January 2016 CrashFireInjury

Since owning my new 2015 cruze I have had several concerns which have not been addressed of fixed by the technicians the list is: while traveling down the road my radio system has blacked out; shut off and restarted itself; it happens every other time I am in the car, sometime it happens several time on a long drive. I have also experience drifting of the car when traveling down the highway; when I correct the drift the steering wheel is stiff and causes an over correction pulling me the other direction.
