Description of the problem	Hello, my name is [xxx] and i am an israeli citizen. I own a chevrolet cruze 2011, israeli vin: [xxx]. I read the articles regarding issues found in the vehicle's ignition switch for some chevrolet models but i haven? T read about cruse as a suspect to such an issue. I wanted to pay your attention to an issue i had with my car around 1. 5 years ago which is similar behavior to what you found out with the other models. After starting the engine while in parking, i switched the gear to reverse and started to drive back to get out of the parking space when suddenly i lost the steering of the wheel (like there was no oil pressure) and lost the brakes (the paddle was stiff and did not control the wheels). During the incident my family, including my wife, was with me in the car. My wife immediately understood that something was wrong and started to ask me what is the matter (she was an eye witness to the scenario). I had to shut down the engine (turned the key to off) and started the engine back again in order for the car to start reacting properly again. Needless to say my wife and i were shocked by this and i took the car on the morning of the next day to the formal chevrolet garage to report the incident and request them to check what went wrong here (as the formal garage ? They hold an historical record of my complaint). After i was told by the garage that they couldn't find any problem, i had no choice but to accept the car but it bugged me until present time. In order to make sure your investigation will not skip a possible fatal issue with the cruse model (if the issues are the same), i simply wanted to point your attention to my small ? Adventure?. Please feel free to contact me and i will be happy to assist you further (if needed) ? Email: [xxx] cellular:[xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
