2011 Chevrolet Cruze complaints

COOLANT LEAKING UNDER PRESSURE FROM WATER OUTLET & WATER PUMP. CAUSES CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO MALFUNCTION AS WELL AS ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR & RADIATOR CONTROL TEMPERATURE SENSOR.

TRANSMISSION COOLANT LINE SEEMS TO BE SEEPING OR LEAKING AND IS CLOSE TO THE TURBO AND COULD CAUSE A FIRE.

BOUGHT THIS CAR USED WITH 51K MILES A MONTH AGO. DROVE GREAT THE FIRST WEEK, AFTER THAT LOSES POWERUPON ACCELERATION AND IS SLOW TO GET UP TO SPEED. WHILE DRIVING JUST NOW, THE CAR WAS LOSING POWER SO I DECIDED TO HIT THE GAS HARDER AND INSTEAD OF GOING FASTER THE THE STABILITY TRACK LIGHT CAME ON. I AM STARTING TO WONDER IF I MADE A BAD DECISION PURCHASING THIS CAR. IT HAD TROUBLE GOING UP HILL ON THE HIGHWAY LAST WK. THIS CAR IS TOO COMPACT TO HAVE SPEED ISSUES.

ACCIDENT, ON JAN 15 2017, VEHICLE WAS TURNING INTO A RESTAURANT PARKING LOT FROM A HIGHWAY AND HIT BY A F150 PICKUP ON THE FRONT END AND WHOLE PASSENGER SIDE, GOING ABOUT 15 MPH AND OTHER VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING 50MPH, NONE OF THE 10 AIR BAGS DEPLOYED, HAVE SHOULDER INJURY 3 DAYS FOLLOWING ACCIDENT, VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO COLLISON, SHOP & WAS MADE AWARE THAT THE FRAME OF THE VEHICLE FROM FRONT END TO REAR WAS SHATTERED, THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING AND TURNING INTO A BUSINESS, THE INSURANCE COMPANY DEEMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED. NO AIR BAGS EVER DEPLOYED, IF THERE WERE A PASSENGER THEY WOULD HAVE DIED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET CRUZE. THE CONTACT CALLED ON BEHALF OF HER SON. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH OR LESS, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REDUCED POWER, TRACTION CONTROL, CHECK ENGINE, AND ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 153,468.

I SMELL GASOLINE WHEN THE HEAT IS ON , AND WE CANNOT USE THE HEAT CAUSE OF THE SMELL OF COURSE THE CAR IS IN MOTION , IS THERE A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM ? AND ALSO THERE IS A LEAK FROM THE ENGINE , I THINK

THE SHIFTER IN THE TRANSMISSION BROKE. HAD A LICENSED MECHANIC AT CHRISTIAN BROTHERS TO RUN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST ON IT FOR WARRANTY REASONS. HE FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS A FREQUENT PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS AND INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS A MANUFACTURE ALERT ON THIS PART. TO REPLACE THIS ONE PART THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION MUST BE REPLACED. THERE IS LESS THAN 100,000 MILES ON THE CAR. GIVING AN ALERT DOES NOT RECTIFY THE PROBLEM NOR DOES IT LIMIT THE DANGERS. A PERSON IS UNABLE TO SHIFT THE GEARS WHILE DRIVING. I FEEL THIS TO BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. CHEVROLET SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPLACING THIS PART.

I HAVE ATF LEAKING FROM THE CRIMPED END OF A RUBBER LINE GOING TO THE METAL LINE FOR THE TRANSMISSION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET CRUZE. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AS THE SPEED INDEPENDENTLY REDUCED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRONT VALVE COVER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 86,000.

TAKATA RECALL THE PCV VALVE IS BUILT INTO THE VALVE COVER, THERE IS A SPRING IN THE PCV VALVE THAT FAILS CAUSING THE EMISSIONS COMPUTER TO NOT WORK CORRECTLY. FAILURE OF THIS SPRING CAUSE ROUGH IDLE, LOSS OF POWER, AND FAILED EMISSIONS TEST. MULTIPLE REPORTS HAVE BEEN MADE.

WHEN I AM DRIVING DOWN THE HIGH WAY OR IF I AM GOING UP THE HILL MY VEHICLE FEELS LIKE IT IS GOING TO STALL SO I HAVE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. IT ALSO WAS A SALVAGE TITLE AND I HAD NO IDEA WHEN I BOUGHT IT I FOUND OUT IT WAS A SALVAGE VEHICLE AFTER I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO FIX MY RECALL IN WHICH THEY CLAIM THEY FIXED MY RECALL BUT I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER MECHANIC AND THEY TOLD ME THE RECALL WAS NOT FIXED. THE RECALL WAS A TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE. ALSO WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR I TOOK IT BACK THREE TIMES AND THEY SAID SINCE I PAID CASH FOR IT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO I FEEL LIKE THIS WAS A LEMON.

TRAVELING HOME FROM TOWN TRAFFIC TO HIGHWAY DRIVING THE CAR WAS SUPER JERKY AND THE RPM WENT WAY UP WHEN WE GOT ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE MPH WASN'T RESPONDING TO IT. SO IT WAS WORSE WHEN WE WERE TRYING TO ACCELERATE BUT IT WAS ALL THE TIME. EVEN WHEN WE WERE ON CRUISE CONTROL AND CAME UP ON A VERY SMALL INCLINE IN THE ROAD IT WOULD SLOW DOWN AND MADE ME AFRAID OTHER CARS TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEED WOULD REAR-END MY CAR. THE CHANGES IN SPEED CAME WITH NO WARNING.

WE PURCHASED A USED CAR FRO OUR DAUGHTER (2011 CHEVY CRUISE) IN SEPTEMBER 2016 FROM WEST POINT LINCOLN FOR AROUND $9000 AND WE PUT HALF DOWN AND FINANCED THE REMAINING SO MY DAUGHTER, [XXX] COULD START BUILDING HER CREDIT. WE WERE TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE VEHICLE WENT THROUGH THEIR 20 POINT INSPECTION AND WAS A GREAT USED CAR, BUT NOW THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS GONE - THEIR HANDS ARE TIED AND THIS SO CALLED 20 POINT INSPECTION IS REALLY JUST A BUNCH OF CRAP! IN DECEMBER, FEW DAYS BEFORE CHRISTMAS SHE WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE CAR STARTED TO JERK AS SHE PUSHED ON THE GAS AND IT WOULDN'T ACCELERATE. SHE PULL OVER AND PARKED THE CAR TO SEE WHAT WAS WRONG. SHE RESTARTED THE CAR AND PUT IT IN DRIVE, BUT IT WOULDN'T GO FORWARD; HOWEVER, WHEN SHE PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE, IT MOVED. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

MY 2011 CHEVY CRUZE THROWS TWO CODES CAM SHAFT POSITION SENSOR AND CRANK SHAFT POSITION SENSOR WE'VE REPLACE THEM TWICE ENGINE STILL THROWS THE CODE. MY CAR WHEN I BACK UP JERKS SOME TIMES AND AND THE TAILLIGHTS FLICKER. I'M GETTING TIRED OF REPLACING THESE PARTS. IT'S BEEN GOING ON WEEKS AND I'VE REPLACED THEM TWICE NOW.

I WAS DRIVING ON MY WAY TO WORK IN MY 2011 CHEVY CRUZE WITH MY PRECIOUS 1 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER ON THE HIGHWAY GOING THE SPEED LIMIT (60MPH) WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY TRANSMISSION GOES OUT JUST OUT OF NO WHERE LUCKILY IM A GOOD DRIVER AND KNOW HOW TO DRIVE OTHERWISE ME AND MY DAUGHTER WOULD BE ABSOLUTELY DEAD RIGHT NOW! I CONTACTED CHEVY AND THE DEALERSHIP THEY DIDN'T CARE THEY SEEM TO THINK IT'S ABSOLUTELY NORMAL FOR 2011 CHEVY CRUZE FOR THIS TO HAPPEN WITH ONLY 66,107 MILES. I BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW IN 2011 AND I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR FOR OIL CHANGES SERVICES ETC EVERY 3 MONTHS THEIR IS NO NEGLECT ON THIS CAR IT WAS PROPERLY TAKEN CARE OF. THEY HAVE NO SYMPATHY FOR THE SITUATION. FAULTY ELECTRICAL PARTS WERE PUT IN MY TRANSMISSION WHEN IT WAS ASSEMBLED IN THEIR FACTORY BUT THIS IS SOMEHOW MY PROBLEM NOW LOL WHAT A JOKE. *TR

GM HAS A KNOWN MANUFACTURING DEFECT WITH THE 1.4 LITER ENGINE PISTON RINGS. GO TO WWW.CRUZETALK.COM AND SEE THE NUMBER OF PISTON RING FAILURES. GM REFUSES TO COVER FAILURE OUT OF WARRANTY. MY HAS NOT FAILED BUT WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THEY FAIL IN FIVE YEARS AND THE CAR IS STILL USEFUL BUT THEN ISN'T BECAUSE OF A KNOWN MANUFACTURING DEFECT THEY REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE OUT OF WARRANTY. SEE THIS POST ON THE FORUM. HTTP://WWW.CRUZETALK.COM/FORUM/34-GEN1-1-4L-TURBO/189930-11-CRUZE-ENGINE-FAILURE.HTML. AGAIN THIS NOT HAPPENED TO ME BUT I THINK GM SHOULD INVESTIGATE AND DO A RECALL SO PEOPLE CAN GET THEIR MONEY'S WORTH OUT OF THEIR VEHICLE AND NOT BE FORCED TO SEND IT TO A JUNKYARD BECAUSE IT WILL COST MORE THAN WHAT IT IS WORTH.

HAD CAR 6 MONTHS AND TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING AND NOT SHIFTING PROPERLY HAD NO POWER REALLY IT WOULD GO BUT HAD LOTS OF DELAY AND WOULD JERK WHEN IT WOULD FINALLY GO INTO GEAR. I TOOK IT TO SHOP HAD TO GET TRANSMISSION REBUILT WELL 3000 DOLLARS LATER AND THEM SAYING IT WAS GOOD TO GO BUT WOULD SHIFT FUNNY WHILE RELEARNING GEARS WELL I DROVE IT 38 MILES AND IT WAS JUST LIKE IT WAS WHEN I TOOK IN I THOUGHT AT FIRST IT MIGHT BE LEARNING GEARS BUT AFTER 50 MILES OVER 2 DAYS I FELT LIKE IT WASN'T RIGHT TOOK IT BACK TO SHOP AND NOW THEY ARE SAYING IT IS TCM AND IT WILL BE ANTHER 900 TO FIX I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM A INDIVIDUAL HAS NO WARRANTY NOW I'M OUT ALL THIS EXTRA MONEY. WORST CAR I'VE EVER HAD. MY DREAM CAR HAS TURNED INTO MY REAL LIFE NIGHTMARE. I WILL NEVER BUY ANTHER GM/ CHEVY VEHICLE. GM/CHEVY WON'T DO ANYTHING TO HELP REMEDY PROBLEMS KNOWN PROBLEMS TO THEM. OH AND THEN SHOP SAYS WATER PUMP IS GOING OUT SO ON WEBSITE IT SHOWS IT HAS SPECIAL COVERAGE UNDER RECALLS I GUESS BUT I HAVE TO PAY TO GET IT DIAGNOSED AND NOW I'M SCARED TO EVEN PUT MORE MONEY INTO IT AS I'M NOT SURE ANY OF THIS WILL ACTUALLY FIX THE CAR I'VE READ HORROR STORY AFTER HORROR STORY OF STORIES JUST LIKE MY MINE. AND YET GM/ CHEVY DOES NOTHING AND IS STILL ABLE TO SELL THESE LEMON CARS TO PEOPLE. I MEAN HOW MANY COMPLAINTS AND SAFETY ISSUES DOES THIS COMPANY HAVE TO GET BEFORE THEY WILL DO SOMETHING. I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M OUT OVER 12000 DOLLARS FOR A CAR WITH MAINT FREE TRANSMISSION WITH 94000 MILES. I NOW

I PURCHASED A PRE-OWNED 2011 CHEVY CRUZE IN AUGUST OF 2016. IN DECEMBER, I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY CAR STARTED TO JERK AS I PUSHED ON THE GAS AND IT WOULDN'T ACCELERATE. I PULL OVER AND PARKED THE CAR TO SEE WHAT WAS WRONG. I RESTARTED THE CAR AND PUT IT IN DRIVE, BUT IT WOULDN'T GO FORWARD; HOWEVER, WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE, IT MOVED. MY MOM CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WE BOUGHT IT FROM TO CLAIM THE LEMON LAW, BUT THEIR RESPONSE WAS THAT THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT BECAUSE THE CAR WAS OLDER THAN 30 DAYS. SHE WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THE LEMON LAW DOES NOT APPLY TO USED VEHICLES, SO MY DAD HAD THE CAR TOWED TO CHEVROLET. THEY SAID THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS THE ISSUE. MY ISSUE IS THAT I HAD THIS CAR FOR 4 MONTHS. REPLACING OR GETTING THE TRANSMISSION FIXED COSTS MORE THAN THE CAR IS WORTH. I DO NOT HAVE THE FUNDS FOR THIS BEING THAT I AM A COLLEGE STUDENT, AND I NEED THIS TRANSPORTATION. I CAN'T TRADE THIS CAR IN SINCE IT'S IN THIS CONDITION. MY OTHER ISSUE IS THAT THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS MALFUNCTION IN THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ON THIS ISSUE, I REALIZED THAT THERE A LOT OF PEOPLE DEALING WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM AND OTHERS REGARDING THE TRANSMISSION. I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION BECAUSE THIS ISSUE IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING, MY STEERING LOCKS UP AND THEN BEGINS TO MAKE STEERING DIFFICULT AS IF ONE IS SLIDING ON ICE. I AM NOT DRIVING ON ICE, IT IS 50 DEGREES ON A STRAIGHT HWY. *TR

TRANSMISSION IS KICKING WHILE DRIVING, ESPECIALLY WHEN IN REVERSE BUT ALSO WHILE FORWARD. ALSO WHILE IN REVERSE THE CAR WILL GO FORWARD INSTEAD. DOES THIS EVERY TIME IT IS DRIVEN, EVEN WHILE TURNING. MECHANIC SAID IT IS THE ACTUAL TRANSMISSION CAUSING THE PROBLEM.

IT'S TAKES LONG FOR THE GEARS TO CHANGE GET STUCK ON GEARS SMELLS LIKE GAS I. THE CAR AND HAD IT IN PARK AND STARTED TO ROLL BACK WITH OUT STARTING THE CAR IN THE CITY AND IN THE HIGHWAY ACTS THE SAME

THE DRIVER SIDE WINDSHIELD WIPER IS NOW INOPERABLE. IT HAS COME LOOSE FROM THE MOTOR AND IS NOW FREE ROAMING ON MY WINDSHIELD. CRUZETALK.COM FORUM STATES THAT THERE A LOT OF THESE ISSUES WITH THE CHEVY CRUZE WINDSHIELD WIPER SYSTEM. I WAS DRIVING IN A SNOW STORM WHEN IT STOPPED OPERATION. I HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK TO GET ME. I WAS ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR 3 HOURS IN A SNOW STORM WAITING FOR A TOW TRUCK. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET CRUZE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED AN ISSUE WITH THE SHIFTER NOT SHIFTING AND THE VEHICLE NOT DECELERATING. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PAST 30 MPH. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER, BUT DIAGNOSTIC TESTING WAS NOT PERFORMED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 107,000. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED. UPDATED 01/25/17*LJ *CN

TRANSMISSION.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN A CITY STREET, THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT. JUST AS IT WAS ABOUT TO MOVE FORWARD AS THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, IT WENT INTO ENGINE POWER REDUCED MODE AND PREVENTED THE VEHICLE FROM MOVING FORWARD AT A NORMAL RATE OF SPEED. THANKFULLY WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR OFF THE ROAD. HAD TO BE TOWED TO MECHANIC. THE CONDITIONS WERE COLD (ABOUT 20 DEGREES), WITH NO ICE. FURTHER WARNINGS INCLUDED TRACTION CONTROL SERVICING, BUT THERE WERE NO ISSUES WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM. MECHANIC IS SAYING IT IS A THROTTLE BODY ISSUE.

WHILE DRIVING TO WORK I RECEIVED THE TURN OFF AC ENGINE TO HOT WARNING.THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE WAS IN THE 50'S. PULLED OVER AND SAW THE COOLANT WAS LOW,ADDED COOLANT BUT IT WOULDN'T STAY IN THE TANK. TOOK THE CAR TO ARROWHEAD CHEVROLET IN PEORIA,AZ AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE WATER OUTLET HOUSING LEAKING AND COST TO REPLACE WAS $490.00, THE CAR HAS 69,000 AND SHOULDN'T BE HAVING THIS ISSUE,THE DEALERSHIP COULD CARE LESS,CALLED GM WARRANTY AND WAS TOLD BASICALLY TOO BAD AND WE ARE SORRY BUT IT'S NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND WE WILL NOT PROVIDE COST ASSISTANCE FOR THE REPAIR. CURRENTLY THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE COOLANT LEAKING AT THE WATER PUMP,BUT GM FEELS IT SHOULDN'T COVER THE WATER OUTLET HOUSING. I'M SURE IT'S LEAKING FROM THE WATER PUMP BUT THE SERVICE MANAGER JUST WANTED TO MAKE A DOLLAR OFF A POOR SINGLE MOM. SHAME ON GM FOR KNOWING THE ISSUE WITH THE COOLANT LEAKING ISN'T JUST RELATED TO THE WATER PUMP BUT THE WHOLE COOLING SYSTEM!! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET CRUZE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT A BURNING ODOR EMITTED INTO THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEMS. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER SEVERAL TIMES; HOWEVER, THE DIAGNOSIS WAS UNKNOWN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

THIS VEHICLE SAFETY COMPLAINT IS IN REGARDS TO MY 2011 CHEVROLET CRUZE LT, WHICH WAS SERVICED AT OURISMAN CHEVROLET OF BOWIE, A GENERAL MOTORS (GM) AUTHORIZED DEALER, FOR THE REPAIR OF MY VEHICLE. I INCURRED CHARGES FOR UNWARRANTED MAINTENANCE REPAIRS ON THE FOLLOWING DATES SEPTEMBER 26-OCTOBER 5, 2016 ($134.95 AND $139.07 (COST FOR A NEW BATTERY)), APRIL 26, 2016 (WARRANTY COVERED REPAIRS), APRIL 11, 2016 ($590.92), AND APRIL 14, 2015 ($382.14) THAT NEVER ADDRESSED THE SAFETY COMPLAINTS I MADE, ALL OF WHICH WERE HANDLED BY SERVICE ADVISOR BUDDY REIO. ON THESE DATES, I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO BE SERVICED FOR EXPERIENCING HAZARDOUS ISSUES WITH ITS ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS AND REDUCED ENGINE ACCELERATION WHILE I WAS DRIVING BETWEEN 40-55 MILES PER HOUR. WITHOUT WARNING, MY VEHICLE'S SPEED WOULD DECELERATE (BOTH ON THE HIGHWAY AND RESIDENTIAL ROADS) AND MY CAR DOORS WOULD BEGIN TO LOCK AND UNLOCK UNCONTROLLABLY WITH ERROR MESSAGES 'SERVICE STABILITRAC,' 'SERVICE PARKING ASSIST,' AND 'SERVICE AIRBAG' DISPLAYING ON MY DASHBOARD. AFTER ABOUT 30 SECONDS OF THIS CONDITION, MY CAR WOULD RESUME NORMAL FUNCTIONING. I INCURRED $1,247.08 IN UNWARRANTED REPAIRS FOR MY VEHICLE, WHICH WAS NEVER PROPERLY DIAGNOSED, LEADING TO MY VEHICLE SHUTTING DOWN WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT ON OCTOBER 22, 2016. ON OCTOBER 22, 2016 AT 3:20 P.M., WHILE DRIVING ON A BUSY THOROUGHFARE, MY CAR DECELERATED AND ERROR MESSAGES DISPLAYING 'SERVICE STABILITRAC,' 'SERVICE PARKING ASSIST,' AND 'SERVICE AIRBAG' SHOWED. AFTER APPROXIM

I WAS DRIVING ON LOCAL HIGHWAY. STOPPED AT LIGHT. WHEN I STARTED TO MOVE FORWARD AGAIN THE TRANSMISSION WOULDN'T SHIFT PAST 2ND GEAR. THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T ACCELLERATE OVER 30 MPH. PULLED OVER TO THE NEAREST PLACE. TURNED OFF THE CAR AND TURNED IT BACK ON. TRIED TO BACK UP, BUT REVERSE WOULD NOT WORK. PUSHED IT OUT OF THE PARKING SPOT CAR WOULD ONLY MOVE FORWARD UP TO 30 MPH. NOTHING PAST 2ND GEAR AND STILL NO REVERSE. MANUAL ASPECT OF CAR WAS SAYING COULD NOT SHIFT. SERVICE ENGINE LIGHTS CAME ON. CODE READ TRANMISSION MODULE. PER TECH, WAVE PLATE CAME APART AND CONTAMINATED THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION, SOLINOIDS AND CONTROL BOARD RESULTING IN NEED FOR COMPLETE TRANS OVERHAUL, SOLINOIDS AND CONTROL BOARD REPLACEMENT AND REPROGRAMMING - $3400! GM WOULD NOT HELP, EVEN THOUGH KNOWN ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET CRUZE. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE AIR CONDITIONER INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE DISPLAYED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS HOT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE COOLING OUTLET PIPE WAS LEAKING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE WAS NOT REMEDIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76,000.

WHILE DRIVING IN TOWN I TOOK OFF FROM A STOPLIGHT AND MY CAR ALL OF SUDDEN DID NOT HAVE DRIVE, IT JUST REVVED. COULD NOT GET IT TO MOVE FORWARD AT ALL. CAR NEVER SHIFTED RIGHT TO BEGIN WITH. WE HAD REVERSE GEAR BUT NO FORWARD. CHANGED TRANSMISSION AND TCM AND THE CAR WILL MOVE BUT CONTINUES TO REV TO HIGH. CANNOT DRIVE THE CAR THE WAY IT IS. CAR ONLY HAS 55000 MILES ON IT.

AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, IT WAS RAINING VERY HARD AND I HAD MY WIPERS ON THE HIGHEST SPEED. SUDDENLY THE DRIVER SIDE WIPER STAYED IN THE VERTICAL POSITION AND WOULD NOT MOVE. I COMPLETELY LOST VISIBILITY ON THE DRIVER SIDE AND HAD TO LEAN OVER TO THE PASSENGER SIDE AS THIS WIPER WAS STILL WORKING. THE HIGHWAY (ROUTE 95) HAD A VERY SMALL BREAKDOWN LANE WHICH I DID NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE PULLING INTO DUE TO THE LACK OF SPACE AND VISIBILITY. WHEN I EVENTUALLY GOT TO MY DESTINATION I NOTICED THROUGH THE WIPER COVER THAT THE WIPER ELBOW APPEARED TO BE DISCONNECTED. I BROUGHT MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TODAY AND THEY DISCOVERED THE WIPER TRANSMISSION WAS BROKEN. THEY MENTIONED THAT THIS VERY ISSUE CAME UP WITH CHEVY EQUINOXES AND THEY WERE CURRENTLY UNDER RECALL. ULTIMATELY I WAS CHARGED $228.05 AFTER PARTS, LABOR, AND TAXES.

I HAVE BEEN HAVING SEVERAL ISSUES LATELY THAT ARE NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY WITH MY CAR. POWER TRAIN ISSUES, STABILITY ISSUES, SENSOR ISSUES. THESE ISSUES HAVE HAPPENED ON AND OFF AND SOME HAVE BEEN FIXED BEFORE AND THEY KEEP GETTING WORSE. THE CAR STARTS SHAKING REALLY BAD WHEN I AM DRIVING. IT DOES NOT FEEL SAFE. *TR

SINCE PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE THERE HAS ALWAYS BEEN A HESITATION IN THE ACCELERATION AND "ENGINE JERKING". I ORIGINALLY REPORTED WITHIN THE FIRST APPROX 6 MONTHS OF OWNING THE VEHICLE. THE SERVICE CENTER HAD THEIR TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND I WAS TOLD "THAT IS JUST HOW IT DRIVES. I TOLD THEM ON A SECOND TIME ABOUT THE ONGOING ISSUES AND WAS DISMISSED. LAST YEAR I STARTED GETTING THE "SERVICE STABILITRAK" ERROR AND THE JERKING AND LACK OF ACCELERATION AND HESITATION HAS GOTTEN INCREASINGLY WORSE. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AS TRYING TO GO FROM A STOPPED POSITION AND GOING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION IT WILL LAG AND CAN CAUSE A DELAY ALSO DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IT WILL JERK AND ALMOST FEEL LIKE I COULD LOSE CONTROL OF THE CAR. I OFTEN ALSO GET A SMELL OF THE COOLANT THAT GOES THROUGH MY CAR. I HAVE HAD ALL RECALLS IN THE PAST TAKEN CARE OF, BUT THE STABILITRAK IS AN ONGOING ISSUE THAT IS VERY CONCERNING FOR THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND MY DAUGHTER AS A PASSENGER IN THE VEHICLE. IT HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE SINCE THE PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE 05/2011 ONLY INCREASING IN SEVERITY. *TR

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON OCT 10, 2016, A BIT BEFORE 3:30 PM ON THE BELT PARKWAY IN BROOKLYN NY. I WAS GOING SLOWLY AS THERE WAS HEAVY TRAFFIC. I HAD BEEN DRIVING FOR 90 MINUTES WHEN I TURNED ON THE AC AND IMMEDIATELY NOTICED A STRONG BURNING SMELL, SO I TURNED THE AC OFF. A FEW MOMENTS LATER I NOTICED WISPS OF WHITE SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD OF THE CAR. BY THE TIME I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER (LESS THAN 2 MINUTES) HEAVIER WHITE THEN GRAY SMOKE BEGAN POURING OUT AND VARIOUS WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON IN THE DASHBOARD. I GOT OUT, GRABBED MY BELONGINGS AND CALLED 911 WITHIN 3 MINUTES OF PULLING OVER. AN OFF DUTY FIREMAN ATTEMPTED TO ASSIST WITH A FIRE EXTINGUISHER BUT IN MINUTES THE FRONT OF THE CAR WAS ABLAZE. FIREFIGHTERS RESPONDED QUICKLY BUT THE FRONT OF THE CAR WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES AND IT IS A TOTAL LOSS AT 67,000 MILES. IN 4 YEARS OF OWNING THIS CAR I HAD 3 RECALLS (ONE FOR ENGINE FIRE) AND MULTIPLE LETTERS FROM CHEVY OF OTHER ISSUES THAT MIGHT ARISE (THE LAST WAS FOR THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSSIBLY COMING OFF). I'VE NEVER HAD A CAR WITH THIS MANY ISSUES.

THE CAR HAD BEEN JERKING WHEN I PUT IN REVERSE, AND TAKING A DEW SECONDS TO GO WHEN I ACCELARATED. THE REVERSE WENT OUT AND I HAD TO TAKE IT TO A MECHANIC WHO TOLS ME I WOULS NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION WHICH WILL COST 3.7K THE CAR HAS ONLY 69K MILES HAD REGULAR OIL CHANGES.

HELLO. MY COMPLAINT IS ABOUT THE KEYS ON MY 2011 CHEVROLET CRUZE LS MANUAL MODEL. THE METAL KEY SEPARATES FROM THE KEY FOB. IT HAS DONE THIS ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS, ON TWO DIFFERENT FOBS. THE FIRST TWO TIMES MY CHEVROLET DEALER COVERED IT UNDER WARRANTY AND FIXED IT. THE WARRANTY IS OVER NOW. AT ANY RATE, THIS SHOULDN'T HAPPEN TO CAR KEYS! IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE, AND A NUISANCE AS WELL! IF THIS SHOULD HAPPEN TO SOMEBODY IN AN AREA WHERE IT'S UNSAFE, OR THE WEATHER IS BAD, ETC, IT COULD TURN OUT TO BE UNSAFE...BECAUSE THE KEY IS BROKEN OFF FROM THE FOB AND IT'S UNLIKELY ONE WOULD BE ABLE TO RIG IT UP TO GET THE CAR STARTED...AND SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BECAUSE IT SHOULD NOT BREAK IN THE FIRST PLACE! THANK YOU! HOPE I CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. PS: VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN THIS HAS OCCURRED. STILL...NOT GOOD! *TR

POSSIBLE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. DASH BOARD RANDOMLY LIGHTS UP; RADIO HAS GONE COMPLETELY OFF; STEERING WHEEL DIFFICULT TO TURN; SECURITY LOCK OUT ENGAGED ONCE; TRACTION CONTROL CAME ON AND HARD TO STEER AND SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THIS INCIDENTS ARE HAPPENING RANDOMLY AND HAD NEAR MISS ON HIGHWAY NOT EXPECTING THE STEERING TO LOCK UP OR BECOME EXTREMELY DIFFICULT. THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER LAST SEVERAL MONTHS. INDEPENDENT CAR REPAIR SHOP COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING, BUT STILL HAPPENS.

TAKATA RECALL I WAS DRIVING ON THE ROAD AND THE CAR BEHIND ME ALMOST RAN INTO THE BACK OF ME BECAUSE MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE THE CAR WAS STILL ON BUT IT WOULD NOT MOVE I CRIED I LOVE MY CAR PLEASE HELP ME I PAY A LOT TO DIVE IT NOW I HAVE TO PAY FOR A CAR I CAN NOT DRIVE MY KID IS SICK AND I HAVE NO WAY TO GET TO WORK TO PAY FOR MEDICATION OR THE BILLS IT'S VERY HARD BEING A SINGLE MOTHER PLEASE HELP THANK YOU GOD BLESS 😢 *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY NIECE HOME. GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY AND FELT A SUDDEN JERK. WENT TO PUSH ON THE GAS AND THE CAR WAS NOT MOVING WELL. PULLED OVER TO THE NEAREST PLACE.

TRANSMISSION JERKS EXTREMELY HARD. WHEN AIR IS ON CAR FAILS TO ACCELERATE AT ALL. IDLES ON ITS OWN, JUMPS GEARS ALWAYS. FUEL SYSTEM IS BAD, IT CHOKES CONSTANTLY AND WONT START SOME DAYS. IT VIBRATES EXTREMELY HARD AND I HAD IT SERVICED 1 MONTH AGO FOR SHAFT CASE. THIS IS THE WORST CAR EVER!!!!!!! ITS A DANGER TO DRIVE IT WONT PICK UP SPEED AND WHEN THE AIR IS ON IT WONT MOVE AT ALL. IF STILL AT A LIGHT, IT WILL JERK EXTREMELY HARD TO WHERE IT JERKS ME. WHEN IN PARK IT IDLES ITSELF. IF I'M ENTERING ONTO THE HIGHWAY IT WONT PICK UP SPEED EVEN IF THE AIR IS NOT ON. WHEN I REVERSE AND GO BACK TO PARK IT JERKS EXTREMELY HARD. I HATE THIS CAR!!! SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T WANT TO STOP.

I WAS DRIVING WHEN MY CAR STARTING BEEPING SAYING MY DOOR WAS OPEN WHILE IN MOTION AND ALSO MY LOCKS KEPT LOCKING AND UNLOCKING WHILE DRIVING ALSO MY WINDOWS KEPT OPENING AND CLOSING WITHOUT THE BUTTON BEING PUSHED.

I WAS EXITING INTERSTATE 80 ON MY WAY TO WORK WHEN THE CAR SHIFTED FROM 4TH GEAR TO 5TH GEAR THE MOTOR STARTED FREE REVVING. I TOOK THE CAR TO MY OTHER JOB WHERE I CHANGED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WITH DEXTRON VI. THE TRANSMISSION JUST KEPT GETTING WORSE AND STARTED SLIPPING IN OTHER GEARS. AMECHANIC TOLD ME HE THOUGHT THE TRANSMISSION WAS GOING BAD AND I NEEDED TO REBUILD IT OR GET A DIFFERENT TRANSMISSION..I TOOK OUT A LOAN TO BUY A USED TRANSMISSION AND TO N BECAUSE I WORK 2 JOBS AND DIDN'T HAVE TIME OR TOOLS TO DO MYSELF WHEN THE MECHANIC PUT THE USED TRANSMISSION IN THE CAR HE SAID IT IS SLIPPING ALSO. I'M OUT $1200.00 TRANSMISSION HAS A WARRANTY BUT LABOR MONEY IS GONE PLUS I'M PAYING INTEREST ON THAT MONEY NOW. I ALWAYS CHANGED MY OIL PUT BRAKES ON TIRES WHATEVER THE CAR NEEDED I DID. I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW AND HIT HAD A 3/36000 BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY. THE WHEEL BEARING WENT OUT AT 38 OR 39000 MILES THEY SAID I WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. I HAVE A 5/100000 MILE WARRANTY ON THE TRANSMISSION AND I'M 3 MONTHS AND 9000 MILES OVER I CANT IMAGINE THEY WOULD DO ANYTHING TO HELP WITH THAT SINCE THEY DIDN'T DO ANYTHING ON A $100.00 PART..VERY DISGUSTED WITH THE RELIABILITY ON THESE NEW CARS. IS THERE ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS PLEASE LET ME KNOW..I DRIVE ABOUT 22-25000 MILES A YEAR TO WORK.. THANK YOU *TR

I BOUGHT MY CAR MARCH 2015 AND I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS SINCE I GOT IT. I STILL OWE $ 8000.00 ON IT AND THE GM COMPANY TOLD ME MY MOTOR IS BLOWED. MY FATHER IS A MECHANIC AND TOOK A LOOK AND SAID HE BELIEVES MY CAR JUMPED TIME BECAUSE MY WATER PUMP QUIT. MORGAN MCCLURE TOLD ME THEY WOULD FIX IT BUT IT WILL COST ME 3500 DOLLARS. I THINK ALL THESE CARS NEED TO BE TAKEN OFF ROAD AND EVERYONE WHO HAS HAD ISSUES SHOULD GET PLACED IN ANOTHER CAR.. I AM PAYING A TOTAL OF 17,000 FOR MY CAR AND ITS NOT EVEN DRIVABLE. I WILL NEVER BY ANOTHER CRUZE AND I WILL LET EVERYONE KNOW THE ISSUES SO THEY DON'T BUY ONE EARTHIER. IVE BEEN RIPPED OFF WITH THIS CAR SINCE THE DAY I BOUGHT IT . THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO MY CAR.. I DROVE MY CAR TO WORK WITH NO ISSUES. WHEN I GOT OFF WORK I CRANK MY CAR AND DROVE IT TO MORGAN MCCLURE TO GET A RESERVOIR CAP FOR MY CAR BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T TIGHTEN DOWN LIKE IT WAS STRIPPED. I CUT MY CAR OFF WENT IN TO MORGAN MCCLURE AND BOUGHT CAP. PUT IT ON AND MY CAR WOULDN'T CRANK BACK. THEY LOOKED AT CAR AND CHARGED ME $35.00 FOR LOOKING AT IT FOR 2 SECONDS TO TELL ME IT HAS NO COMPRESSION AND MY MOTOR IS BLOWED. THEY TOLD ME THEY CAN FIX IT BUT I NEED A NEW OR USED MOTOR AND IT WILL COST $3500.00.

MY CAR HESITATE SOMETIME DURING DRIVING AT LOW SPEED OR HIGH SPEED AND THE STABILI TRAK LIGHT APPEAR, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON EVEN WHEN I HAVE REPLACED THE PART NEEDED..
