Description of the problem	Took my 2011 chevy cruze into the shop on february after the radio, dash, headlights began shorting out (flickering on and off) the dash would flash back on it a different language and then reset itself once the car was turned off. Initial quote from mechanic was that it needed a new alternator. I then did a internet search to find out many consumers on forums were reporting the same problem. At that time we refused work from the mechanic and took the car to the dealership. They stated it was a common problem and the grounding wires were tightened. The work was done and about a month later the issues started happening again, this time when the "flickering" would happen, they dash would flash "service traction control". The car was returned to the dealership where they stated the car needed new battery cables. After reviewing the concerns on the forums for other cruze customers who stated this was replaced on their cars and the problem kept happening, i was not satisfied with that option, the dealership refused to investigate further so we took my car home. The problem persisted, this week, the car began a new malfunction while "flickering" the power steering and power brakes would quit working, leaving you with no control of your vehicle while on the roads. My husbands picked the car up from me and experienced the same problem along with the door locks resetting and feeling the engine cutting out "dyeing" then restarting itself. Upon out return to the dealership it was asked that they inspect the car with a fine tooth comb and get to the bottom of the problem. After reading several reviews, i am not satisfied with this answer. We are getting the cables replaced but what is plan c. That is what i am interested in. Who has the answer to that question?
