Description of the problem | I am filing a complaint on a 2012 chevrolet cruz ls, that i purchased at cowboy motors. I purchased this vehicle on june 07, 2013,it had 46211 miles and it now has 49789 miles. Recently, my wife noticed the radio would cut off and a month ago she told me about an issue dealing with the steering. She said it would get hard to control and sometimes almost impossible. Also, the dash indicator light came on symbolizing that we needed to check the steering. I begin to drive the car to see what was happening, nothing happened, until about 10 days ago it happen to me. I have called the dealership and asked if there has been any problems listed with the steering, i was told no but i should bring it in since i had a extended warranty and it would cost a $50 deductible if the warranty covered it. I got on the internet and found out that there is a list of people with the same problem as ours. I am fearful for my wife and grandchildren. I feel that this is a defect in the automobile and something should be done by the dealer or manufacture, to address the problem and from what i read, no one seems to know what the problem is exactly. This is a safety factor issue and my concern is what can i do to get my car fix without it costing me. |
