2014 Chevrolet Cruze complaints

CAR SHAKES WHEN AT RED LIGHT OR JERKS WHEN PULLING OFF.THE ENGINE ALSO OVERHEATS.

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON JAN 2 ON A 4 LANE ROAD IN THE RAIN AT 45 MPH AND MY CAR HYDROPLANED AND HIT THE GUARD RAID HEAD-ON SEVERAL TIMES. MY CAR WAS TOTALED, BOTH FRONT TIRES CAME OFF. MY SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED BUT THE FRONT AIRBAGS DINNOT DEPLOY. MY INSURANCE COMPANY SAID I SHOULD REPORT THIS TO YOU, IN LOOKING AT THE TOTALED VEHICLE THEY FELT THE FRONT AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED.

THERE'S A COOLANT PUMP MADE OF PLASTIC THAT HAS CAUSE SERVAL LEAKS AFTER GETTING THIS LEAKED FIX 2X IT CONTINUED TO LEAK AND CAUSED A FAILED HEAD GASKET AND CRACKED HEAD

WHILE DRIVING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS(70 MPH) THE CAR SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFTED AND REVVED THE ENGINE VERY HIGH(6,000 RPM). THE CAR LOST SPEED AND WOULD NOT DOWNSHIFT. PUNCHED THE GAS AND ENGINE RETURNED TO NORMAL. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SHORTLY THEREAFTER. TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY STATE TURBOCHARGER IS BAD. THE CAR ONLY HAS 62,000 MILES ON IT.

NO WARNING TURBO FAILURE THAT CASES VEHICLE TO LOSE POWER SUDDENLY I WAS ON FREEWAY WHEN ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND A ENGINE POWER REDUCED WARNING CAME ON WENT TO AUTO ZONE AND THEY SAID IT WAS A P0299 HAVE SEEN A LOT OF INFO ON THE INTERNET NET SAYING THAT THE TURBO HAS GONE OUT THIS IS BAD WHEN YOUR AT FREEWAY SPEEDS

PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE AT 5MPH, SUDDENLY ACCELERATED OUT OF CONTROL WENT UP A BANK NET AND HIT A TREE TRUNK. HAD TO BE TOWED TO A GM BODY SHOP. DAMAGE IS 7000.00 DOLLARS. NO INJURY TO DRIVER.

GASKET COVER, TURBO OIL FEED AND RETURN LINE.

RADIATOR, THERMOSTAT

WE HAVE A WELL MAINTAINED 2014 CHEVY CRUISE . IT'S MY DAUGHTERS CAR AND IT COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING IT ..... DANGEROUS . THERE ARE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS OUT THERE BUT NO ONE SEEMS TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT .

I HAD MY STABILITRAK AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON MY VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING DOWN A NORMAL CITY ROAD IN SUNLIGHT ON A CLEAR WARM DAY AND MY VEHICLE STARTED IDLING VERY ROUGHLY WHILE DRIVING AND I WAS RIGHT BY AUTOZONE SO THEY RAN CODES AND FOUND OUT IT SAID KNOCK SENSOR AND MISFIRE. WELL I DROVE IT HOME 5 MINS DOWN THE STREET AND PARK IT. WELL I TAKE IT TO MY MECHANIC THE FOLLOWING MORNING AND HE DOES A DIAGNOSTIC AND PISTON CHECK AND TURNS OUT MY SPARK PLUG BURNED SO BAD IT WAS BURNED AWAY WHERE THE L HOOK IS. AND FOUND OUT THAT IT BROKE IN MY COMBUSTION CHAMBER SOMEWHERE . NOW I HAVE TO GET THIS ALL FIXED AND ITS COSTING A FEW THOUSAND DOLLARS.

FOR ABOUT ONE TO TWO MONTHS NOW, MY CAR HAS BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WHEN I'M GOING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. WHEN I ACCELERATE, WITH IT SOMETIMES NOT HAVING ME TO ACCELERATE, MY CAR FEELS AS IF IT "CAN'T KEEP UP". THIS IS MORE NOTICEABLE WHEN I'M GOING UP A HILL OR ANY ELEVATION. ONE SECOND I'LL BE GOING 70 MPH AND THE NEXT THE TACHOMETER SHOOTS UP TO PAST 4 AND 5. I'M SCARED THAT IT WILL BADLY EFFECT MY ENGINE GOING THAT FAST SINCE THIS HAS NOT HAPPENED BEFORR SO I HAVE TO TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE GAS FOR IT TO SLOW DONE AND 'CATCH UP' BEFORE I CAN ACCELERATE AGAIN. I HAVE BEEN INFORMED BY A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP THIS IS DUE TO THE TURBO.

EVERYTHING ON THE DASH SHUT OFF. HEAT AND AIR SHUT OFF. SERVICE STABILITY TRACK WARNING COMES ON. ENGINE FAN RUNNING ALL THE TIME. STEERING LOCKS.

THE TURBO CHARGER IS KNOWN FOR GOING OUT. THIS CAN CAUSE LOSS OF POWER- EVEN ON HIGHWAYS. MY TURBO LOST POWER ON THE HIGHWAY, CAUSING MY SPEED TO DROP DOWN TO 50 MPH. I AM IN A LOT OF CHEVY CRUZE FORUMS AND THIS IS THE MAIN COMPLAINT. YOUR SPEED CAN BE NORMAL AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN JUST DROP DOWN TO BARELY ANYTHING. THIS COULD CAUSE SOMEONE TO REAR-END YOU.

TURBO CHARGER VERY UNRELIABLE. GOES OUT EASILY. SEVERAL COMPLAINTS IN CHEVY CRUZE FORUMS OF THEIR TURBO CHARGERS GOING OUT.

THE PAGE PREVIOUS TO THIS ONE WOULD NOT LET MY CHECK EVERY BOX (3 MAX), THE OTHER THINGS I WOULD HAVE CHECKED THAT WERE AFFECTED ARE -LIGHTING -SPEED CONTROL -STEERING -WIPER -TRACTION PICTURES SHOW THESE TWO SIGNALS THAT POP UP "SERVICE STABILITRAK" AND "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL". WHILST IM DRIVING SOME COME THINGS START TO HAPPEN; THE RADIO/ DASH STEREO WILL FLICKER ON AND OFF- ALL NOISE STOPS (ANY MUSIC OR BLINKERS), THE HEATER/ AC WIL STOP BLOWING IF IT IS ON. SOMETIMES WHEN THIS HAPPENS MY POWER STEERING WILL ALSO GO OUT, JERKING THE STEERING WHEEL WHILE IM DRIVING, AND HAPPENS ALOT WHEN IM TURNING (VERY SCARY). THE DASH WILL ALSO FLICKER WITH ABS, BRAKE, TRACTION, LIGHTS. SOME DAYS IT WILL HAPPEN VERY FREQUENTLY ,OTHER DAYS IT WILL ONLY HAPPEN A COUPLE TIMES. I AM UNCERTAIN WHAT I AM DOING THAT IS MAKING IT ACT THIS WAY. WHEN I AM AT A STOPLIGHT, OR DRIVE THRU AND THE SAME THING AS ABOVE HAPPENS MY ENGINE WILL SUDDENLY SHUT OFF WHILE MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS ACTIVATE OUT OF NO WHERE- VERY STARTLING (THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE MY GEAR SHIFT WAS IN PARK AND WHILE IM HOLDING THE BRAKE IN DRIVE). THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AND WHILE IN DIFFERENT SITUATIONS, STATIONARY, IN MOTION, CITY STREET, HIGHWAY, TURNING, GOING STRAIGHT, BRAKING, NONE OF THIS HAS HAPPENED UNTIL A FEW MONTHS AGO. SOMETIMES WHEN I START MY CAR IN THE MORNING TO WARM I COME BACK OUTSIDE AND THEN ENGINE HAD SHUT ITSELF OFF. THE TRACTION DOES NOT SEEM LIKE IT IS GRIPPING TO THE ROAD VERY WELL, WINTER HAS JUS

THE 2014 CRUZE WILL JUST TURN OFF, OR ROUGH IDLE AND THEN STOP, WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO A RED LIGHT, OR TRYING TO SLOWLY DRIVE THOUGH A LINE FOR A PICK UP WINDOW TO ORDER FOOD OR THE LIKE. THE CAR HAS A ROUGH IDLE ( FEELS LIKE CAR IS JUMPING FORWARD CHUGGING IN A ROUGH IDLE ) AND THEN SHUTS DOWN. IT ALWAYS HAPPENS WHEN CAR IS SLOWLY MOVING. ITS VERY DANGEROUS AND WHEN CARS ARE BEHIND YOU AT A LIGHT ITS VERY SCARY. IT IS HAPPENING MORE AND MORE. THE CAR ONLY DOES THIS WHEN ITS SLOWING DOWN TO STOP AT A LIGHT, OR TRYING TO MOVE THOUGH A SLOW LINE THOUGH A PICK UP WINDOW BUT THERE ARE ALWAYS CARS BEHIND YOU THAT DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT IS GOING ON AND IT IS SCARY.

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS DO FULL ROTATIONS BUT STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHIELD

IN A PARKING LOT, GOING ABOUT 5MPH, CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED OUT OF CONTROL AND WENT UP A SLOPE CRASHED INTO A TREE STUMP AND GRAZED THE BACK OF A PARKED CAR WITH NO OCCUPANTS. AIR BAGS DID NOT GO OFF AND I WAS NOT INJURED BUT FRONT HOOD DETACHED AND I HAD IT TOWED TO MY DEALERS BODY SHOP. HAPPENED YESTERDAY, CALLED POLICE BUT THEY DO NOT COME TO PRIVATE LOTS. EXCHANGED INFO WITH THE PARKED CAR OWNERS WHEN THEY RETURNED.

SOMETIMES MY CAR TURNS OFF OUT OF NO WHERE WHILE IM TURNING. SAYS SOMETHING ABOUT AIRBAGS ON THE SCREEN AND THAN TURNS OFF. WHEN IM AT A RED LIGHT THE CAR WANTS TO TURN OFF. WHEN IM DONE PUTTING GAS AND I TURN IT BACK ON IT TAKES A WHILE TO TURN BACK ON. IT HAS BEEN DOING IT BEFORE AND IT HAD STOPPED FOR A WHILE BUT ITS STARTING AGAIN. ALMOST CAUSED ME TO GET HIT WHEN IT TURNED OFF WHILE I WAS TURNING AFTER A STOP SIGN AND ABOUT TO GO ON THE HIGHWAY IT TURNS ON AFTER I KEEP TRYING AND SAYS TO OPEN THE DRIVERS WINDOW AFTER I TURN IT ON FROM IT TURNING OFF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET CRUZE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WATER PUMP LEAKED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GILL AUTO GROUP MADERA (559-474-4475, LOCATED AT 1100 S MADERA AVE, MADERA, CA 93637) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE WATER PUMP WAS CRACKED AND NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND OFFERED THE CONTACT $100. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 63,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

THE AUX SIGNAL COME ON OVER THE RADIO I CAN'T LISTEN TO THE RADIO AND EVERY NOW AND AGAIN THE ONSTAR LADY COMES ON WITHOUT ANYONE PUSHING A BUTTON I TURNED OFF THE BLUE TOOTH AS WELL. ALSO EVERY 2-3 MONTHS MY CAR BATTERY DIES WITHOUT CAUSE EVERY LIGHT IS OFF THIS OCCURS WHEN THE RADIO STARTS ACTING OUT MORE FREQUENTLY THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR AND THE DEALER COULDN'T FIGURE IT OUT EITHER SO I HAD TO BUY A BATTERY CHARGER BECAUSE I NEVER KNOW WHEN MY BATTERY WILL DIE. I EVEN CHANGED THE BATTERY THIS YEAR N STILL IT DIES WITHOUT CAUSE

DRIVER SIDE BLADE STOPPED WORKING ON HIGHWAY IN RAIN. BROKEN SWIVEL CONNECTION ON TRANSMISSION ARM AND LATER REPAIR REPLACING WHOLE UNIT($300+).

THIN, WEAK PLASTIC USED FOR GEARS ON A/C AIR DISTRIBUTOR LEVER. SEE PART #53 IN THE ATTACHED PARTSDIAGRAM.JPG FOR REFERENCE. THIS LEVER IS LOCATED INSIDE THE DASH, AND IS USED TO DIVERT AIRFLOW TO WINDSHIELD/DEFROST. COLD WEATHER CAUSES THIS PLASIC TO BREAK WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ENGAGE WINDSHIELD/DEFROST AIRFLOW. THIS MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO GET WARM OR DEHUMIDIFIED AIR TO THE WINDSHIELD, WHICH CAUSES ICE OR FOG TO BUILD UP AND RESULTS IN UNSAFELY DIMINISHED VISIBILITY. ISSUE OCCURRED WHILE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND IDLING TO ALLOW WINDSHIELD TO DEFROST. AIRFLOW WAS ADJUSTED TO BLOW TO THE WINDSHIELD, AND THE DISTRIBUTOR LEVER BROKE AS THE GEAR TEETH ENGAGED. SEE ATTACHED BROKENLEVER.JPG FOR REFERENCE. VEHICLE WAS APPROXIMATELY 3 YEARS OLD AT THE TIME OF THE BREAK. THIS PART DIRECTLY AFFECTS VISIBILITY IN COLD OR HUMID WEATHER, AND SHOULD BE MORE ROBUST CONSIDERING MUCH OF ITS FUNCTION IS TO BE USED IN COLD TEMPERATURES. IT IS A VERY COMMON POINT OF FAILURE AND MAKES THE VEHICLE UNSAFE TO OPERATE WHEN BROKEN. COST OF LABOR FOR REPLACING IS PROHIBITIVELY EXPENSIVE DUE TO ITS LOCATION INSIDE THE DASH, BEHIND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL.

WE HAVE PUT OVER 3,000 DOLLARS IN THIS CAR AND ONLY HAD IT A YEAR AND HALF. EVERY TIME WE FIX A PROBLEM SOMEONE ELSE IMMEDIATELY GOES WRONG. WE ARE CURRENTLY ON THE 3RD TURBO, REPLACED COILPACK FOR A MISFIRE, REPLACED PLUGS, PVC VALVE AND COVER, DIFFERENT HOES TO THE ENGINE, SENSORS. IT HAS 110,000 MILES ON IT. ITS MY DAILY DRIVE TO WORK AND ITS BEEN BROKE DOWN HALF THE TIME IVE OWNED IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET CRUZE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO HAVE NEW TIRES INSTALLED. THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT THE TWO FRONTAL TIE RODS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, ALONG WITH THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. THE TIE RODS WERE REPLACED, BUT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS NOT REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 115,000.

THE CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN FROM ONE STATE TO THE NEXT. IT WAS A TWO IN A HALF HOUR DRIVE. NOT EVEN A HOUR INTO IT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE WE MADE SURE TO CHECK EVERYTHING BEFORE WE LEFT HOME. IT WAS FINE. THAN THE AUTO START WOULDN'T WORK. ALLIED ON START AND THEY SAID YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO. BUT I CAN'T. THAN IT STARTED MAKING THIS WEIRD SOUND WHENEVER I DRIVE. I WENT TO AUTOZONE AND THEY SAID THERE'S NOTHING CAUGHT IN IT, IT'S THE ENGINE. NOW WHENEVER I DRIVE AND WAIT AT A RED LIGHT THE CAR STARTS SHAKING A LOT. IT'S RAINING NOW AND I'M SCARED I MY LOSS CONTROL.

THE ENGINE KEEPS OVERHEATING EVEN AFTER REPLACING MULTIPLE DIFFERENT PARTS NOW THE ENGINE WILL NOT START.

NOX POSITION 1 SENSOR WENT BAD. IT WAS RECALLED ON OTHER CHEVY CRUZE DIESEL VINS BUT MINE WAS NOT RECALLED AND IT WENT BAD I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A NOX SENSOR BUT THAT IT WAS NOT RECALLED ON MY VIN SO IT WAS NOT COVERED

THE RADIO FREEZES UP WHILE I AM DRIVING. NONE OF THE RADIO BUTTONS FUNCTION. I CANNOT TURN THE RADIO OFF, CHANGE CHANNEL, ADJUST VOLUME, ETC. I JUST HAD THE SPECIAL COVERAGE REPAIR DONE FOR THE WATER INTRUSION ON THE SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM. THE RADIO WORKED PERFECTLY FINE BEFORE THE SPECIAL COVERAGE WORK WAS PERFORMED. I WENT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY INDICATED THAT IT IS NOT RELATED TO THE WATER INTRUSION AND IT WOULD BE $120 JUST TO CONNECT THE COMPUTER TO THE CAR. HE TOLD ME IF IT IS THE RADIO, YOU WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR IT OUT OF POCKET. I SAW A NEW SPECIAL COVERAGE BULLETIN ABOUT THE NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE CLAMP NOT BEING ABLE TO REMAIN TIGHT TO THE BATTERY TERMINAL ON THE INTERNET. I NEED TO KNOW IF IT APPLIES TO MY 2014 CHEVY CRUZE BECAUSE I DID NOT RECEIVE ANY INFORMATION BY MAIL ON THIS. THANK YOU .

IT STARTS ON ITS OWN

WHEN THE CAR IS IN THE PARK POSITION AND THE KEY IS IN THE IGNITION SWITCH IN THE OFF POSITION, THE ENGINE WILL RANDOMLY BEGIN TO START. SOMETIMES, IF THE KEY IS NOT IN THE IGNITION SWITCH AND TOUCHES THE OPENING OF THE IGNITION SWITCH THE CAR ENGINE WILL BEGIN TO START. I THINK IT'S A FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH.

WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY EXITING THE OFFRAMP THAT CURVES TO THE RIGHT. WHEN I TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL IT LOCKED UP AND THE STEREO TURNED OFF. I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE DIRECTION MY VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING. I APPLIED MY BRAKE, TO KEEP FROM HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE. WHEN I PRESSED MY BRAKE THE STEERING WHEEL UNLOCKED BRIEFLY THEN LOCKED AGAIN. THEN A YELLOW ⚠️ WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND MY CAR BEGAN TO PULL TO THE RIGHT. THE STEREO POWERED ON AND THE STEERING WHEEL RETURNED TO NORMAL. THE YELLOW WARNING ⚠️ LIGHT TURNED OFF. I CONTINUED TO TRAVEL ANOTHER 1.5-2 MILES MORE TO MY HOME AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS TIME A GREEN DASH LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND SAID SERVICE POWER STEERING. I PARKED MY CAR AT THAT POINT. I AM CONTACTING THE DEALERSHIP TO MAKE ARRANGEMENTS FOR REPAIR. THE REASON WHY I AM FILING A COMPLAINT IS BECAUSE OF THE DANGER ASSOCIATED WITH THIS TYPE OF MALFUNCTION. IT PUT MY LIFE AND OTHER DRIVERS LIFE IS AT STAKE. THIS IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE WAY FOR A VEHICLE TO FUNCTION. THIS IS NOT THE ONLY TIME I'VE HAD AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE. IN OCTOBER 2018 AFTER DRIVING TO MAMMOTH CALIFORNIA MY VEHICLE COMPLETELY TURNED OFF WHILE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY. SOMETHING SIMILAR TO A STALL OUT.

WHILE THE CAR IS IN PARK AND NO ONE IN THE CAR AND THE KEY IN THE IGNITION BUT THE KEY IN THE OFF POSITION THE CAR CONTINUALLY TRIES TO START BY ITSELF. THE CAR IS NOT EQUIPPED WITH A REMOTE START.

STABILTRAK WARNING COMES ON AND MAKES CAR RUN HORRIBLE. HAD TO REPLACE TURBO TWICE NOW ONLY HAS 109,000 MILES. AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON. THE CAR HAS ALWAYS TICKED BAD. CAR ALMOST CAUGHT FIRE FROM A SENSOR. IT MELTED IT IN HALF.

I HAVE A 2014 CHEVY CRUZE (1.4L TURBO). I TURN MY CAR OFF AND IT DOESNT MATTER IF I REMOVE THE KEY OR NOT MY CAR WILL TRY TO START ITSELF. WHEN THIS STARTED MY CAR STARTED RUNNING REALLY BAD. IT IDLES IRREGULAR AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS CAME ON GIVING ME CODES FOR THINGS LIKE FUEL INJECTORS AND 02 CENSORED AND MAP CENSORS ALSO THE MASS AIRFLOW SENSOR. I HAVE REPLACED ALL OF THESE ALONG WITH A CLEAN AIR FILTER AND THE IDLE TENSION PULLEY IT STARTED SQUEAKING. THIS FIXED NONE OF THE ISSUES. CODES ARE STILL COMING UP FOR PARTS THAT'S REPLACED. I'M PAYING ON A VEHICLE THAT'S NOT SAFE TO DRIVE.

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD RANDOMLY STICK HALF WAY UP THE WINDSHIELD WHEN TURNED ON, AND ALSO HAPPEN AS SOON AS I WOULD TURN THE CAR ON. WAS DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING IN THE RAIN BECAUSE I COULD NOT SEE WHERE I WAS GOING AND HAD TO PULL OVER MULTIPLE TIMES TO CLEAR THE WINDSHIELD.

WHEN I TURNED OFF MY CAR AND THE KEYS WERE IN THE IGNITION MY CAR TRIED TO START ITSELF...IT NOW DOES IT FREQUENTLY

WHEN I PARK MY CAR AND IF I LEAVE THE KEYS IN THE IGNITION IT STARTS ITSELF I CANT GET A VIDEO I TRIED BUT I NEVER KNOW WHEN ITS GONNA DO IT IT STARTED ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO AND NOW IT'S DOING IT ALOT MORE

CAT WAS SPUTTERING AND STALLING AFTER I HAD THE OIL CHANGED AND AIR FILTERS CHECKED. I GOT IT DIAGNOSED AND THE CODES GIVEN WERE P1101 P0299 P0171 P0106 I WAS COMING TO A STOP AT THE LIGHT WHEN I NOTICED SOME SQUEALING OR WHIRRING UNDER THE HOOD. I OPENED THE HOOD AND THE ENGINE IS LIKE ... MOVING

WHEN IDLING THE VEHICLE WILL HAVE SMALL FLUCTUATIONS IN RPM THAT MAKE THE CAR FEEL LIKE IT WILL STALL. WHILE DRIVING THE WARNING SIGNS OF "SERVICE STABILI TRAK" AND "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL" AS WELL AS THE ENGINE LIGHT COME ONTO THE DISPLAY ON THE DASH. "BATTERY SAVER MODE" HAS ALSO APPEARED BEFORE. ONCE ALL OF THE CAR LIGHTS AS WELL AS THE RADIO AND OTHER ELECTRONIC PORTIONS OF THE VEHICLE ALL SHUT OFF WHEN THIS HAPPENED INCLUDING POWER STEERING ABILITY. HAVE HAD THE ALTERNATOR AS WELL AS THE ENGINE REPLACED AT MENIKIEE AND THE ISSUE IS STILL PERSISTING.

MY 2014 CRUZE HAS A TURBO IN IT TO MAKE IT "ECO" - I.E., RELY ON TURBO FOR BOOST WHEN MORE POWER IS NEEDED RATHER THAN USING MORE GAS. MY CRUZE ENTERED "LIMP MODE" IN JULY WITH 54,000 MILES ON IT. THE TURBO FAILED TO WORK WHILE MERGING ONTO THE FREEWAY AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. IT WAS SHIFTING INTO 4TH GEAR WITH HIGH RPM TO KEEP FREEWAY SPEED. WHEN DIAG BOX WAS LATER PLUGGED IN, THE CODE CAME BACK AS "P0299" - TURBO UNDERBOOST. I ATTEMPTED TO REPLACE THE SENSOR (CODE CAME BACK) AND SOLENOID (CODE BACK AGAIN) AS THEY CAME UP OFTEN IN RESEARCH WHEN LOOKING FOR A SOLUTION. TURBO WORKED FINE FOR A MONTH AND THEN QUIT AGAIN WITH THE SAME CODE AND MY CAR IN LIMP MODE AGAIN. I FILED A COMPLAINT THROUGH GM AND THEY MANAGED TO GET THE PART THAT WAS BACKORDERED INDEFINITELY DUE TO FACTORY WORKERS BEING ON STRIKE. APPARENTLY, GM CUT THEIR HEALTHCARE OVERNIGHT. I'D STRIKE TOO. THE SERVICE PRINTOUT I RECEIVED AFTER REPLACEMENT STATED THAT THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TURBO: "INSPECTED FOR OIL INTRUSION, NONE FOUND WASTEGATE SOLENOID CONNECTOR MISSING RETAINER - DOES NOT AFFECT FUNCTION. BYPASS VALVE OPENS AND CLOSES WHEN COMMANDED. NO AIR INDUCTION RESTRICTION FOUND. RECOMMEND TURBO FOR FAILED BOOST COTROL TEST" THIS SOUNDS TO ME LIKE A FAULTY PART, AND AN EXPENSIVE ONE AT $1,501.86, THAT I PAID FOR BUT DID NOT BREAK. NOT TO MENTION THE SENSOR AND SOLENOID REPLACED PRIOR. MY CAR IS "FIXED", AND RUNS, BUT THIS IS STILL AN ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE IN GENERAL, AND THE TURBO SHO

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET CRUZE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT DRIVE WHILE IN THE REVERSE POSITION AND THE VEHICLE JERKED AND VIBRATED WHEN SWITCHING GEARS. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO QUINCY CHEVROLET (2039 WEST JEFFERSON ST, QUINCY, FL), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 9-5538517686. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 22,000.

FOR A FEW WEEKS NOW, I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE RADIO AND DASH LIGHTS WILL SUDDENLY CUT OFF, AND THEN COME BACK ON. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE INSPECTED BUT NO ISSUE WAS FOUND. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO NARROW DOWN WHAT TRIGGERS THE ISSUE TO OCCUR, IT WILL HAPPEN AT RANDOM TIMES. THERE IS NO WAY TO REPLICATE THE EVENT WITHOUT JUST BEING IN THE CAR WHEN IT HAPPENS. JUST IN THE LAST 30 MINUTES IT OCCURRED: 1. WHILE ACCELERATING TO 40 MPH; 2. WHILE BREAKING TO COME TO A STOP SIGN; 3. MAINTAINING CONTINUOUS SPEED AT 30 MPH; 4. WHILE STATIONARY, ROLLING UP MY POWER WINDOW; 5. AND, WHILE STATIONARY, FOOT ON BREAK PLACING THE VEHICLE IN PARK. THE RANDOMNESS OF THESE OCCURRENCES AND THE FACT THAT THERE ARE NO SENOR WARNINGS/CODES TO NOTIFY THE DEALERSHIP CONCERNS ME. DEPENDING ON THE TYPE OF COMMUTE, A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION COULD OCCUR WITHOUT WARNING TO THE VEHICLE OPERATOR.

MY CHEVY CRUZE IS VERY UNSAFE. WHILE DRIVING, THE STEREO BEGINS TO SHUT ON AND OFF AND THE DISPLAY STARTS DISPLAYING VARIOUS WARNINGS SUCH AS "SERVICE STABILITRACK". OVER 5 TIMES NOW, WHEN I BEGIN A TURN FROM BEING IDLE, THE SAME OCCURS BUT WITH THE ADDED PROBLEM OF THE WHEEL LOCKING UP AND NOT LETTING ME TURN IT. I HAVE HAD TO STOP ALMOST COMPLETELY WHILE TURNING TO AVOID HITTING SOMETHING HEAD ON WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL GETS LOCKED. PLEASE PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM.

WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START MY VEHICLE IT WILL NOT TURN OVER. THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHES ON AND OFF. THE DISPLAY THEN READS SERVICE THEFT DETERRENT SYSTEM. SERVICE TIRE MONITORING AND WILL THEN COMPLETELY LOCK UP. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME ROUGHLY 4 TIMES IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS. THE ONLY WAY TO GET THE CAR TO START IS WITH A JUMP. THE BATTERY, STARTER AND ALTERNATOR ARE ALL GOOD AND ARE NOT CAUSING THE ISSUE.

SOMETIMES WHILE DRIVING, IF YOU HIT THE BRAKE OR HIT THE WINDOW SWITCH, THE POWER TO THE RADIO PANEL AND DRIVERS DISPLAY WILL CUT OFF, SOMETIMES THE "SERVICE STABILITRAC" SIGNAL WILL COME UP AND THE POWER WILL COME BACK ON AFTER A FEW SECONDS, WHEN THIS HAPPENS IT WILL ALSO CUT POWER TO THE POWER STEERING, IF YOU ARE NOT PREPARED FOR IT OR YOUR NOT AWARE OF THE SITUATION IT CAN SURPRISE YOU, IT CAN BE ESPECIALLY STARTLING WHILE TURNING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN POWER CUTS OUT AND YOU HAVE TROUBLE STEERING, THE CAR WILL STAY RUNNING AND THE POWER WILL CUT FOR A FEW SECONDS, AND THEN EVERYTHING WILL GO BACK TO NORMAL. LOOKING ONLINE THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE EARLIER CHEVY CRUZ. I AM JUST NOT SURE OF THE FULL EXTENT OF THE ISSUE.

ALL THE SUB-SYSTEMS ON THE 2014 CHEVY CRUZE ARE CONTROLLED THROUGH THE RADIO SYSTEM. WHEN BACKING UP, THE BACKUP CAMERA, WHICH IS DISPLAYED THROUGH THE RADIO ENTERTAINMENT SCREEN, DOES NOT ENGAGE. SEVERAL OF THE OTHER SUB-SYSTEMS, INCLUDING THE AC, THE RADIO ITSELF, AND OTHER SYSTEMS ARE ALSO INTERMITTENT WHILE DRIVING THE CAR. IN ORDER TO RESET THE SYSTEM THE CAR HAS HAD TO BE PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNED OFF COMPLETELY, LET SIT FOR SEVERAL MINUTES, AND THE RESTARTED. AFTER DOING SO THE SYSTEM HAS RESET, BUT HAS DONE THE SAME THING DAYS OR WEEKS LATER. AFTER BRINGING THE CAR IN TO THE DEALER OVER FOUR TIME THE PROBLEMS HAVE YET TO BE RESOLVED.

UPON LEAVING A STORE THE CAR BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN AS THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL BEGAN TO WOBBLE. I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT, STOPPED THEN REVERSED SLOWLY THEN PULLED FORWARD SLOWLY WHEN A PATRON EXITING THE STORE SAID STOP. ONCE I EXITED MY CAR I NOTICED THE PASSENGER FRONT WHEEL SEEMED DISLOCATED FROM THE VEHICLE. THEN TRANSMISSION FLUID BEGIN TO LEAK FROM THE UNDER THE CAR OF THE DISLOCATED WHEEL. IN THE PICTURES THE CAR IS PARKED STRAIGHT BUT FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL IS TURNED OUTWARD.

I WAS DRIVING ON 65 S AND I LOST ALL POWER TO MY CAR, MY CAR IS HAVING A HARD TIME STARTING. WENT TO HAVE MY STARTER TESTED AND WASNT THAT, IT'S MY BATTERY AND THE CABLES. CAR IS UNSAFE TO BE DRIVING AND ALL CRUZE SHOULD HAVE A RECALL ON THEM. MY BATTERY LIGHT WILL COME ON THEN A MESSAGE WILL POP US SAYING POWER STEERING
