TAKATA RECALL THE LIGHTS ON MY DASH KEPT GOING IN AND OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND WHILE STATIONARY. WHILE MY CAR WAS OFF, WITH NO KEY IN THE IGNITION, THE GAUGES WOULD MAKE CLICKING SOUNDS AND BOUNCE UP AND DOWN ABOUT AN 8TH OF AN INCH. THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH WOULD STAY OFF FOR DAYS AT A TIME, MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO SEE HOW FAST I WAS GOING OR HOW MUCH GAS WAS IN THE CAR. SOMETIMES THE LIGHTS WOULD CLICK ON FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS AND THEN THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD BE STUCK AT THE LAST SPEED I WAS GOING AT, FOR DAYS, WITHOUT SHOWING ANYTHING ON THE DIGITAL SPEEDOMETER. WHEN I TOOK IT TO GET LOOKED AT, NO CODES WERE FOUND. MY CAR KEPT DYING WHILE I WAS DRIVING, WENT AND HAD MY BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR TESTED AND THEY WERE 100% FINE. CAR DASH LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING ON AND OFF WHILE I WAS GOING AROUND A CURVE. CHECK ENGINE, OIL, WIPER FLUID, GAS LIGHT, EVERYTHING FLASHED ON AND OFF, THEN MY STEERING LOCKED UP, CAUSING ME TO GO OFF OF THE ROAD AND HIT A TREE. MY CAR WAS TOTALED.

WHEN DRIVING THE CAR THE RADIO PANEL, AIR CONDITIONING, CONTROL PANEL AND POWER STEERING GOES OUT. WHEN DRIVING OVER 45 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, THE ENGINE WILL NOT STOP. HOWEVER, WHEN DRIVING 45 MPH OR BELOW ON CITY STREETS, THE CAR WILL SHUT COMPLETELY OFF AND I WILL HAVE TO RESTART THE CAR. EVERYTHING GOES COMPLETE OFF. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE FOR SEVERAL MONTHS NOW. THE CAR HAS HAD THIS ISSUE WHILE IN TRAFFIC AND I WAS HIT FROM BEHIND. FORTUNATELY, WE WERE PULLING OFF FROM A STOP LIGHT AND THE IMPACT WAS NOT ENOUGH TO CAUSE AN INJURY. I HAVE RESEARCHED ON YOUTUBE AND ONLINE AND THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER CONSUMERS WITH THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE. ALSO, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT NEVER COMES ON BUT IT DOES SAY SERVICE POWER STEERING AND SERVICE STABILI TRAK. SOMETIMES WHEN THE CAR IS NOT MOVING (PARKED) IT WILL ALSO CUT OFF. ONCE, I WENT TO START THE CAR AND IT WOULD NOT START AND IT WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO REMOVE THE KEY. I TRIED MAKING SURE THE CAR WAS IN PARK (WHICH I KNEW IT WAS BECAUSE IT HAD BEEN PARKED FOR HOURS) BUT NOTHING WOULD MOVE. I ALMOST HAD IT TOWED AND THEN OUT THE BLUE EVERYTHING POPPED ON. CHEVROLET ADVISED THAT THEY "THINK" IT COULD BE THE BATTERY CABLES AND THE FUSE BOX BUT CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT THIS WILL FIX THE ISSUE. I HAVE ALREADY PAID 167.00 FOR THEM TO "TIGHTEN" THE CABLES AND TELL ME WHAT THEY "THINK" MAY BE THE ISSUE. I ALSO HAVE VIDEO OF THE CAR WHILE HAVING THIS ISSUE BUT IT IS NOT IN THE FORMAT ALLOWED FOR UPLOAD. THE LAST TIME IT HAD THIS ISSUE WAS TODAY 07/28/2017.
