Description of the problem	Several times now (usually after it rains but persisting long after) i have been having electrical problems with my 2012 chevy cruze. At random, the radio loses power and may come back on automatically or flicker continuously. It occasionally happens when i press the brake, use the turn signal, or roll down the window. About every 3rd time on average that i have noticed this i also see a message come across the display that says "service stabilitrak" or other random messages or dash lights. Once the "power steering" notification came on and i could feel the car lose power steering for only a moment. One other thing that has happened was that my horn sounded all on it's own when the radio flickered. I called my dealership and they had me bring my car in for testing after this first happened. They were unable to find anything wrong with my car, and after they performed these tests my car did not malfunction again for quite a while. It is scary driving down the road when this happens because i don't know if i am losing power to the headlights/tail lights when this is happening, and since it happens at random i can't just ask someone if it is happening. Glad to see other people are having this problem, because the people at the car dealership looked at me like i was insane :/ please help gm, please find what is causing these short circuits and issue a recall!

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
