I have replaced the pvc valve cover 3times and the engine coolant housing 4 times with in 2years. The vehicle still leaks coolant even though all hoses connections and reservoir has been replaced. The ground cable has been replaced twice. The car warning dash comes on saying "service traction control" abs? The radio shuts off as well as all stereo lighting. When vehicle is at a stop it sometimes kicks, I thought I got tapped from the back that's how much of a jolt it does but no vehicle behind me. It's also sluggish when taking off.

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.

While driving the car on an off ramp the display panel showed 3 warning light, ABS, traction control, and brake. The communication panel, where the speed and all communications about the car are given, then said reduced engine power and my car slowed down and my power steering stopped working. The panel then also said service stabilitrak and service traction control. It has happened more than once since I bought the vehicle and the dealer replaced the the ECM a few years ago and it hasn't fixed the issue as it still occurs. The most recent event happened last week.

I was slowing down for stop light and vehicles in front of me. The vehicles in front of me stopped suddenly, and I pressed on the brake pedal, but the vehicle wasn't slowing/stopping; I then pulled the emergency brake handle and my vehicle stopped, but unfortunately it was too late. I was at least 3-5 car lengths away from the vehicle in front of me. I ended up crushing in the grille in which pushed the radiator back and then it broke the thermostat housing and lost antifreeze soon later when driving; all this because of no brakes, and striking the receiver hitch cover on the vehicle in front of me. All in all $2k in damage to my vehicle, and undriveable. The main brakes didn't react upon pressing, this is way weird since I've owned the vehicle since new, to date never noticed anything out of the ordinary. Now, the weather was "hot", it was around 95f and humid, the pavement was dry without rain. Of course the police officer that did the report said that alot of these minor fender benders happen at this set of stop lights daily/weekly due to the lights being too quick, and distracted in a hurry drivers; and I was just a victim of circumstance, but my brakes failed also. I am a fan of the chevrolet cruze, but "wow" this happened, and possibly the beginning of another recall for a faulty brake/ABS system since the emergency brakes did work (drum brakes). The insurance company did say that the car will be ran throught the shop to check the brake system.

While I was driving, my stereo system would lose all power. My display on the speed display showed "service stabilatrack". My ABS, brake and traction lights came on and continued to blink. I took it back to the place I bought it and they said it didn't trigger a code so they couldn't fix it. I have a video of what happened as well, but it didn't help.
