  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.

• 12/30/2014· STEERING

  WHEN TRAVELING DOWN THE INTERSTATE ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS THE STEERING COLUMN BECOMES 'STUCK' OR 'STICKY' IN THE ASPECT THAT IT REQUIRES EXTRA EXERTION OF FORCE TO MOVE IT IN EITHER DIRECTIONS. THIS RESULTS IN THE CAR SWERVING AND ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION ALMOST WRECKING. *JS

• 12/29/2014· AIR BAGSCrash

  MY 2014 CHEVY CRUZE ECO WAS HIT IN THE RIGHT REAR OF MY VEHICLE BY A 2015 CHRYSLER THAT WAS GOING APPROXIMATELY 40-45MPH. MY VEHICLE WAS GOING AROUND 20MPH. ONCE HIT IN THE REAR I WAS FLUNG FORWARD AND TO THE LEFT, CAUSING ME TO HIT MY HEAD ON THE LEFT A-PILLAR AND MOMENTARILY BLACKING OUT AND THEN WENT FORWARD MORE JUST STOPPING BEFORE HITTING MY HEAD ON THE STEERING WHEEL. THEN I HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. NO AIRBAGS WERE DEPLOYED, NOT A SINGLE ONE. THE ONSTAR SYSTEM SAID THEY DETECTED AN AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT BUT NOTHING EXTERNALLY DEPLOYED IN VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THAT IF AIRBAGS ACTUALLY DEPLOYED IT COULD HAVE LESSENED OR STOPPED MY CONCUSSION I RECEIVED FROM MY ACCIDENT. *TR

• 12/28/2017· POWER TRAIN,ENGINE

  I HAVE HAVE TO HAVE A PCV VALUE COVER/INTAKE MANIFOLD REPLACED IN MY CAR 3 TIMES. MY CAR IS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BUT THAT WARRANTY WILL EXPIRE. I WILL HAVE TO HAVE IS REPLACED AGAIN AT SOME AND IT SEEMS THAT NO ONE IS ASKING WHY THIS PART HAS TO BE REPLACED SO FREQUENTLY IN A CAR THAT IS LESS THAN 5 YEAR OLD. THERE IS A CODE THAT APPEARS BUT IT IS MONTHS AFTER THE CAR STARTS TO SURGE WHEN YOU TURN IT ON AND FEEL LIKE IT IS GOING TO CUT OUT WHEN IDLING. I LIVE IN THE CITY AND CANNOT HESITATE TO DRIVE WHEN THE LIGHT TURNS AS IT MAY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

  3RD TIME SINCE PURCHASING IN MARCH 2014 THAT HEATER AND OR AIR CONDITIONING HAS STOPPED WORKING. WAS TOLD FIRST 2 TIMES THAT IT WAS THE MOTOR AND SENSOR, THOSE WERE REPLACED NOW WHILE MAKING YET ANOTHER ROAD TRIP 4 HOURS FROM OUR HOME WITH OUR CHILD THE HEAT WENT OUT. HEATER WILL NOT BLOW WARM AIR OR ANY AIR FOR THAT MATTER AND DEFROSTED WILL NOT WORK RESULTING IN US STOPPING EVERY FEW MILES TO MANUALLY WIPE THE WINDSHIELD DOWN. *TR

  THE CAR IS A 2014 CHEVROLET CRUZE LT THAT WAS JUST PURCHASED FROM A USED CAR DEALER AND WITHIN THE FIRST WEEK THE ENGINE RETARDS ITSELF AND THROWS A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THE CODE READS P0325 WHEN READ. THE WIRING HAS BEEN CHECKED OUT AND HAS NOTHING WRONG. THE KNOCK SENSOR HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE. AFTER BEING REPLACED, THE CODE WILL GO AWAY ANYWHERE FROM A FEW MINUTES TO A MONTH AND THEN THE SAME ISSUE STARTS ALL OVER AGAIN.

• 12/25/2020· POWER TRAIN,ENGINE

  FAULTY TURBOCHARGER, MULTIPLE OWNERS THAT I SPOKE TO HAVE REPLACED THEIR TURBOCHARGER TWICE ONLY TO KNOW THAT IT KEEPS FAILING. THE TURBOCHARGER RUINED MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER WHICH HAD TO BE REPLACE DU TO A CRACK IN THE TURBOCHARGER.

• 12/25/2018· POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE

  PROBLEM NO.1, MY CRUZE HAS LOST POWER, THE HEATER PUTS OUT COLD AIR, THE RADIATOR IS LOSING FLUID, THE ENGINE HAS STARTED TO OVER HEAT, AND THERE IS WET SPOT UNDER THE EXHAUST PIPE WHEN I IDLE THE ENGINE! THAT MEANS MY CAR HAS ETHER A BLOWEN HEAD GASKET OR CRACKED HEAD! THE CAR HAS LESS THEN 85,000 MILES AND IF THE HEAD IS CRACKED, I THINK I KNOW WHY BECAUSE GM DECKED THE BLOCK THE SHORT-WAY CENTER OUT TO THE ENDS! WITCH CAN LEAVE A VALLEY IN THE CENTER OF THE BLOCK! THEY MADE THE SAME MISTAKE WITH THE GRAND AM QUAD-4! THE HEAD ALL CRACKED BETWEEN CYLINDERS 2 AND 3 BECAUSE THE BLOCK WASN'T DECKED SQUARE! I HAVE TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER ON SAT 12/29/18 WISH SOMEONE WOULD CHECK THE BLOCK, I KNOW THE DEALER WILL TRY TO BLAME MY AND TO MAKE ME PAY FOR SOME OR ALL OF IT, EVEN THOUGH IT IS SILL UNDER WARRANTY! PROBLEM NO.2, I PURCHASED A NEW CHEVY CRUZE ECO WITH A MANUAL TRANSMISSION 4 YEARS AGO, I GOT IT BECAUSE I WANTED A HIGH MPG CAR AND I HAVE BEEN DRIVING STANDARD TRANSMISSION SINCE I STARTED DRIVING AND I KNEW I COULD BETTER MILEAGE THEN RATED (65.5 MPG MY BEST SCORE!), BUT THE SHIFTER HAS TO MUCH SLOP IN IT, I HAD A CUTLASS WITH A HURST SHIFTER THAT WAS 16 INCHES TALL AND USED THAT HAD LESS SLOP! I HAVE COMPLAINED TO DEALER ABOUT IT SINCE THE DAY I GOT CAR! THREE TIMES I HAVE PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN BOTH FIRST AND THIRD GEAR AT THE SAME TIME! I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MANY TIME I HAVE MISSED THE SHIFT WHILE STILL HOLDING ALL THE WAY IN POSITION! IF I AM IN A HURRY I CAN'T FIND THE GEAR AT ALL! PROBLEM NO.3, THE HYDRAULIC THROW-OUT BEARING IS SLUSHY AND SLOW. BECAUSE THE MASTER-CYLINDER AND FEED-LINE IS TO SMALL! I AM A FAST SHIFTER, AND I CAN OUT SHIFT THE CLUTCH! THAT IS BAD BECAUSE THE PRESSURE PLATE DOESN'T CLOSE FAST ENOUGH IT CAUSES EXCESS WARE AND BURNING OF THE CLUTCH!

  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.

  THE VEHICLE'S RADIO FLASHES ON AND OFF AND A 'SERVICE STABILITRAK' WARNING COMES ON THE ODOMETER SCREEN. I HAVE READ THIS CAUSES SERIOUS ISSUES WITH OTHERS THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND THERE IS NO KNOWN FIX.

• 12/20/2017· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,EXTERIOR LIGHTING,AIR BAGS

  A WARNING LIGHT CAME ON FOR THE AIRBAG RANDOMLY. IT EVOLVED TO THE FOLLOWING ISSUES: RADIO CONTROL PANEL GOING OUT WITH NO VOLUME CONTROL BESIDES THE STEERING WHEEL, STATIC ON THE RADIO, A WARNING THAT PARK ASSIST NEEDED TO BE SERVICED (VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE PARK ASSIST), HEADLIGHTS WOULD NOT TURN OFF UPON THE VEHICLE BEING TURNED OFF. THE "SOLUTION" AS THERE WERE SO MANY ERRORS THAT RANDOMLY STARTED POPPING UP (MIND YOU, MY CAR WAS SERVICED LESS THAN A MONTH AGO) IS A $1500 CHANGE OF A SENSOR OR UNPLUG THE BACKUP CAMERA PERMANENTLY. THIS CLEARLY IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT, AS WHY ALL OF A SUDDEN WOULD THE CAR SUDDENLY THINK I HAVE FEATURES THAT I DON'T EVEN HAVE ON THE CAR.

• 12/20/2013· STEERING

  WHILE DRIVING AT HWY SPEEDS THE STEERING WILL APPEAR TO STICK OR NOT RESPOND. IT FEELS AS IF THERE IS NO RESPONSE FROM THE MINOR INPUT FROM THE STEERING WHEEL. THEN YOU PUT A LITTLE MORE INPUT IN THE WHEEL AND THE CAR APPEARS TO CATCH UP TO THE COMMAND GIVING IT MINOR SWERVING FEELING. IT SEEMS TO BE QUITE COMMON WITH CRUZES. I HAVE FOUND OVER 100 COMPLAINTS ON ONE FORUM ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THE POSSIBLE UNSAFE CONDITION. *TR

  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.

• 12/13/2020· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

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

• 12/10/2025· ELECTRICAL SYSTEMFire

  I remote started my car using the factory installed remote starter, and approximately 5 minutes later I heard my car alarm start going off, so I went to investigate and when I opened the drivers side door, my car was filled with smoke and flames were coming up from the front passenger footwell, underneath the dash where the HVAC blower motor is located. I closed the drivers door and rushed inside to grab a fire extinguisher, but within those 10 seconds I was away, the fire has more than tripled in size. So when I opened the passenger door to use the extinguisher, the fire had grown out of control. With the fire put out, I started looking around and noticed that the engine bay for the car still has rubber hoses and pieces of plastic that are fully intact and haven't been burned, yet the interior of the car is completely gone. I have reason to believe the blower motor was the source of the fire. After talking to a few others that own the same car as me, some have said they've been noticing a burning smell and minor traces of smoke coming from that same area

TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE I'VE SEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS ONLINE AND I THINK THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL BECAUSE IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD TO NOT HAVE THE DRIVER SIDE WIPER BLADE OPERATIONAL. THE CAR WAS STATIONARY. BUT IT WAS A RAINY DAY AND I HAD TO DRIVE TO WORK WITH NO WIPERS. BY THE GRACE OF GOD MY WORK IS LITERALLY THREE MINUTES FROM HOME. AND MY SON IS A MECHANIC AT A CHEVY DEALERSHIP SO I WAS ABLE TO HAVE THE PROBLEM FIXED IN A FEW DAYS. BUT I'M SURE THERE ARE QUITE A FEW PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT SO LUCKY THAT ARE STUCK WITH THIS PROBLEM.

  The car suddenly lacked power and was making a strange noise. The oil level suddenly dropped. Then the engine light came on. We took the car to the dealer. And a few days later we received a letter from Chevrolet about extending the warranty on the PCV valve due to failure. We contacted our personal service person who confirmed that was inline with the PCV failure. We then took it to the Chevrolet dealer who said it would cost 9k to repair despite it being a known issue. This could have resulted in an accident if we had not caught it.
