Driving home from work at 11:15pm on September 8th, nearing the toll plaza in gary, Indiana the car made a sudden sound kindve like a bang, the engine shut off, all the lights on the dash came on, I came to a stop and tried several times to start the vehicle and it would not do anything. Every time I tuned the key to the off position and then turned it to accessory, the dash displays service air bag and service power steering. The windows, door locks, truck release will not work. I had to call my insurance company and set up a tow to get the car back home. I had to be at work at 7am that day, I worked 16 hours, and didn't get home till 1:30am on September 9th. The car is in my driveway, it will not start or even turn over.

Car will turn off while driving. Ive owned this car for a little over a year and just started doing this 5 times in the last 2 weeks. This has happened while on highway in traffic, twice in town in traffic. The car is in motion on the higway when this happened, it also has happened turning onto higway with other cars behind me I almost got rear ended by a car behind me cause the car lost power! it has also turn itself off and on in park. This needs to be fixed before there is a major accident that causes bodly harm!!! this is a safety hazarrd!!! I bought extended warranty on this car. I have an appointment with the dealership July 31st to find the issue. I also have contacted GM. I know that there was a recall for ignition problems concerning this vehilce in 2014, when you pull up my VIN there has been no recall. I am very concerned for my safty in this car. I have had a friend that has a code reader look and it said there is an engine issue"??" I do not want to have to get an attorney involved but I will if this becomes an issue. This is very scary!!!!

It started with the radio turning off while braking and the radio continued to go off and on I contacted GM who claims it's not an electrical defect" first issue the car can be off keys out of ignition and you can press the on button for the radio and it plays? now it's starting to drive funny and most recently it starts with the remote start every time but when I use the key it doesn't always start" this is a huge issue!

For a little over a year, I have experienced the radio shutting off and on, stabilitrak showing as needing service, the car shuddering, and the check engine light coming on. I have brought the car into a mechanic 3 times to determine what may be causing the check engine light to come on, and 3 times the computer says air intake. I have had just about everything changed, check engine light goes off, I drive for about 30 minutes, and it comes back on. Over $700 in replacement parts and labor, and still the problem persists. Today 7/1/2018, I drove down to have the oil changed and for the first time, the engine light has not come on, but now the car does not want to start and sounds like the starter or the battery is dying. This is above and beyond the most frustrating car problem I have every had, and I can't seem to find anyone capable of answering the problems with this car. The electrical problems spring up in the middle of nowhere while driving in town, and it seems to be okay for a few days if you mess with the battery cables, but they have already been replaced once and the problem is back!!!

I have had repeated electrical issues with this car. It started with the radio shutting on & off on its own. Then the stabilitrack started flashing on. The first few times that was all it was, but in the fall of 2017, that sensor would come on & my brakes & steering were affected. In addition, the car will have moments where it blanks out just briefly while driving, usually noticed by the radio going off & on. I have also had the key get locked in the ignition. Yesterday, 6/17/18, I went to start my car in a parking lot & several sensors came up, battery charging system, stabilitrack, & power steering. Car would not start, I kept shutting off the radio, & it would come back on. Car rested for 2 hours & then started again. Once driving, the steering was not right. Took a quarter of a mile of driving before the steering wheel did not pull 1/4 of the way to the left on its own. I have taken this car into the dealer with all of these complaints except the incident yesterday. Their solution has been new battery and new battery cables-twice. In the fall of 2017, I mentioned seeing similar issues online & they dismissed it. I just called about the 6/17/18 issue & I am getting the run-around from them.

I purchased this vehicle used from a dealership 27 days ago. Two days ago I went to restart car after a short drive and the car did not crank, dash remained black, key was stuck in ignition. My daughter in law told me to pop the hood and upon wiggling battery cables freed the key from stuck position and I was able to start the car and drive home. This is when I learned this is not the first time of occurrence. I was hospitalized several days after purchase and my kids used the car. They neglected to tell me twice they lost power while in motion and car shut off. The first time was while exiting off the freeway. The second was while making turn after idling at a red light several minutes. Both times the vehicle power steering ceased and steering became difficult. On another occasion they experienced a no start similar to mine, a short drive, then car was parked and shut off for a short time, no crank at restart, black dash, stuck key. I had previously mentioned to dealer tech that car fails to keep current date and time. Each day I note it has reverted back again to the year 2010 and an incorrect time. A reset like click in engine compartment several minutes after turning off engine is frequently heard. Radio and dash lights have flashed while car is in motion on several occasions now.

Chevy 2014 Cruze has malfunctioning sensors in the bumper of the car.the car gets wet.the sensors shut down and the battery won't charge and the car comes to a complete stop. The solution from G:M is to replace negative battery cable and the sensors and wire harness. How ever they will not issue a recall and this is very dangerous. My daughters battery went dead on the freeway. After research battery was replaced and negative cable replaced but G:M wants $2800 to replace sensors..this car has 52,000 miles on it and it's not safe..G:M admits they upgraded the sensors and harness so it's not supposed to happen again.won't stand behind the original product. These vehicles are in danger of shutting down at any speed and at anytime. At least they should issue a recall on the negative battery cable not a service bulletin #314...

When you are coming to a stop either at a stop light, sign, or yielding off the interstate. The car begins to idle very hard shaking the entire vehicle back and forth. Then it shuts off while the ignition is still running. You literally have to put the car back in park, turn if off then turn it back on to fix the problem. I still do not have a engine light showing there is something wrong with the car. But it is happening more and more.

My display and radio began intermittently flashing off and on. Then my stabilitrak service light began coming on. I have loss of power and am concerned for my safety trying to drive under these conditions. I am contacting the manufacturer who should warranty this manufacturing defect. There are hundreds of complaints on the Chevy forum website. We deserve some sort of help with this and not at our expense. The problem I described happened while stationary and in motion but the loss of power is while driving. I'm concerned about getting hit while driving. Please help.

Heater not working blowing cold air error on dash "A/C off due to engine high temperature" - Crossroads, TX, USA

The car has started starting and shutting off on its own. It's very dangerous since it stated doing this in my attached garage while I slept. My wife is scared of carbon monoxide poisoning. I also fear pumping gas could be dangerous if it started while doing so. I've read online it's very common on the Cruze. I contact GM and they aren't covering it without a recall.
