So yesterday night I was at walmart and I had the car idling while putting stuff in the car the interior lights dimmed and there was a rattle that came from underneath the car right after the car stalled out twice, I had interior lights on but no power to the engine just sitting and once I started driving it didn't stall out on highway, but there is a possibility of this happening at a stop sign or traffic light, but again no check engine light, wondering if you can research into this? seems to be a reoccurring situation.

THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS. OVERALL, MAY SOUND INSIGNIFICANT, BUT THE (WORKING??) TURN SIGNALS IS A SAFETY ISSUE!!

WHEN I DRIVE MY VEHICLE MY BRAKES WORK FINE MOST OF THE TIME. FROM TIME TO TIME WHEN I'M AT A RED LIGHT THE PEDAL WILL SLOWLY START TO GO ALL THE WAY DOWN AND CAR WILL START MOVING FORWARD. I HAVE TO RELEASE IT AND QUICKLY PUMP THE BRAKE AGAIN TO STOP IT. THEN THIS HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN JUST A FEW TIMES; WHEN PULLING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT ON REVERSE MY BRAKES WON'T RESPOND AND THE CAR WILL JUST GO BACKWARDS AND I HAVE TO PULL THE EMERGENCY BRAKE BECAUSE THERE IS NO OTHER WAY OF STOPING IT. NOW I DO NOT WANT TO HIT ANY VEHICLE OR PERSON!!!! I HAVE TAKEN IT IN TO SHOPS TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT BUT NO ONE SEAMS TO FIND THE PROBLEM, BECAUSE APPARENTLY THE BREAKERS HAVE NO VISIBLE ISSUES. ALSO ONE REVERSE LIGHT IF NOT BOTH AT TIMES, WILL STAY ON WHILE DRIVING.

DRIVING HOME AT 9PM ON A HIGH SPEED/TRAFFIC HIGHWAY, WE HAD ALL ELECTRICITY/STEERING SUDDENLY GO OUT, THEN WHEN IT CAME BACK ON POPPED UP WITH A "SERVICE STABILITRAK " MESSAGE. LUCKILY, IT CAME BACK ON BEFORE A WRECK BUT SCARED ALL OF US TO PIECES. THE CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN AT THE POSTED 70MPH SPEED LIMIT, BUT STARTED TO DECELERATE WHEN POWER WAS LOST. THIS HAPPENED ON 07/08/19. TODAY, 07/11/19 WE HAD TO JUMP THE CAR AND THE TURN SIGNALS NO LONGER DO THE LITTLE "CLICK" NOISE, AND THE DASH SCREEN/BACKUP CAMERA WON'T COME ON, ALTHOUGH THE RADIO STILL SOMEHOW WORKS. ALSO ON LUNCH BREAK TODAY, CAR WAS DEAD, KEY WOULDN'T COME OUT OF THE IGNITION TILL THE CAR WAS JUMP STARTED. AS THIS SEEMS TO BE A MAJOR ISSUE WITH THE CAR, WHY HASN'T IT BEEN RECALLED?

Jun 26, 2014
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2013-2014 Chevrolet Cruze vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the driver's front air bag inflator may have been manufactured with an incorrect part.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the driver's air bag, the air bag's inflator may rupture and the air bag may not inflate. The rupture could cause metal fragments to strike and potentially seriously injure the vehicle occupants. Additionally, if the air bag does not inflate, the driver is at an increased risk of injury.
Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the driver side air bag, free of charge. The recall began on June 28, 2014. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020. GM's number for this recall is 14305.
Mar 31, 2014
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2013 and 2014 Chevrolet Cruze vehicles equipped with a 1.4L turbo engine, and manufactured between November 28, 2012, and March 7, 2014. On the affected vehicles, the right front half shaft may fracture and separate.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the half shaft fractures and separates while driving, the vehicle would lose power and coast to a stop. If a vehicle with a fractured half shaft is parked without the parking brake applied, the vehicle could move unexpectedly. Either condition increases the risk of a crash.
Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the right half shaft, as needed, free of charge. Parts for the remedy are not currently available. GM will send an interim letter to owners in May 2014. A second owner letter will be mailed when parts are available. Owners may contact Chevrolet at 1-866-694-6546. GM's number for this recall is 14079. This is an expansion of recall 13V-452. NOTE: Some vehicles subject to this recall were subject to the recall campaign initiated in 2013. Some of those vehicles were repaired using defective parts. Those owners will be advised that they must have their vehicles remedied again under this campaign and that having the earlier recall completed did not remedy their vehicles.
Feb 21, 2014
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2014 Buick Regal, LaCrosse, Verano, and Enclave, and Chevrolet Impala, Malibu, Cruze, and Traverse, and GMC Acadia vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions. In the affected vehicles, the transmission shift cable adjuster may disengage from the transmission shift lever. As such, these vehicles do not conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 102, "Transmission Shift Lever Sequence, Starter Interlock, and Transmission Braking Effect." They also fail to conform to FMVSS number 114, "Theft Protection and Rollaway Prevention."
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If a vehicle's shift cable disengages from the transmission shift lever, a driver may be unable to shift gear positions and the indicated shift position may not represent the gear position the vehicle is in. Should a disengagement occur while the vehicle is being driven, when the driver goes to stop and park the vehicle, the driver may be able to shift the lever to the "PARK" position, but the vehicle transmission may not be in the "PARK" gear position. If the vehicle is not in the "PARK" position there is a risk the vehicle will roll away as the driver and other occupants exit the vehicle or anytime thereafter. A vehicle rollaway increases the risk of injury to exiting occupants and bystanders.
Remedy: General Motors will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace any affected transmission shift cable adjusters, free of charge. The recall began on April 10, 2014. Chevrolet owners may contact General Motors at 1-800-222-1020, Buick owners at 1-800-521-7300, and GMC owners at 1-800-462-8782. General Motors' number associated with this recall is 14048.

General Motors (GM) is recalling certain model year 2013 and 2014 Chevrolet Cruze vehicles equipped with manual transmissions (MF3/MR5) and manufactured January 24, 2013, through August 1, 2013. On the affected vehicles, the right front half shaft may fracture and separate.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the half shaft fractures and separates while driving, the vehicle would lose power and coast to a stop. If a vehicle with a fractured half shaft is parked without the parking brake applied, the vehicle could move unexpectedly. Either condition increases the risk of a crash.
Remedy: General Motors has notified owners. Dealers will replace the half shaft assembly, free of charge. The safety recall began on October 15, 2013. Owners may contact General Motors at 1-800-521-7300. This is General Motors campaign number 13276.
