Description of the problem | I purchased a used chevy cruze, previous rental, from the chevy dealer about a month ago. Within the past week i began to have intermittent electrical issues, which started with the radio panel light flashing on and off and the radio would also turn off for several mins at a time. Today the electrical problems progressed greatly, impacting the power stealing and i lost power steering completely while driving. In addition, multiple warning signals began to flash: power steering, stabilink, brakes and security traction control. This happened while driving, thankfully i was going at a very low speed otherwise this could have been a potential serious and dangerous situation as i briefly lost control of the car and almost crashed at 10mph (or less.) thankfully i was already on my way to the dealer (1 miles away) for an appointment for servicing that i had previously scheduled due to this issue. Once i got to the dealer they were able to see the issues first hand. I turned off the car and then this car completely died. I left the car at the dealer and hope this issue is resolved and the car is safe to drive. Honesty, i am very nervous to drive the car in fear that the car is unsafe and these issues will continue. |
