For about a year now my 2014 Chevy Cruze’s steering wheel will lock up for a few seconds while I am driving (at speeds up to 80MPH) - which is extremely dangerous. When this happens, several lights will then pop up on my dashboard and messages are shown saying “service power steering” “service traction control”. The radio turns off, the lights inside the car turn off, and the back up camera stops working. The engine light has been on and will not go off. I have already replaced the transmission and the starter as well as the fuel pump. I was told by my mechanic to just get rid of the car as it has way too many issues to even attempt repairing. I once ran over a curb and popped a tire when the steering wheel locked up. Every time I start my car there is a message that say “roll down driver window and roll back up” which I do not understand. This seems to be happening to several people. I am very disappointed and scared to be driving this car.

This car is crazy. Starts on its own if key left in ignition. Radio goes on and off constantly. Power steering tries to go out. Lights up like a christmas tree. I fear for my life and it needs a recall.

It looses power. All dash lights flash on and off while driving, the radio turns on and off and the car looses power steering while driving (this is major and I've had a few scary moments while turning). At times the key will get stuck in the ignition and it will not start. The only way to get the key out is to pop the hood and jiggle the battery cable, it will then release the key. All these issues happen daily. I have no warning lights that stay on consistently.*dt

I will be driving when all of the lights on my dash start going on and off , power service track shows up, my radio will shut off and it becomes a black screen. I will be driving or stopped at a red light or turning and the car will actually completely turn off and start coasting. If I am at a stop light I will than have to put the car into park and then turn the key to start the engine again. I have had to jump my car numerous time to where I keep a portable jump in my car. My key will get locked in the ignition and I have to stick a wrench under the steering wheel to get it out. I have replaced my alternator and my battery was so swollen I had to replace that as well. The wiring was replaced to connect the battery and alternator and I just had the bcm replaced. I'm still having all these issues after all these repairs. This has been happening since november of last year and it happens every time I drive my car!

My vehicle for the last year has been having some engine issues where it will lock up on me I can't get my key out of the ignition and all the lights will start going off saying it needs service and then it will stop and go back to the regular odometer. I've kept up with my oil changes I've kept up with any service that needs to be done on my vehicle but today my engine completely shut down when I started to run my air conditioning. Usually I can get under the hood and wiggle some wires and then things will go back to the way that it was but lately my car has been shutting off on me while I'm driving and I had a service appointment for next week to go and see a professional to get under the hood to see what was going on I figured it was probably just another oil change it is about that time, but I was on my way to a friend's wedding and I had to stop and when I stop my car did not cut back on I pop the hood and wiggled some wires like I usually do but there was no activity whatsoever underneath the hood. I started thinking to myself maybe I should put some oil in it but I don't want to ruin my engine and I started thinking maybe I need some antifreeze but again and I'm not a mechanic so I don't want to assume and then do something to make things a lot worse but today my engine completely shut down on me and I had to wait in the heat for over an hour to get a jump.
