Nox position 1 sensor went bad. it was recalled on other chevy cruze diesel vins but mine was not recalled and it went bad i took it to the dealer for a check engine light and they told me it was a nox sensor but that it was not recalled on my vin so it was not covered
It starts on its own
When the car is in the park position and the key is in the ignition switch in the off position, the engine will randomly begin to start. sometimes, if the key is not in the ignition switch and touches the opening of the ignition switch the car engine will begin to start. i think it's a faulty ignition switch.
Was driving on the freeway exiting the offramp that curves to the right. when i turned the steering wheel it locked up and the stereo turned off. i had no control over the direction my vehicle was traveling. i applied my brake, to keep from hitting another vehicle. when i pressed my brake the steering wheel unlocked briefly then locked again. then a yellow ⚠️ warning light illuminated and my car began to pull to the right. the stereo powered on and the steering wheel returned to normal. the yellow warning ⚠️ light turned off. i continued to travel another 1.5-2 miles more to my home and it happened again. this time a green dash light illuminated and said service power steering. i parked my car at that point. i am contacting the dealership to make arrangements for repair. the reason why i am filing a complaint is because of the danger associated with this type of malfunction. it put my life and other drivers life is at stake. this is not an acceptable way for a vehicle to function. this is not the only time i've had an electrical issue with my vehicle. in october 2018 after driving ...
Everything on the dash shut off. heat and air shut off. service stability track warning comes on. engine fan running all the time. steering locks.
Sometimes while driving, if you hit the brake or hit the window switch, the power to the radio panel and drivers display will cut off, sometimes the "service stabilitrac" signal will come up and the power will come back on after a few seconds, when this happens it will also cut power to the power steering, if you are not prepared for it or your not aware of the situation it can surprise you, it can be especially startling while turning and all of a sudden power cuts out and you have trouble steering, the car will stay running and the power will cut for a few seconds, and then everything will go back to normal. looking online this seems to be a common issue with the earlier chevy cruz. i am just not sure of the full extent of the issue.
All the sub-systems on the 2014 chevy cruze are controlled through the radio system. when backing up, the backup camera, which is displayed through the radio entertainment screen, does not engage. several of the other sub-systems, including the ac, the radio itself, and other systems are also intermittent while driving the car. in order to reset the system the car has had to be pulled over to the side of the road and turned off completely, let sit for several minutes, and the restarted. after doing so the system has reset, but has done the same thing days or weeks later. after bringing the car in to the dealer over four time the problems have yet to be resolved.
I was driving on 65 s and i lost all power to my car, my car is having a hard time starting. went to have my starter tested and wasnt that, it's my battery and the cables. car is unsafe to be driving and all cruze should have a recall on them. my battery light will come on then a message will pop us saying power steering
The page previous to this one would not let my check every box (3 max), the other things i would have checked that were affected are -lighting -speed control -steering -wiper -traction pictures show these two signals that pop up "service stabilitrak" and "service traction control". whilst im driving some come things start to happen; the radio/ dash stereo will flicker on and off- all noise stops (any music or blinkers), the heater/ ac wil stop blowing if it is on. sometimes when this happens my power steering will also go out, jerking the steering wheel while im driving, and happens alot when im turning (very scary). the dash will also flicker with abs, brake, traction, lights. some days it will happen very frequently ,other days it will only happen a couple times. i am uncertain what i am doing that is making it act this way. when i am at a stoplight, or drive thru and the same thing as above happens my engine will suddenly shut off while my windshield wipers activate out of no where- very startling (this has happened while my gear shift was in park and while ...
The car was being driven from one state to the next. it was a two in a half hour drive. not even a hour into it the check engine light came on. the we made sure to check everything before we left home. it was fine. than the auto start wouldn't work. allied on start and they said you should be able to. but i can't. than it started making this weird sound whenever i drive. i went to autozone and they said there's nothing caught in it, it's the engine. now whenever i drive and wait at a red light the car starts shaking a lot. it's raining now and i'm scared i my loss control.
Had started noticing that when i would start my car my radio would sometimes take a long time to come on. eventually woke up one day to start my car and it would not start. this should not be happening because the battery is not even a year old. used my portable jumper to charger and took it to get read and it was not the battery. i was told that there was an electrical drain that was still charging my battery even after it was turned off. the second issue is when i am driving and go to give the car gas and the car would not immediately accelerate causing to me to almost be hit twice. i had to give it gas a second time in order for it to accelerate
Driving home at 9pm on a high speed/traffic highway, we had all electricity/steering suddenly go out, then when it came back on popped up with a "service stabilitrak " message. luckily, it came back on before a wreck but scared all of us to pieces. the car was being driven at the posted 70mph speed limit, but started to decelerate when power was lost. this happened on 07/08/19. today, 07/11/19 we had to jump the car and the turn signals no longer do the little "click" noise, and the dash screen/backup camera won't come on, although the radio still somehow works. also on lunch break today, car was dead, key wouldn't come out of the ignition till the car was jump started. as this seems to be a major issue with the car, why hasn't it been recalled?
There is a problem with how the car is communicating with the anti theft system, at least that's what i am suspecting. randomly, when i try to start the car the dashboard lights come on, the radio, and everything else except the engine won't even crank. i've had the basics checked (battery, alternator, starter) and all is well. while it may not seem like a safety issue the car has left me stranded many times. this is an ongoing issue i don't know what to do about this.
Radio screen loses power, goes completely black. music stops playing. warning lights on dash come on. message appears on dash "service stabiltrack" shut off for 1-4 minutes, and then came back on. loss of power steering. happened 7 or 8 times in a 30 minute period.
When i turned off my car and the keys were in the ignition my car tried to start itself...it now does it frequently
