First incident I've heard of with the Cruze. Do you have the GM floor mats or an after market floor mat?
I almost died with OEM mats sold by a Hyundai Dealer not designed for my year model, which I knew about. I found myself headed for a Tree, a Power Pole, or oncoming Traffic, my choice. Interesting when I turned the key off my steering wheel locked (as designed) yet all the G.M. Horror ignition Switch stories don't mention any locking of the wheel?First incident I've heard of with the Cruze. Do you have the GM floor mats or an after market floor mat?
I don't know about you but I certainly would put up with a car until I was at least coming out ahead or little loss, so yes people who like their money would put up with a POS for more than 42K. Remember this is a chevy and it devalues so fast if one is behind on value it will take most of the payments to catch the diminishing value. Would have to put $5000+ down on even a LS cruze just to stay ahead of the value over the life of the loan.Can't believe anyone would put up with a bum car for 42k.
The wheel only locks when you turn the key all the way off(and you attempt to turn the wheel), On the cruze if the car is in gear you can't turn the key back that far. My 2004 Cavalier ignition worked the same way so I would assume the Cobalt was also designed this way(the cobalt being the most mentioned ignition recalled car).Interesting when I turned the key off my steering wheel locked (as designed) yet all the G.M.

Oh no, not in the Sonata. I carefully cut the Engine while exiting the roadway at a high speed (no brakes either) and because I was very familiar with that part of the roadway I was ok and the Car was ok too, loved that Sonata!The wheel only locks when you turn the key all the way off(and you attempt to turn the wheel), .
Your insurance wants that because GM will access the vehicle's <black box> and determine which pedals were depressed, what gear the transmission was in, the speed the vehicle was travelling, the direction the steering wheel was in and the speed the engine was turning.After talking with GM and my insurance I am going to have to let GM take the vehicle and do whatever they have to on it. Insurance told me to let them. Waiting on a call from the product assistance claims to start the process. I truly hope it was just my car and not any other cruzes. I wouldn't wish this upon my worst enemy.

From this it will be very easy to determine if the vehicle was at fault or the driver. Either way, the insurance company's liability is reduced.
Please let us know how this one shakes out for you.
Why would they lie in this case? Their report will be scrutinized by the NHTSA as well. GM has been very upfront about solving safety issues with their vehicles since Mary Barra took the helm as CEO, even going so far as to recall the 2011 and 2012 Cruze for sloppy work by oil change quick lube places. (Note - I don't work for GM, just trying to understand your assertion.)I just worry Chevy will lie to cover their ass. They have done it before. I just want my vehicle safe for my kids! GM will have my car for at least 20-30 days =\
