My 2014 Cruze sputters and jerks while I'm driving. Often it won't start after I park. I've been to three Chevrolet dealers and no one has fixed the issue. The dealer where I purchased the car said it would take weeks to check the entire electrical system. I've been told that some exposed cables were the problem. I've checked online for recalls, but am not sure if the following fits my problem. Please let me know if you have any ideas.

've been to three Chevrolet dealers and no one has fixed the issue.

Shocking!
Sadly, no it isn't.

The dealer where I purchased the car said it would take weeks to check the entire electrical system.

Umm, weeks to fit you into the schedule? or weeks to figure it out?

I've been told that some exposed cables were the problem

Ok lets think about this rationally. If exposed cables are the problem, that would a very quick and easy fix. FFS they don't have a clue, do what you will but they are clueless. More over, I had read hundreds of posts with people having problems, and not one person I can think of has had a problem from "exposed cables".

Recall no.

I'll give you some credit because you seem to have tried looking. I'll be kind since it is pretty obvious you don't have much car knowledge. I would say you are barking up the wrong tree with this recall. But, you aren't even in the right forest.

Please let me know if you have any ideas.

I can think of three cheap and easy fixes it could be. I'll gladly help you check them out if you are willing. If you plan on taking it to a dealership I'm not going to waste my time, the average mechanic really really hates it when they are told the problem. And even if you are right, I 100% guarantee there will be another issue that they will say caused the problem.

There's been known issues with the negative cable causing weird effects.

When was the plugs changed?
Coil packs are also known to burn out.

You say no start. Does the car crank no start or not crank at all? Might be bad alternator or battery too.

SOME things to look in to.

Codes would be helpful but you didn't say anything about engine light being on.

The engine light was on for a time, but not now. The key makes a clicking sound but doesn't crank. I'll check on the codes.

Do you mean the car clicks, but the engine does not turn over or start? If so that means your battery is dead. That could be caused by non-use over time, a bad battery, a light or accessory that has been left on for too long etc.

Yeah battery dead or needs new one and new cables
