What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 chevrolet captiva. While making a right turn at 30 MPH, all the lights on the instrument cluster illuminated. In addition, the radio and the heating system failed to function as temperature below 40 was displayed across the message board. In addition, the contact had to manually open the doors in order to enter the vehicle. The vehicle also failed to start as the theft alarm independently activated and the emergency brake failed to release.
My 2012 chevy captiva sport shuts off while I'm driving it! My radio turns off and on, so does my A/C. My key gets stuck in the ignition, all dashboard lights come on, dies completely. We've replaced the battery quite a few times within a two year period. It is not the battery. We took it in to a certified chevy dealership for diagnostic test which ended up with zero results. Supposedly the cause of these issues cannot be found. My car has died out on me while I'm driving! I need answers or suggestions a.s.a.p.
