Tl* the contact owned a 2015 chevrolet cruze. While driving at 40 MPH and attempting to turn the vehicle, the steering wheel seized. The contact crashed into a telephone pole. The front end of the vehicle caught fire and the air bags deployed. The fire department extinguished the fire. The origin of the fire was not determined. A fire report was filed. The contact sustained a contusion to the chest. The rear passengers and driver sustained concussions to the head. Medical attention was required.
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.
