2013 Chevrolet Cruze steering complaints
Page 2 of 4: complaints 11 to 40 of 74, newest first, as owners wrote them.
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.
The car would become hard to steer and control. Abs and traction control in stability control warning lights flashing. This happens without warning can happen at any speed highway ore city. The times this has occurred was on the highway. (this is a tsb I later found but the could easily caused a crash on accident)

For some reason when I drive my car it starts shaking sometimes it happens when I start driving or when I brake I tried to find the problem and it looks that it is the drive shaft. I though that it is something that only happened to me but I found out that there are more cars involved in that but my chevy cruze 2013 looks like it is not not one of those. What can I do about it ?
While making right turn in city, car jerked, almost lost control and "service power steering" light came on, then car recovered and was driven home
Vehicle shuts off while driving losing complete power and steering! So dangerous and deadly! Taking the car in today, car also riding rough and misfiring. All maintenance done every 3,000 miles. This car has had one problem after another and this last one could have killed my teenager daughter! It stopped on her 5 times on the freeway!
I was making a left turn and the steering wheel locked and the radio turned off, I barely made it before getting hit. The steering wheel unlocked and I turned into the first place I could. I turned the car off and tried to start it but the brake was locked and nothing was turning on when I pushed the button. Tried a few times and nothing. While sitting there for about 5 minutes the whole dash came on and I was able to start the car. The radio had been turning on and off a few times on this drive before this happened. But the radio has been doing this for some time .
Steering randomly completely locked in motion. Seemingly random electrical problem remedied on its own and required service technician to check it out to asses safety. Cant be sure of the safety of my vehicle now.
Car wouldn't start. Got a "service steering column lock" on the dash. Was able to start the car after a period of time. But engine start and stop still sounds bad.
Car shuts off completely.after 10 minutes will restart.steering locks up while drivng.stabli control comes on.loss of almost al l power.happen in driveway.while driving turning .loss of power so that car wont move.
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 chevrolet cruze. While driving approximately 20 MPH, the stability control system warning indicator started to flash and the power steering ability did not respond. The contact regained control after approximately five seconds. The contact stated that the failure occurred approximately ten other times. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing. The manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 79,158.
Power steering went out while making a turn in a parking lot and both power steering light, and stabili trak light came on. I could barely control the steering wheel. Later that day car was back to normal.
The dealer says that the right cv joint is leaking. Also my steering wheel has a small catch in it when we are driving, wondering if these are related?
I was driving home from the store and the "service power steering" light came on and I lost power steering. The stabilitrak light was also on. It was very difficult to steer the car home. I took the car to the dealer and they tell me they can't find anything wrong with the car. They are going to keep it another day to see if they can make the code come up, but if it doesn't then I get to drive a car that can crash because of power steering failure. This is extremely dangerous to have the steering go out while driving. Gm needs to find out why this is happening and fix it.
My chevy cruze stability track control system malfunctions and my car loses power and I lose steering control and must pull over on the freeway. It has happened 5 times. Plus my stereo goes out. My chevy dealer said it is not covered because my warranty has expired. Must pay over $400 to repair the faulty indicator. This is a huge safety problem because it can happen when I am on the freeway going 65 MPH and my car decelerates down to 40 MPH and I could crash? It has happened twice on the freeway and three times on the city street.

While driving, power steering locked up, car turned off and then back on. The radio turned off and then back on and close driver window lit up. This has happened on 4 different occasions now. Steering locked up while on I-95. Radio on and off while turning onto highway and window message while car was stationary.
While driving to work on the highway my radio will turn off and on multiple times and my stability control will turn off and it will be hard to turn the vehical. A warning comes on the information screen saying check stability control and also check power steering. It has happened multiple times it have happened today as well as I was driving on the feeder

Roughly 6 weeks after purchasing this vehicle, I started having incidents where the radio would cut out for 2-3 seconds and the infotainment screen would go blank. At the same time, the "service stabilitrak" message momentarily appears on the instrument panel. There isn't a trend to when this happens. Sometimes it won't happen for a week, other times it will happen multiple times in a single drive. Last week, this happened and I also lost power steering and could not steer for what felt like a couple seconds. Based on the chevrolet cruze customer forum, this is a fairly common problem and other's have also lost power steering pulling out of a parking lot. There is not a recall for my specific vehicle or a permanent corrective action that I've found. It has become a safety concern and gm should take responsibility and recall the affected vehicles before power steering is lost at higher speeds.
While driving the vehicle power stability flashes the electrical system resets and if driving you lose control of the vehicle.
Lately I've been noticing the touch screen radio to flicker and completely lose power. I figure it was just a glitch with the all the technology that this car has. Well, the service antitheft deterrent system continues to come on, but goes away. Car is fine. Last saturday my car wouldn't start until the 3rd try. The car completely shut off, absolutely no power, key wouldn't come out of the ignition. After 15 minutes it started, the radio flicker. On my way to work, the radio kept cutting out then as I was slowing down to turn, my steering and brakes gave out, nearly causing a huge collision! This seems to be a very common thing with the 2013 cruze lt. Chevy needs to do something! I do not feel safe in this car anymore! No one seems to know the problem? It's life or death here, I travel a lot for work and get on busy highways. How many injuries or deaths do you need to correct this major problem?
2013 chevrolet cruze electrical hazard which happens mostly during the rain or wet roads occasionally while dry. Main problem radio power and dash power cut in and out and or fluctuate while driving and or applying brakes. The electronic power steering will, most of the time, cut in and out also while turning turning key off and on again while stationary may for a short time fix this problem however it is not a perm any soulution only temporary and my also result in a total no power/ no start condition for the vehical possible cause is leak in the car or shield is not properly protection electronics/wiring on the vehical
Steering locked up while driving down road. Causing an accident. While driving at about 35mph. Steering wheel locked up on me and I could not turn at a curve causing me to slam on brakes and slid off of a dirt road into a ditch and tree lined area. Do have police report as well.
I was turning when the information center went blank and the service power steering light came on. It became very difficult to steer the car. I pulled over, turned the car off, looked unset the hood. When I restarted it was fine. Sporadically over the past several months the info center would blip out and the service stabilitrak light would come on. The dealer could never replicate the issue. It never involved the steering until now.
