2013 Chevrolet CRUZE Electrical System Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1370441
Internal NHTSA #	10972062
Manufacurer	General Motors LLC
Brand	CHEVROLET
Model	CRUZE
Model Year	2013
File date	06/04/17
Component	ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	"service side detection system" error messages - 2 body modules bad and already replaced once. Module failure causes additional cascading failures throughout the rest of the system and affects dash controls/turn-signals, mpg, fuel calculations & now "my link" screen blank with "service parking asst message on dash. Since mylink screen dead, radio dials/controls do not work and cannot see/control heating controls and navigation screen dead as well. These same two side modules were already replaced once under warranty, but since vehicle is now over on mileage, i am left on my own to pay for repairs. Modules get basically one winter season here in the northeast and need to be replaced. Malfunctions cause cascading failures throughout rest of electrical system and make certain vehicle systems and safety functions inoperable. I contacted gm customer care and basically they said there is no assistance available because it is "not a known concern" on this vehicle. Module location is behind rear wheels in bumper cover area, and are open to the elements and poorly sealed. Water/salt water seemingly easily penetrates these modules and causes them to fail. Because they are directly tied into the rest of the electrical system, when they do fail it causes cascading failures throughout the rest of the system seemingly at random. (some of the systems are critical to vehicle safety and operation.
