Thank you! I'm so glad for these KZfaqrs. I've saved so much money on my Cruze by doing the work myself. Keep up the videos its helping a lot.🙂

Thanks for the vlog sir. I own a 2011 1.4 liter 4 cylinder turbo Cruz. No problem with power steering or electric issues but I will say my water outlet housing broke. If u look at your antifreeze reservoir and follow the tubing on left side of reservoir it connects to the water outlet housing. It keeps your car cool a d is made of plastic. Dealer wanted 460.00 to fix I did it myself for 25.00, 2 hours free labor and a sore back. Keeps eyes out for antifreeze on ground.

Have a 2012 Chevy Cruze that did this. Your video made the fix super fast! Thanks!

I had the samething happened to me, when go start my Chevy Cruze 2014 Power Steering light comes on it's seems like the battery is low, but the battery level shows 14% good? I will have my battery check an alternator.

This is why I can appreciate older cars. None of this computerized BS. And you can actually fix them.

Great VIDEO !!! Thanks and yes these new electronic cars is scary.

I have a 2014 Chevy Cruze and the power steering symbol light up and the message display stated my power steering was low. So this only mean it’s the battery? I turned the car off and restarted the car but no light or message reappeared. Also, my cousin was looking for the power steering reservoir and could not find it. I have the first trim line of this Cruze and there’s 7 trim lines, meaning I have the base line. SMH! Thank you for the information.

My 2014 cruze just did this very same thing for the first time tonight. I'm glad I came across your video tho. Thanks!

I just bought an 18 year old car and everything works!! 220k miles and it looks like brand new except for rock chips on the front.

I have a 2013 Chevy Cruze. Last night I was driving back from my college (~30 miles) and right when I was on my straight line to my house my power steering just randomly stopped. Sometimes when I start my car it says “anti theft deterrent system” and sometimes has trouble starting. I hope it’s just the battery

What's the current mileage on your Wife's Cruze as of November 2022, and any recent issues/breakdowns??

I had this same problem with my 14 Cruze. (I had just purchased the car and it had 76k miles.) The first time, I was stranded at a gas station after filling the tank. I asked a gentleman if he had battery cables and could he give me a jump. I popped the hood, checked the position of the battery and cables, don't remember touching anything, got back in the car and the instrument panel was active so I tried to start the car.and was pleasantly surprised when it did. The second time I was driving in the mountains after going thru Salt Lake City when the instrument panel started giving me all kinds of messages for different services needed. Traction control was the most frequent, brakes, tire pressure and power steering, to name a few. Every time I changed lanes I got these messages. Then while I had my turn signal on I got a message that I needed to use my turn signal! THEN I lost power going down a steep grade. No power steering! OMG! I made it and headed for the first service station I saw. I did need brake fluid but the tires were at the correct pressure and the attendant and I searched high and low for the power steering unit so i could fill it with the fluid recommended in the Owner's Manual. Then, reading further , I found that I have power assist electronic steering. When I got back in to leave the station the car would not start and had no power whatsoever. I started checking every connection, but nothing was loose. What the heck??? The car started and I haven't had the problem since. No answers.

I had charging system problems and several other intermittent electrical problems with the instrument cluster of my 2011 Cruze. Instead of replacing costly parts, you should take a look at any of the fuses in both fuse boxes. The factory used fuses having silver plated pins. You will find that 100% of the fuses will have a heavy black coating on their pins. This is silver oxide and that is an electrically non-conductive ceramic material caused by silver being in contact with oxygen in the air and especially hot, damp air. The growth of the Ag2O coating over time is similar to rust on iron containing metal objects. The effect to your car is to fill it with nearly 100 intermittently loose electrical connections and those will confuse the car's software. Gently scrub the silver oxide off using a piece of Scotch Brite pad. Do this to EVERY fuse in both fuse panels and you'll find that scores of INTERMITTENT electronic and electrical problems all over your car will disappear. Partially lift out and then re-seat the relay switches too. This costs nothing but about 1 hour of time. I'm an equipment engineer working with X-ray microscopes. My old Cruze is working perfectly now, even with 190,000 miles.

HI! One of your awnsers its. control module need to be updated. Did they install a new module in?? And it was under waranty but do you know like how much do they charge to fix it??

Hi. I'm having the same issue on my 2015 Chevy Cruze. Did you ever have the problem again after the new battery?

Had the same problem, there is a recall from GMC. The problem is with the negative terminal cable of the battery, after some time the crimping gives. The repair is free of charge, needs to have that cable replaced.You get all kinds of symptoms, radio shuts off and then comes on, blinker stop making the click sound. Check power steering , and finally won't start.

After u change the battery the message in the screen never came back ? Thanks the info !

I recently connected a battery backwards by mistake and when I cranked it afterward the power steering light was on and I had no power steering I went to the 3rd fuse which goes to the power steering in the fuse box on the battery I put a tester on that post no power every other fuse had proper power even the 4th terminal which was not in use so I switched the 3rd one to the 4th terminal and it’s working fine the fuse for the 3rd terminal was blown so I just swapped terminals

I have a 2013 Chevy Sonic. Power steering went out/ intermittent. When I open the door it sort of resets. It kicks the steering wheel sometimes. Is this same issue?

My car is doing the same thing. The power steering it’s stiff wen I drive it on the highway my radio shuts on and off at times says stabilitrac needs service. My is still under warranty hopefully can can fix this issue. I just purchased the car like two months ago. What was wrong with ur car?

so the new battery fix the problem? the sign in the middle (power steering service)

My car is doing the same thing... Was your battery hitting the at 15v? i had corrosion on my battery also. Could it just be the battery?

I like the equinox .. but more electrical issues with those.

In mine, the thing it happened was that the battery was damaged and it wouldn't have power steering. We change the battery and reprogram the power steering and nice, until it happen again🤣 but it's a problem that the water got it in a flood lol. Maybe it got damaged this time

Same car same color same issue. Maybe I just bought exact this car. R u in NC?

Thank you for uploading this video. I'm having this same problem right now so let me ask you; after you switched the battery for your chevy cruze...haven't you got this problem again?

How did you get the free battery?

I been having power steering, traction control and stabilitrak issues all in secession. Replaced battery and now considering getting new computer module to try that. But the new battery hasn't made any difference 5 months later.. I got my ecm, wiring harness and a couple other small electronic parts replaced, about 900 total and it completely fixed my problems. Now i just need a replacement air intake valve which is nothing by comparison

This happened to me last week. My car wouldnt start for 20 minutes and then started up without a jump..but it sound like it was struggling. Had my battery tested and was told it was fine. Few days later started getting the power steering service message. A week after getting the battery tested and it still sounds like it's struggling. Today I went to get gas after work and got a battery saver active message. Never seen it before. Still waiting to get a diagnostic done because everyone is booked 🙄. I have a 14 cruze 44k miles.

I have a 2015 and I told them when i was buy it it seems like it didnt want to start but then THEN I HAD A HUG ISSUE LAST YEAR AND THEY GAVE ME A NEW BATTERY SO IM CURRENTLY HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND I HAVE 200 MILE LEFT TO GET IT FIX UNDER WARRANTY . SMH DO YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS THAT I SHOULD ASK THE DEALER TOMORROW

What is it with batteries at a grocery store? Mine did the same thing at Kroger's LOL. I had one day left on my warranty and I had to pay $130 for a battery they said only a Max H would work in a Chevy Cruze I don't know if they took me for a ride or if that's actually true on the battery. Other than that no problems

Hi I have a 2014 Chevy Equinox with the same exact issue! I finally figured per the owners manual today that there is no reservoir because it's electric. Unfortunately we're at 38k & our bumper to bumper warranty expired. But I am hopeful that the problem is really only the battery. My husband was at work & all of a sudden it didn't start to come back home. We got it towed home (we live here in AZ). Then it got here & it starts again. Still no other message other than the "service power steering" which comes on/off as a reminder would? We did take it to Pep Boys & did tell us the battery was pretty low but I didnt believe them because the car has started over & over with no problem it's just that "service power steering" message on dashboard. Also the guys at Pep boys check the fuse box voltage not the battery now that i think about it so I don't think he did it correctly! What a mess! Now watching your video it probably is the battery. Hoping actually it really is just that! Our steering wheel does NOT lock or feel tight so that's why it's hard to believe it's the power steering. So why doesnt the battery light come on instead then? Ugh I really dont like all these electric issues it's all too sensitive. i wish cars were like the old schools instead of computers. What do u think?

Mines did the same thing but I changed the battery and i haven’t had any issues since

I'd be rid of the trouble laden Cruze if the warranty is off and I wouldn't deal with that dealership though , they have already lied to you. Dealers can make all the difference no matter what the make of car or troubles the car has..if they want your business they make it right no questions asked. They can afford to spend a few buck to keep a loyal customer..these one time sales dealerships eventually get a real bad name.

Was it because of the battery?

Has the battery been replaced on your wife's Cruze recently, what's the mileage and has it had any problems recently???

I notice you replied to everyone it was not you're battery it was you're computer module.. so how do you fix the computer module please.. I have a the same problem but dealers are expensive .. if it's just the battery it would be cheaper to do myself

but you still have the same problem???

The newer cars have the auto stop feature on them that saves gas

I bought a new battery was having same issue car ran fine but power steering has gone out again

You would think after all the issues they had with the cobalt they would replace it with a better product.

Thanks!

My power steering light popped on in my 2014 Cruze. The light did go off so I'm getting a state inspection done now. Hopefully if it's my battery, then they'll find it & anything else.

I face this problem 2013 cruze after 2 years of ussage. It keep on return twice after i get it fix. Dam now sometimes when i want to drive it especialy long distance i am scared if it happen again

Hyland Auto Service in Tempe has the best mechanics. 😉😉😉 but any mechanics hate electronics. They dont teach that when you've got a master tech, 25 years experience won't tell you how to fix any of these new piles of crap. Lol

Going through this now

If it happens again, try using ur extra key.

Chevy Sonic is same type of Electronic Steering

Stick to older model vehicles cuz they’re less maintenance and more easily to maintain

They should have fixed it before the warranty expired and you should have insisted

I have the same problem with my 2014 chevy equinox. So many problems with my chevy equinox.

You mean we should change the battery.

Just need a new battery

My car is doing the same thing I have a 2014 Chevy Cruz and when I ope the hood to put some steering wheel fluid 😳 I was shock that didn’t take it I said what car doesn’t take this so I goggle it and found this. I not getting any more Chevy I had it colbart Chevy and it was trash. Next car will be a Nissan or a Toyota

Its not the battery that needed to be replaced. The car is just a pile of junk. The cruze is know for having a parasitic drain and GM won't recall or fix it because its not a safety issue. I bought a 2014 LTZ RS for 12k with 70k miles and ive had it just 2 years. I've had to replace all the brakes, front wheel bearings. The battery will be dead in the morning if I don't drive it every day. And now I have a coolant and power steering leak. And I still have a noise coming from my front DS wheel. I WILL NEVER BUY A GM AGAIN!!!!

Buy Toyota or Honda

I have a 2013 cruze that need a new battery every other year smh

Dude thanks for the help but you talk way too much off the subject

All you people need to stop buying GM read rhe consumer reports they’re junk. Go Honda or Toyota.

Stop buying American bro.

Don't buy a chevy again they are poorly made, get a Toyota or Honda even Hyundai are better than GM I used to have a Equinox and was the worst SUV in the planet Cheap parts cheap materials i get rid of it and got a Toyota RAV4.
