Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | Roughly 6 weeks after purchasing this vehicle, i started having incidents where the radio would cut out for 2-3 seconds and the infotainment screen would go blank. At the same time, the "service stabilitrak" message momentarily appears on the instrument panel. There isn't a trend to when this happens. Sometimes it won't happen for a week, other times it will happen multiple times in a single drive. Last week, this happened and i also lost power steering and could not steer for what felt like a couple seconds. Based on the chevrolet cruze customer forum, this is a fairly common problem and other's have also lost power steering pulling out of a parking lot. There is not a recall for my specific vehicle or a permanent corrective action that i've found. It has become a safety concern and gm should take responsibility and recall the affected vehicles before power steering is lost at higher speeds. |
