Radio and dash glitching and indicator muting

Chevrolet Cruze 2011 Turbo 6spd manual 90000 miles
When using the brake or indicator the radio will start glitching aswell as the lights and dash. It’s so annoying I’ve read it could be the negative cable but has anyone else experienced this and fixed it ??

I am having the same issue but also random lights on the dash flashing on and off and some power loss/pull back on the engine. My mechanics having some issues pin pointing the cause. Had a scan done last year and picked up a misfire in one of the cylinders so spark plugs were changed and seemed fine but has started again and the latest scan detected 3 seperate issues. Im suspect its a computer fault or something. Curious to know of any others that may have found a resolution. My mechanic thinks its the gauge cluster but before i allow the repair i want to make sure as its costly. If its just a negative cable that is more an easy and cheaper repair. I have read online of others having issues with the negative battery cable.
Have noticed it does trigger alot when using the indicator or breaking and the radio(have had it turned off for 2 days and hasnt had any issues).
Emily from Australia 8 years ago
Hey ! Yes it’s the negative battery cable as it’s just a glitch mechanics can’t pick up any problems and it never happens when you try to show them! Anyways got my cable replaced and hasn’t happened since :) good luck! X

Check your coolant for oil. Issue with mine was oil in the coolant. Had it repaired and the electronic issues stopped but happened again about 6 months later. Ended up trading it in. My mechanic and also the car yard I traded it to both mentioned it is a very common issue with the cruze.

Engine won't start SolvedSolved

Chevrolet Cruze 2012  5600 miles
It's the second time I have this problem: while using the electronic key I can open the car, but it doesn't start when I press the "start" button, and in the screen I get the text "Error code 67". According to the instructions I tried using the emergency start putting the key in the designated place but nothing changes. The lights in the dashboard won't even turn off. After around 10 minutes, the car starts like nothing happened. I would like to know if anybody else had this problem and knows why it happens and how to fix it. Thank you!

Dear fellows, I also have a Cruze and yesterday the starting system failed because of the Error Code 67 (steering lock) which is related to a switch underneath the steering wheel. They say there are a lot of cases with the same problem. Good luck!
Antoinette from United States 11 years ago
I have fixed my problem with the infamous code 67, it's due to the fact that at some point I forced the steering wheel with the vehicle turned off, and since it is so fragile for being completely electronic, I broke the lock it has. I was forced to buy a new steering wheel lock system.
shay from United States 11 years ago
For me the final solution was to take it to the service and reset the computer, just as they said there when they first saw the error. The problem hasn't appeared again after three months.

Bruce from United States 4 years ago
The issue you're describing with your 2011 Chevrolet Cruze could potentially be caused by a faulty oxygen (O2) sensor or camshaft sensor. The O2 sensor is responsible for monitoring the amount of unburned oxygen in the exhaust and adjusting the air-fuel mixture accordingly. If the O2 sensor is not functioning properly, it can cause a decrease in fuel efficiency and potentially result in the car stalling. Similarly, the camshaft sensor provides information about the position of the camshaft to the engine control module, and if this information is not accurate, it can result in a loss of power and stalling.
To determine the root cause of the issue, I would recommend having the vehicle scanned using a diagnostic code reader. This will retrieve any stored trouble codes in the engine control module, which will provide further information about what may be causing the problem.

ChevyBrat420 from United States 2 months ago
Can't run the air conditioner while driving or the car loses basically all power when having to stop and then started telling me again it takes a minute for to accelerate... Hesitates like crazy sometimes especially when it gets hot if going speeds 45 and up makes a whiny humming constant sound and sometimes when excelling it seems like the tachometer goes up a little too far and it seems like it shifts a little slow. And when going 4550 at sometimes let's talk a burning smell not like oil burning or rubber burning and unexplainable burning smell and the catalytic converter and O2 sensor for both changed about 6 months ago and then check engine light still on for Cadillac converter in my heat up because of excelling it kind of sounds like clicking sound sometimes in a lot of heat coming from under the car and under the hood most of the time can't even pull out the oil dipstick because it's got a lot of suction or it's stuck and it runs really hot from the feel of it and it stays hot after shutting it off for an extremely extremely long time took it to multiple mechanics and garages and everybody had different answers and the valve cover gasket was replaced also like 6 months ago

Check engine code: P0299

Chevrolet Cruze 2015 Sedan, 1.4 T AT 88000 miles
At a speed above 120 km/h, the check engine light comes on and the horse power of the car decreases. During diagnostics, it appears that the turbo does not work, it puts itself into protection mode. This happens with the P0299 error code. Sensing low air pressure in the turbo. Some masters advise me to change the turbo altogether, some tell me to repair the turbo, and some tell me to change the turbo manifold. Considering that Chevrolet parts are expensive in our country, I want to solve this problem with accurate diagnostics at a low budget. The car has been used in Azerbaijan for 4 years

Este veículo dificilmente dá problema na turbina e mais provável tenha algum vazamento nas mangueiras você deveria primeiro verificar se não tem vazamento de pressão nas mangueira depois verifique se a West gate está vedando também pode ser isso. E depois dessas verificações retire a turbina verifique se o rotor da turbina está ok. Se estiver tudo ok considere trocar a turbina ou recondicionar.

ABS indicator

Chevrolet Cruze 2010  70210 miles
When driving at 50 mph, suddenly the ABS indicator turned on, I turned off the engine and, when starting it again, the indicator was no longer there. One week later, the ABS appeared again. Suspension, brake pads, wheel hubs and drum brakes have been checked but no failure has been found. It was scanned and the failure was indicated to be in the left front ABS sensor, so it was changed but, two days later, the indicator appeared once more. When scanned, the same failure is indicated, so it the left sensor was replaced again and that same day the ABS indicator turned on. I would like to remark that once the indicator appears, I turn off the engine, start it again and it is not there any more. Does anyone have any idea what might be happening?

My car keeps going into low power mode

Chevrolet Cruze 2015 1.8l 80000 miles
I start my car, drive for 2 blocks and it goes into reduced power mode. I changed the negative cable wire, changed the crankshaft position sensor; both camshaft position sensors, and tested the ignition switch, but when the car was off, the dash abd everything would go crazy sometimes abd stay on…. So i tested the brown wire under the ignition and with the car off and keys out there was a voltage reading of about 5 volts…In order to get that voltage to 0, I had to pull this yellow fuse, circled in red, and the 5 volts disappeared

Airbag indicator light comes on

Chevrolet Cruze 2012 ECO 78000 miles
The airbag light will come on. I cancel it out by the menu button on the blinker lever but then it will come back on again so I cancel it out again and sometimes when it's real cold out, it won't be on as soon as I start my car but after a while, while I'm driving it will come on and won't go off until I turn it off with the menu button. I'm not a mechanic but I think it could be effecting my remote start cause when it's been sitting in the cold when I'm not driving it or if it's raining real hard in the summer, my remote start won't work on my keyfob.

Over heating sensor problem?

I got a 2013 Chevy Cruze mine stuttered too at one point I would check your coil pack because if one of those things goes out I will make your car misfire and stutter that’s what my issue was.

A/C auto disabled and fan constantly runs

Chevrolet Cruze 2011  110000 miles
The display says the AC is turned off because it’s too hot. However, it says this when I first start the vehicle. The fan also immediately starts running, and when I turn the engine off after driving, the fan stops, it doesn’t continue to run as if the engine is overheating. I have no signs of the engine overheating.
The temperature gauge constantly stays at C, it does not ever deviate away from it. I checked my radiator fluid and it was dry. I filled it up and it is at the same level and hasn’t moved since which was about 10 days ago.

Rough idle at idle, but fine when driving; acceleration feels sluggish; suction when removing the dipstick; slight fuel smell. My theory is either PCV, spark plugs, or coil packs. I've ordered an OBD scanner, but want an opinion.
