2012 Chevrolet Cruze complaints

ENGINE OVERHEATED, GOT THAT FIXED. NOT EVEN 3 WEEKS LATER, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AGAIN'CAR SHAKES WHEN STOPPED AND STILL SOUNDS LIKE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING WHEN THE CAR IS OFF.

THE DEFROST QUIT WORKING WHILE WE HAD -50 DEGREE TEMPERATURES THIS WINTER. MY CAR COULD NOT KEEP THE WINDSHIELD CLEAR TO SEE. IT WAS IN MOTION WHEN IT BEGAN GETTING MORE AND MORE FOGGY. NOW HEAR A GEAR WENT OUT IN THE VENT SYSTEM

PCV VALVE COVER GASKET KEEPS HAVING LEAK ISSUES. IN THREE YEARS I HAVE REPLACE THREE PCV VALVE COVER GASKETS. I HAVE TALKED WITH THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AND THEY ADMIT THAT IT'S A DESIGN FLAW PROBLEM. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE HAD TO PURCHASE THIS THREE TIMES AND HAVE IT PUT ON ONE EACH TIME.

TRANSMISSION MODULE CONTROL BAD. CAR JERKS WHEN PUT IN GEAR AND TAKES OFF VERY SLOW OR NOT AT ALL. VERY DANGEROUS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET CRUZE. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN SWERVING ACROSS THE ROAD AND THE CONTACT LOST COMPLETE CONTROL. THE VEHICLE ALSO MADE AN ABNORMAL ANIMAL SOUND, SIMILAR TO A COW MOO-ING. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN AND JERKED VIOLENTLY BACK AND FORTH. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO PULL THE VEHICLE OVER AS IT LOST POWER. THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO JIMMY VASSER CHEVROLET (583 SOSCOL AVE, NAPA, CA 94559, (707) 255-7600) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT NO FAILURES WERE FOUND. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THERE WAS NO FAILURE WITH THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES AND STATED THAT A NEW TRANSMISSION WAS NEEDED. THE MANUFACTURER OFFERED TO PAY 10% OF THE REPAIR COST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 123,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET CRUZE. WHILE DRIVING, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE JERKED AND SHUDDERED, AND THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTING WAS AFFECTED. THE CONTACT PROVIDED THE DEALER (TURNER CHEVROLET, 1251 PAXTON ST, HARRISBURG, PA 17104, (866) 629-7151) WITH ENGINE CODES: P015B (O2 SENSOR DELAYED RESPONSE FOR OXYGEN SENSOR) AND PO171 (BANK 1 SYSTEM 2 LEAN). THE DEALER WAS SUPPOSED TO CALL THE CONTACT BACK TO EXPLAIN THE CODES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 96,600.

I OWN BOTH A 2012 & 2013 CRUZ AND THEY BOTH HAVE A LEAK IN THE SAME PLACE. I ALSO HAVE A CO-WORK THAT HAS ONE AND IS HAVE THE SAME WATER LEAK AT FIRST I TOUGHHT MY CAR HAD BEEN WRECKED BUT IT SEEMS THAT IF IT'S NOT JUST ME IT IS NOT THE CASE

PURCHASED MY 2012 CHEVY CRUZE MARCH OF 2016. JULY 2016 THE CAR WILL CONTINUE TO RUN AFTER THE KEY WAS OUT IGNITION I TOOK IT TO NAPERVILLE CHEVY THEY CHANGED THERMOSTAT. OCTOBER 2016 THE CAR WOULD RUN ON HIGHWAY OR STREET ALL OF A SUDDEN SERVICE TRACTION LIGHT COMES ON THE CAR ONLY GO TO 20MPH SUDDENLY THEN IT WILL TURN OFF. TOOK IT TO CHEVY AGAIN THEY SAID TRANS MODULE THEY FIXED IT MARCH 2017 IT HAPPENED AGAIN THEY DIDN'T KNOW THE PROBLEM BECAUSE NO ENGINE LIGHT ON IT HAPPENED EVERY 4 MONTHS OCTOBER 2018 TRANS LINE LEAKING WITH THE SAME SIGN NO FASTER THAN 20MPH JERKING THEY FIXED LINES JANUARY 2019 CAR JERKING AGAIN CAR GOES 20 MPH BUT THE CAR WILL STOP AT STOP SIGN AND WILL I ACCELERATE TO GO THE CAR WON'T MOVE AT ALL I HAVE TO TURN IT OFF TO DRIVE AGAIN

TURBO CHARGER VALVE FAILED CAUSING MULTIPLE OTHER ISSUES. CAR SHUTS OFF RANDOMLY. STABILITY TRACK KEEPS COMING ON EVEN AFTER THE WIRE TO THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED.

MY BRAKES KEEP GOING "HARD" AND NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. ABOUT A YEAR AGO I HAD MY MASTER CYLANDER, BRAKE BOOSTER, MICROSWITCH IN THE BRAKE VACUUM LINE, MAF SENSOR AND AIR INTAKE HOSE REPLACED BECAUSE THE MECHANIC SAID THOSE WERE THE ISSUES, I WENT 2 WEEKS WITHOUT MY VEHICLE, INCLUDING BREAKING DOWN FOR MULTIPLE DAYS OUT OF STATE. NOW HERE I AM WITH THE SAME ISSUES. BEFORE I HAD THEM REPLACED I WAS TOLD THAT THE MICROSWITCH IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM WAS ALREADY RECALLED AND REPLACED. BUT SINCE THEN IT HAS FAILED AGAIN. I WAS TOLD BY CHEVY THAT THEY ONLY DO THE RECALL ONCE, BUT IF THEY ARE REPLACING IT WITH A FAULTY PART SHOULDN'T THAT BE RECALLED AGAIN? I HAVE TWO TODDLERS IN MY VEHICLE REGULARLY AND LOSING THE POWER BRAKES COULD END VERY BAD. THE POWER BRAKES FAIL ALMOST EVERY DAY, USUALLY THE FIRST TIME I HIT THE BRAKES AFTER STARTING TO VEHICLE. WITCH MAKE ME THINK THAT ITS GOING TO COMPLETELY FAIL AGAIN SOON.

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE WIPER STOPPED WORKING ON THE CENTER

I AM HAVING ISSUES WITH MY TURBO. AFTER TAKING IT TO MY MECHANIC I AM TOLD THAT IT IS A COMMON ISSUE

CAR WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT, READY TO MAKE A LEFT-TURN AND COMPLETELY SHUT OFF FOR NO REASON. IT TURNED ON AFTER SOME MINUTES BUT THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE (HTTPS://WWW.CARGURUS.COM/CARS/DISCUSSION-T65940_DS765514) OF THE SAME ISSUE WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL (INCLUDING NEWER ONES), A LOT BEING WHILE THE CAR IS ACTUALLY DRIVING. THIS IS SO DANGEROUS!! WE DON'T FEEL SAFE CONTINUING TO OPERATE THE CAR SINCE FINDING OUT IT'S A RECURRENT PROBLEM FOR PEOPLE WITH THIS CAR WHO HAVE HAD NO RESOLUTION EVEN AFTER FILING MULTIPLE CLAIMS WITH CAR COMPANY AND TAKING IT TO THE MECHANIC.

OVERHEATS REGULARLY EVEN WITH ANTIFREEZE, STOPS READING COOLANT TEMPERATURE RANDOMLY

I WAS LEAVING WORK, ONTO A BUSY STREET AND THE HEADLIGHTS FLICKERED, THE CHECK ENGINE ICON APPEARED ON THE DASH, ALONG WITH ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL & SERVICE STABILI TRAK. MY CAR SLOWED DOWN TO ABOUT 5 MILES AND I WAS ALMOST HIT. I REVERSED BACK INTO MY COMPANY'S LOT. SOMEONE SCANNED MY CAR AND THE CODE WAS FOR P2135. DOING RESEARCH, I FOUND IT WAS A PREVIOUS RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE BUT CAN'T FIND ANY NOW.

THE OIL HOUSING UNIT IS LEAKING CAUSING OIL TO LEAK INTO THE ENGINE AND BURN POTENTIALLY CAUSING A FIRE.

FROM THE TIME I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE (OFF LEASE) THE TRANSMISSION NEVER FELT RIGHT. THE CAR WOULD JERK FROM GEAR TO GEAR AND THE RPMS WOULD SKY ROCKET. I EXPRESSED THIS CONCERN MULTIPLE TIMES WITH THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM AND THEY ASSURED ME EVERYTHING WAS OKAY AND THAT IT WAS JUST THE TYPE OF TRANSMISSION. AFTER JUST GETTING MY CAR OUT OF THE SHOP FOR A SEPARATE ISSUE THE CRUZE LEFT ME ON THE SIDE OF A VERY BUSY HIGHWAY THAT IS NOTORIOUS FOR ACCIDENTS. AS I TRIED TO SPEED UP THE RPMS WOULD ONCE AGAIN SKY ROCKET BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. AFTER ABOUT A MINUTE OF THIS HAPPENING I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AFTER PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK I SAT FOR A MOMENT. WHEN TRYING TO DRIVE THE CAR JUST WOULD NOT MOVE. I TRIED FORWARD AND REVERSE AND NEITHER WORKED. SO THERE I SAT WITH CAR WHIZZING BY ME WITH A CAR THAT DID NOT WORK. AFTER TOWING THE CAR TO THE SHOP HE GAVE ME THE GUT WRENCHING NEW THAT MY 7 YEAR OLD CAR'S TRANSMISSION IS SHOT. I NOW HAVE A $4,000 REPAIR WHICH I CANNOT AFFORD. OH AND THE KICKER IS I OWE $8,000 STILL.

CAR WAS LIKE NEW FOR A FEW MONTHS, DRIVEN TO AND FROM ORLANDO MAYBE 4 TIMES, BUT MOSTLY USE IT FOR WORK TO TAKE MY DAUGHTER TO SCHOOL THEN IT STARTED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BEING ON, THEN SHORTLY, CAR STARTED JERKING WHILE PARKED, OR ON BRAKE, AND THE "CHECK STABILI TRACK CONTROL" LIGHT COMES ON, AND THEN WOULD JUST TURN OFF. I WOULD START SMELLING A VERY STRONG BURNT SMELL BUT NO OIL WAS FALLING TO THE FLOOR, BUT ONCE I STOPPED DRIVING THERE WOULD'VE SMOKE EVERYWHERE. WAS TOLD THERE IS A VACUUM LEAK COMING FROM PCV WHICH IS BUILT IN VALVE COVER...HAVE HAD VALVE COVER CHANGED 3 TIMES IN 3 WEEKS AND EACH TIME, IT LOOKED LIKE SOMEONE DIED UNDER MY HOOD AND BLED OIL! AM TOLD THAT THERE IS TOO MUCH PRESSURE COMING IN AND SO CAUSES OIL TO FIND A WAY OUT AND LEAKS IT SPILLS IT SLASHES, AND IT'S A MYSTERY! ALSO, THERE IS ANOTHER LEAK THAT ALL OF A SUDDEN STRATED FROM THE SIDE OF THE ENGINE! WHEN DOING MY RESEARCH, THERE ARE SOOOOOO MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS! THIS NEEDS TO BE SOME SORT OF RECALL. PLEASE HELP!

I TOOK IT TO FIRESTONE FOR AN INSPECTION BECAUSE I WAS HAVING ISSUES WITH MY CAR AND WAS TOLD THAT I HAD A FAULTY CYLINDER HEAD.

MY PASSENGER SIDE WINDSHIELD WIPER STOPPED WORKING.I WAS TRYING TO MAKE IT A FEW DAYS UNTIL I COULD AFFORD TO FIX MY PASSENGER WIPER AND MY DRIVER SIDE STOPPED WORKING ON MY WAY TO WORK ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE I WAS IN MOTION. WHEN THIS HAPPENED I HAD TO HANG MY HEAD OUT THE WINDOW TO SEE WHERE I WAS DRIVING UNTIL I COULD GET TO A SAFE LOCATION TO PULL OVER.

I JUST WANT TO START OFF BY SAYING WE PURCHASED THIS CAR BRAND NEW FROM KOCOUREK CHEVROLET IN WAUSAU, WI. DEC 2012 OR JAN 2013 BUMPER FELL OFF WITHIN 3 MONTHS OF PURCHASE WHILE DRIVING. YES, FELL OFF. THE DEALERSHIP WHERE WE PURCHASED THE CAR HESITANTLY REPLACED IT AS THE CLIPS WERE BROKE OFF. DEC 2012 TRUNK BUTTON DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY - HAS BEEN REPLACED MULTIPLE TIMES (BY KOCOUREK). AND NOT IT HAS RECENTLY ONCE IT OPENS, IT WILL NOT CLOSE DESPITE BEING SLAMMED SHUT 8 TO 10 TIMES. OCT 2012 HAD AN ANTIFREEZE LEAK FROM DAY ONE - DEALERSHIP TELLS US THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING EVEN WHEN POINTED OUT. I GO THOUGH A GALLON OF DEXOS ANTIFREEZE EVERY 2 WEEKS. BUT AS THE DEALERSHIP SAYS, THAT'S FINE AND NORMAL.... UM... NOT TO ME!!!! JAN 2018 - THE CAR STALLS OUT CONSTANTLY - REDUCED ENGINE POWER, WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, IN THE CITY OR EVEN JUST PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY. I HAVE BEEN VERY NEARLY REAR ENDED MULTIPLE TIMES BECAUSE OF THIS. WE HAVE YET TO FIND THE SOURCE OF THIS. JAN 2018 CODES FOR THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR ISSUES EVEN THOUGH IT HAS BEEN REPLACED MULTIPLE TIMES. STILL CAN'T FIND THE SOURCE OF THIS. DEC 2018 AFTER BEING STARTED, THE CAR WILL SHUT ITSELF OFF OR DIE OFF. STILL CANT FIND THE SOURCE. AUG 2018 RECENTLY, THE CAR HAS DASH WARNINGS THAT STATE "AC OFF DUE TO HIGH ENGINE TEMP" EVEN WHEN IT IS 30 DEGREES OUT. THE TEMP GAUGE WILL ALSO DROP TO COLD. WE HAVE ALSO CHANGED THE THERMOSTAT MULTIPLE TIMES AS WELL. THIS CAR IS BEYOND A LEMON. WE HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THIS C

CATALAYIC CONVERTER PLUGGED AT 82000 MILES WHICH CAUSED ENGINE KNOCK NOISE

I BOUGHT MY CAR IN 2015, IT IS A 2012 CHEVY CRUZE ECO. I'VE HAD TO REPLACE THE CAMSHAFT COVER(PCV) 2 TIMES IN A YEAR DUE TO THE GASKET BEING CRAP AND CAUSING HORRIBLE OIL LEAKS! HERE I AM AGAIN, CHANGED IT AND IT IS AGAIN FAULTY AND LEAKING OIL. THIS NEEDS TO BE WARRANTY AND COVERED BY GM. I'VE ALREADY HAD TO DO THE WATER PUMP MYSELF BECAUSE THEY WOULDN'T FIX THE WATER PUMP AT ANY DEALER. THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THE OIL LEAK, AND NEEDS TO HAVE A RECALL TOO FIX ANYTHING, CAUSING THIS PROBLEM.

WHILE IN MOTION DRIVING DOWN A MAJOR CITY STREET... WITHOUT ANY DASH LIGHTS/WARNING LIGHTS THE VEHICLE WOULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE AND STOPPED MOVING. THE VEHICLE WAS DEAD WITHOUT PRIER WARNING. I DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD CREATING A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR ME. AFTER GETTING THE VEHICLE TOWED, I WAS TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAD FAILED.

WHEN THE TEMPERATURE DROPS BELOW 20 DEGREES F MY ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS COME ON CONSTANTLY AND IT SAYS SERVICE ABS SYSTEM AND SERVICE STABILITRAK SYSTEM. WHENEVER THIS OCCURS MY LEFT REAR E-BRAKE LOCKS UP AS THOUGH IT IS FROZEN. THIS HAS CAUSED ME TO SLIDE OFF THE ROAD MULTIPLE TIMES.

I HAVE HAD MY CAR SINCE 2012 AND HAVE NOT HAD ANY ISSUES, UNTIL NOW. MY CAR WAS RUNNING FINE WHEN OUT OF THE BLUE, WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON A CITY STREET, MY CAR WOULD NOT GO OVER 30 MPH. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME AND WHEN I WENT TO TAKE IT TO A DEALER TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT, I COULD NOT BACK THE CAR OUT THE GARAGE. THE CAR WOULD GO FORWARD, BUT NOT BACK. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE HE WAS ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE CAR WITH A BROKEN SHIFTER PLATE THAT DAMAGED OTHER PARTS OF THE TRANSMISSION. I REGULARLY MAINTENANCE MY CAR AND ONLY HAVE 60,409 MILES ON IT (MOSTLY HIGHWAY MILES). A CAR THIS YOUNG AND WITH THAT FEW MILES SHOULD NOT HAVE TRANSMISSION ISSUES. I LOOKED UP THE ISSUE AND IT SEEMS TO BE COMMON WITH THIS CAR (SEE THE BELOW LINKS). SINCE THIS IS NOT A NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR ISSUE, IT SEEMS TO BE A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM, I AM REQUESTING THAT A SERVICE BULLETIN OR RECALL BE ISSUED SO NO OTHER PERSON DEALS WITH THIS ISSUE. I ALSO ASK THAT YOU REVIEW THE ATTACHED REPAIR DOCUMENTS SO THAT I MAY GET SOME SORT OF COMPENSATION FOR THE REPAIRS. I TAKE CARE OF MY CAR AND SHOULD NOT HAVE HAD TO SPEND ALMOST $4,000 FOR REPAIRS THAT WERE NOT DUE TO NEGLECT.

TRUNK RELEASE DOES NOT WORK. THE TRUNK OPENS ONLY AFTER ACTUATING THE BUTTON ON THE FOB

AFTER SEVERAL TRIPS TO DEALER FOR COOLANT ISSUES, CAR WAS FINE FOR AWHILE. NOTICED LOW COOLANT YET AGAIN, FILLED IT AND 2 WEEKS LATER DURING OIL CHANGE WAS INFORMED THAT I HAD NO COOLANT. 3 DAYS LATER TRANSMISSION FAILED WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, I WAS ABLE FORTUNATELY, TO PULL IT OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND HAD IT TOWED. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION! 120.000 MILES AND NO PRIOR INDICATION OF ANY ISSUES. JUST CONTACTED CHEVROLET TO SEE IF ANY ASSISTANCE IS AVAILABLE. THIS CAR HAS BEEN GREAT EXCEPT FOR THE COOLANT ISSUES....UNTIL THIS! THE CAR IS NO LONGER DRIVEABLE!

2012 CHEVROLET CRUZE LS WITH 51,000 MILES. EVENT OCCURRED NOV. 25, 2018. WITHOUT PRIOR SYMPTOMS, THE CAR BEGAN TO JERK WHILE DRIVING FORWARD AT CITY SPEEDS. MADE IT TO DESTINATION A SHORT DISTANCE AWAY. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. ATTEMPTED TO MOVE CAR, AND THE REVERSE GEAR WOULD NOT ENGAGE. DROVE (LIMPED) THE CAR IN D TO A LOCAL AUTOZONE TO HAVE THE TROUBLE CODE READ. P0700 TCM ISSUE. STILL NO REVERSE. UPON LEAVING, NOSED OUT ON BUSY 5 LANE THOROUGHFARE AND THE CAR NO LONGER WOULD GO FORWARD AS THE TRANSMISSION HAD DISENGAGED. COULD HAVE BEEN DISASTROUS IF THIS OCCURRED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BUSY ROAD. PUSHED THE CAR BACK TO THE AUTOZONE LOT. NOV 26, 2018 CALLED GM AND OPENED A CASE BUT WAS TOLD THERE ARE NO RECALLS AND WE ARE OUT OF WARRANTY, MUST HAVE A CERTIFIED GM SHOP ASSESS THE ISSUE AT OUR COST. NOV 27, 2018 TOWED TO LOCAL GM DEALER WHERE CAR WAS PURCHASED FOR EVALUATION. COMPLAINT:THIS CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY ON TIME ONLY. IT HAS A SEALED TRANNY AND THE FIRST RECOMMENDED FLUID CHANGE IS 97,500 MILES. OBVIOUSLY DRIVEN CAREFULLY AND DAILY WITHOUT NEGLECT FOR ONLY 51,000 MILES. SHOULD NOT HAVE MAJOR UN-WARRANTIED TRANSMISSION ISSUES. RESEARCHED THIS CONDITION ON FORUMS ETC. THERE ARE ENOUGH INSTANCES WITH VERY SIMILAR OR SAME SYMPTOMS THAT GM KNOWS OF THIS AND SHOULD MAKE IT GOOD.

AC AUTO SHUTOFF TEMP TO HIGH MESSAGE COMES ON L. I HAVE REPLACED THE THERMOSTAT ALREADY THREE TIMES. THEN THE CAR WON'T START. DISCONNECT THE GROUND AND PUT IT BACK ON AND IT STARTS JUST FINE. YOU CAN DRIVE IT FOR A WHILE THEN AC OFF COMES BACK IN AND START THE PROCESS AGAIN.

LET ME START BY SAYING THIS ISSUE WAS THE NOT THE FIRST ISSUE THAT'S CAUSE ME TO TOW MY CAR FIRST WAS MY ENGINE FAILURE DUE TO COOLANT LINES RIPPING WHILE DRIVING. AND THIS ISSUES IS ABOUT DEFROST AND HEATING IN THE GENERAL I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH ME HEAT ON THE WINDSHIELD BUT IT DIDN'T HEAT THE FRONT WINDSHIELD INSTEAD IS WAS HEATING MY FACE THE WINDOWS WERE ALREADY A LITTLE FOGGY BUT I EXPECTED IT TO BE CLEAR WHILE DRIVING BUT INSTEAD WHILE GOING 65MPH ON THE HIGHWAY MY WINDOWS COMPLETELY BECOME FOGGED COMPLETELY WHITE I COULDN'T SEE ANYTHING LUCKY FOR ME I WAS ON THE RIGHT LANE SO I PULLED OVER AND WAS SAFE HOWEVER IF IT HAPPENED EVEN 5 SECONDS LATER I WOULD OF MOST LIKELY HIT OR BEEN HIT AS THE HIGHS HAD SOME RENAVATIONS AND THE NEW TURN HAD NO PULL OVER AND HAD A LONG AND TIGHT TURN. ANYWAYS IF YOUR ALSO HAVING THIS ISSUES AND KNOW A FIX PLEASE INFORM ME.

I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR OVER TWO YEARS NOW AND ITS UNABLE TO BE DIAGNOSED. STILL OCCURS WITH A NEW BATTERY AND TERMINALS. ITS UNDER NO RECALLS OR FIXES. IT GENERATES ZERO CODES. 2012 CHEVY CRUZE TWO CHEVY CERTIFIED DEALERS LOOKED AT IT AND WERE LIKE, WE'LL HAVE TO REPLACE THE AIRBAG AND THAT MIGHT FIX THE PROBLEM. IT'LL COST ABOUT $900 AND THE MECHANICS CAN NOT PROMISE IT WILL FIX THE PROBLEM OR IF THE AIRBAG IS SAFE.

MY VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND NO RUNNING. I ENTERED THE VEHICLE AND STARTED IT. THE SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT FLASHED THEN THE SERVICE STABILITRAK LIGHT FLASHED THE LIGHTS WENT AWAY AND THE VEHICLE DROVE FINE. SEVERAL DAYS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED UPON ENTERING MY DRIVEWAY IT STARTED TO SPUTTER. FOUR DAYS AFTER THAT UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE THE SAME LIGHTS CAME ON IN ADDITION TO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. NOW WHEN I START MY VEHICLE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON AND AFTER THE VEHICLE IS WARMED UP THE OTHER TWO LIGHTS COME ON AND THEN GO OFF. MY LATEST ONSTAR DIAGNOSTIC REPORTS A PROBLEM WITH THE ECM. I HAS BEEN ALMOST EXACTLY THREE YEARS TO THE DATE THAT THESE SAME THINGS HAPPENED AND WERE SUPPOSEDLY REPAIRED UNDER RECALL # 14801 AND SPECIAL COVERAGE # 14311B. PLEASE ADVISE.

THIS VEHICLE (CHEVY CRUZE 2012) IS THE WORST VEHICLE MADE POSSIBLE. THERE IS OIL LEAKS THAT HAVE BEEN FIXED THAT OCCUR AGAIN . THERE IS A COOLANT LEAK THAT WAS FIXED BY THE RADIATOR CONNECTOR. 15 MINUTES LATER OF DRIVING THE VEHICLE 2 MORE HOSES POPPED AND CAUSED THE COOLANT TO LEAK AGAIN. THE RADIATOR WENT BAD AND WAS CHANGED THE VEHICLE STILL OVER HEATED . THE THERMOSTAT WAS CHANGED AND THE VEHICLE WAS FINE FOR 2 DAYS. I GO TO START THE VEHICLE AND IT DOESN'T WANT TO TURN OVER . COME TO FIND OUT AT THE SAME MECHANIC THAT I HAD THE THERMOSTAT CHANGED APPARENTLY SAID THE HEAD GASKET WAS BLOWN . THEN SAYS THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE CYLINDER HEADS . SO ALL IN ALL . THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD OIL LEAKS , COOLANT LEAKS , ENGINE LIGHTS , RADIATOR ISSUES , CYLINDERR HEAD PROBLEMS , MISFIRING AND NOW A HEAD GASKET PROBLEM . THIS BRINGS A SAFETY ISSUE TO ME THAT WHILE I AM DRIVING MY CAR IS MISFIRING ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WHILE THERE IS TRAFFIC GOING ON AND TONS OF PEOPLE ON THE ROAD . I COULD POTENTIALLY BE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AND BECAUSE OF ALL OF THIS ELECTRICAL ISSUES THAT GM IS NOT CAPABLE OF MANUFACTURING CORRECTLY ON THESE VEHICLES (CHEVY CRUZE) MY CAR COULD OF BLEW UP WHILE DRIVING IT. I HAVE MY NIECES AND NEPHEWS IN THE CAR WHILE THE CAR SHAKES OUT OF NOWHERE WHICH COULD OF PUT THERE LIFE IN DANGER . CHEVY IS NO HELP WHAT SO EVER THEY ONLY WANT TO CHARGE TO EVEN LOOK AT A CAR THEY MANUFACTURED!!!! I ASK FOR HELP FROM THEM AND THEY SEEM SO CAREFREE . MY LIFE IS IN

AS I'M DRIVING IN THE CITY OF ATLANTA GEORGIA MY CAR CHEVY CRUZE 2012 HAS MANY ISSUES AS THE CAR BEING IN MOTION AS I PRESS THE BRAKES TO COME TO A STOP THE BRAKES PRESSURE GETS AND DO NOT STOP I FOUND OUT DID I HAVE TO TAP ON THE GAS AGAIN AND THEN PRESS THE BRAKE TO GET IT TO COMPLY SORT OF SCARY ALMOST CAUSING A WRECK EVERY TIME

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD STILL WITHIN CITY LIST, THE CAR BEGAN MAKING A KNOCKING NOISE, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND A LOW OIL PRESSURE WARNING FLASHED. AFTER TAKING IT TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WE WERE TOLD THAT THE ENGINE IS BLOWN WITH 122K MILES ON IT.

EVERY TIME I TAKE A LONG TRIP ON THE HIGH WAY I GET A TRANSMISSION HOT IDLE ENGINE MESSAGE. I IDLE FOR ABOUT 3 MINS AND I GO OFF I SEE A LOT OF CARS HAVE A SIMILAR PROBLEM IT MUST BE A RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION. ALSO LOOKING UNDER THE HOOD IT'S TRANSMISSION FLUID ALL ON THE TOP

VEHICLE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. VEHICLE IS SPILLING OIL CAUSING SMOKE TO BE EXHAUSTED OUT OF ENGINE WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE. ENGINE HAS HAD COOLANT LEAKS AND ENGINE HEAD GASKET IS BLOWN

2012 CHEVROLET CRUZE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE *AS THE CONSUMER STATED THE BRAKE SYSTEM CONTINUED TO FAIL WHEN DRIVING IN REVERSE.*JS

TAKATA RECALL ON OR ABOUT JULY 2016 I NOTICED WHEN I PUT MY CAR IN REVERSE I TRIED TO BRAKE AND MY CAR WOULD STAY IN MOVEMENT AND REQUIRE ME TO SLAM DOWN ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. EVER SINCE THE FIRST TIME I NOTICED IT, IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE. THE BRAKE PEDAL GETS HARD AND MY CAR KEEPS ROLLING WHEN I'M IN REVERSE AND DRIVING FORWARD. IT HAPPENS FREQUENTLY BUT SOMETIMES WILL GO AWAY. I THOUGHT IT COULD BE A RESULT OF MY ENGINE NOT REACHING THE RIGHT TEMPERATURE BUT IT HAS HAPPENED MIDWAY THROUGH MY COMMUTES. I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR MY CAR BUT I FEEL THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY PROBLEM, I TRIED TO PARALLEL PARK THE OTHER DAY AND COULDN'T DO IT BECAUSE MY CAR KEPT ROLLING AROUND. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON CITY STREETS, I HAVE NOT NOTICED IT WHEN IM ON THE HIGHWAY.

TRANSMISSION FAILED AFTER PARKING. HAD 80K MILES

WHILE DRIVING IN THE CITY AT NIGHT, THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF, INCLUDING THE ENGINE AND ALL ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS WITHOUT ANY WARNINGS. THIS CAUSED ALL LIGHTS TO TURN OFF, LOSS OF POWER STEERING, POWER TO BRAKES, AND LITTLE TO CONTROL TO THE VEHICLE. LUCKILY, THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME NOTICED AND TAILED ME TO A STOP WITH THEIR WARNING LIGHTS. I THEN PROCEEDED TO OPEN THE ENGINE WITH A FLASHLIGHT TO DISCOVER THAT THE BATTERY WAS STILL PROPERLY CONNECTED (6 MONTHS OLD) WITH NO FRAYS OR CORROSION TO THE CONNECTORS OR WIRING. AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES ATTEMPTING TO FIND A TOW TRUCK COMPANY THE VEHICLE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM CAME BACK ON WITH NO INTERVENTION. I TURNED THE IGNITION SWITCH AND THE VEHICLE STARTED WITH NO ISSUES AND NO ENGINE LIGHTS ON. I DROVE IT THE REST OF THE WAY HOME WITH NO ISSUES. WHEN I GOT HOME I CHECKED ALL THE FUSES AND ALL WERE OPERABLE. THE OBD SCANNER FOUND NO CODES. I AM MID 30S 190IBS AND FAIRLY STRONG, I COULD ONLY IMAGINE IF THIS HAPPENED IN AN INTERSECTION OR DURING BUSY HOURS ON THE HIGHWAY, I WOULDN'T BE SITTING HERE REPORTING THIS ISSUE. I FOUND NUMEROUS SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON BLOGS CONCERNING THIS MODEL. I ASSUME NOT MANY HAVE REPORTED PROPERLY SINCE THERE IS NO RECALL ISSUED FOR THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.

ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM EXPLODED WHILE CAR IN MOTION COOLANT WAS EVERYWHERE UNDERNEATH THE HOOD. BELT BROKEN.AND HAS OIL LEAKING.WITH AN 800 HUNDRED DOLLARS BILL WHILE ON VACATION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET CRUZE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TEMPERATURE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT ALSO NOTICED AN ABNORMAL ODOR COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. UPON INSPECTION, THE CONTACT FOUND AN ANTIFREEZE LEAK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CAMPBELL CHEVROLET (2151 SCOTTSVILLE RD, BOWLING GREEN, KY) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE WATER PUMP FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED A YEAR LATER. THE SAME DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS A CRACK IN THE COOLANT OUTLET FLANGE AND RECOMMENDED IT BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 64,000.

THE VALVE COVER AND PCV VALVE LEAKS AIR BAD AND IS DEFECTIVE. IT CONSTANTLY CAUSES SURGING AND MULTIPLE OBD CODES AND THE STABILI/TRAC TO FLASH AND THE RADIO TO FLASH OFF AND ON. IT IDLES ROUGH AND SHUTS OFF ROUGH TOO. THE GAS MILEAGE ISN'T AS GOOD AS IT SHOULD AND THE POWER ISN'T AS GOOD AS IT SHOULD. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS KNOWN DEFECTIVE PCV VALVE COVER TO BE FIXED

MY SON WAS DRIVING BY HIMSELF WHEN HE HIT A POLE. AFTER THE ACCIDENT HE SAID HE COULD NOT MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL TO AVOID THE POLE. HE SAID IT STUCK.

MY TRANSMISSION WAS SHIFTING HARD THEN I PARKED IT GOT BACK IN PUT IN REVERSE AND IT WON'T MOVE,IT MOVED IN DRIVE SO MANY FEET MAKING HORRIBLE NOISE AND THEN WENT OUT OF GEAR...NOW WON'T MOVE AT ALL
