2011 Chevrolet Cruze complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET CRUZE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SERVICE STABILITY TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY AND THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL HESITATED TO RESPOND. ON THE FIRST OCCASION, THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING AT 20 MPH AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. ON A SECOND OCCASION, THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE EACH TIME BUT THE FAILURE WAS PROGRESSING. THE FAILURE CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO GO INTO A LIMP MODE EACH TIME. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TWICE AND THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE AND DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER A THIRD TIME WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE ALTERNATOR ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS LEFT FOR A DIAGNOSIS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,000.

ENGINE COOLANT SMELL INSIDE CABIN. HEAT MUST BE ON. THE VAPORS ARE STRONG ENOUGH TO IRRITATE THE EYES AND THROAT. THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED DURING SUMMER AND SMELL STARTED WHEN IT TURNED COLD AND HAS CONTINUED

THIS MORNING THERE WAS FROST ON MY WINDSHIELD I STARTED MY DEFROST WHEN FROST WAS MELTING I TURNED ON WIPERS TO REMOVE MELTED FROST MY DRIVER SIDE WIPER STARTED SKIPPING AND THEN STUCK IN THE VERTICAL POSITION AND NOW ITS LOOSE AND DO NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY.

STABILITY TRAC AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT APPEARS, VEHICLE EXPERIENCES IMMEDIATE LOSS OF POWER. EXPERIENCED WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY ATTEMPTING TO CHANGE LANES. DUE TO THE SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER I WAS NEARLY STRUCK BY A BIG RIG. DEALER CAN NOT IDENTIFY CODES ONLY CODE THAT APPEARED WAS PO171,FUEL TRIM LEAN CODE WAS ADDRESSED BY DEALER, DEALER CLAIMS ORIGINAL COMPLAINT WAS TIED TO THE P0171 CODE. WHILE DRIVING HOME EXPERIENCED SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER AND ROUGH SHIFTING. NO WARNING LIGHTS OR INDICATORS APPEARED. VEHICLE SMELLS LIKE BURNT OIL, AND NOTICED A LOUD TICKING NOISE. NOTIFIED DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT IS NORMAL VEHICLE WILL BE FINE AFTER 400 MILES OF DRIVING. MY FAMILIES LIFE WILL BE PLACED IN JEAPORDY FOR THE NEXT 400 MILES. THE UNRESPONSIVE ACCELERATION AND SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.

HAVE HAD REPEATED ISSUES WITH SERVICE STABILITRAK LIGHT COMING ON WHILE DRIVING AND THEN POWER BEING REDUCED TO VEHICLE, CAUSING UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITIONS; FOLLOWING RECALL TO REPROGRAM COMPUTER ENGINE FAN RAN CONTINUALLY FOR DAYS; CAR DIED WHEN STARTONG, DEALER REPLACED COMPUTER TRIED TO RETURN WITH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON, NOW STABILITRAK ISSUE HAS RECURRED AGAIN. NOT CONFIDENT THAT DEALERSHIP HAS ANY CLUE WHAT IS REALLY WRONG WITH THIS CAR. THE DEALERSHIP'S MOST RECENT GUESS IS THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION BUT THAT THEY ARE GETTING A CODE THEY DON'T RECOGNIZE.

A RECALL ON THE VALVE- COVER GASKET POTENTIALLY CAUSING A FIRE FROM OIL LEAKAGE HAS BEEN REPORTED IN THE LOCAL PAPER, BUT NOT ON MY MAKE/MODEL. I HAVE THE OIL LEAKAGE AND CAN SMELL IT BURNING OFF SOMETHING. THIS WAS NOT A PROBLEM UNTIL AFTER THE DEALERSHIP HAD TO REBUILD MY TRANSMISSION. MY CAR HAS 74,000 MILES.

WHEN THE CABIN HEATING SYSTEM IS ACTIVATED IN COOL/COLD WEATHER.(THE TEMP SETTING INDICATOR TO MAX HEAT AND THE CAR ENGINE IS AT THE NORMAL OPERATING RANGE). THERE IS A BURNT RUBBER SMELL OR EXHAUST SMELL THAT COMES OUT OF THE VENTILATION SYSTEM. THE DEALER HAS BEEN UNABLE TO FIND THE CAUSE. THE SMELL WILL GO AWAY IF THE TEMP SETTING IS REDUCE TO THE COLD SIDE OF THE SCALE (IE THE BLUE LINE AND NOT THE RED LINE). I HAVE READ OF OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE BUT DID NOT FIND IT ON THIS SITE. IN THE WORST CASE THIS MAY BE CO LEAKING INTO THE CABIN OR IT COULD BE RELATED TO SOME RUBBER LIKE COMPONENT OFF-GASING BECAUSE OF THE HOT AIR. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS MOVING OR STANDING STILL, BUT THE ENGINE MUST BE IN THE NORMAL OPERATING TEMP RANGE AS SHOWN ON THE TEMP GAUGE. THIS HAS OCCUR EVERY YEAR SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET CRUZE. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE GLOVE BOX LIGHTING STARTED TO FLICKER AND THE EXTERIOR LIGHTING FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL CLAMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED UNDER TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN NUMBER: 14311 AND NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 10057574 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM); HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,710.

WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE INTO AN BUSY INTERSECTION, I FLOORED MY CAR AND QUICKLY REALIZED MY ENGINE HAD DRASTICALLY REDUCED POWER. THE CAR WAS HARDLY MOVING. THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING BUT THERE WAS NO ACCELERATION. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS OR ANYTHING, JUST NO ACCELERATION. LUCKILY, THE DRIVER BARRELING UP BEHIND WAS ABLE TO MOVE OVER INTO THE OTHER LANE OR IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT.

MOST OF THE MILES I PUT ON A CAR ARE HIGHWAY MILES. I HAVE A 90 MILE ROUND TRIP TO GET TO WORK. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS APPROXIMATELY 2 YEARS AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR AND HAD ROUGHLY 60,000 MILES ON IT (SUMMER OF 2013). THE A/C SHUT OFF AND THE WATER TEMPERATURE ROSE VERY QUICKLY. I TOPPED OFF THE COOLANT AND DIDN'T HAVE ANY MORE TROUBLE FOR AWHILE. ABOUT THIS SAME TIME I STARTED GETTING A SICKLY SWEET BURNT OIL SMELL IN THE CAR. VERY STRONG SMELL WHEN STOPPED AND THERE'S NO AIR FLOW TO DISSIPATE THE FUMES. JUST RECENTLY IT HAPPENED AGAIN. SAME THING, A/C SHUT OFF, WATER TEMP INDICATOR PEGGED OUT AND I GOT A MESSAGE SAYING "GO TO IDLE" OR SOMETHING TO THAT EFFECT. THERE WAS COOLANT SITTING ON TOP OF THE ENGINE. WITH THE CAR AT IDLE I COULD ONLY FIND A SMALL LEAK AT THE RADIATOR HOSE WHERE IT PLUGS INTO THE WATER OUTLET. I ASSUME THE LEAK IS MUCH WORSE WHEN THE WATER TEMP GOES UP AND THE SYSTEM PRESSURIZES. EVERY 50 MILES OR SO NOW I HAVE TO CHECK THE COOLANT LEVEL OR RISK ANOTHER OVERTEMP. NEXT IS THE TRANSMISSION. I HATE THIS TRANSMISSION. IT'S VERY JERKY WHEN SHIFTING AND HAS BEEN SINCE DAY 1. I THOUGHT MAYBE AS I DROVE THE CAR IT WOULD SMOOTH OUT EVENTUALLY. NO IT DID NOT. IT'S ESPECIALLY BAD IF YOU ARE COASTING TO A STOP BUT RESUME ACCELERATION BEFORE STOPPING. FINALLY, THE BRAKES HAVE A GLITCH. FROM MY DRIVEWAY I BACK SLIGHTLY UPHILL AND THEN DOWNHILL INTO THE ROAD. AT THIS POINT I HAVE TO STAND ON THE BRAKE PEDAL OR SHIFT INTO DRIVE IF I EXPECT TO STOP. IT SEEMS

ALMOST TO INTO A HUGE ACCIDENT DRIVING ON THE HIGH WAY AT A SPEED OF 35MPH WHEN MY CAR SLOWED DOWN WITH MY FOOT STILL ON THE GAS. IT FELT LIKE MY GEARS WERE SHIFTING WITHOUT ME SHIFTING THEM. I REALLY DON'T KNOW TO MUCH ABOUT CARS BUT I KNOW THIS WASN'T SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING

I TRY TO START MY CAR AND THE CAR WILL STRUGGLE TO START OR SOMETIMES NOT TURN OVER AT ALL AND NO WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD POP UP. I HAD RECIEVED A RECALL NOTICE IN THE MAIL A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO ABOUT THE POWER TRAIN. WHEN I READ UP ON IN IT SAID IT MAY MAKE THE CAR NOT RESTART. NOW IF I TURN THE IGNITION TO WHERE ALL THE LIGHTS POP UP & PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL, THE CAR WILL START UP EASIER FOR ME. I NO LONGER HAVE THE NOTICE AND AM WONDERING WHAT I SHOULD DO. WHEN I TYPE IN MY VIN # IT SAY IT DOESNT HAVE ANY OPEN RECALLS, YET I RECIEVED A NOTICE.

I WAS INJURED IN ACCIDENT.... HIT A STATIONARY VEHICLE.... THERE'S SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE...MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY... I AM SUFFERING FROM A SEVERE CERVICAL STRAIN, SEVERE NECK SPRAIN WITH INFLATION CAUSING SEVERE HEADACHES, A SEVERE UPPER AND LOWER BACK SPRAIN WITH INFLAMMATION CASING PRESSURE ON MY SCIATIC NERVE... I CANNOT LIFT, BEND , STAND , SIT, LIE DOWN FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME, I EVEN HAVE TO HAVE HELP JUST TOO BATHE.. I BELIEVE THAT HAD DEPLOYED... MY INJURIES WERE NOT HAVE BEEN SO SEVERE.

PRACTICALLY EVERY DAY I DRIVE MY CAR, I EXPERIENCE EXTREME SHIFTING AND TRANSMISSION ISSUES. SPECIFICALLY, I HAVE TO FLOOR THE GAS PEDAL FOR THE CAR TO MOVE FROM 2ND TO 3RD SHIFT. THIS IS AN AUTOMATIC CAR, AND IT DRIVES LIKE A POORLY SHIFTING MANUAL. IT IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE IT DOES NOT ACCELERATE WHEN I HIT THE GAS PEDAL, RATHER THE ENGINE REVS VERY HIGH AND LOUDLY, YET THE CAR DOES NOT ACCELERATE. IT ALSO HAS MADE LOUD POPPING SOUNDS FROM THE ENGINE, AND THE CAR FILLS WITH AN EXHAUST SMELL, AND DURING THE WINTER COOLANT SMELL IS OBVIOUS IN AND OUTSIDE THE CAR. I AM VERY UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVING-AND FEEL UNSAFE-DRIVING THIS CAR AND IT IS ALMOST FOUR YEARS OLD WITH LESS THAN 50,000 MILES! I HAVE BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP ON THE BELOW DATES AND THEY CANNOT ?DUPLICATE THE ISSUE?, THUS HAVE NOT FIXED IT. ON ONE OCCASION, THE DEALERSHIP HAD MY CAR FOR 3-WEEKS! I HAVE NO IDEA IF THE DEALERSHIP IS EVEN DAILY TESTING, OR DRIVING, THE CAR. I DO KNOW, HOWEVER, IT IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE BECAUSE THE SHIFTING AND ACCELERATING IS UNRELIABLE AND WILL MOST DOUBTABLE CAUSE AN ACCIDENT INJURING MYSELF AND/OR OTHERS. I HAVE ALSO CALLED GM AND NUMEROUS OCCASIONS AND THEY WERE VERY UNHELPFUL, STATING THEY NEVER HEARD OF A SHIFTING/TRANSMISSION ISSUE WITH THE CHEVY CRUZE, WHEN IN FACT THE 2011 CHEVY CRUZE WAS RECALLED FOR SHIFTING LOCK CABLE. I HAVE RECEIVED, UNSOLICITED; A LETTER FROM A LAWFIRM TO SUE GM NOTING THIS EXACT ISSUES SHIFTING/POWER ISSUES (AMONGST FAULTY WATER PUMPS, WHIC

MY HUSBAND NOTICED THE COOLANT LEVEL WAS LOW WHILE CHANGING MY OIL. HE FILLED UP THE COOLANT COMPARTMENT. A WEEK LATER, MY BATTERY DIED, SO WHEN MY HUSBAND WHEN TO JUMP MY CAR, HE NOTICED THE COOLANT LEVEL WAS ONCE AGAIN LOW AND THAT THERE WAS COOLANT PRESENT ON THE ENGINE HOSES. HE FILLED UP THE COOLANT AGAIN AND IT IS STEADILY LEAKING COOLANT WHEN THE CAR IS RUNNING. I RECEIVED A LETTER IN THE MAIL FROM GM IN 2014 ABOUT POSSIBLE COOLANT LEAK. THE LETTER TOLD ME TO TAKE MY VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE IF THERE WERE ANY ISSUES WITH THE ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM. I WAS NOT HAVING ISSUES WITH ENGINE COOLING AT THE TIME, AND I PUT THE LETTER TO THE SIDE. TWO MONTHS AGO, MY AC BROKE DUE TO A ROCK HITTING IT. WHEN I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP FOR THE AC, THEY NOTICED THE OPEN RECALL FOR THE COOLING SYSTEM AND RECOMMENDED I HAVE IT LOOKED AT WHILE I WAS THERE. THEY PROCEEDED TO INSPECT THE ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM, AT WHICH TIME IT PASSED THEIR INSPECTION. NOW TWO MONTH LATER, THE PROBLEM IS PRESENT AND THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THAT IT WILL NOT BE COVERED SINCE THAT RECALL IS NO LONGER "OPEN" ON MY VEHICLE. THAT IS NOT FAIR IN MY OPINION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET CRUZE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,278.

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON IN THE VEHICLE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED TO GET IT INSPECTED AND HAVE THE CODE READ. THEY SAID THAT THE CODE WAS DUE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL POSITION SENSOR AND IT NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED FOR APPROXIMATELY $500. THE VEHICLE WAS JUST BARELY OUT OF WARRANTY WHEN THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED. MANY TIMES, WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING AND IN THE IDLE STATE WITH THE BRAKE DOWN, THE ENGINE WILL LURCH FORWARD AS IF IT HAD A JOLT OF ENERGY. THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY AND ON DIFFERENT ELEVATIONS AND LOCATIONS WHILE THE CAR IS STOPPED. IT WORRIES ME THAT THE CAR WILL LURCH FORWARD WHILE STOPPED AND HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, WHICH IS WHY IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN. I FEEL AS THOUGHT THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COSTS TO REPAIR THIS BRAKE SENSOR AND IT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A RECALL ON THE VEHICLE. I HAVE READ OF MANY OTHER CUSTOMERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE ON THE VEHICLE MODEL AND YEAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET CRUZE. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ENGAGE THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE BRAKES FAILED TO RESPOND AND EXTENDED TO THE FLOORBOARD SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO WAS NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE OR DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT HAD TO PUMP THE BRAKES TO GET THE BRAKE PEDAL TO RESPOND. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER, WHO REPLACED THE BRAKE BOOSTER VACUUM PIPE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V360000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,136. UPDATED 09/10/15*LJ

THIS HAPPENED TWICE: I WAS GOING DOWN A MOUNTAIN IN SOUTHWESTERN VA, WHERE I AM FROM, AND IT WAS LIKE THE BRAKES WERE GRABBING. I COULD FEEL IT IN THE BRAKE PEDDLE, STEERING WHEEL, AND FLOOR. I THOUGHT THEY WERE NOT GOING TO STOP ME. WE PULLED THE FRONT TIRES TO CHECK THE BRAKES AND ROTORS, AND THEY ARE BOTH FINE..THE PASSENGER WITH ME COULD FEEL IT TOO BOTH TIMES.

I FRIGHTENED AND ALMOST HIT A PEDESTRIAN WHILE AT A COMPLETE STOP DURING A RED LIGHT BECAUSE THE VEHICLE JERKED BACK AND FORTH. THE VEHICLE FELT AS IF IT WAS ON HYDRAULICS. MOMENTS LATER THE ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON AND THE DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE STABILTRAK DISPLAYED ON THE DASHBOARD. ONCE THE LIGHT WAS GREEN AND I PROCEEDED, ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF AND SERVICE CONTROL ALSO WENT AWAY. IT WOULD ONLY JERK BACK AND FORTH ONCE AT A COMPLETE STOP. MY VEHICLE IS DEFINITELY A HAZARD AND NOT SAFE TO DRIVE.

THIS INCIDENT WITH MY CHEVROLET CRUZE HAS HAPPENED ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION IN THE SAME MONTH. I WILL BE DRIVING, COMING TO A STOP AND THE WHOLE CAR WILL TURN OFF ON ME. THE AIR CONDITIONING SHUTS OFF, RADIO, THE WHOLE CAR POWERS DOWN. I PUT THE CAR INTO PARK, TURN OFF THE CAR, WAIT A FEW MINUTES AND TURN THE CAR BACK ON. PRAYING THAT ME AND MY TWO YEAR OLD DON'T GET INTO AN ACCIDENT THROUGHOUT THE INCIDENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET CRUZE. SHORTLY AFTER STARTING THE ENGINE AND DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE BRAKES MALFUNCTIONED. THE PEDAL FELT SOFT AND WOULD NOT ACTIVATE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ELECTRONIC VACUUM PUMP WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V36000 (SERVICE BRAKES). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE SAME FAILURE LISTED IN THE RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 61,400.

IT SAID SERVICE ESP.

WHILE DRIVING THE RADIO SHUTS OFF AND A WARNING POPS UP IN THE CENTER BETWEEN THE SPEEDOMETER AND RPM GAUGE THAT SAYS SERVICE STABILTRAC OR SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL. WHILE THAT HAPPENS THE POWER STEERING SHUTS OFF. THAT'S A NORMAL OCCURRENCE THAT HAPPENS RANDOMLY ONCE OR TWICE DURING MY 20 MILE DRIVE TO WORK, AND ON SHORT DRIVES FOR ERRANDS. TODAY THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF TWICE WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I ALMOST WRECKED 3 TIMES GOING AROUND CORNERS WHEN THE POWER STEERING SHUT OFF ALONG WITH THE RADIO.

I TOOK MY CAR TO THE KASPAR DEALER AND SANDUSKY, OH AND WAS TOLD THE PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR WAS BAD AND THE REPAIR COSTS WOULD BE 800.00. THIS IS ODD BECAUSE AT LEAST 95% OF THE TIME NO ONE SITS IN THAT SEAT. THIS CAR IS NOT OUR FAMILY CAR. IT IS STRICTLY FOR ME TO USE FOR WORK. THIS SEEMS TO ME MORE LIKELY TO BE A DEFECT THAN SOMETHING I SHOULD BE AT FAULT FOR.

TRAVELING BEHIND PASSENGER CAR; CAR IN FRONT APPLIED BRAKES. I APPLIED MY BRAKES BUT CAR DID NOT STOP. STRUCK BACK OF VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET CRUZE. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE POWER ASSIST BRAKES INTERMITTENTLY MALFUNCTIONED AND CAUSED AN INCREASE IN STOPPING DISTANCE. A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V360000 (SERVICE BRAKES) WAS RECEIVED IN OCTOBER OF 2014 AND THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED IN APRIL OF 2015, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

AFTER BUYING MY BRAND NEW 2011 CHEVROLET CRUSE LS STICK SHIFT MODEL ON AUGUST 10, 2011, SOME TIME PASSED. THEN, I NOTICED A MINOR PROBLEM. AND I AM STRESSING MINOR, BECAUSE THIS CAR NOW HAS 40 THOUSAND MILES ON IT AND IS STILL A GREAT CAR, BUT STILL HAS THE EXACT SAME ISSUE AS FOLLOWS: WHEN I TURN THE KEY THE FIRST TIME TO TRY TO START THE VEHICLE, IT MAKES A NOISE BUT THE ENGINE DOES NOT START. THEN, ALWAYS, ON THE SECOND TRY IT FIRES RIGHT UP! I NOTICE THIS MORE OFTEN WHEN THE CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN, AND IS STILL WARM(ENGINE). NOW WITH 40 THOUSAND MILES ON THE VEHICLE, IT IS A LITTLE EASING TO MY MIND KNOWING THAT THIS MAY NOT PROGRESS INTO SOMETHING OF A BIGGER PROBLEM. AT LEAST I HOPE NOT. ANOTHER COUPLE OF PROBLEMS I MUST NOTE IS AS FOLLOWS, BUT HAVE NOT PROVEN TO BE OF ANY CONCERN WHATSOEVER: AT TIMES THERE IS A GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM, PERHAPS THE ENGINE??) WHEN THE CAR IS IDLE, AND IN NEUTRAL, AT SAY, A RED LIGHT OR AT A DRIVE THROUGH WINDOW. DOES NOT OCCUR ALL THE TIME, BUT A LOT OF THE TIME. THIRDLY, THE KEY BROKE OFF WHEN I TRIED TO PULL MY KEYS OUT OF THE IGNITION ONE TIME. THE DEALER WAS VERY SUPPORTIVE ON THIS ISSUE AND FIXED MY KEYS PROMPTLY AND EFFECTIVELY. HOWEVER, I HAVE MENTIONED THE STARTING(MINOR AS IT SEEMS) ISSUE TO MY DEALER WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THEY, AS I LIKELY EXPECTED, TOLD ME THERE WERE NO CODES OR ANYTHING UNUSUAL THEY COULD FIND THAT MAY LEAD TO THIS ISSUE.THUS FAR I RATE MY CRUZE A SOLID 9 OUT OF 10! I ENJOY DRIVING MY VE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET CRUZE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE IGNITION KEY FAILED TO RELEASE FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE GEARS SHIFTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 21,536.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2011 CHEVROLET CRUZE. WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT, THE CONTACT NOTICED SMOKE COMING THROUGH THE VENT AND INTO THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE. MOMENTS LATER, SMOKE AND FLAMES APPEARED UNDER THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE. AFTER EXITING THE VEHICLE, SEVERAL EXPLOSIONS WERE HEARD COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FLAMES. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 46,000.

MANY RECALLS ON VEHICLE, OVER 5. ENGINE ISSUES.. CAR DOES NOT RUN WELL... I'VE TAKEN THE CAR MULTIPLE TIMES IN THE PAST MONTHS..

DRIVER'S SIDE WIPER STOPPED WORKING IN THE RAIN. IT WAS FOUND TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE WIPER TRANSMISSION. THE END CAME OFF THE BASE OF THE WIPER ARM SPINDLE. AFTER SOME RESEARCH THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURER. A RECALL IS IN ORDER DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND THIS PART SHOULD NEVER FAIL LET ALONE ON A CAR THAT HAS NOT BEEN ON THE ROAD 4 YEARS YET.

IT SLIPS OUT OF GEAR AND SHIFTS HARD TRYING TO FIND THE RIGHT GEAR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET CRUZE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED DIFFICULTIES WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START THE ENGINE. THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT ACID RESIDUE WAS PRESENT ON BOTH THE NEGATIVE AND POSITIVE BATTERY CABLE LEADS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THE NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE WAS SERVICED. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE POSITIVE BATTERY CABLE CONTINUED TO EXPERIENCE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

WHEN I TURNED ON MY CAR, MY MESSAGE CENTER WAS IN GERMAN INSTEAD OF ENGLISH. I DID NOTHING TO CHANGE THE LANGUAGE. THE NEXT TIME I TURNED ON MY CAR, IT WAS BACK TO ENGLISH. *TR

I USE THIS SITE TO CHECK FOR OPEN RECALLS FOR MY JOB. I AM WONDERING WHY IT IS SO OUTDATED??? I CAN SEE A FEW WEEKS, BUT A RECALL THAT WAS "POSTED" IN NOVEBER 2014 SHOULD BE ON THIS WEB SITE BY NOW. WHY THE OUTDATED INFORMATION??? *TR

THE CARS STABILITY TRACK INDICATOR, ANTI-THEFT AND SEVERAL OTHER DASH LIGHTS INCLUDING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE CAR WILL NOT START OR ALLOW ME TO REMOVE THE KEY. I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS FORTUNATELY NOT WHEN I AM DRIVING HOWEVER MANY TIMES WHILE I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THE CAR THE CARS ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WILL RESET AND THE CARS POWER SEEMS TO LUG DOWN AND FEELS LIKE IT IS DRAGGING OR BRAKING. REMOVING BATTERY AND REPLACING HELPED IT ONCE. I ALSO NOTICE THE REAR LIGHTS WILL STAY WHEN THE CAR IS IN PARK UNLESS I START THE CAR MOVE IT 2 OR 3' AND PUT IT BACK INTO PARK AGAIN. *TR

A SQUEAK HAS DEVELOPED IN THE STEERING COLUMN. ALTHOUGH GM HAS RECEIVED COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS, THEY HAVE DONE NOTHING TO ISSUE ANY RECALLS. THERE ARE TSO'S ON THIS SINCE OTHER OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED BUT THEY DO NOTHING. NO CAR WITH 23,000 MILES SHOULD HAVE BAD BUSHINGS OR OTHER PROBLEMS WITH STEERING UNLESS THERE ARE DEFECTS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE CAR ONLY HAS 60,000.00 ON IT BUT WE TOOK IT IN BECAUSE THE ENGINE WOULD JUST RANDOMLY STOP AND THE CAR WOULD STALL. THE VEHICLE WHEN BROUGHT INTO THE DEALERSHIP, HAD BEEN INSPECTED AND THE CAR WAS MISSING PARTS. THE INTAKE MANIFOLD NON RETURN VALVE WAS MISSING. THERE WAS A VACUUM LEAK AT THE PCV ORIFICE EXTERNAL PORT. WATER PUMP WAS LEAKING FROM BOLT HOLES AND COVER PLATE. COOLANT LEAK WAS FOUND EVEN THOUGH A FEW MONTHS PRIOR TO THE LEAK, CHEVY "FIXED" THE RECALLED ITEM. I BELIEVE THAT THE VEHICLE HAS MANY FAULTY PARTS AND THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I HAVE WRITTEN A COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS COMPANY USING FAULTY PARTS IN THERE MANUFACTURING PROCESS. *TR

UPON STARTING MY VEHICLE BOTH THE STABILITRAK AND TRACTION LIGHTS WERE ON, TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND THEN BACK ON. LIGHTS REMAINED ON, FIRST REPAIR PLACE SAID STABILITRAK SENSOR, SECOND SAID IT WAS THE WHEEL BEARING. BECAUSE OF THE DIFFERENCES IN OPINION I TOOK IT TO A CHEVY DEALER WHO THEN TOLD ME THE WIRES HAD GONE BAD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT THE COST OF $300. I CONTINUE TO HAVE ELECTRONIC ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE AFTER REPLACING THE BCM TWICE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET CRUZE. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM WOULD ERRONEOUSLY INDICATE THAT THE TIRES WERE NOT FULLY INFLATED. AFTER INSPECTING THE TIRES, THE CONTACT DID NOT DISCOVER A FAILURE. THE CONTACT ALSO INDICATED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE MIRROR FAILED TO ADJUST, WHICH IMPAIRED THE CONTACT'S VISIBILITY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET CRUZE. WHILE DRIVING AT 20 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED A CHEMICAL ODOR COMING FROM THE AIR VENTS IN THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE OR REPAIR THE VEHICLE. HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THERE WAS NO COOLANT IN THE RESERVOIR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE WATER PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE HOSE FROM THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000. UPDATED 6/11/15*CN UPDATED 10/4/2017*CN

THE RECALL (GM RECALL # 12213) WAS PERFORMED ON APRIL 30, 2014. SINCE THIS DATE, THE BRAKES COME ON NO MATTER WHAT SPEED YOU'RE GOING. ALL OF THE BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON, EVEN WHEN FOOT IS ON THE ACCELERATOR AND THE CAR WILL SLOWLY START TO SLOW DOWN. IT ALSO CAUSES THE CRUISE CONTROL TO DISENGAGE AND THE CAR TO SLOW DOWN. SAFETY NOTICE #14417 COOLANT LEVELS LOW I HAVE TAKEN MY CRUZE IN TO THE DEALERSHIP ON THE FOLLOWING DATES: 8/14/2013, 4/30/2014, 5/6/2014, AND 11/7/2014. EACH TIME I WAS TOLD THE CAR WAS FINE. I AM ADDING A HALF A GALLON OF ANTI-FREEZE EVERY 2-3 WEEKS. THE SERVICE REPORT FROM 4/30/2014 SAYS THEY FOUND A FAULTY PUMP LEAKING OUT COOLANT AND IT WAS REPLACED. THEN WHY IS COOLANT STILL LEAKING? LAST, BUT CERTAINLY NOT LEAST, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, CODE PO240. THE DEALERSHIP KEEPS TELLING ME IT IS THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND IT IS NOT. THERE IS NO LOSS OF POWER AND NO ROTTING EGG SMELL. SO INSTEAD OF CHANGING PARTS UNDER WARRANTY THAT COME UP WITH THE CODE, THEY CHECKED 2 ITEMS FOR THE 4 TIME EACH (WHICH HAVE BEEN FIXED) AND THEY CHECKED THE PARTS I CHANGED MYSELF BUT THEY NEVER CHANGED THE O2 SENSORS WHICH ARE THE PROBABLE ISSUE. THEY RESET THE CODE TO SEE IF THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. IT DID. WHEN I RETURNED 6 DAYS LATER, MY WARRANTY MILEAGE WAS PAST BY 677 MILES AND INSTEAD OF CALLING IT A CONTINUATION FROM THE PREVIOUS VISIT WHERE THE PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED, THEY STARTED A NEW WORK ORDER AND IMMEDIATELY WANTED TO CHANGE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. I HAD ON-STAR AT THE TIM

I'VE HAD NUMEROUS OF MANIACAL ISSUES WITH THE CHEVROLET CRUZE 2011. THE MOST SERIOUS AND DEADLIEST IS THE COOLANT SYSTEM ISSUES THE CHEVROLET CRUZE 2011 HAS. I WAS EXPERIENCING A COUGH ALONG WITH MIGRAINES ONCE ENGAGING THE AIR-CONDITION NUBS FROM HEAT TO AC AND SOME SLEEPING CONDITION WHERE I'D FIND MYSELF SPEAKING WHILE ASLEEP MOMENTARILY AWAKING. I'D WIND MY WINDOWS DOWN WHILE DRIVING AND I'D SEE THAT THE MIGRAINES, COUGHING ALONG WITH SLEEPING EXPERIENCES WOULD STOP. I VISITED MY CHEVROLET CRUZE 2011 DEALERSHIP AND EXPLAINED THE ODOR THAT WAS COMING FROM MY AIR COOLING SYSTEM. THEY CLEANED MY AIR COOLING SYSTEM AND REPLACED MY CABIN FILTER FEELING THAT THIS MAINTENANCE SOLVED THE ISSUES I WAS HAVING I FELT I COULD USE THE COOLING SYSTEM WITH NO PROBLEM. I WAS WRONG. THE MIGRAINES RETURN ALONG WITH THE COUGHING AND THE ODOR WHEN ADJUSTING THE COOLING SYSTEM NUBS. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO EXPLAIN THE ONGOING MANIACAL PROBLEM. AFTER A WEEK OF HAVING MY WINDOWS DOWN MY CAR RAN HOT AND COME TO MY DISMAY IT WAS OUT OF COOLANT. I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM CHEVROLET RECALL DEPARTMENT THAT THE VEHICLE HAS A COOLANT SYSTEM ISSUE WERE COOLANT LEAKS AND THAT WAS THE ODOR. THE COOLANT WAS LEAKING ONTO THE MOTOR AND BURNING OFF RETURNING THE ODOR INTO THE CAB OF THE CAR. I HAD IT TESTED FOR REPAIRS AND HAD A WATER PUMP REPAIRED FOR THE VEHICLE, THIS DID NOT STOP THE PROBLEM, THE HOSE FROM THE MOTOR AND COOLANT RESERVOIR WAS REPLACED, DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM AND THE LEAKING OF COOLANT CO

NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE INDICATING THAT THIS WOULD SUDDENLY HAPPEN BUT IT DID. I WOULD HEAT UP MY CAR IN THE MORNING AND THE REDUCED ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON, I WOULD TURN THE CAR OFF AND THEN BACK ON IN A COUPLE OF MINUTES AND IT WOULD DRIVE FINE. THIS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES BUT THEN I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 55 MPH AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ENGINE AND STABILITRAC LIGHT COMES ON AND SAYS REDUCED ENGINE POWER AND THE CAR SLOWS DOWN ABOUT 5 MPH IMMEDIATELY. THIS OCCURRED 3 TIMES ON MY WAY HOME THAT IS NORMALLY ONLY A 10 MINUTE DRIVE, THE VERY NEXT MORNING IT DID IT AGAIN WHEN STARTING IT UP IN THE MORNING TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THIS HAPPENS IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND THANKFULLY DID NOT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT BUT IT COULD IF THIS WOULD OF HAPPENED ON THE EXPRESSWAY. THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE WITH THE 2011 CHEVROLET CRUZE ON THE COMPLAINT FORUMS ABOUT THE THROTTLE BODY (DEALERSHIP CONFIRMED THIS ISSUE). THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS! *TR

MY CHEVROLET DEALER INFORMED ME THAT MY 2011 CHEVY CRUZE HAS A LEAK IN THE TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER LINES. IS THERE OR WILL THERE BE A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. I NOTICED (NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER:14V152000) THE CHEVY SILVERADO, SUBURBAN, SIERRA, TAHOE, AND YUKON HAD A RECALL FOR TRANSMISSION COOLER LINE ISSUES. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF/WHEN CHEVROLET WILL REIMBURSE FOR THE REPLACEMENT AND REPAIR FOR THIS HEALTH AND SAFETY ISSUE(POTENTIAL VEHICLE FIRE). THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION REGARDING THIS MATTER. *TR

ABOUT A MONTH AND A HALF AGO I HAD TAKEN MY CRUZE IN FOR SERVICE WHERE I WAS PURCHASED MY 2011 CHEVY CRUZE. I HAD A RECALL ON A COOLANT LEAK AT THE PUMP. I HAD TAKEN IT IN FOR SERVICE AND OIL CHANGE. THE LADY I HAD COMMUNICATED WITH ABOUT THE PROBLEM I WAS HAVING ABOUT A BURNT SMELL WHEN I TURNED ON MY HEAT. SHE INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS NO PROBLEMS OR LEAK. ONE DAY WHEN I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK I STARTED CHOCKING AND MY EYES WHERE BURNING FROM AN INTENSE BURNING SMELL. WHEN I ARRIVED AT HOME I POPPED MY HOOD AND NOTICED THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO COOLANT IN MY OVERFLOW TANK. I THEN CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND TOLD THEM WHAT I WAS EXPERIENCING WITH MY CRUZE. THEY TOOK ACTION AND HAD MY CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY REPLACED THE PUMP AND COOLANT LINES WHERE THERE WAS A LEAK FREE OF CHARGE. (SHE NO IONGER WORKS FOR THE DEALERSHIP) I DO NOT KNOW HOW LONG I WAS DRIVING MY CRUZE WITHOUT ANY COOLANT. I STILL HAVE A CONTINUOUS SMELL OF SOMETHING BURNING AND HAVE TO TAKE IT IN FOR SERVICE AGAIN. I ALSO EXPERIENCE A SHACK WHEN THE CAR IS AT AN IDOL. IM BEING TO QUESTION MY PURCHASE OF MY CHEVY CRUZE. HOPEFULLY WHEN I TAKE IT IN FOR SERVICE THEY ARE ABLE TO PIN POINT THE PROBLEMS AND THAT THE LAST VISIT I NEED TO MAKE TO THE DEALERSHIP. *JS

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR HOME FROM WORK AT THE END OF JANUARY, I FELT IT SUDDENLY SLOW DOWN ON ITS OWN. I HAD A MESSAGE ON MY DISPLAY TO SERVICE STABILITRAK AND ENGINE POWER REDUCED. I HAD NO POWER TO THE CAR AND HAD TO PULL OFF THE ROAD. I TURNED MY CAR OFF FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES AND THEN BACK ON, IT STARTED AND RAN FINE THE REST OF THE WAY HOME. THEN AGAIN TODAY, FEB. 24TH, 2015, WHILE DRIVING TO WORK, IT DID THE EXACT SAME THING. I HAD TO MOVE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IN EARLY MORNING TRAFFIC (NOT AN EASY THING TO DO!), AND TURN MY CAR OFF. I WAITED FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES, STARTED IT AND DROVE THE REST OF THE WAY INTO WORK WITHOUT PROBLEMS. AFTER READING THE MANY COMPLAINTS OF THE EXACT SAME SITUATIONS, I WOULD THINK IT'S TIME FOR A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT DUE TO THE SUDDEN REDUCTION OF POWER!! *JS
