2013 CHEVROLET CAPTIVA Electrical System Problems

Key will lock in ignition and vehicle will not start. Happens intermittently. Battery is fine, alternator is fine, dealership replaced ignition when purchased which helped for about a year, but the problem continues to become more frequent. Rattling the battery fixes the problem, but only temporarily.

Continus electric drop causing different systems to lose power, fail, or temporarly disable including but not limited to traction control, emergency break, radio and lights. After researching the problem in various forums I noted many owners facing the same problem over various years with no clear solution.

The contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Captiva. The contact stated that on multiple occasions after inserting the key into the ignition switch, the ignition switch would not turn, and the engine could not be started. Also, the key would remain stuck inside the ignition switch and could not be removed. The vehicle was towed to a local service center who replaced the ignition switch, but the failure continued to occur. The local dealer and manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 92,000.

UNKNOWN, several times between my husband or myself while driving down the road and on the interstate, the vehicle would just completely shut off no lights, no brakes no nothing. We purchased the vehicle used so we thought that it had something to do with some minor maintenance but this first occurred only after having the vehicle for two weeks. We've taken the vehicle back to where we purchased it, they could not find any issues with the vehicle and taken it to other locations with no luck on solving issue. The vehicle does not give any signs or warning when it will shut down while drive. Here recently when using the turn signals, switching on high beams, or even turning on the radio causes the vehicle shut down.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET CAPTIVA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE CHASSIS CONTROL MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

DURING THE LAST WEEK OF MAY 2019 RADIO TURNING ON/OFF INTERMITTENTLY - THOUGHT IT WAS ISSUE WITH RADIO STATION, BUT ON-LINE CHEVY FORUMS INDICATE IT IS A SIGN OF LARGER ELECTRICAL ISSUES. JUNE 1, 2019, ENTERING VEHICLE AFTER DINNER OUT, INTERIOR LIGHTS WERE FLICKERING; DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED AT NIGHT WITH AC & CRUISE CONTROL ON THERE WAS A SUDDEN NOXIOUS ODOR IRRITATING TO EYES, NOSE, AND THROAT (2 PEOPLE ILL); HEADLIGHTS FLICKERING; OPENED WINDOWS TO VENTILATE; MADE IT HOME (~12 MILES); ALL LIGHTS - EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR - STILL FLICKERING UPON ARRIVAL HOME; STILL A STRONG NOXIOUS ODOR - STRONGER ON INTERIOR DRIVER SIDE OF VEHICLE; INTERNET SEARCH OF SYMPTOMS INDICATED DRIVER VISOR MIGHT BE EXTREMELY HOT - WENT OUT TO CHECK AND IT WAS VERY HOT - EVEN AFTER SITTING WHILE WE DID INTERNET SEARCH; FURTHER INTERNET SEARCH INDICATES MANY CHEVY CAPTIVA OWNERS COMPLAINING OF SIMILAR PROBLEMS; FORUMS INDICATE KNOWN BATTERY CABLES VOLTAGE DROP ISSUE LEADING TO EXPENSIVE REPAIRS (~$1000) NOT COVERED UNDER RECALL, SO WE DISCONNECTED BATTERY OVERNIGHT UNTIL WE COULD CHECK THINGS IN THE DAYLIGHT. 6/2/19 - AFTER LEAVING VEHICLE BATTERY DISCONNECTED OVERNIGHT, RECONNECTED AND DRIVER VISOR IMMEDIATELY GOT WARM TO TOUCH - CAR NOT EVEN CRANKED, JUST SITTING IN THE SHADY DRIVEWAY WITH THE BATTERY CONNECTED. SHIFTED VISOR DOWN AND THERE WAS A LOUD POP/CLICK NOISE. VISOR WOULD NOT FULLY RETURN TO STOWED POSITION. DISCONNECTED BATTERY AGAIN. NOT A SAFE SITUATION WITH OVERHEATING VISOR, NOXIOUS FUMES, AND FLUTTERING LIGHTS. CHEVY FORUMS INDICATE THIS HAS BEEN A KNOW ISSUE SINCE 2012, BUT DEALERSHIPS WILL ONLY ASSIST WHILE CAR IS STILL IN ORIGINAL PURCHASE WARRANTY PERIOD. FORUMS INDICATE THIS WAS A RECALL IN EUROPE/GREAT BRITAIN, BUT NOT HERE IN USA. RIDICULOUS. AN AMERICAN COMPANY NOT TAKING CARE OF ITS AMERICAN CUSTOMERS... FOR YEARS... MULTIPLE YEAR MODELS REPORTING SAME ISSUES.

WHILE DRIVING MY CHEVY CAPTIVA ON THE FREEWAY THE VEHICLE SHUTOFF UNEXPECTEDLY AND I WAS ALMOST INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT WITH MY PREGNANT WIFE. ON OTHER OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING THE SAME THING HAPPENED. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO SHOPS TO GET IT LOOKED AT AND THEY CAN'T SEEM TO GET TO THE PROBLEM. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON THEN TURNS OFF. I AM WORRIED THAT THIS VEHICLE WILL CAUSE MY DEATH. I CALLED GM BUT THEY CAN'T SEEM TO GIVE ME A STRAIGHT ANSWER AND WANT TO CHARGE ME FOR SOMETHING THAT THEY DIDN'T BUILT CORRECTLY. I HAVE SEEN MULTIPLE POST OF THE SAME THREAT ONLINE OF THE VEHICLE DOING THE EXACT SAME THING AND GM IS NOT TAKING THE MATTER SERIOUSLY.

OVER A YEAR AGO AAA INSTALLED A NEW BATTERY WHEN MY CAR WOULDN'T START. SINCE THAT TIME THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL TIMES WHEN I HAD TO CALL AAA TO COME OUT AS THE CAR WOULD NOT START....EACH TIME THAT CLEANED AND GREASED THE TERMINALS. NOW IT IS HAPPENING MORE FREGUENTLY. ON SUNDAY...WHILE WAITING FOR AAA I CHECKED AND IT STARTED UP AGAIN ALL ON ITS OWN. SO NOT EVEN SURE IT IS THE TERMIALS AFTER ALL....I AM BECOMING AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. I CAR WAS ALWAYS IN A PARKED POSITION. I HAVE OVER 60,000 MILES.

TAKAYA RECALL ...DRIVER SEAT BELT IS UNRAVELING , GAS FUMES COMES THROUGHT VENT WHEN ON FREEWAY OR STREETS EVEN WITH VENTS ARE CLOSED WHEN TURNING THE TIRE RUBS AGAINST THE VEHICLE TIRE AREA OTHER ISSUES WITH ENGINE GRINDING TO PICK UP SPEED AND POOR POWER BOUGHT TO BATTERIES.

WHILE I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON THE HIGHWAY MY CAR CAUGHT ON FIRE THROUGH THE LEFT PASSENGER DOOR SPEAKER. I PULLED OVER AND GOT STUCK IN THE FLAMING CAR BECAUSE THE SEAT BELTS WOULD NOT RELEASE. AFTER A WHILE I WAS ABLE TO GET OUT, AND CALL THE FIRE STATION THEY CAME AND OUT THE FIRE; THEY SAID THE WIRE THAT CONNECTS TO THE SPEAKER WAS THE MAIN CAUSES OF THE FIRE. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CLAIMED NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT, IT JUST HAPPENED. NOW I'M STUCK WITH A CAR THAT I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE BECAUSE MY LIFE IS NOT ONLY AT RISK OF A CAR ACCIDENT BUT NOW ALSO AN UNKNOWN CAUSE OF ANOTHER POTENTIALLY FIRE.

THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND A PART HAS GONE BAD. THIS VEHICLE ISN'T THAT OLD FOR PARTS TO GO BAD SINCE AIRBAGS SYSTEMS ARE GOOD FOR A LONG TIME. I'VE SEEN OTHERS HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE AIRBAGS AND THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED BECAUSE AIRBAGS ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN A FAMILY VEHICLE. ALSO JUST LIKE THE OTHERS, I'VE HAD ISSUES WITH MY RADIO AND LIGHTENING IN THE INSIDE. THE RADIO GOES ON AND OFF AND THE LIGHTS KEEP DIMMING THEN GOING BRIGHT AGAIN. ALL OF THIS OCCURS REGARDLESS IF I'M MOVING OR PARKED. THE AIR BAG LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING AND GOING SINCE LAST YEAR.

I OWN A 2013 CAPTIVA, ON A REGULAR BASIS I TURN OFF THE VEHICLE AND AM UNABLE TO TAKE THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR AROUND 6 MONTHS. I READ MANY, MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND JUST WANT IT FIXED, HOWEVER MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY @ A LITTLE OVER 70000 MILES ON IT. THIS ISN'T SOMETHING I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY TO GET FIXED IF I CAN SIT HERE ON MY COMPUTER AND READ ABOUT IT HAPPENING TO OTHERS 100'S IF NOT 1000'S OF TIMES! THERE ARE ALSO POINTS WERE THE ENGINE JUST ABOUT STALLS OUT, IT HAPPENS MOSTLY WHEN JUST PARKED BUT THERE ARE TIMES THAT IT SEEMS TO ACT LIKE IT WILL DIE WHEN DRIVIN. NOT TO MENTION IT ALWAYS MOMENTARILY LOSES POWER WHEN ACCELERATING, USUALLY AROUND 20 MILES AN HOUR. THERE IS ALSO AN ISSUE WITH THE CLIMATE CONTROLS, IT NEVER MAKES THE TEMPERATURE YOU CHOSE, IF IT'S ON DEFROST IT BLOWS HOT AIR NO MATTER WHAT AND MOST OF THE OTHER SETTINGS BLOW COLD AIR. I NEVER REALLY GET A TEMPERATURE TO BE COMFORTABLE.
