While driving and in motion the vehicle shuts off. after shutting off the abs malfunctions and the steering malfunctions. this has happened twice now, both on city streets. once disabled the vehicle will not restart on it's own; it doesn't even turn over. the vehicle will, however, restart if jump started. the first occurrence presented with a check engine light that coded as a faulty cam shaft sensor. this was replaced and the check engine light went away. the second occurrence presented with no lights or warnings. both the battery and alternator were tested and are functioning.
I bought a 2016 chevrolet cruz ng on september 7, 2016. on september 10, 2019, i took my vehicle to the chevrolet agency to check the water filtering of the 3 light stop of the car, it leaked water again after the repair of the recall n162064340 . on this visit i was notified that the car had a recall of the steering system (recall n182201620) which presents a failure in the packaging of the steering box causing moisture to enter the part and deactivate the power steering. after checking the car the agency indicated that there was no problem with the steering system and the agency closed the recall n182201620. on november 5, 2019, when i started my vehicle and put it in drive, the steering system was deactivated, preventing me from turning, i immediately stopped the vehicle, and the board threw a message 'the power steering has been deactivated, drive with caution', the steering wheel is completely hard and it is not possible to manipulate it. i contacted the agency and the car was towed to the chevrolet workshop at my cost, the agency analyzed the fault and responded that it was not related to recall ...
First the car shaked while we were waiting at a traffic light on a city street. then we went to drive into a tunnel and i could not accelerate, we had to roll down the hill to keep moving. then the brakes would not work properly. the car said service brake assist, i had to step very hard on the brake pedal repeatedly to try to stop the car from hitting the car in front of us. once we stopped again the car seemed like it had died. i tried to accelerate by stepping fully on the pedal and nothing. then i put the car in park and tried to turn off the car but that did not work either. it was not until the 3rd time of trying to turn the car off that the vehicle actually turned off. we were able to turn the car back on and at first nothing happened, but then the car started to work again. we found on google that i should not let the car go back into auto-stop in the hope that this would not occur again since we were getting on interstate 95.
I was travelling on the interstate at about 50 mph when traffic came to a sudden stop. i slammed on my brakes in plenty of time, but i rear-ended the van in front of me. at the time i thought i must have skidded into the van, but looking at the collision site later, there were no tire marks.
Was getting ready to leave the house to go to the store brake pedal became hard after starting the engine. feels like the brake has a loss of the power assist. after starting the car, put it in drive, release the brake, vehicle begins to move, apply brake, brake pedal was very hard with excessive force needed to stop the vehicle. this just happened out of no where. i have done some research and found the same thing occurred on 2013-2014 models.

When backing my daughters car out of our driveway, the brake pedal became hard and the car would not stop. there was a recall for her car for this exact same issue, but when i put the vin number in for her car, it was not included in the recall. i am afraid to let her drive the car due to this issue.

Brakes will occasionally not respond to normal pressure when stepping on the brake pedal. i notice that the issue happens sporadically, whether i am on the freeway or surface streets. there seems to be pressure built up and i have to step a lot harder on the brake pedal. i know from looking up forums that there was a recall on the 2012 automatic cruze, but mine is a 6 speed manual. i know the recall was for a microswitch on the brake vacuum booster. the nhtsa recall number is 13v360000. i am worried for my families safety seeing that i have 2 teenage sons, my wife and i who are able to drive the car.
