2013 CHEVROLET CRUZE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO POWER STEERING GOING OUT. *LD *JS

I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 35 MPH ON A CITY STREET WHEN THE PERSON IN FRONT OF ME SLAMMED ON THEIR BRAKES THE FIRST TIME I HIT THE BRAKE AND THE CAR STOPPED THE NEXT TIME I HIT THE BRAKE IT WAS HARD AND DIDN'T STOP THE CAR CAUSING ME TO CRASH INTO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME, THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY AND I THINK IT SHOULD HAVE, CAUSING MY HEAD TO SLAM INTO THE STEERING WHEEL CAUSING ME TO BITE MY TONGUE IN HALF. I HAVE CONTACT CHEVROLET AND GM MULTIPLE TIMES AND THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING THEY LITERALLY HAVE NOT CARED ONE BIT. I BELIEVE THEIR IS A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM OR THE VACUUM SYSTEM IN THE BRAKES AND I AM NOT THE FIRST PERSON THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO IN A CRUZE, I LOOKED IT UP AFTER IT HAPPENED AND I FOUND A FEW OTHER STORIES OF THE SAME THING HAPPENING.

MY CHECK ENGINE KEEPS GOING ON AND OFF AND WHEN COMES ON GIVE OUT POWER LITTLE BY LITTLE TILL MY ENGINE REDUCE POWER COMES UP AND GIVES OUT AND ALMOST CRASHED ON FREEWAY SERVAL TIMES

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET CRUZE. WHILE PARKING THE VEHICLE, THE POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC REPAIRED THE POWER STEERING. THE DIAGNOSIS INFORMATION WAS NOT PROVIDED. THE DEALER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 39,000. .*BF*JB

DEFROST SWITCH/DOOR MOTOR GEARS ARE BROKEN CAUSING THE WINDSHIELD TO NOT BE ABLE TO DEFROST. DRIVING VISIBILITY IS SLIM TO NONE AT ALL.

WENT OUT AND STARTED CAR UP. CAR WAS SHAKING AND SERVICE STABILITRAC AND SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL WERE ON THE DASH SCREEN. THIS HAPPENED BACK IN DECEMBER AS WELL AND THEN THE CAR EVENTUALLY STOPPED WORKING ALTOGETHER.

I HAVE HAD A COOLANT LEAK AND HAVE HAD IT REPAIRED 5 TIMES SINCE I PURCHASED. REPAIRED AT SUBURBAN CHEVROLET IN EDEN PRARIE. NOW IT HAS TO HAPPEN AGAIN SO IT IS GOING BACK AND I HAVE HAD IT TOWED AND STILL OWE 800 OR SO CRAZY

TAKATA RECALL A FEW MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON THEN IT GOES OFF THE LAST FEW MONTHS IT'S BACK ON AND MAKES A NOISE WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM IS ON.

EXCESSIVE CONDENSATION INSIDE THE CAR. WHILE RUNNING THE AC, LOTS OF WATER COMING OUT OF VENTS AND VERY OFTEN IT QUICKLY COVERS THE WHOLE WINDSHIELD TO A STATE WHERE THERE IS 0 VISIBILITY. RECURRING ISSUE. MAJOR ISSUE. LIFE THREATENING CONDITION.

THE PASSENGER WIPER BLADE MOTOR BROKE RIGHT AFTER TURNING THE WIPERS ON, AND WILL NOT MOVE THE WIPER. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN THE PASSENGER SIDE STOPPED WORKING. THE DRIVER SIDE WIPER RANDOMLY STOPS WORKING IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING AT RANDOM TIMES, ON CITY STREETS, HIGHWAYS, ECT.

MY VEHICLE REPEATEDLY RAN HOT EVERYTIME I WOULD DRIVE IT OVER A MILE ON THE ROAD. MY HUSBAND CHANGED THE THERMOSTAT, ALWAYS MADE SURE IT HAD COOLANT, CHECKED MY HOSES, AND REPLACED THE WATER PUMP. BUT EVENTUALLY IT BLEW A HEAD GASKET. WE NOTICED IT DID SO WHEN WE SEEN WATER HAD MIXED INTO THE OIL. SUPREME CHEVROLET REPLACED THE ENGINE AT 96,000 MILES IN NOVEMBER 2016 UNDER WARRANTY. I DROVE THE CAR ABOUT 54,000 MILES WITH THE REPLACED ENGINE AND IT TOO STARTED RUNNING HOT EVERYTIME I WOULD DRIVE IT ABOUT A MILE DOWN THE ROAD. THE DASH LIGHT WOULD SAY TURN A/C OFF AND IDLE ENGINE OR TURN OFF ENGINE DUE TO HIGH TEMPERATURE. WE CHANGED THE RADIATOR, THE HOSES, THE WATER PUMP, AND THE THERMOSTAT ON THE CAR AND IT REMAINED RUNNING HOT WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES UNTIL THAT ENGINE TOO BLEW A HEAD GASKET.THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT WARRANTY THE SECOND ENGINE ALTHOUGH IT ONLY HAS 67,000 MILES ON THE NEW ENGINE. AND NOW I AM LEFT WITH NO VEHICLE AND STILL OWE $6700.00 ON THE CHEVROLET CRUZE DUE TO THE FAULTY COOLANT SYSTEM.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR ON AN OFF RAMP THE DISPLAY PANEL SHOWED 3 WARNING LIGHT, ABS, TRACTION CONTROL, AND BRAKE. THE COMMUNICATION PANEL, WHERE THE SPEED AND ALL COMMUNICATIONS ABOUT THE CAR ARE GIVEN, THEN SAID REDUCED ENGINE POWER AND MY CAR SLOWED DOWN AND MY POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING. THE PANEL THEN ALSO SAID SERVICE STABILITRAK AND SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL. IT HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN ONCE SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE AND THE DEALER REPLACED THE THE ECM A FEW YEARS AGO AND IT HASN'T FIXED THE ISSUE AS IT STILL OCCURS. THE MOST RECENT EVENT HAPPENED LAST WEEK.

DRIVING LAST NIGHT FROM WORK TO HOME AT [XXX] AROUND 7PM, I STARTED GETTING MESSAGES IN MY CLUSTER SUCH AS SERVICE STABILITRAK, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL AND ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED. JUST SUDDENLY MY CAR LOST ALL THE POWER AND THROTTLE WHEN I WAS TRAVELLING IN A HIGHWAY AROUND 70 MPH ON THE SECOND FASTEST LANE. IT WAS VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS SITUATION ONCE MY THROTTLE WAS COMPLETE UNRESPONSIVE AND COULD FIND MYSELF AT THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY AT 5MPH . MY INSTINCT WAS TO TURN ON THE HAZARD LIGHTS AND TRY TO MOVE THE CAR TO THE SLOWEST LANE AS SAFE AS POSSIBLE. I FEEL LUCKY THAT NO ONE HIT ME IN THE BACK AND I CONSIDER THAT I WAS LUCKY TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM AT THIS TIME OF THE EVENING. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO TAKE THE EXIT [XXX] AND FROM THERE PARK THE CAR TO EVALUATE IT. I COULD NOT FIND ANY VISIBLE DEFECT EITHER INTERNALLY OR ON ENGINE COMPARTMENT. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND ON SEVERAL TIMES AND STILL HAD THE SAME CLUSTER MESSAGES AND DERATED POWER. I WAS STILL ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR SAFELY TO THE PARKING LOT OF [XXX] LOOKING FOR A SAFER PLACE TO WAIT FOR MY INSURANCE COMPANY. WHEN WAITING FOR THE AAA OPERATOR I WAS ABLE TO RE-START THE CAR WITH NO DISPLAY MESSAGE BUT ONLY WITH THE ENGINE CHECK LIGHT ON. I DROVE THE CAR IN THE PARKING LOT AND NOTICED THE CAR SEEMED TO BE OK. ONCE ON THAT TIME I WAS STILL WAITING FOR THE AAA OPERATOR I DECIDED TO TAKE [XXX] AND I WAS ABLE TO SAFE ARRIVE HOME. CHECKING THE SYMPTOM I HAD IN GOOGLE AND YOUTUBE I LEARNED ABOUT THE PROBLEM WITH THE

THE WINDSHIELD WIPER LINKAGE FAILED VIA A BALL JOINT FAILURE IN THE WIPER MECHANISM. THIS CAUSED THE DRIVER SIDE WIPER TO BECOME FREE MOVING, STAYING ATTACHED TO THE CAR. WHEN IT FAILED, IT WOUND UP GETTING PINNED AGAINST THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR, FORCING ME TO EXIT THE VEHICLE VIA THE PASSENGER SIDE. THIS FAILURE OCCURRED WHEN I WAS DRIVING THROUGH WESTERN MD ON INTERSTATE 68 NEAR GRANTSVILLE, MD, DURING A LIGHT SNOW AND SALTING OPERATIONS WERE UNDERWAY. I WAS USING THE WIPERS AND WASHER FLUID TO KEEP THE WINDSHIELD CLEAR OF SALT. AFTER THIS FAILURE, I USED CABLE TIES TO TIE THE LOOSE WIPER ARM TO THE ATTACHED WIPER ARM, THEREFORE DISABLING MY WIPERS UNTIL WE GOT TO OUR DESTINATION, TWO HOURS FURTHER DOWN THE ROAD. I HAD TO STOP EVERY 10-15 MINUTES TO CLEAR THE SALT OFF OF THE WINDSHIELD. I REPLACED THE PART, BUT HAVE THE OEM PART AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION, IF REQUESTED. I NOTICED THIS SPECIFIC PART WAS RECALLED ON THE 2013 CHEVROLET EQUINOX.

I CONTACTED CHEVROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE ON 1-10-18 AND SPOKE TO A SUPERVISOR. REITERATING CALL. THE VEHICLE HAS 35000 MILES ON IT. IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY BECAUSE OF PURCHASE DATE. ON 4 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED. #1) NOV 18 LIGHTS WERE ON, FLASHERS WERE ON AND RADIO WAS ON WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE GARAGE AND KEY WAS IN THE OFF POSITION #2) DEC 2018 SAME AS #1 #3) DEC 2018 VEHICLE WAS RUNNING WITH THE KEY IN THE OFF POSITION IN THE GARAGE. BY RUNNING I MEAN THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING AND EXHAUST FUMES WERE EVERYWHERE. #4) JAN 2019. SAME AS #3. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND COULD HAVE STARTED A FIRE OR CARBON DIOXIDE POISONING COULD'VE OCCURRED. THE REPRESENTATIVES TOLD ME THERE IS NO RECALLS WHICH I ALREADY KNEW AND STATED THEY WOULD NOT PAY FOR A REPAIR. I TOLD THEM ABOUT A SERVICE BULLETIN, THEY DENIED THERE WAS ONE. THERE ARE TWO NUMBERS PI1329(DATE 0CT 14) AND A NHTSA BULLETIN ( ID NUMBER 10114279) DATE OCT 14. I'D APPRECIATE YOUR PROMPT ATTENTION TO THIS SERIOUS MATTER AND WOULD LIKE THIS FIXED FOR FREE AT THE DEALER. CAN YOU CONTACT CHEVROLET AND TELL THEM THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL

COULD PUSH THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND IT WON'T ACCELERATE. PRESSING THE GAS WITH NORMAL PRESSURE MAKES THE RPM'S INCREASE VERY QUICKLY AND THE CAR EITHER WON'T ACCELERATE OR WILL ACCELERATE VERY SLOWLY. THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON PREVIOUSLY FOR TWO DAYS AND THEN SHUT OFF AND HASN'T COME BACK ON YET. I THINK IT IS THE TURBO. UNKNOWN CAUSE.

MARCH 2016. PROBLEM: CAR NOT ACCELERATING CORRECTLY, DIAGNOSIS: ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SENSOR BROKEN MARCH 2018. PROBLEM: CAR OVERHEATING AND LOSING POWER OVER 40MPH, DIAGNOSIS: COOLANT HOSE BREAK MAY 2018. CAR OVERHEATING AND LOSING POWER OVER 40MPH, DIAGNOSIS: TRANSMISSION COOLER LINE BREAK JUNE 2018: PROBLEM: SPEDOMETER STARTED MALFUNCTIONING AND CAR BEGAN SPUTTERING ON HIGHWAY AT 65MPH, DIAGNOSIS: TRANSMISSION COMPUTER (INPUT AND OUTPUT SENSOR) FRIED JANUARY 2019. PROBLEM: COOLING DRAINING EXTREMELY FAST AND CAR MAKING GURGLING NOISE (AT ALL SPEEDS), DIAGNOSIS: WATER PUMP BREAK, THERMOSTAT BREAK, SERPENTINE BELT AND 5. JANUARY 2019: PROBLEM: OIL LEAK, DIAGNOSIS: TIMING COVER GASKET NEED REPLACEMENT

FOR SOME REASON WHEN I DRIVE MY CAR IT STARTS SHAKING SOMETIMES IT HAPPENS WHEN I START DRIVING OR WHEN I BRAKE I TRIED TO FIND THE PROBLEM AND IT LOOKS THAT IT IS THE DRIVE SHAFT. I THOUGH THAT IT IS SOMETHING THAT ONLY HAPPENED TO ME BUT I FOUND OUT THAT THERE ARE MORE CARS INVOLVED IN THAT BUT MY CHEVY CRUZE 2013 LOOKS LIKE IT IS NOT NOT ONE OF THOSE. WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT IT ?

MY CRUZE IS LEAKING OIL FROM THE OIL PUMP COOLER. I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC SHOP AMD HAD IT DIAGNOSED. HE SAID THERE IS A NATIONWIDE BACKORDER FOR THE PART. HE FINALLY FOUND ONE BUT HE HAS TO DRIVE OVER AN HOUR AWAY TO GET IT. THEY HAVE ANOTHER CRUZE IN THE SHOP WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I AM JUST WONDERING WHY THERE ISNT A RECALL IF THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER NATIONWIDE? MY CAR HAS APPROXIMATELY 125,000 MILES ON IT AND I JUST PURCHASED IT A MONTH AGO. I KNEW THERE WAS AN OIL LEAK SOMEWHERE WHEN THERE WAS A FRESH PUDDLE OF OIL IN MY DRIVEWAY.

CAR IS HAVING TURBO PROBLEMS. NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR, BUT IT SHOWS A TURBO UNDERBOOST DEFECT. SAYS ONLINE IT IS COMMON AMONGST CHEVY CRUZES

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET CRUZE. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE ENGINE SHOOK AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT ALSO HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO EVERYBODY RIDES AUTO SALES (4200 RIVERS AVE, NORTH CHARLESTON, SC, (843) 203-8888) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TURBO NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 122,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET CRUZE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GLENDORA CHEVROLET (1959 AUTO CENTRE DR, GLENDORA, CA 91740, (909) 474-7364) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56,655.

WHILE MAKING RIGHT TURN IN CITY, CAR JERKED, ALMOST LOST CONTROL AND "SERVICE POWER STEERING" LIGHT CAME ON, THEN CAR RECOVERED AND WAS DRIVEN HOME

WIPER ASSEMBLY BROKE AND DEALER REPLACED ASSEMBLY AND MOTOR, 1 MONTH LATER NEW ASSEMBLY HAS BROKEN AGAIN, CAUSING WIPER ARMS TO FREEZE

FROM ONSTAR: P0087 THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION SYSTEM IS NOT PERFORMING AS EXPECTED. AN ISSUE HAS BEEN DETECTED IN THE ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM WHICH MONITORS AND CONTROLS ENGINE TEMPERATURE TO MAINTAIN OPTIMAL OPERATING TEMPERATURES AND AVOID OVERHEATING CONDITIONS. IF YOU ARE DRIVING UNDER NORMAL OPERATING CONDITIONS, PLEASE CHECK THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. IF THE NEEDLE IS IN THE RED WARNING AREA, THE ENGINE IS TOO HOT. PULL OFF THE ROAD, STOP THE VEHICLE, AND TURN OFF THE ENGINE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE SERVICE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE CONDITIONS: DRIVING 30MPH, ASPHAULT, WINTER WEATHER

WOW THIS IS THE BAD CAR EVER I HAVE A LOT FIRST AIR FLOW SENSOR BAD PVC VALVE 2 TIMES NEW

ENGINE OVERHEATING REGULAR MAINTENANCE PERFORMED EVERY 3,000 MILES COOLANT SYSTEM PLUGS REPLACED SPARK PLUGS REPLACED DIAGNOSTIC PERFORMED (FIRESTONE) DEALERSHIP INSPECTED EMISSIONS TEST PASSED CAR'S ONBOARD DISPLAY REPEATEDLY DISPLAYS "A/C OFF DUE TO HIGH ENGINE TEMPERATURE" AND "ENGINE OVERHEATING - IDLE ENGINE" WHEN NOT UNDER LOAD AND OCCURS AT REGULAR HIGHWAY (55-75MPH) AND CITY (30-45MPH) SPEEDS. CEL FLASHES (3-5 SECONDS OF INTERVAL FLASH) RANDOMLY - SPARK PLUGS REPLACED LAST OCCURANCE.

VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING LOSING COMPLETE POWER AND STEERING! SO DANGEROUS AND DEADLY! TAKING THE CAR IN TODAY, CAR ALSO RIDING ROUGH AND MISFIRING. ALL MAINTENANCE DONE EVERY 3,000 MILES. THIS CAR HAS HAD ONE PROBLEM AFTER ANOTHER AND THIS LAST ONE COULD HAVE KILLED MY TEENAGER DAUGHTER! IT STOPPED ON HER 5 TIMES ON THE FREEWAY!

EXACT SAME COOLANT SYSTEM PROBLEMS AS IN THE EARLIER MODEL CHEVY CRUZE RECALLS. FAULTY COOLANT SYSTEM, SPECIFICALLY A LEAKING WATER PUMP, INACCURATE THERMOSTAT AND LEAKING COOLANT FEED AND RETURN LINES TO THE TURBOCHARGER. SO FAR IT HAS COST ME CLOSE TO $1500 AT ONLY 110K MILES AND I STILL HAVE TO REPLACE THE BLOWN HEAD GASKET WHICH WAS THE RESULT OF THE COOLANT SYSTEM BEING UNABLE TO COOL THE ENGINE PROPERLY DUE TO THE BAD WATER PUMP. TOTAL LEMON, THIS WILL BE THE SECOND TIME THE HEAD GASKET IS BLOWN WITHIN TWO YEARS.

MY 2013 CHEVY CRUZE LT HAS AN ISSUE WITH THE TURBOCHARGER. IT APPEARS TO BE A VERY COMMON ISSUE AMONG CHEVY CRUZES. THE CODE I BELIEVE IT GIVES IS P0299. WHILE THE ACCELERATION AND POWER ALWAYS SEEMED OFF SINCE PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT, THE FIRST TIME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WAS AT ABOUT 71,400. I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT THE TIME. HOWEVER, THERE HAVE BEEN OCCASIONS WHEN I'M GOING UPHILL AND DESPITE THE SUFFICIENT HORSEPOWER, IT WON'T ACCELERATE AS IT SHOULD. AS A RESULT, THE TURBOCHARGER ISSUE HAS CAUSED THE CAR TO GO MUCH SLOWER THAN THE SURROUNDING CARS WHILE GOING UPHILL, WHICH CLEARLY SEEMS TO ENDANGER THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS AS WELL AS SURROUNDING CARS.

A/C OFF DUE TO EXTREME HIGH ENGINE TEMPERATURE CAM ON A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, I TOOK IT IN AND IT WAS FIXED SUPPOSEDLY. A WEEK LATER IT CAME ON AGAIN. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN 4 TIME NOW. AS OF TODAY IT IS STILL IN THE SHOP. THEY HAD TO CALL THE MANUFACTURER FOR SOME HELP AND STILL, EVEN A NEW COMPUTER AND THE LIGHT STILL COMES ON. THIS IS GETTING TO BE TOO MUCH. I HAVE TO GO TO WORK.

THE CHEVY ECO CRUZE HAS BEEN GIVING ME PROBLEMS FROM THE START. I WAS DRIVING WITH THE AC ON AND CAME TO A SIGNAL LIGHT WHEN THE AC SHUTS OF & COMES BACK ON. ALSO AT THE SIGNAL LIGHT I THAUGHT I HAD GOTTEN A TAP FROM THE BACK FROM ANOTHER VEHICLE BECAUSE THE CAR JERKED. TURNED OUT NO CAR BEHIND ME BUT CAR STILL JERKS FORWARD WITH FOOT ALL THE WAY DOWN ON BRAKE PEDAL. NEXT IF I'M DRIVING AND SLOW DOWN TO MAKE, LET'S SAY A LEFT HAND TURN ONCE I MAKE THE TURN THE CAR IS SLUGGISH AS IF IT HAS TROUBLE PICKING UP SPEED. HAPPENS ALL THE TIME FROM A STOPPED POSITION OR IF I SLOW DOWN IT TAKES FOR EVER TO PICK UP MOMENTUM. MAKING IT SCAREY TO MERGE OR JUST BE ON THE ROAD. ALSO IF I TURN THE RADIO UP THE LIGHTS WILL DIE OR FADE SO I'VE REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR BUT IT STILL DOES IT. IVE CHECKED CONNECTIONS WIRES YOU NAME IT.

ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AIR LEAK CAME FROM VALVE COVER. APPARENTLY THE COVER AND MANIFOLD WENT BAD. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL AND PERMANENT FIX ON THIS IMMEDIATELY. TOO MANY OF THESE CARS ARE BEING SOLD, TOO MUCH MONEY IS BEING MADE NOT TO HAVE A FIX FOR THIS. MY CAR IS 16,000 MILES OUT OF WARRANTY. RIDICULOUS!

VEHICLE DORMANT WATER INLET, DORMANT WATER OUTLET AND RESERVOIR HOSE ARE ALL FAULTY. CAR WILL LEAK COOLANT DUE TO ALL THREE ISSUES. THIS CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO OVERHEATAND BEGIN TO SLOW ON ITS OWN WITH NO REGARD FOR LOCATION OR THE DRIVER. I.E. SLOWING ON THE HIGHWAY PLACING THE DRIVER AT RISK. THE DORMANT WATER OUTLET IS MADE OF TWO PLASTIC MOLDINGS THAT ARE BONDED OR PRESSED TOGETHER LEAVING A SEEM WHERE HOSES CONNECT THESE SEEMS ARE WEEK AND SEEM TO BE THE MAIN SOURCE OF PEOPLES ISSUE INCLUDING MINE. ALONG WITH THE COOLANT ISSUE THE VALVE COVER PURGE VALVE IS FAULTY ALSO CAUSING EXHAUST TO NOT EXIT THE ENGINE UNDER CERTAIN PSI CAUSES SQUEAKING AND POOR THROTTLE RESPONSE ALSO WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE THE PCV ITSELF TO FAULT OR BREAK.THIS ISSUE MAY BE THE SOURCE OF THE CAR PULLING WHILE STOPED AT A RED LIGHT CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO JERK FORWARD AND POSSIBLY MISFIRING THE ENGINE PISTONS. VEHICLE IS NOT WORTH THE VALUE PAID FOR. ALL ISSUE SEEM TO ARISE AFTER 36000 MILES AND AFTER 5 YEARS WHICH MEANS THESE MANUFACTURER DEFECTS ARE NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. THERE ARE MORE ISSUES ASSOCIATED WITH THIS YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL. I AM SURE I WILL BE BACK HERE REPORTING MORE ISSUES. ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED BECAUSE IT SEEMS THAT ALL CHEVY WANTS IS MY MONEY AT THIS POINT.

THE VEHICLE WILL OCASSIONALLY NOT STOP WHEN PRESSURE IS APPLIED TO THE BRAKES. I HAVE NOTICED IT OCCURS MOST OFTEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN REVERSE. THE BRAKE PEDAL ALSO GETS HARD. IT DOES NOT OCCUR ALL THE TIME.

I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND THE RADIO TURNED OFF, I BARELY MADE IT BEFORE GETTING HIT. THE STEERING WHEEL UNLOCKED AND I TURNED INTO THE FIRST PLACE I COULD. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND TRIED TO START IT BUT THE BRAKE WAS LOCKED AND NOTHING WAS TURNING ON WHEN I PUSHED THE BUTTON. TRIED A FEW TIMES AND NOTHING. WHILE SITTING THERE FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES THE WHOLE DASH CAME ON AND I WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR. THE RADIO HAD BEEN TURNING ON AND OFF A FEW TIMES ON THIS DRIVE BEFORE THIS HAPPENED. BUT THE RADIO HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR SOME TIME .

STEERING RANDOMLY COMPLETELY LOCKED IN MOTION. SEEMINGLY RANDOM ELECTRICAL PROBLEM REMEDIED ON ITS OWN AND REQUIRED SERVICE TECHNICIAN TO CHECK IT OUT TO ASSES SAFETY. CANT BE SURE OF THE SAFETY OF MY VEHICLE NOW.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET CRUZE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE AIR BAG SENSOR INDICATOR ILLUMINATED WITHOUT WARNING, WHICH WAS A SAFETY CONCERN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ED BOZARTH CHEVROLET (303-751-7500, LOCATED AT 2001 S HAVANA ST, AURORA, CO 80014) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST. THE TECHNICIAN DID NOT DISCLOSE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL; HOWEVER, THE CONTACT WAS LATER INFORMED OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V372000 (AIR BAGS). THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND OFFERED A TEN PERCENT DISCOUNT TOWARDS THE REPAIR COST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 47,000.

INFERIOR PARTS! THERMOSTAT HOUSING HAS ALREADY BEEN REPLACED BY DEALER DUE TO CRACK. NOW, THE INTAKE MANIFOLD, FRONT CRANK SHAFT SEAL & COOLANT RESERVOIR NEED TO BE REPLACED AS WELL. CHECK VALVE ON INTAKE MANIFOLD IS BAD. CRANK SHAFT SEAL MAKES CHIRPING NOISE WHEN ENGINE IS RUNNING OR WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION.

THE INTAKE MANIFOLD IS BAD ON A CAR THAT HAS 58,000 MILES ON IT. EVERY MECHANIC WE TOOK IT TOOK SAID IT'S A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR. THE CAR HAS NO GET UP AND GO AND IT IDLES HARD.

MODE DOOR ACTUATOR WILL NOT DIRECT AIR TO WINDSHIELD. THEREFORE WILL NOT DEFROST WINDSHIELD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET CRUZE. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS UNDERGOING ROUTINE SERVICE, THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC DISCOVERED COOLANT LEAKING FROM THE THERMOSTAT HOUSING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (KEYES CHEVROLET, 5949 VAN NUYS BLVD, VAN NUYS, CA) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE THERMOSTAT AND COOLANT PIPE SEAL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,000.

VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AND CAME TO A STOP IN THE STREET. SMOKE COMING FROM UNDERHOOD VERY HARD ALMOST LOOK TO BE ON FIRE. OIL SPILL EVERYWHERE. CAR IS IN SHOP NOW. THEY SAID IT IS A TURBO ISSUE, WHICH HE SAID IS VERY COMMON ON THE CRUZE. COULD CAUSE ENGINE DAMAGE.

I SMELLED GAS LEAKING AND WHEN I LOOKED UNDER THE HOOD WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING I SAW GAS SPRAYING THE BACK OF MY CAR. IT APPEARED TO BE LEAKING FROM THE HOSE WHERE THE CONNECTER WAS NEXT TO WHAT MAY BE THE FUEL FILTER. THIS CAR IS 5 YEARS OLD WITH 30,375 MILES. I WAS TOLD THE PART IS ON THE NATIONAL BACK ORDER LIST WITH NO IDEAL WHEN IT WILL BE AVAILABLE.

HI I WAS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY TURBO AND I SEEN THAT GENERAL MOTORS HAD A RECALL IN 2014 ON CHEVY CRUZES TURBO I DIDN'T KNOW HAVE MY CAR AROUND THAT TIME AND I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF THERE WAS PREVIOUS OWNERS GOT THE RECALL BUT I READ ONLINE GENERAL MOTORS STOP SELLING THESE VEHICLES FOR A WHILE BECAUSE THE SAME ISSUES BUT THEY HAVE A RECALL ON IT'S THE SAME ISSUE I AM HAVING TROUBLE WITH ON MY 2013 CHEVY CRUZE AND THE CAR IS NOT BACK THAT BUY WARRANTY BECAUSE IT'S 6 YEARS OLD THE TURBO OF THE CAR HAS A WHOLE CAR SMOKING YOU TURN IT ON IT FEELS LIKE THE WHOLE CAR IS GOING TO BLOW UP JON HALL TO GET DIAGNOSTIC WHICH IS $100 BUT I HAD ALREADY GOT IT DONE GNOSTICS FROM AUTOZONE BUT JON HALL CHEVROLET DON'T GO BY ANOTHER DIAGNOSTIC WHICH BOTH CAME OUT TO THE SAME THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM THAT I AM HAVING GENERAL MOTORS BUT ALL THE VEHICLES ALL BUT BUT IT SEEMS AS IF CRUZES FELL THROUGH THE CRACKS IF YOU LOOK OUT ON THE ROAD THAT'S ALL YOU SEE IS TURBO CRUZES THE VEHICLE WAS SO EASY GIVING AWAY UNTIL EVERYBODY GOT ONE THE FAX SO I GUESS YOU JUST VICTIMS AT THE TIME I WAS JUST THANKFUL TO HAVE A CAR NO MATTER IF IT IS A 2013 THE PRICE TO FIX THAT TURBO IS RIDICULOUS JON HALL THEM CHARGE YOU FOR LABOR FEE 400 BUCKS I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO EVEN GET TO THE TURBO NOW THAT MY CAR IS HAVING TURBO FAILURE

WHILE DRIVING A FEW TIMES CAR HAS STOPPED ON ME AND COUKD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT WHILE I WAS IN MOTION CAR JUST CEASED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET CRUZE. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE FAN UNDERNEATH THE HOOD CONTINUOUSLY RAN AND THE "AIR CONDITIONER OFF TO HIGH ENGINE TEMPERATURE" INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE THERMOSTAT AND THE COOLING SENSOR WERE REPLACED. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE DEALER WAS NOT CALLED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 80,000. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.

FRONT TURN SIGNAL BULB LENS COVERS HAVE MELTED. DEALER CLAIMS HE HASN'T SEEN PROBLEM BEFORE AND WANTS $500 TO REPLACE ENTIRE HOUSING UNIT. HAS TO BE PLENTY OF THESE PROBLEMS OUT THERE.
