Hello!
I am posting to this forum today because I am at a loss, we own a 2012 Chevy Cruze LT (1.4L Turbo Ecotec) and in the past few months we've noticed the radio randomly shutting itself off and then back on (the clock doesn't reset), and the "service stabilitrak" warning. We have taken it to a certified GM repair center (Bob Brown - where we bought the car), they've since replaced the radio after repeating the problem themselves, but did not fix the service stabilitak issue as they couldn't duplicate the problem. Our radio is still rebooting itself and the stabilitak warning still occurs - thus why I am posting to this forum. I don't in any way work on vehicles (I'm a technology expert!).
Can anybody help me with what the cause might me? I've read that the negative battery cable could possibly be at fault.
Any answers/replies are very appreciated!
Thank you!

No, the only thing they've done was looked at it, said they couldn't repeat it, we took it back and they repeated the problem so they replaced it and cleared the "large evap leak" code because they couldn't repeat it and it's been in our possession ever since. I've heard some people have had good luck with re-seating the fuses under the hood (which I can do), but I'm afraid that would void the warranty if I did that so I'd rather not try it until I'm sure it wouldn't void the warranty.

That's exactly what I meant by re-seating
This is the LT model. What would the difference if it were an LTZ?

This car needs the three ground lugs at the left shock tower removed, cleaned, and reassembled with star washers.

Thats the start.....it then needs the negative battery cable tested for resistance.....spec is 200ma but anything over 170ma should be replaced.

If your dealer would simply enter 'Radio shuts off' in the GM diagnostic the information is right there.
There is no need to wait for it to reproduce.....as you know there is no particular 'something' that must occur for it to evidence itself.

I'll have to talk to the dealer about that, I'll be sure to show them your post too!
Thanks!
