2013 Chevrolet Cruze complaints

BRAKE PROBLEM CAN ALWAYS STOP THE CAR MAY REQUIRE INCREASED PEDAL EFFORT. THE PROBLEM COME ON GO. IF I HAVE AN EMERGENCY IT WILL NOT STOP. THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS. *TR

I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT ISSUES WITH THE CAR SINCE I'VE HAD IT AND FIXED EVERYTHING THAT WAS WRONG WITH IT THE PALM CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP THAT SAID WAS WRONG WITH IT AND YET NOTHING HAS BEEN RESOLVED MY STABILITRAK CONTROL SERVICE SYSTEM LIGHT CAME ON ALONG WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AS THEY ARE FLASHING. I'M HAVING A VERY HARD TIME GETTING TRACTION I HAVE A 1 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AND I DON'T FEEL THAT THIS CAR IS SAFE FOR HER. I WANT THIS ISSUE LOOKED INTO I HAVE SPENT MONEY THAT I DON'T HAVE TO JUST TRY TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM AND YET IT'S NOT FIXED. *TR

I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR MULTIPLE TIMES TO GET IT FIXED. AS I AM DRIVING THE CAR THE RADIO TURNS OFF. THEN THE ENGINE ITSELF TURNS OFF. NOT ONLY THAT, AS I AM DRIVING IT THE STEERING WHEEL STOPS WORKING AND THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF. I HAVE SPENT OVER 7,000 DOLLARS IN REPAIRS AND I CAN NO LONGER AFFORD FOR REPAIRS. NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO OPEN AN INVESTIGATION ON THIS CAR AS MY LIFE SEEMS TO BE THREATENED AND NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHY THE CAR GOES ON AND OFF WHILE IN DRIVE. I ALMOST GOT IN A MAJOR HIGHWAY ACCIDENT BECAUSE IT TURNED OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING 60 MILES PER HOUR ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM AND HELP ME GET BACK TO A NORMAL CAR. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR ALMOST A 2 YEARS NOW. *TR

SERVICE STABLI TRAC AND SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL COME ON. CAR IS 'CHUGGING' WHEN IN MOTION AND THEN DIES. IGNITION COIL GET BURNT OUT. THIS IS NOW THE 3RD TIME IN A MONTH.

MY DRIVERS SIDE SEAT BELT LIGHT WOULD BLINK OCCASIONALLY AS I WAS DRIVING THINKING MY SEAT BELT WAS NOT LATCHING HOWEVER, IT WAS AND I CLEANED IT AS BEST AS I COULD. STILL WOULD COME ON, BLINKS, TURNS OFF, COMES ON AND THE SOUND WILL EVEN SOUND TO PUT MY SEAT BELT ON. ALL THIS WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION, WHETHER I'M DRIVING SLOWLY OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY OR DOWN THE INTERSTATE. *TR

I LEFT MY KEYS IN THE IGNITION ONE NIGHT, WENT TO BED, AND WOKE UP TO MY HEADLIGHTS TURNING ON AND OFF. I THOUGHT SOMEONE WAS TRYING TO STEAL MY CAR, BUT WHEN I RAN OUTSIDE, THE CAR WAS LITERALLY STARTING ITSELF, TURNING ITSELF OFF, TURNING BACK ON, AND BACK OFF. I'M NOT SURE HOW LONG IT HAD BEEN DOING THAT, BUT THEN I STARTED IT UP MYSELF, AND TURNED IT OFF, THEN REMOVED THE KEYS FROM THE IGNITION. IT WAS IN THE PARK POSITION.

FIRST THE WATER PUMP HAD TO BE REPLACED, THEN THE TURBO COILS HAD TO BE REPLACED $740, THEN THE SURGE TANK AND NOW THEY ARE SAYING MORE LEAKS AND WANTED TO DO SOME TEST THAT COST $65. SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT, AM I THE ONLY ONE THIS IS HAPPENING TO?

THE STABLIC TRACT, THE ENGINE, THE ENGINE SLOWS DOWN, THE POWER STEERING, THE ENGINE MODULE HAS BLOWED I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR DAY 1, I BOUGHT FROM JDA AUTOMOTIVE ON GARNERS FERRY ROAD. I HAVE BEEN TAKING CAR TO CHEVROLET IN COLUMBIA,SC HARBISON . THEY REPAIRED RECALLS BUT SOON AS REPAIR THEY SEND A SIGNAL TO CAR TO TEAR UP .THE CAR COME TO COMPLETE STOP CAUSING ME TO NEED NECK BRACE IT ALSO IS TEARING UP THE THREAD ON TIRES. AND PEOPLE ARE BLOWING HORN AND ALSO HITTING ME IN BACK EVERYWHERE I GO I HAVE TO USE EMERGENCY BLINKING LIGHTS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET CRUZE. THE CONTACT STATED AFTER SHIFTING TO PARK AND EXITED THE VEHICLE, IT BEGAN TO ROLL AWAY WHILE THE KEY WAS REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT HAD TO QUICKLY RE-ENTER THE VEHICLE AND DEPRESS THE EMERGENCY BRAKE IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE FROM ROLLING AWAY. SHORTLY AFTER THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND THE FAILURE REOCCURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 34,000. THE CONTACT REFERENCED THE FAILURE TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V502000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN).

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET CRUZE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 40-45 MPH, SHE HIT A DEER AND THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THIS FAILURE OCCURRED IN 2018 HOWEVER RECENTLY HER HUSBAND WAS DRIVING AT 70 MPH, HIT A DEER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HOOD WHICH THEN ROLLED OVER ONTO THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAGS ALSO FAILED TO DEPLOY IN THIS INCIDENT AS THE DAMAGE WAS A HUGE DENT IN THE HOOD AND FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED AND CONTACT WAS NOT INJURED. THE INSURANCE COMPANY WAS CONTACTED AS THE VEHICLE WAS AWAITING INSPECTION. THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN CONTACTED YET. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 165,000.

THE INTAKE MANIFOLD BECAME CRACKED AND I HAVE RESEARCHED IT HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR MANY CHEVY CRUZE BETTWEEN THE YEARS OF 2011-2014. THE VEHICLE HAS A INCREASED AIR FLOW THE RESULTS IN A POOR AIR TO FUEL MIXTUE INSIDE THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER, ALSO ALLOWS OIL TO BLOWBY. THE ISSUE WITH THE INTAKE HAS CAUSED INCREASED OIL CONSUMPTION/ BURNING, RESULTED IN A LOSS OF POWER UPON FIRST TAKE OFF FROM STOP LIGHT. THIS ISSUE HAS CAUSED THE COMPUTER TO ADJUST THE TIMING MORE THAN THE MANUFACTURER ALLOWED LIMIT WHICH HAS RESULTED IN A BENT VALVE AND BAD TIMING

MY SCREEN FOR THE RADIO STARTS TO FLICKER, AND THE ENTIRE CAR SHUTS DOWN. AFTER WAITING FOR 5 OR 10 MINUTES THE CAR POWERS BACK UP AND STARTS. ANOTHER TIME, WHILE I WAS STILL PARKED THE RADIO STARTS TO FLICKER AGAIN. SO I TURN OFF THE CAR, BUT THE KEY IS STUCK IN THE IGNITION AND WHEN YOU TURN THE KEY YOU GET NOTHING. IT DOESN'T START AND YOU GET NO POWER. AFTER WAITING A FEW MINUTES AGAIN THE CAR POWERS UP ON ITS OWN WHILE KEY IS STILL IN THE IGNITION. THIS ALSO HAPPENED ONCE WHILE I WAS DRIVING. LUCKILY I WAS JUST TAKING OFF, SO I WASN'T GOING VERY FAST.

A/C OFF DUE TO HIGH ENGINE TEMP WARNING ON THE DASH. TRIED RESETTING ECU, DIDN'T WORK. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. CHANGED BOTH COOLANT SENSORS AND STILL BROKEN. REPLACED OLD BROKEN THERMOSTAT WITH A NEW FACTORY SENSOR, AND 4 MONTHS LATER IT'S ALREADY BROKEN.

THE PLASTIC GEAR THAT RUNS THE DEFROSTER BROKE AND WE CAN'T SEE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE

IN 2018 CODE P2099 WAS FIXED ON MY 2013 CHEVY CRUZE AND NOW THE CODE IS POPPING UP AGAIN IT'S ONLY BEEN A YEAR AND A HALF AND THE PART WAS FIXED BY THE CHEVY DEALER SHIP IT'S WAS BRAND NEW, SO WHY DO I NEED ANOTHER PLEASE CONTACT ME CONCERNING THIS MATTER THANKS @ [XXX] OR [XXX]. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

CAR LOSES ELECTRICAL . RADIO DISPLAY GOES BLANK. SIGNAL LIGHT USE BECOMES VERY QUIET. KEY BECOMES STUCK IN IGNITION CANNOT BE REMOVED. WITH KEY ON MODE HEAR CLICKING SOUND. NO ELECTRICAL ACTIVITY JUST SOUND. AFTER ABOUT 10 MINUTES CAR COMES BACK TO LIFE. ON OCCASION I GET DISPLAYS ON DASH TELLING ME TO OPEN AND CLOSE DRIVER WINDOW. CAR CAN DIE ANYWHERE. PULLED INTO GAS PUMPS SHUTOFF PULLED OUT KEY. AFTER GETTING GAS PUT KEY INTO IGNITION WENT TO TURN ON KEY BECAME STUCK AND THEIR WAS NO ELECTRICAL ACTIVITY. PUTTING KEY IN ON MODE I HEARD FAST CLICKING BUT NOTHING ELSE. AFTER TEN MINUTES IT'S LIKE THE CAR TURNED ON. I HAD TO TURN THE KEY A COUPLE TIMES BEFORE THE ENGINE CAME ON. I GET VARIOUS DISPLAY NOTICES LIKE THE ONE I ATTACHED. OR I GET STABIL TRAK DISPLAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. IT TAKES POWER STEERING AND I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE.

TOOK CAR IN FOR OVERHEATING AFTER HAVING HI TEMP WORNING COME ON. CHECKED COOLANT LEVELS IT WAS LOW. DEAL REPARED CAR PER RECALL. UNFORTUNITLY MOTOR WAS DAMAGED DO TO OVER HEATING. DEALER RETURNED CAR WITH BAD MOTOR AFTER TESTING FOR HIDROCARBONS. CHARGED ME $800 EVEN WITH RECALL PARTS PROVIDED. CAR IS STILL UNDRIVABLE DO TO WATERPUMP LEAK. WHERE DO I GO FROM HERE? LEMON LAW? DEALER WORK NOT PREFORMED? PLEASE ADVISE.

CHEVY CRUZE 2013 LTZ TURBO, I HAVE THE PAPERWORK STATING IT IS TURBO. I TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIPS BECAUSE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS TOLD IT WAS FINE. THEY CLEARED EVERYTHING. I HAVE BEEN TOLD DIFFERENT THINGS WHETHER IT HAS TURBO OR NOT. THE TURBO WAS SUPPOSEDLY CHECKED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE I BOUGHT IT. THE MECHANIC AT DEALERSHIP SAID IT DID NOT HAVE TURBO. I ASKED THE HEAD MECHANIC TO DRIVE THE CAR WITH ME IN IT. HE DID, THE HEAD MECHANIC CONVINCED ME IT HAD TURBO AND IT WAS WORKING FINE, I SAID IT DOESN'T ACT LIKE IT TO ME, HE SAID THIS IS ALL ITS GOT AND THAT'S IT, THE CAR IS FINE. THE HEAD MECHANIC SAID IT WAS FINE, I SAID SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT, HE CONVINCED EVERYTHING WAS AND TO PUSH THE CLEAR BUTTON WHEN IT WOULD BE AND IT WOULD BE FINE. THIS HAPPENED BETWEEN 2014 AND 2018 THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER THE YEARS. I WAS TOLD TO BASICALLY TOUCH THE CLEAR BUTTON. CODES STARTED TO POP UP; IT STARTED WITH THE WINDOW. I WAS TOLD TO HIT CLEAR BUTTON WHEN THIS HAPPENS, SO I DID. THEN CHECK ENGINE CODES POP UP ON DASH SAYING: ROLE WINDOW DOWN AND BACK UP, CHECK TRANSMISSION, KEY REMOTE NOT DETECTED, START WITH REMOTE START, CHECK AIR BAGS, IT HAS DONE THIS OFF AND ON FOR A SEVERAL YEARS, OFF AND ON . NOW THIS WEEK IT GOT REALLY BAD TO THE POINT THE CAR JUST SHUTS OFF, THEN IT WILL NOT START, UNTIL I TOUCH THE CLEAR BUTTON OR I HAVE TO UNHOOK THE BATTERY OTHERWISE THE DASH WILL NOT TURN OFF AND I CAN'T START IT. I TOOK IT TO HAVE CODES CHECKED AND MASS FLOW SENSOR , THEN IT SAID

I BOUGHT MY CAR FROM A USED CAR LOT IN MARCH. AFTER ABOUT 2 WEEKS, I STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL, AFTER A FEW MONTHS, THE CRUISE SWITCH HAD TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE IT STOPPED WORKING ALL TOGETHER. DURING THE TIME I'VE HAD THE VEHICLE, I'VE HAD TO REPLACE THE THERMOSTAT CONTROL, AS WELL AS A COIL IN THE ENGINE. FOR THE PAST 2-3 MONTHS OR SO, I'LL BE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND THE SERVICE STABILITY TRACK WILL SHOW UP, WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BLINKING. MY CAR WONT LET ME SPEED UP, AND IT WILL SLOWLY SLOW DOWN. IF I HAVE MY CRUISE ON WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE CAR'S RPM WILL SHOOT UP IN AN ATTEMPT TO GET BACK TO THE SPEED I HAD IT SET AT. AFTER ABOUT A MINUTE WITH THE LIGHTS ON, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL STOP BLINKING AND THE CAR WILL GO BACK TO NORMAL (THE TRACTION LIGHT WONT TURN OFF UNTIL I TURN OFF THE CAR). I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO MY MECHANIC, AND HIS COMPUTER SHOWS CODE UO100, WHICH IS "LOST COMMUNICATION WITH ENGINE CONTROL MODULE", WHICH IS A VERY GENERAL CODE AND COULD COME FROM ANYWHERE. HE CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. THE WIRES SEEM CONNECTED PROPERLY, AND EVERYTHING SEEMS FINE, OTHER THAN THE LIGHT ISSUE. IT HAPPENS WHILE I'M DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, AT ANY RANDOM MOMENT. IT OCCURS AT LEAST EVERY 3 DAYS, IF NOT EVERYDAY.

WHILE DRIVING AND IN MOTION THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF. AFTER SHUTTING OFF THE ABS MALFUNCTIONS AND THE STEERING MALFUNCTIONS. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE NOW, BOTH ON CITY STREETS. ONCE DISABLED THE VEHICLE WILL NOT RESTART ON IT'S OWN; IT DOESN'T EVEN TURN OVER. THE VEHICLE WILL, HOWEVER, RESTART IF JUMP STARTED. THE FIRST OCCURRENCE PRESENTED WITH A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THAT CODED AS A FAULTY CAM SHAFT SENSOR. THIS WAS REPLACED AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT AWAY. THE SECOND OCCURRENCE PRESENTED WITH NO LIGHTS OR WARNINGS. BOTH THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR WERE TESTED AND ARE FUNCTIONING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET CRUZE. WHEN THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE, HE HEARD A CLICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE VEHICLE AND IT FAILED TO START WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT HAD TO JUMPSTART THE BATTERY IN ORDER FOR THE VEHICLE TO START AND RESUME NORMAL OPERATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO KLEIN AUTO (111 W MADISON ST, CLINTONVILLE, WI 54929, (715) 823-2135), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT AN ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILURE OCCURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 120,000.

THE WINDSHIELD DEFROST DOES NOT WORK LIKE IT IS SUPPOSED TOO. WHEN I PUT IT ON DEFROST AND THE HEAT ON FULL BLAST, IT WILL ONLY HEAT THE PASSENGERS SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND NOT THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE VEHICLE WHICH IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE THERE IS COLD AIR COMING OUT OF THE VENTS WHICH PREVENTS THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD TO NOT DEFROST. WHEN I DRIVE, IT ONLY SEEMS TO GET WORST SO I PULL OVER AND TRY TO SCRAPE THE ICE OFF AS BEST AS I CAN SO I CAN PROPERLY SEE. THIS IS A HUGE CONCERN WHEN IT COMES TO UPSTATE NEW YORK WINTERS, ESPECIALLY WHEN WE HAVE ICE STORMS WHICH IS WHEN I FIRST ENCOUNTERED THE ISSUE. IT FAILS TO DEFROST THE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AS IT IMPAIRS VISIBILITY.

THE OILS IS LEAKING IS THIS VEHICLE .. AND HOW IT WAS EXPLAINED IS THAT THE OIL IS ALSO LEAKING INTO THE TURBO .. WHICH IS CAUSING OIL TO BASICALLY BE PUSHED OUT INSTEAD OF AIR BEING BROUGHT IN FOR THE CAR TO GO THE CORRECT SPEED AND THE CAR IS UNDRIVEABLE

THE CAR SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN AFFECTED OF ONE SEVERAL ISSUES THAT HAPPENED EARLY ON IN THE PRODUCTION WITH A COOLANT LEAK SMELL PROBLEM IN THE CABIN, PARTICULARLY EVIDENT WHILE BRAKING TO A STOP. THE SMELL SEEMS TO BE LINKED TO A COOLANT LEAK IN THE HEATER CORE OR IN THE CONNECTIONS OF THE PIPES WITH THE EXCHANGER ITSELF. THIS IS DANGEROUS AS THE FUMES ARE POSSIBLY SLIGHTLY TOXIC AND, MOREOVER, IT INDICATES A LEAKAGE IN AN AREA AFTER THE FIREWALL THAT CAN LEAD TO SCALDING IF IT GETS IN CONTACT WITH A PERSON. EARLIER EVENTS ON THE CAR HAPPENED IN THE INITIAL PRODUCTION OF THE CRUZE AND TYPICALLY QUITE EARLY IN THE MILEAGE, BUT MY CAR SHOWED IT NOW AT 105000 MILES. AN IMPROVEMENT, BUT EVIDENTLY NOT A FULL FIX.

MY SERVICE AIR BAGS SENSOR IS ON AND THE AIRBAGS HAVE TURNED OFF FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR.

THE SENSOR STATED TURN OFF THE AC DUE THE ENGINE TEMPERATURE , THE MOTOR FAN RUNS AS IF THE CAR IS RUNNING HOT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET CRUZE. WHILE THE CONTACT'S WIFE WAS DRIVING 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE HESITATED, JERKED, AND FAILED TO MOVE BEFORE SPONTANEOUSLY ACCELERATING. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BOB BELL NISSAN (7900 EASTERN AVE, BALTIMORE, MD 21224, (410) 288-2500) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 18,000.

AIRBAG LIGHTS CAME ON, AIRBAG SENSOR HAS TO BE REPLACED. I PAID OVER $800 AND THE PART HAS BEEN ON ORDER FOR A MONTH!

TRANSMISSION FAILURE AT 70,000 MILES.

DROVE TO WORK IN THE MORNING AS USUAL WITH NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS, CAR SAT IN THE PARKING DURING THE DAY WENT OUT TO DRIVE HOME AT THE END OF THE DAY AND THE AIR BAG TROUBLE LIGHT IN ON. TOOK CAR THE GM DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE CODE DIAGNOSED AND DEALERSHIP INFORMS ME THAT THE AIRBAG AND CONNECTING AIRBAG HARNESS WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO THE FACT THE AIRBAG WILL NOT RECALIBRATE AND IS NOT COMMUNICATING WITH THE COMPUTER.

WHEN THE CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM IS PLACED IN DEFROST MODE THE AIR DOES NOT BLOW OUT THE DEFROSTER VENTS AND THE WINDSHIELD DOES NOT CLEAR. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD ESPECIALLY IN MICHIGAN WITH ALL THE WEATHER CHANGES. THERE ARE MANY REPORTS ON LINE WITH VIDEOS OF A GEAR ON THE DEFROST DOOR STRIPPED/BROKEN, THESE REPORTS GO BACK YEARS TO CURRENT. SEEMS GM DOES NOT PLAN TO AUTHORIZE A RECALL FOR THIS SAFETY ISSUE. I CHECKED WITH LOCAL CHEVY DEALER AND CHEVY CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS TOLD THERE IS NO RECALL RELATED TO THIS ISSUE.

BEEN HEARING TICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. CODE P0234

I AM WRITING TO REQUEST AN INVESTIGATION INTO CHEVROLET CRUZE HEATER BLEND DOOR ACTUATOR FAILURES. THE ISSUE IS A SMALL PLASTIC GEAR THAT STRIPS OUT AND DOES NOT ALLOW THE BLEND DOOR TO CYCLE FROM WINDSHIELD DEFROST / DASH VENTS / AND FLOOR VENTS. THIS IS A HIGH SAFETY CONCERN IN COLD / RAINY WEATHER DRIVING DUE TO THE VEHICLE OPERATOR IS UNABLE TO ADJUST THE BLED DOOR TO DEFROST THE WINDSHIELD. THIS IN TURN ALLOWS THE WINDSHIELD TO BECOME FOGGED, (OR FROSTY IN EXTREME COLD) WHICH LEADS TO VERY POOR VISIBILITY. I HAVE A PROFESSIONAL YOUTUBE CHANNEL THAT SHOWS THE ISSUE IN DETAIL THE LINK IS HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/I5PDAIA0P-8 QUOTES TO REPAIR THIS ISSUE RANGE FROM $800.00 TO $1500.00. BEING THIS FAILURE CAN LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT CAUSED FROM POOR VISIBILITY FROM AN OBVIOUS DESIGN FLAW, TO CUT CORNERS AND SAVE MONEY, THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT. MY VIDEO HAS NEARLY 11,000 VIEWS FROM PEOPLE WITH THIS PROBLEM. ALSO ALMOST EVERY FORUM ONLINE HAVE PEOPLE DISCUSSING THIS PROBLEM. I BELIEVE IT IS N BAD TASTE FOR CHEVROLET TO NOT YET ACKNOWLEDGE THIS AS A RECALL.

DEFROST QUIT WORKING..AIR BLOWS OUT OF ALL OTHER VENTS BUT NOT DEFROST

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR MAKING A WEIRD NOISE WHEN ACCELERATING AND THE RPM GOES UP BUT THE CAR IS NOT UP TO SPEED. THEN SOME LOUD WEIRD NOISE HAPPENS WHEN YOU PRESS ON THE GAS. I TOOK IT TO GET DIAGNOSED AND IT SAID SOMETHING ABOUT A TURBO UNDER-BOOST.

THE LOCKS KEEP LOCKING & UNLOCKING, SOMETIMES AFTER GETTING THE FEELING THAT THE CAR WAS BUMPED, WHICH IT WASN'T. LATELY IT ALMOST STALLS THEN ACCELERATES TOO QUICKLY & MAKES A REVVING SOUND. I'M NOT DRIVING IT RIGHT NOW. THE BUMPING & LOCKS ON & OFF HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING OR WHILE STOPPED.I CAN'T GIVE A DATE. IT'S BEEN HAPPENING FOR COUPLE OF MONTHS. THANK YOU

COOLANT IS LEAKING AND NEEDING TO BE REFILLED DAILY, SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT ON EVERYDAY. 'ENGINE HOT, CAR NEEDS TO IDLE' COMES ON ANYTIME YOU DRIVE IT. ENGINE POWERED REDUCED. AS FOR ELECTRICAL, WHILE FRONT PANEL WILL GO BLACK AND EVERYTHING WILL SHUT DOWN FOR A COUPLE HOURS OR EVEN DAYS.

THE LAST FEW DAYS I HAVE BEEN GETTING MESSAGES ON MY DASH WITH ERRORS SUCH AS 'SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL/SERVICE STABILITRAK'. TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A DIAGNOSIS CHECK AND WAS TOLD NOTHING SHOWED UP. HOWEVER, THIS MORNING WHILE ON MY COMMUTE TO WORK, I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR DECELERATED AND I GOT THE MESSAGE 'ENGINE POWER HAS BEEN REDUCED/SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL/SERVICE STABILITRAK' AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. BECAUSE OF THIS, I WAS FORCED TO PULL ONTO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD WHILE ALMOST BEING HIT BY OTHER VEHICLES. THIS WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND SCARY FOR ME BECAUSE I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT HAPPENED AND IT COULD HAVE COST ME MY LIFE, AS WELL AS OTHERS.

I WAS SITTING IN MY VEHICLE WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING AND THE AIR CONDITIONER ON, SINCE IT IS AUGUST AND VERY HOT IN LAS VEGAS. I HAD BEEN IN MY VEHICLE FOR APPROXIMATELY FIVE MINUTES ABOUT TO LEAVE WHEN MY AIR CONDITIONER STOPPED BLOWING COLD AIR. I SMELT AN ELECTRICAL SMELL IN COMING THROUGH THE VENTS. THEN MY CAR SHUT OFF AND SMOKE BEGAN POURING OUT FROM UNDERNEATH THE HOOD. I QUICKLY EXITED MY VEHICLE AND CALLED THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. WITHIN A COUPLE MINUTES, THE ENTIRE FRONT OF MY VEHICLE WAS IN ENGULFED IN FLAMES. I HAVE NOT DONE ANY MECHANICAL MAINTENANCE OR WORK TO MY VEHICLE RECENTLY. I HAD MY OIL CHANGED APPROXIMATELY 1000 MILES AGO. I HAD NOT HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH MY VEHICLE UNTIL IT CAUGHT ON FIRE SPONTANEOUSLY AND RANDOMLY WITHOUT WARNING.

OUT OF NO WHERE THE ENGINE STARTS TO SPUTTER WHILE SITTING IN IDLE ON THE 2013 CHEVROLET CRUZE. IT IS THE VALVE COVER, LETTING IN TOO MUCH AIR TO THE FUEL SYSTEM CAUSING THE ENGINE TO SPUTTER TO TRY TO CORRECT WHICH, IF NOT TAKEN CARE OF IMMEDIATELY, CAUSES THE CRANK SHAFT TO GO BAD WHICH MAKES YOUR CAR SOUND LIKE YOU SHOULD BE ON THE JETSONS. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF THIS SAME COMPLAINT OVER THE INTERNET AND WANTED TO MAKE YOU AWARE AS I AM NOW HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE.

VIHICLE WAS ON FREEWAY AND HEATED UP SO BAD QUICKLY AND HAD TO PULL OVER. . LOOSES COOLANT CONSTANTLY. PART NEEDS TO BE CHANGED EVERY COUPLE OF MONTHS. IT IS HARD TO GET THE PART IN MY AREA AND NEIGHBOR CITIES BECAUSE IT HAPPENS TO A LOT TO DIFFERENT PEOPLE WITH THE SAME CAR. I AM CONSTANTLY FIXING LINES AND REPLACING COOLANT EVERY WEEK.

THE TURBO BOOSTER MALIFUNCTION THE CAR WILL NOT PICK UP SPEED AND TIME WOULD STOP ALL WILL YOU ARE ACCELERATING ON THE GAS

THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER HAS FAILED TWICE IN THIS CAR, AND THE SECOND TIME IS OUT OF WARRANTY. BOTH FAILURES OCCURRED WITHIN APPROXIMATELY 90K MILES. THE COST TO REPLACE THIS IS ABOUT $1200. THIS CAN BE FINANCIALLY DEVASTATING TO SOME FAMILIES.

A FEW WEEKS AGO, I EXPERIENCED AN ALERT REGARDING MY ENGINE OVERHEATING (AC OFF DUE TO ENGINE OVER HEAT, ENGINE OVERHEAT IDLE ENGINE). I TURNED MY CAR OFF AND ALLOWED IT TO COOL DOWN BEFORE CONTINUING MY TRAVELS HOME. ONCE I REACHED MY HOME, I SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT AT GRAND PRIZE CHEVROLET IN NANUET, NY FOR THURSDAY, JUNE 27. THE MECHANICS AT THIS DEALERSHIP FOUND THAT MY WATER PUMP AND HOSES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS A $1600 JOB, AND I PAID TO HAVE THIS WORK DONE, I WAS NOT ABLE TO PICK MY CAR UP FROM THE DEALER UNTIL JUNE 29. ABOUT TWO WEEKS LATER ON FRIDAY, JULY 12, I RECEIVED THE ENGINE OVERHEATING ALERT ONCE AGAIN. I PROMPTLY CALLED GRAND PRIZE AGAIN, AND SCHEDULED THE EARLIEST APPOINTMENT I COULD. I WAS NOT ABLE TO BRING MY CAR IN TO BE LOOKED AT UNTIL TUESDAY, JULY 16. AGAIN, THE MECHANICS AT THIS DEALERSHIP FOUND A DIFFERENT PROBLEM WITH MY CAR. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE COOLANT TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ALONG WITH THE RADIATOR CAP. I HAD BOTH OF THESE ITEMS REPLACED AT NO COST. I ASKED THEM TO TEST THE ENGINE ONCE AGAIN TO BE SURE THAT THE PROBLEM HAD BEEN RESOLVED. UPON CHECKING THE ENGINE, THEY FOUND THAT MY ENGINE WAS DAMAGED AND I WOULD EITHER NEED A NEW ENGINE HEAD OR A COMPLETELY NEW ENGINE. I WAS INFORMED THAT A NEW ENGINE HEAD WOULD COST ABOUT $4200 AND A NEW ENGINE WOULD COST ABOUT $8000.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE (2013 CHEVROLET CRUZE) IN 2016 AND IT HAD MILEAGE OF 3,500 MILES. LESS THAN A MONTH OF OWNERSHIP AN ALERT SHOWED AND SOUNDED IN THE DASH LIGHTS THAT THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WAS OPEN WHEN IT WASN'T AND THIS WAS WHILE IN A PARK POSITION AND WHILE IN MOTION ON ANY ROAD. THE ALERT WAS ALMOST CONSTANT SO I BROUGHT IT TO A REPAIR SHOP WHICH REPLACED THE LATCH IN THE DOOR 3 SEPARATE TIMES AND THE PROBLEM STILL OCCURRED. EVENTUALLY I ASKED TO JUST HAVE THE LATCH DISCONNECTED IN THE DOOR BECAUSE NO ONE COULD FIX IT AND STOP THE ALERT AND SOUNDS FROM GOING OFF. SO NOW I HAVE A $300 LATCH DISCONNECTED INSIDE THE DOOR BECAUSE THAT WOULDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM PLUS I HAVE TO MANUALLY LOCK AND UNLOCK THAT DOOR IF I NEED TO USE IT WHEN ALL OF THE OTHER 3 DOORS CAN BE ELECTRONICALLY LOCKED/UNLOCKED WITH THE FOB OR THE LOCK/UNLOCK BUTTON IN THE CAR. NOW A NEW PROBLEM THAT IS CURRENTLY GOING ON IS THE REAR BRAKE LIGHT IN THE BACK WINDSHIELD IS VERY DIM WHILE IN A PARK POSITION OR WHILE IN MOTION DRIVING ON ANY ROAD. IT STILL WORKS BUT IS NOT AS BRIGHT AS IT USED TO BE. IT'S A LIGHT BAR THAT SITS IN THE BACK WINDOW ACTING AS A 3RD BRAKE LIGHT AND IT DOES NOT CONTAIN LIGHT BULBS. ALSO, I'VE HAD A COUPLE OF OTHER ALERTS SHOW UP IN THE DASH FOR A DAY OR MORE WHILE IN A PARK POSITION OR IN MOTION DRIVING ON ANY ROAD AND THEN THEY GO AWAY AFTER A FEW DAYS. I SUSPECT THIS VEHICLE HAS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AND I CAN'T AFFORD TO HAVE IT DIAGNOSED.

NEEDS BRAND NEW ENGINE. HARD TIME ACCELERATING. SHOP SAYS RODS INSIDE ENGINE ARE BEING KNOCKED AROUND. ONLY 120,000 MILES. HARD TO ACCELERATION AT ANY TIME. ENGINE LIGHT IS SIGNALED.

THE CAR SAID OVERHEAT-AC OFF CODE- CAR WAS VERY LOW ON COOLANT- TOOK TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THE ENGINE WAS BLOWN AND NOT TO DRIIVE THE CAR- I ASK ABOUT SERVICE BULLETIN- BUT WAS TOLD THIS DID NOT APPLY. I HAD PROBLEM WITH OVERHEATING 18 MONTHS AGO- REPLACED, THERMOSTAT, CANISTER, ETC AS MY EXPENSE.I ASK IF THIS WAS RELATED AND WAS TOLD NO. I RESEARCHED PROBLEMS AND FOUND MANY ABOUT ENGINE AND COOLING PROBLEMS. THE DEALER HAS MADE NO EFFORT TO HELP RESOLVE THE ISSUE. I TRIED TO HAVE CAR TRANSFERRED TO A DIFFERENT BRANCH OF DEALERSHIP TO HAVE PROBLEM EVALUATED- I WAS INFORMED BY SALESMAN THAT THE DEALER REFUSED TO TRANSFER THE CAR TO HAVE IT CHECKED. HIS SEEMS VERY ODD. I CALLED GMC- CHEVROLET DIVISION BUT HAVE NOT GOTTEN A RESPONSE. THE DEALER WANTS ME TO TRADE IN CAR FOR A DIFFERENT ONE AND WILL OFFER ME $300-$600. WHICH IS RIDICULOUS. AFTER I TRADE IN THE CAR-NO ONE CAN CHECK IT- THE CAR STILL RUNS BUT I AM AFRAID TO GET STUCK.

THE CAR WOULD BECOME HARD TO STEER AND CONTROL. ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL IN STABILITY CONTROL WARNING LIGHTS FLASHING. THIS HAPPENS WITHOUT WARNING CAN HAPPEN AT ANY SPEED HIGHWAY ORE CITY. THE TIMES THIS HAS OCCURRED WAS ON THE HIGHWAY. (THIS IS A TSB I LATER FOUND BUT THE COULD EASILY CAUSED A CRASH ON ACCIDENT)

MY CAR IS A DANGER THE ENGINE POWER SLOWS DOWN WHEN DRIVING CAUSING ANOTHER TO HIT IN THE BACK POWER STEERING LIGHT DISPLAYS, STABILIZE TRACT AND ENGINE POWER, I HAVE ALREADY HAD ONE HIT AND RUN ACCIDENT.I TOOK CAR TO CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP HARBISON RD COLUMBIA SC THEY JUST HALF REPAIR IT SOMEONE MAY DIE IF CAR CONTINUE TO POWER DOWN.

CAR HAS BEEN RETURNED TO DEALER FOR REPAIRS CONCERNING THE MOTOR AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS. THEY HAVE NOT BEEN SERVICED OUTSIDE OF THE DEALERSHIP. CAR FREQUENTLY QUITS AND HAS TO BE JUMPSTARTED.
