2014 with only one previous owner that took really good care of it. it is ridiculous for my transmission to go out with such low mileage and to have to pay $5,000 for a new one and plus the car payments i still have on it. unfortunately, i am not the only person to have this issue. there are many others. just because they look nice doesn't mean it will last long.
It has been a known issue all over the internet that the 2012 cruise has had a problem with its electrical system. along with myself many others have noted that while driving the cars electrical system goes out disabling the power steering, radio, gas, anything tied in with the electrical system. this has caused many accidents and has nearly caused my significant other and myself on 3 separate occasions to nearly run into a pole or ditch. this is a safety hazard not only to the driver of the vehicle but to other vehicles or pedestrians.
Car does not run right. when accelerating the car does not budge and stalls out. found out if the ac is off it is less likely to stall out after stopping. was told it is a possible clogged catalytic converter. the stabilitrak and traction control wanings pop up. took it to auto zone and they told me it was bad gas. something is off and it's not a easy diagnosis.
While driving the radio and other interior lights started flashing on and off. now along with that the check engine light is on, the service stabiltrac is on and it will loose steering assist at times. today it started dying when taking off and at intersections.i have spoken to a few diffrent techs and a couple diffrent shops on this matter and nobody has any answers as to what it is they all have said that they have several doing the same thing and can not figure them out.
