2015 Chevrolet Cruze

MY DASHBOARD LIGHTS BEGIN FLASHING, THE RADIO TURNS OFF, THE BLINKER SOUND STOPS WORKING, THE ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM, SERVICE TRACTION SYSTEM, SERVICE STABILITRAC AND STEERING VEHICLE MESSAGES FLASH ON THE DASHBOARD. I SAW THIS ISSUE REPORTED IN A GM BULLETIN HTTPS://STATIC.NHTSA.GOV/ODI/TSBS/2015/SB-10057574-8899.PDF BUT MY DEALERSHIP SAID MY CAR ISN'T AFFECTED EVEN THOUGH IT IS THAT YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL AND THE SAME EXACT THINGS ARE HAPPENING. IT HAPPENS WHEN I AM DRIVING, IT STARTED OFF ONCE OR TWICE A TRIP, NOW IT IS CONSTANTLY HAPPENING SO MUCH SO I CANNOT EVEN LISTEN TO MUSIC. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN MORE OFTEN WHEN I AM IN STOP/GO TRAFFIC.

SERVICE STABILITRAK ERROR APPEARS ON DASH AND THE RADIO/TOUCH SCREEN TURNS OFF THREE TIMES IN 90 MINS. CHEVY DEALER SAYS MY VIN IS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH SPECIAL COVERAGE [XXX] WHICH COVERS THE NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE ON OTHER 2015 CHEVY CRUZES.

CHEVY CRUZE BATTERY CABLE RECALL - SB-10057574-8899 "ON CERTAIN 2011'2015 MODEL YEAR CHEVROLET CRUZE VEHICLES, THE NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE TERMINAL CLAMP MAY HAVE AN INSUFFICIENT CRIMP AT THE BATTERY NEGATIVE TERMINAL. OVER TIME, THE INTERNAL RESISTANCE INCREASES AND VEHICLE ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS DO NOT RECEIVE ADEQUATE POWER. WITH THIS CONDITION, THE FOLLOWING EFFECTS ARE POSSIBLE: THE RADIO/HVAC DISPLAY MAY TURN OFF AND ON; THE ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM, SERVICE TRACTION SYSTEM, SERVICE STABILITRAC AND STEERING VEHICLE MESSAGES MAY COME ON AND OFF; THE TURN SIGNAL SOUND MAY NOT BE HEARD; 'BATTERY SAVER ACTIVE' AND 'SERVICE STEERING' MAY DISPLAY IN THE DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER (DIC); AND THE INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR LIGHTING MAY FLICKER. POWER STEERING ASSIST MAY ALSO BE LOST, AND GREATER EFFORT MAY BE NEEDED TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL AT LOW SPEEDS OR WHILE THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED.

WHILE DRIVING & IN STOPPED POSITION AT LIGHT THE RADIO WILL INTERMITTENTLY TURN OFF & BACK ON AT ANY GIVEN MOMENT. I JUST PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NOT EVEN 1 1/2 MOS. AGO. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING APPROXIMATELY ONCE OR TWICE EVERY WEEK FOR ABOUT 4 WEEKS NOW.I HAVE TRIED TO LOOK FOR SOME SOLUTION TO THIS & HAVE RESEARCHED BUT THERE HAD BEEN VAGUE INFORMATION OR NO ANSWER AT ALL . I HAVE NOTICED THAT IT HAS BEEN AN ONGOING SITUATION THAT HAD BEEN INDICATED IN HERE BUT HAS THERE'S BEEN ANY RESOLUTION TO THE MATTER? I DON'T THINK I SHOULD HAVE TO BE CONCERNED WITH THIS WHOLE EITHER DRIVING OR AT A STOP LIGHT THAT THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WILL GO OUT, IF ANY AT ALL. I HOPE SOME KIND OF RESOLUTION OR RECALL WILL BE DONE FOR THIS, TOO ME, A MAJOR PROBLEM.

CAR IS IN FOR SERVICE FOR 3RD TIME -- INTERMITTENT ELECTRICAL PROBLEM CAUSING LOSS OF TRANSMISSION (I.E. REVS THEN DROPS IN AND OUT OF GEAR); DRIVER DISPLAY WARNINGS INCLUDE SERVICE STABILITRAK, SERVICE POWER STEERING, SERVICE TRANSMISSION. POWER DOOR LOCKS ALSO OPERATE ON THEIR OWN. INSTRUMENT CLUSTER GAUGES WILL DROP TOWARDS THEIR OFF POSITION, THEN RESUME NORMAL POSITION DURING THESE EVENTS. IF THE CAR IS SHUT OFF, SOMETIMES A "NO START" CONDITION WILL OCCUR WHEN THE KEY IS TURNED TO THE START POSITION, GAUGES WILL OPERATE NORMAL EVEN WITH NO START CONDITION. AFTER RAPIDLY CYCLING THE KEY OFF/ON/START POSITION FOR SOMETIMES UP TO 30 TIMES, CAR HAS ALWAYS EVENTUALLY STARTED. SOMETIMES CONDITION HAS CLEARED, OTHER TIMES TRANSMISSION IS STUCK IN A GEAR (3RD FOR PREVIOUS DEALERSHIP VISIT, 4TH FOR CURRENT VISIT) BUT NOT IN A LIMP HOME MODE AS FULL ENGINE POWER IS AVAILABLE. MANUAL SHIFTING IS NOT PERMITTED, "SHIFT DENIED" APPEARING ON THE DRIVER DISPLAY. VERY CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY AS DEALERSHIP CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT TRANSMISSION WILL NOT DROP INTO LOWER GEAR AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. IF THE TRANSMISSION WERE TO SUDDENLY DROP INTO 3RD AT 75 MPH WITH NO APPLICATION OF THE BRAKES, THE CAR BEHIND ME MAY NOT BE ABLE TO REACT TO THE SUDDEN DROP IN MY VEHICLE'S SPEED. CONDITION HAS HAPPENED WHEN VEHICLE AND COMPONENTS ARE HOT, SUCH AS AFTER HIGHWAY/CITY DRIVING FOR 2 HOURS.
