2011 CHEVROLET CRUZE Vehicle Speed Control Problems

As I was on the highway, I was unable to pick up speed without feeling resistance! After awhile I couldn’t go past 25 mph and my car eventually gave out before I made it home. I had to call a tow to have them tow me to my park lot! A couple days went by and my car was able to drive through the parking and park in different spots. I am not sure what the problem may be but I just bought this car and it has been causing unsafe issues for about a year now! Please help!

The car cuts out and jerks (has no power) (no warning lights) when accelerating or staying at a steady speed with engine light coming on or flashing. I've reported to dealership. So far, Don't know the cause of problem.

MANY OCCURRENCES OF PUSHING THE ACCELERATOR, AND THE CAR HAVING A DELAYED REACTION TO ACCELERATE. THIS HAS ALMOST CAUSED COLLISIONS WITH OTHER VEHICLES WHEN COMING FROM A STOP IN A PARKING LOT ONTO A MAIN ROAD.

Mileage: 80,000

WHEN ACCELERATING THE CAR IT TAKES A MOMENT TO ACTUALLY GO WHICH HAS LEFT ME SITTING IN INTERSECTIONS ETC. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM SINCE IT IS A WIRE RELAY NOT A CABLE RELAY SO IT CAUSES A DELAY IN SENDING THE MESSAGE TO THE MOTOR.

CRUZE CONTROL FAILS TO REMAIN SET AND TURNS OFF ON IT'S OWN RESULTING IN REDUCTION OF SPEED WHEN TRAVELING. REAR SEAT BELT BUCKLES BECOME NON-FUNCTIONAL AND WON'T FASTEN, POSING A SAFETY HAZARD AND MAKING THE REAR SEATS UNUSABLE FOR PASSENGERS.

Mileage: 135,000

THE CRUZE SPUTTERS OR HESITATES WHEN BRAKED OR IDLING, THE SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, SERVICES STABILITRAK CAME ON ALONG WITH A FLASHING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I LOOSE POWER AND FEEL LIKE I'M NEEDING TO PRESS A LOT HARDER ON THE GAS TO ACCELERATE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET CRUZE. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, WHEN THE CONTACT RELEASED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE STOPPED ABRUPTLY. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DAVID STANLEY CHEVROLET (LOCATED AT 614 W INTERSTATE 240 SERVICE RD, OKLAHOMA CITY, OK 73139, (405) 632-3600), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 43,163. *TR*JB

ON OCTOBER 19,2018 MY IN LAWS WERE TRAVELING NORTH ON ROUTE 61 IN PENNSYLVANIA. THEY CAN TO A RED LIGHT AND RAN INTO THE BACK OF A MINIVAN AND THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THEN WE DONT KNOW WHAT HAPPENED, BUT THE CAR ACCELERATED AND WENT THE LENGTH OF A FOOTBALL FIELD AND THEY HIT A POLE AND MY MOTHER IN LAW DIED INSTANTLY AND MY FATHER IN LAW DIED AT 5:10 AM.MY CONCERN IS WHY ISN'T IT AN INDUSTRY STANDARD THAT ONCE THE AIRBAGS ARE DEPLOYED THE THROTTLE DOESN'T SHUT DOWN. IF THE THROTTLE WOULD HAVE NOT WORKED THEY WAY STILL BE ALIVE.IF YOU CANT HELP ME COULD YOU SEND ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.

VEHICLE HAS A VERY ROUGH IDLE WHILE STOPPED AND WHILE DRIVING. WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE WILL CHANGE ROUGHLY IDLE AND SPEED UP THE VEHICLE. WHILE IN A STOPPING POSITION THE VEHICLE WILL ROUGHLY IDLE AND THE RPM INDICATOR WILL BOUNCE UP AND DOWN. THE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND THE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING AND SERVICE ESP WARNINGS COME ON INTERMITTENTLY WHILE IN STOPPED POSITION AND THEN THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY. THE MOST RECENT ONE REVVED AND ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN, ALMOST HITTING THE CAR AT THE STOPLIGHT IN FRONT OF ME.

VEHICLE WAS ON HIGHWAY GOING TO LEXINGTON KY FROM LOUISVILLE KY. CAR BEGIN TO SMOKE. HOSE THAT WAS SUPPOSEDLY FIXED ON RADIATOR WAS RIGGED AND OIL SPILLED FROM THE HOSE CAUSING IT TO GO INTO ENGINE. ENGINE OVERHEATED WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. ENGINE DIED. HAD TO GET CAR TOWED FROM ONE CITY TO THE NEXT. GOT STRANDED IN ANOTHER TOWN BECAUSE COULD NOT OBTAIN A RENTAL CAR BECAUSE THEY WERE CLOSED. SINCE 2016 I HAVE SPENT OVER $7000 ON GETTING THE SAME ISSUES OR RELATED ISSUES FIXED. I HAVE SPENT OVER $5000 IN RENTAL CARS AND I STILL OWE $9000 ON MY CAR WHICH I PURCHASED FROM BALES AUTOMALL/BACHMAN IN JEFFERSONVILLE INDIANA IN 2014 WITH ON 28,000 MILES. I HAVE KEPT MY SERVICES UP TO DATE ON THE VEHICLE AND HAVE DOCUMENTATION FOR THAT. IT SEEMS ONCE I BEGIN TO GET OIL CHANGES AT THIS LOCATION MY CAR BEGIN TO DECLINE. I WOULD BE TOLD THAT I HAD ONE PROBLEM, THEY WOULD FIX IT, AND THEN SOMETHING ELSE WOULD HAPPEN. IN ADDITION, I HAVE A WITNESS WHO IS A FAMILY MEMBER WHO IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THE SAME YEAR AND MODEL CAR THAT SHE OWNS. I SEE HER GOING THROUGH THE SAME DOWN SPIRAL STEPS WITH HER CAR AS I DID. IT IS ALMOST LIKE CLOCKWORK. I HAVE READ CONSUMER REPORTS ABOUT THESE VEHICLES AND NONE HAVE BEEN POSITIVE. IN FACT, MANY WHO HAVE A TURBO ENGINE WILL OR HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SAME ISSUE. THE CAR IS A LEMON... IT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED!! IT IS UNFAIR THAT I PURCHASED A CAR THAT WAS NO GOOD AND THAT ONLY RAN GOOD FOR TWO YEARS BEFORE HAVING TO REPLACE THE TURBO TWICE AND THE ENGINE. LET ME REITERATE.. I STILL OWE $9000 ON THIS CAR. AT THIS POINT I AM CLUELESS AND I FEEL AS IF I WAS TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF. WHEN I REPORTED THIS TO THE BBB;GMC AND OTHER SOURCES THEY LED ME ON FOR WEEKS KNOWING THAT THEY WOULD NOT ASSIST IN THE MATTER. BECAUSE OF THIS WHOLE FIASCO I HAVE ANXIETY IN WHICH I AM TAKING MEDICATION. PLEASE HELP DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO

CAR DOES NOT PROPERLY ACCELERATE, SO MUCH SO THAT I NEED TO USE THE HAZARD LIGHTS TO AVOID BEING HIT BY THE CAR BEHIND ME WHEN ACCELERATING AFTER STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT. THIS IS NOT SAFE. I HAVE SMALL CHILDREN. I DROVE 40+ MILES (CITY MILES) AND HAD NO ISSUES GETTING THERE, BUT THEN WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO TURN THE CAR ON AGAIN TO RETURN HOME, THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE SHOWED THE ENGINE GO FROM COLD TO HOT VERY QUICKLY, DISPLAYED THE MESSAGE "ENGINE HOT A/C OFF" AND IT STARTED MAKING A LOUD SQUEALING NOISE. AT THIS POINT I SWERVED THE CAR OFF THE ROAD BECAUSE MY DAUGHTER AND I FEARED FOR OUR SAFETY AND THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO EXPLODE. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK, WE BOTH OPENED OUR DOORS AND TOOK OFF RUNNING FROM THE CAR UNTIL WE REACHED A SAFE DISTANCE. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED 40+ MILES TO MY HOME. THE MECHANIC CHECKED THE VEHICLE AGAIN AND FOUND THAT THE RADIATOR HAD CRACKED AND THAT THE WATER PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. HE REPLACED THE RADIATOR AND ALSO THE WATER PUMP, AND ENSURED THE PROPER AMOUNTS OF ALL FLUIDS. ALSO, WHENEVER I ATTEMPT TO DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY, THE FRONT END OF THE CAR GETS VERY HOT AND THE "TRANSMISSION HOT IDLE ENGINE" MESSAGE COMES ON AND THE AC, WHICH WAS WORKING FINE, DOES NOT WORK NOW. STILL, THE MECHANIC COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION! THE HEAT FROM THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION COME STRAIGHT THROUGH THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE, WHICH WITH NO AC GETS SUPER HOT IN ADDITION TO THE 80+ DEGREE WEATHER IN CENTRAL FLORIDA (AND IT'S NOT EVEN SUMMER YET!). EVERY TIME I HAVE TO HAVE TRIED TO REFUEL THE CAR WITHIN THE PAST 2 WEEKS OF ME HAVING PURCHASED IT, THE ENGINE STALLS AND STALLS AND STALLS. IT TAKES 10-15 TRIES TO TURN THE CAR BACK ON EVERY TIME I REFUEL. IN ADDITION TO THIS, ONCE YOU ACTUALLY GET THE CAR BACK ON THE CAR JERKS WHEN PUT IN DRIVE. I HAVE TO KEEP MY FOOT ON THE GAS OR THE CAR WILL SHUT BACK OFF.

SET UP THE AIRBAG AND THE CAR MILEAGE DOES LOOK

I PURCHASED A CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED CAR ON JAN. 2015. SINCE MID-2016 (ONE AND A HALF YEAR SINCE I OWNED THE CAR) I'VE BEEN NOTICING THAT MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON EVERY NOW AND THEN, AND GEAR SHIFTING BECAME SIGNIFICANTLY LAGGING AROUND 30MPH. EVERY SINGLE TIME IN A SERVICE APPOINTMENT (WHICH I TOOK STRICTLY ON SCHEDULE FOR EVERY 3 MONTHS), I WOULD POINT THAT OUT TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT, AND EVERY SINGLE TIME THEY WOULD CLAIM THAT THEY TESTED EVERYTHING AND THERE WAS NO PROBLEM THEY DETECTED. WHILE LAST WEEK (LATE JUNE 2017, 2 AND A HALF YEARS SINCE I OWNED THE CAR, AND INTERESTINGLY 5 MONTHS AFTER ALL MY WARRANTY EXPIRED), I WAS TRYING TO DRIVE BACK HOME FROM OFFICE VIA THE HIGHWAY. WHILE ENTERING THE HIGHWAY AND SPEEDUP, I NOTICED THAT MY ENGINE SPEED WENT UPS AND DOWNS IN A SERIOUS, UNCOMMON, RAPID MANNER. THERE WAS ALSO AN UNPLEASANT NOISE COMING OUT OF THE TRANSMISSION SYSTEM. MY CAR SERIOUSLY SHAKES, AND ALL GEAR SHIFTING ATTEMPTS BECAME USELESS. THE CAR WENT OUT OF CONTROL AND WENT TO NEUTRAL GEAR ON THE HIGHWAY--WHICH PUSHED ME TO A VERY DANGEROUS EMERGENCY SITUATION. FORTUNATELY I MADE IT STOPPED BY THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND MANAGED TO CALL THE ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE. MY CAR WAS FINALLY TOWED TO THE CLOSEST CHEVY DEALERSHIP, AND UPON DIAGNOSTICS THEY REPLIED THAT TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION PART, IT WOULD COST ME $4100. IT WAS THE SAME AMOUNT FOR SELLING THE SAME MODEL WITH GOOD CONDITION !!!! I READ EVERY COMPLAINTS FOR 2011 CHEVY CRUZE REGARDING THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM, AND FOUND VERY SIMILAR EXPERIENCES FOR ALL THE CASES. IT ALL HAPPENED ON THE 2011 MODULE, TRANSMISSION SYSTEM GOT FAILED AROUND 50K~60K MILEAGE, AND THE ONLY SOLUTION IS TO REPLACE THE WHOLE PART.

Mileage: 55,400

BOUGHT THIS CAR USED WITH 51K MILES A MONTH AGO. DROVE GREAT THE FIRST WEEK, AFTER THAT LOSES POWERUPON ACCELERATION AND IS SLOW TO GET UP TO SPEED. WHILE DRIVING JUST NOW, THE CAR WAS LOSING POWER SO I DECIDED TO HIT THE GAS HARDER AND INSTEAD OF GOING FASTER THE THE STABILITY TRACK LIGHT CAME ON. I AM STARTING TO WONDER IF I MADE A BAD DECISION PURCHASING THIS CAR. IT HAD TROUBLE GOING UP HILL ON THE HIGHWAY LAST WK. THIS CAR IS TOO COMPACT TO HAVE SPEED ISSUES.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN A CITY STREET, THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT. JUST AS IT WAS ABOUT TO MOVE FORWARD AS THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, IT WENT INTO ENGINE POWER REDUCED MODE AND PREVENTED THE VEHICLE FROM MOVING FORWARD AT A NORMAL RATE OF SPEED. THANKFULLY WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR OFF THE ROAD. HAD TO BE TOWED TO MECHANIC. THE CONDITIONS WERE COLD (ABOUT 20 DEGREES), WITH NO ICE. FURTHER WARNINGS INCLUDED TRACTION CONTROL SERVICING, BUT THERE WERE NO ISSUES WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM. MECHANIC IS SAYING IT IS A THROTTLE BODY ISSUE.

TRANSMISSION JERKS EXTREMELY HARD. WHEN AIR IS ON CAR FAILS TO ACCELERATE AT ALL. IDLES ON ITS OWN, JUMPS GEARS ALWAYS. FUEL SYSTEM IS BAD, IT CHOKES CONSTANTLY AND WONT START SOME DAYS. IT VIBRATES EXTREMELY HARD AND I HAD IT SERVICED 1 MONTH AGO FOR SHAFT CASE. THIS IS THE WORST CAR EVER!!!!!!! ITS A DANGER TO DRIVE IT WONT PICK UP SPEED AND WHEN THE AIR IS ON IT WONT MOVE AT ALL. IF STILL AT A LIGHT, IT WILL JERK EXTREMELY HARD TO WHERE IT JERKS ME. WHEN IN PARK IT IDLES ITSELF. IF I'M ENTERING ONTO THE HIGHWAY IT WONT PICK UP SPEED EVEN IF THE AIR IS NOT ON. WHEN I REVERSE AND GO BACK TO PARK IT JERKS EXTREMELY HARD. I HATE THIS CAR!!! SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T WANT TO STOP.

CAR WILL SLOW TO 2 MPH WITH THE WARNINGS "LOW ENGINE MODE" AND "SERVICE STABILITRACK". CAN BE GOING ANY SPEED AND THIS HAPPENS. HAVE HAD THE CAR TOWED 3 TIMES FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM. EACH TIME THEY TELL US IT IS ANOTHER PART THAT IS DEFECTIVE. WE HAVE SPENT APPROXIMATELY $2,000 ON REPAIRS FOR THIS SAME ISSUE. MY MAIN CONCERN IS THAT MY [XXX] YEAR OLD SON WHO DRIVES THIS VEHICLE IS GOING TO GET KILLED. IF THIS HAPPENS ON A HIGHWAY WITH A SEMI BEHIND HIM, THE SEMI WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SLOW DOWN TO THAT SPEED THAT FAST AND WILL RUN RIGHT OVER HIM. THERE ARE NUMEROUS REPORTS OF THIS SAME ISSUE ON 2011-2015 CRUZE VEHICLES THAT YOU CAN FIND ANYWHERE ON THE INTERNET (EVEN ON GM FORUM). I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE FROM THIS ISSUE BEFORE A RECALL IS MADE ON THESE VEHICLES? *JS PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).*CC

INTERMITTENT SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL AND STABILITRAK WHILE AT A STOP WHEN ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE AFTER THE SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON THE VEHICLE LACKED POWER AND HIGH TEMP FAN TURN ON. THE ONLY WAY TO GET THE CAR OUT OF THE SERVICE LOCK WAS TO TURN THE IGNITION OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON. I TOOK THE CAR TO A DEALER WHERE THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN COVERED UNDER A RECALL ON OTHER CHEVY VEHICLES SUCH AS THE EQUINOX.

IN ADDITION TO TWO COMPLAINTS FILED ABOUT THIS VEHICLE ALREADY. THE U.S HAS NO CONCERN FOR HUMAN LIFE IN THE U.S AND IS ALLOWING WHITE SUPREMACY TO ENDANGER MINORITY DRIVERS AND OTHER DRIVERS. THE TESTING OF SATELLITE RADIOLOGICAL DISPERSAL WEAPONS AND REMOTE CONTROL SYSTEMS INVOLVING, HACKING, BACKDOOR ACCESS, REMOTE CONTROL, SURVEILLANCE AND VEHICLE COMPROMISE PERSISTS. ON 12/10/15 AND 12/09/15 THE VEHICLE WAS HALTED BY FORCE FROM A SATELLITE TRACKING THE VEHICLE. AMPLE EVIDENCE OF ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS IN THE CAR, CELLPHONE TRACKING AND HOME TRACKING IS AVAILABLE. A FEDERAL LAWSUIT WAS FILED AND DISMISSED WITHOUT REASON OF CAUSE TO FURTHER THE HATE CRIME. ON THESE TWO DAYS I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE ONE AGAIN, AND LOST CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE STEERING AND THROTTLE. THE ISSUE OCCURS AT STOP SIGNS TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT THERE OR AT A INTERSECTION. THE VEHICLE IS PURPOSELY TAMPERED WITH DURING TRANSIT TO CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL AND THROTTLE. THE VEHICLE THROTTLE IS GONE, THE GAS PEDDLE GOES LIMP AND THE ENGINE STOPS THROTTLE FOR A DURATION. THE ENGINE THEN KICKS IN FULL FORCE AFTER A SERIES OF HARD SPUTTERS ON THROTTLE JERKING THE CAR FORWARD UP A HILL OR INTO TO A STOP. I WAS IN HIGHLAND NY LEAVING A PLAZA, WHERE THIS OCCURS, AND OTHER INTERSECTIONS WITH LIGHTS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET CRUZE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SERVICE STABILITY TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY AND THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL HESITATED TO RESPOND. ON THE FIRST OCCASION, THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING AT 20 MPH AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. ON A SECOND OCCASION, THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE EACH TIME BUT THE FAILURE WAS PROGRESSING. THE FAILURE CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO GO INTO A LIMP MODE EACH TIME. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TWICE AND THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE AND DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER A THIRD TIME WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE ALTERNATOR ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS LEFT FOR A DIAGNOSIS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,000.

STABILITY TRAC AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT APPEARS, VEHICLE EXPERIENCES IMMEDIATE LOSS OF POWER. EXPERIENCED WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY ATTEMPTING TO CHANGE LANES. DUE TO THE SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER I WAS NEARLY STRUCK BY A BIG RIG. DEALER CAN NOT IDENTIFY CODES ONLY CODE THAT APPEARED WAS PO171,FUEL TRIM LEAN CODE WAS ADDRESSED BY DEALER, DEALER CLAIMS ORIGINAL COMPLAINT WAS TIED TO THE P0171 CODE. WHILE DRIVING HOME EXPERIENCED SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER AND ROUGH SHIFTING. NO WARNING LIGHTS OR INDICATORS APPEARED. VEHICLE SMELLS LIKE BURNT OIL, AND NOTICED A LOUD TICKING NOISE. NOTIFIED DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT IS NORMAL VEHICLE WILL BE FINE AFTER 400 MILES OF DRIVING. MY FAMILIES LIFE WILL BE PLACED IN JEAPORDY FOR THE NEXT 400 MILES. THE UNRESPONSIVE ACCELERATION AND SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.

WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE INTO AN BUSY INTERSECTION, I FLOORED MY CAR AND QUICKLY REALIZED MY ENGINE HAD DRASTICALLY REDUCED POWER. THE CAR WAS HARDLY MOVING. THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING BUT THERE WAS NO ACCELERATION. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS OR ANYTHING, JUST NO ACCELERATION. LUCKILY, THE DRIVER BARRELING UP BEHIND WAS ABLE TO MOVE OVER INTO THE OTHER LANE OR IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT.

PRACTICALLY EVERY DAY I DRIVE MY CAR, I EXPERIENCE EXTREME SHIFTING AND TRANSMISSION ISSUES. SPECIFICALLY, I HAVE TO FLOOR THE GAS PEDAL FOR THE CAR TO MOVE FROM 2ND TO 3RD SHIFT. THIS IS AN AUTOMATIC CAR, AND IT DRIVES LIKE A POORLY SHIFTING MANUAL. IT IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE IT DOES NOT ACCELERATE WHEN I HIT THE GAS PEDAL, RATHER THE ENGINE REVS VERY HIGH AND LOUDLY, YET THE CAR DOES NOT ACCELERATE. IT ALSO HAS MADE LOUD POPPING SOUNDS FROM THE ENGINE, AND THE CAR FILLS WITH AN EXHAUST SMELL, AND DURING THE WINTER COOLANT SMELL IS OBVIOUS IN AND OUTSIDE THE CAR. I AM VERY UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVING-AND FEEL UNSAFE-DRIVING THIS CAR AND IT IS ALMOST FOUR YEARS OLD WITH LESS THAN 50,000 MILES! I HAVE BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP ON THE BELOW DATES AND THEY CANNOT ?DUPLICATE THE ISSUE?, THUS HAVE NOT FIXED IT. ON ONE OCCASION, THE DEALERSHIP HAD MY CAR FOR 3-WEEKS! I HAVE NO IDEA IF THE DEALERSHIP IS EVEN DAILY TESTING, OR DRIVING, THE CAR. I DO KNOW, HOWEVER, IT IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE BECAUSE THE SHIFTING AND ACCELERATING IS UNRELIABLE AND WILL MOST DOUBTABLE CAUSE AN ACCIDENT INJURING MYSELF AND/OR OTHERS. I HAVE ALSO CALLED GM AND NUMEROUS OCCASIONS AND THEY WERE VERY UNHELPFUL, STATING THEY NEVER HEARD OF A SHIFTING/TRANSMISSION ISSUE WITH THE CHEVY CRUZE, WHEN IN FACT THE 2011 CHEVY CRUZE WAS RECALLED FOR SHIFTING LOCK CABLE. I HAVE RECEIVED, UNSOLICITED; A LETTER FROM A LAWFIRM TO SUE GM NOTING THIS EXACT ISSUES SHIFTING/POWER ISSUES (AMONGST FAULTY WATER PUMPS, WHICH I ALSO HAD REPLACED AFTER ONLY OWING THE CAR 2-YEARS), SO CLEARLY THERE ARE MANY OTHERS EXPERIENCING THESE ISSUES. DATES BROUGHT MY CAR TO (SULLIVAN'S ONEILLS IN AVON, CT) 1/16/2015; 5/2/2015; 5/09/2015;5/13/2015; 6/24/2015; 7/17/2015 MY GM SERVICE TICKETS ARE 71-1490864298 & 71-1490864298. THE CAR IS EITHER A LEMON, OR NEEDS TO BE RECALLED FOR SHIFTING/TRANSMISSION ISSUES.

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR HOME FROM WORK AT THE END OF JANUARY, I FELT IT SUDDENLY SLOW DOWN ON ITS OWN. I HAD A MESSAGE ON MY DISPLAY TO SERVICE STABILITRAK AND ENGINE POWER REDUCED. I HAD NO POWER TO THE CAR AND HAD TO PULL OFF THE ROAD. I TURNED MY CAR OFF FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES AND THEN BACK ON, IT STARTED AND RAN FINE THE REST OF THE WAY HOME. THEN AGAIN TODAY, FEB. 24TH, 2015, WHILE DRIVING TO WORK, IT DID THE EXACT SAME THING. I HAD TO MOVE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IN EARLY MORNING TRAFFIC (NOT AN EASY THING TO DO!), AND TURN MY CAR OFF. I WAITED FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES, STARTED IT AND DROVE THE REST OF THE WAY INTO WORK WITHOUT PROBLEMS. AFTER READING THE MANY COMPLAINTS OF THE EXACT SAME SITUATIONS, I WOULD THINK IT'S TIME FOR A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT DUE TO THE SUDDEN REDUCTION OF POWER!! *JS

Mileage: 104,320

WHILE DRIVING I LOST ENGINE POWER AND HAD NO FOOT THROTTLE. THE CHECK LIGHT CAME ON THAT STATED REDUCED ENGINE POWER AND CHECK STABILATRAK. SHUTTING CAR OFF AND RESTART DID NOT FIX. MY CAR WOULD NOT GO OVER 4MPH AND I WAS NEARLY REAR ENDED. *JS

MY DAUGHTER ALMOST DIED DRIVING IT ON MONDAY. SHE WAS ON ROUTE 1 IN COLLEGE PARK, MD WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE/REDUCED POWER LIGHT CAME ON AND SHE COULD GO NO MORE THAN 2-3 MPH. THIS IS A VERY BUSY ROAD, AND SHE WAS ALMOST IN A POTENTIALLY TRAGIC ACCIDENT. WE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO SPORT CHEVROLET IN SILVER SPRING, MD (240-471-3190). OUR SERVICE ADVISOR ([XXX]:) INFORMED ME THIS MORNING THAT THE FIX IS A THROTTLE BODY REPLACEMENT WHICH WILL COST $648. IN GOING ON THE CHEVY FORUM WEBSITE, THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES TO CHEVY CRUZE AND MALIBU MODELS. IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME UNTIL SOMEONE DIES. THE THROTTLE BODY IS ONLY COVERED UP TO 35K SO I HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT NO SPECIFIC SPEED THE CAR ALERTS AND SAYS CHECK ENGINE, REDUCED ENGINE SPEED, AND CHECK STABILIZER TRACTION CONTROL. THE ENGINE THEN POWERS DOWN AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE. I WAS RECENTLY DRIVING AND THIS HAPPENED, TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT I ENDED UP IN A DITCH AND HAD TO BE TOWED OUT. I HAD THE CAR REPAIRED WHICH WAS COSTLY AND WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY CHEVY OFFERS. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS DEFECT ON THE CAR AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AS A RECALL, DUE TO THE FIRST TIME I TRIED TO HAVE THE CAR REPAIRED I WAS TOLD IT WAS GONNA BE 4-6 WEEKS TO WAIT ON THE PART BECAUSE THEY WERE ON BACK ORDER BECAUSE THEY HAVE HAD QUITE A FEW CARS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. WHEN I ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE WITH CHEVY THEY HAD NO CONCERN THAT A CAR LOSING POWER WHILE TRAVELING WAS NO BIG DEAL. I WAS NEARLY REAR ENDED BY A SEMI-TRUCK AND WAS FORCED INTO A DITCH. *TR

I WAS PULLING OUT OF A GAS STATION, USE TO MY NORMAL POWER AND ALMOST GOT HIT BECAUSE MY CAR WOULDN'T GO OVER 15MPH FLOORED. THEN LOOKED DOWN AND SAW A ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED, SERVICE STABILI TRAK AND SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL. SO I TOOK TO A MECHANIC HE HOOKED IT UP AND THE CODE SHOWED UP AS MY THROTTLE BODY POSITION SENSOR. THEY REPLACED IT AND DROVE IT AND IT DROVE FINE FOR ABOUT TWO WEEKS. I WAS JUST GOING DOWN THE ROAD THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR DID THE SAME THING. I LOST POWER SO FAST THAT I ABOUT GOT REAR ENDED. TOOK IT BACK TO THE BODY SHOP AND SHOWED THE SAME CODE SO THEY REPLACED THE PART AGAIN. AND TWO DAYS AFTER ALL THIS MY CAR IS DOING THIS AGAIN. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AT HOW IT LOOSES ENGINE POWER. IT LOOSES IT SO FAST THAT SOMEONE CAN GET HURT EXTREMELY BAD. *TR

WAS TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH CRUISE CONTROL SET AT 67MPH WHEN SUDDENLY THE CAR JUST LOST POWER AND THE ENGINE QUIT RUNNING. ALL OF THE DASHBOARD INSTRUMENTS LOST POWER ,GAS GAUGE REGISTERED EMPTY, ETC. ALTHOUGH THE RADIO DID NOT GO OFF. LUCKILY THIS HAPPENED WITH VERY LIGHT TRAFFIC AND WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF IN THE EMERGENCY LANE AND PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE WITH NO TROUBLE. CONTINUED OUR TRIP AND DID NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. AFTER THINKING ABOUT THIS I DID NOTICE THE VEHICLE A FEW WEEKS AGO LOSING SOME ACCELERATING SPEED/POWER INTERMITTENTLY WHILE TRAVELING. NOT SURE IF THAT WAS AN INDICATOR OR NOT. DID CALL ONSTAR APPROXIMATELY 5 HOURS AFTER INCIDENT TO DIAGNOSE AND SEE IF ANY ERROR CODES CAME UP AND THEY STATED THEY SHOWED NOTHING. THIS IS MY DAUGHTERS VEHICLE AND I FEAR THAT IF SHE IS TRAVELING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND THIS HAPPENS AGAIN THAT THIS COULD CAUSE A SEVER ACCIDENT. *JS

WE HAVE A LOSS OF ENGINE POWER AT ANY SPEED AND TWO ERRORS COME UP, "SERVICE STABILITRACK" AND "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL" . ENGINE LOSES POWER AND CANNOT MAINTAIN SPEED ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS WHEN TRYING TO MAINTAIN FREEWAY SPEEDS. ALSO HAPPENS AT LOW SPEEDS, 10 TO 25 MPH. THEREFORE IT CAN HAPPEN AT ANY SPEED. CAN RESET BY REMOVING BATTERY CABLE, BUT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN WITHIN A DAY OR TWO. THIS ISSUE STARTED ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO. HAPPENS ALL THE TIME NOW AND IS VERY DANGEROUS. WENT ON LINE AND FOUND BLOGS WHERE OTHER PEOPLE ARE ALSO HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE. THEY ARE THE ONES THAT SUGGESTED WE TAKE OFF THE BATTERY CABLE TO RESET. WE CHECKED ALL THE FUSES AS ONE BLOG SAID AND THEY ARE ALL OK. CALLED CHEVY DEALER AND THEY HAD NO RECALL AND WANTED 100 DOLLARS TO LOOK AT IT AND THEN DECIDE IF IT FELL UNDER WARRANTY. PURCHASED CAR AT 43,000 MILES, CURRENTLY AT 73,000 MILES. THE ISSUE USED TO HAPPEN FROM TIME TO TIME NOW IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP DOES NOT THINK IT IS COVERED BY THE WARRANTY BUT WILL NOT SAY UNTIL WE TAKE IT IN TO HAVE IT SERVICED. WE MIGHT ADD WE HAVE A STANDARD TRANSMISSION AS THIS MAY DIFFERENT THAN THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS. TRYING TO SHIFT WITHOUT ANY ENGINE POWER IS A PROCESS IN TERROR ON THE FREEWAY. *TR

MY CAR KEEPS SHUTTING OFF WHILE IM DRIVING IT.. IT IS NOW NOT EVEN TURNING ON AT THIS POINT. I TRY TO START IT AND WONT TURNOVER. LAST WEEK WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT SPEED 35-40, MY RADIO AND A/C TURNED OFF, THEN THE CAR BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN, THEN SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. I WANT TO ADD HOW EXTREMELY DANGEROUS THIS IS FOR ME (7 MONTHS PREGNANT, AND 2 LITTLE GIRLS IN CAR). I TRIED SCHEDULING AN APPOINTMENT SEVERAL TIMES FOR THE ELECTRICAL RECALL AND HAVE BEEN SCHEDULED FAR OUT. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT ENGAGE FROM A STOP TO MOVE AND ALMOST CAUSED A COLLISION. EVEN ON THE HIGHWAY THE VEHICLE DOES NOT SHIFT PROPERLY AND HESITATES AND WHEN IT FINALLY SHIFTS IT SLAMS INTO GEAR. THE MOSTLY OCCURS FROM A STOPPED POSITION AND THEN DURING ACCELERATION. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT IS HOW IT IS DESIGNED AND NOTHING IS WRONG. BUT THE PROBLEM JUST KEEPS GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. LONGER HESITATIONS AND HARDER SHIFTING. *TR

HESITANT ACCELERATION ISSUE. AFTER COMING TO A STOP. I PUT MY FOOT ON ACCELERATOR AND VEHICLE DID NOT GO FORWARD AT FIRST. THEN ENGINE REV UP BUT VEHICLE STARTED TO MOVE SLOWLY. WHEN IT DID I COULD ONLY GO 27 MPH IN A 45 MPH ZONE. HAD TO PULL OVER AND TURN OFF VEHICLE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE WHEN TRYING TO MERGE ON TO A HIGHWAY. WENT TO TWO AUTHORIZED CHEVROLET DEALERS ON 12/02/13 AND 4/02/14. BOTH DEALERS STATED THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM AND ALL TROUBLE CODES INDICATED EVERYTHING IS OK. WHICH IT IS NOT. THIS IS A 1.4 TURBO 4 ENGINE. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. PLEASE HELP! *TR

BOUGHT BRAND NEW AND HAS ALWAYS HAD JERKING AND HESITATION WHEN HITTING ACCELERATOR. ALSO JERKING WHEN SHIFTING AND OVER REVVING DUE TO NOT SHIFTING PROPERLY. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP, THEY COULDN'T REPLICATE ISSUE. AT 36,000 MILES HAD TO HAVE ECM REPLACED DUE TO CAR STALLING OUT AT STOPS, RUNNING VERY ROUGH THEN STALLING AT STOPS. SEEMED TO HELP SOMEWHAT BUT DID NOT ALLEVIATE THE RUNNING ROUGH INTERMITTENTLY STILL AT STOPS WHICH IS SCARY AS DON'T KNOW WHEN IT MIGHT STALL OUT AND NOT GO AS MY JOB REQUIRES TRAVELING THROUGH THE WEEK. AT 50,000 MILES HAD TO HAVE ECM PROGRAM "UPDATED" AND SPARK PLUGS REPLACED...DEALERSHIP SAID PLUGS SHOULD BE ON A RECALL BUT THEY DID REPLACE NO CHARGE I PAID FOR LABOR CHARGES OF COURSE. CAR IS STILL RUNNING ROUGH INTERMITTENTLY AT STOPS, ALMOST STALLS OUT BUT HASN'T YET...I WOULD NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHEVY PRODUCT AND AM VERY SAD TO SAY THAT AS HAD MY 1998 MALIBU FOR 12 YEARS WITHOUT MAJOR ISSUES. THANK YOU. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AND ALL THE SUDDEN MY CAR SLOWED DOWN, A MESSAGE CAME UP THAT SAID "ENGINE POWER REDUCED". I COULD NOT DRIVE AND HAD NO ACCELERATION ABILITY. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES, AND NOW IT IS HAPPENING FREQUENTLY AND COMPLETELY STALLS OUT. *TR

I WAS BEGINNING TO ACCELERATE FROM AT STOPPED POSITION READY TO ENTER TRAFFIC WHEN THE CAR HESITATED TO THE POINT OF STALLING OUT. THE PROBLEM IS PERIODIC. IT'S VERY SCARY TO BE PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND THE CAR PRACTICALLY STALLS. I TOLD THE DEALERSHIP BUT THEY DIDN'T TAKE ME SERIOUSLY. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY MY "ENGINE POWER REDUCED","SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL", AND "SERVICE STABILITRAK" WARNING NOTICES APPEARED. FRANTICALLY I PULLED OVER ON THE UP COMING EXIT RAMP, EVEN THOUGH THE ENGINE WOULD NOT GO OVER 5 MPH WITH MY GAS PEDAL PUSHED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, AND WAS FORTUNATE NOT TO BE HIT WITH MY 3 CHILDREN IN THE CAR. AFTER DOING MY RESEARCH , I TURNED OFF THE CAR LET IT REST AND CONTINUED DRIVING ONLY FOR IT TO HAPPEN 4 MORE TIMES WITH IN 25 MINUTES. THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED 3 OTHER TIMES THROUGHOUT THE WEEK! THERE SEEMS TO BE NO ANSWER FROM THE DEALERSHIP EVEN THOUGH I TOOK PICTURES OF THE WARNING LIGHTS AND PROVIDED MANY OTHER EXACTLY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ALL ACROSS THE COUNTRY! I WILL NOT DRIVE THIS CAR AND ESPECIALLY NOT WITH MY CHILDREN IN IT I HAVE JUST WASTED 16K OF MY MONEY ! WHY IS THERE NOT A SOLUTION FOR THIS ISSUE YET AND IF THERE IS WHY DOES IT TAKE SUCH EXTREME REMEDIES TO FIND THE SOLUTION. THIS IS A RECALL MATERIAL SITUATION! I WOULD LIKE SOMEONE TO CALL ME IN REGARDS TO THIS SITUATION, I FEEL THERE IS NO EXCUSE MY CHILDREN AND I COULD HAVE DIED TONIGHT ! *TR

WHILE PARKED IN A PARKING LOT WAITING FOR THE SNOWY CONDITIONS TO SLOW DOWN, I WAITED ABOUT 15 MINUTES WITH MY CAR ON IDLE. I PULLED OUT OF THE PARKING SPOT TO GO TO MY DESTINATION. AS I WAS ON DRIVE, MY CAR SLOWED DOWN TO 5 MPH AND COULDN'T ACCELERATE, MESSAGE PULLED UP ON MY SCREEN SAYING "ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED". TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND QUOTED ME $500 TO FIX THE VALVE BODY SYSTEM. I'VE READ ON A FORUM THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS MODEL. *TR

MY 2011 CHEVY CRUZE LTZ WENT IN TO REDUCED ENGINE POWER MODE AND SAID TO SERVICE STABILITRAK AND TRACTION CONTROL. THIS HAPPENED IN BELOW FREEZING TEMPERATURES WITH FROZEN PRECIPITATION ON THE GROUND. RESEARCH ONLINE INDICATES THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH CHEVY CRUZE VEHICLES. THE CAR WAS DRIVE ABLE AFTER POWERING DOWN FOR A FEW SECONDS, BUT A FEW MILES DOWN THE ROAD IT WOULD GO INTO REDUCED ENGINE POWER MODE AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THE LAST WEEK. LIKELY THROTTLE BODY PROBLEM. *TR

MY 2011 CHEVY CRUZE HAS AN ACCELERATION HESITATION THAT CAUSES ME TO FEEL TOTALLY UNSAFE IN THE VEHICLE. STARTING ABOUT 6 MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2011 THE ISSUE BEGAN. WHEN I NEED TO ACCELERATE IN CERTAIN SITUATIONS SUCH AS PULLING OUT ON A ROAD, PASSING ANOTHER VEHICLE, ACCELERATING AFTER REDUCING SPEED, ETC. ETC. THE CAR LOSES POWER WHEN I STEP ON THE GAS FOR THREE-FIVE SECONDS BEFORE SLOWLY RESPONDING AND ACCELERATING TO WHERE I NEED IT TO BE. IT'S AS IF THE CAR DIES FOR A FEW SECONDS. THOSE FEW SECONDS ARE ALWAYS IN SITUATIONS WHEN I NEED TO BE MOVING AND I DON'T LIKE IT. I BROUGHT THE CAR IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS TURBO LAG. THINKING I DIDN'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT CARS, I LET IT GO. THE ISSUE IS GETTING WORSE (AND THERE WERE NUMEROUS OTHER LITTLE ISSUES) SO I BROUGHT THE CAR IN TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP RIGHT BEFORE IT HIT 36,000 MILES AND WAS TOLD (ON TWO SEPARATE VISITS) THAT THE PROBLEM WAS PERFECTLY NORMAL AND THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. THEY SHOWED ME A TSB FROM CHEVROLET SAYING THAT THE ISSUE WAS NORMAL. THEY ALSO SAID THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE. INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH, WHEN THEY HAD MY CAR FOR A TOTAL OF 7.5 DAYS (OVER TWO SEPARATE VISITS) THEY GAVE ME A 2013 CRUZE TO DRIVE. THE NEWER CRUZE DID NOT HAVE THE HESITATION PROBLEM AT ALL, IT DROVE BEAUTIFULLY. THIS LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT GM REALIZED THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE 2011 CRUZE AND WAS ABLE TO REMEDY IT IN THE NEWER MODELS OF THE CAR WHICH LEAVES THE MANY 2011 CRUZE OWNERS SCARED FOR THEIR LIVES EVERY TIME THEY DRIVE THEIR CARS FOREVER. THAT ISN'T RIGHT. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL THAT HAVE THIS SAME ISSUE. IT IS DANGEROUS!! JUST BECAUSE NO ONE THAT WE KNOW OF HASN'T DIED YET THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT THERE ISN'T AN ISSUE. THE 2011 CRUZE IS UNSAFE AND SOMEONE NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. *TR

CONSUMER STATED CHEVROLET CRUZE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT, COULD NOT STOP. IT CRASHED INTO A FORD EXPEDITION. THE CONSUMER ALSO STATED THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY.

Mileage: 10,510

THIS INCIDENT IS OCCURRING ON A NEW VEHICLE THAT WAS PURCHASED LESS THAN 2 YEARS AGO. ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, AT A RATE OF SPEED APPROXIMATELY 65 -75 MPH, THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH WOULD LIGHT UP AND THE CAR WOULD FAIL TO ACCELERATE AND START LOSING SPEED. ATTEMPTS TO PRESS THE ACCELERATOR AND GAIN SPEED WOULD RESULT IN EITHER THE CAR REVVING VERY HIGH AND ONLY REACH 5 - 10 MPH HOUR, OR THE CAR WOULD COMPLETELY LOSE POWER AND DIE. THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO EXIT THE FREEWAY DUE TO THE HIGH RATE OF SPEED OF THE OTHER VEHICLES ON THE FREEWAY AS THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE FASTER THAN 5-10 MPH. THIS SITUATION IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS AS THE VEHICLE IS IN JEOPARDY OF BEING IN AN ACCIDENT OR CAUSING AN ACCIDENT AS YOU HAVE NO WARNING BEFORE THE CAR STARTS TO JUST LOSE SPEED AT A VERY FAST PACE. THE MANUFACTURER AND/OR DEALERSHIP INDICATED THEY HAD CORRECTED THE PROBLEMS EACH TIME. *TR

2011 CHEVROLET CRUZE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE BRAKE MALFUNCTION. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED AS SHE TURNED INTO A PARKING LOT, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED, GIVING HER NO TIME TO REACT, WITH APPLYING THE BRAKE.

THERE IS KNOCKING NOISE IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. A LETTER FROM CHEVY STATES THAT THEY KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM BUT THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT. #PIC5726 THE CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 4 TIMES FOR THIS STARTING AT ABOUT 16,000 MILES. I HAVE ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR 1.5 MONTHS. TAKING THE CAR BACK TO SHOP ON 1/17/2013 FOR THE HEATER AND A GRINDING NOISE WHEN PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL DOWN.

VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED USED WITH 18*** MILES ON THE ODOMETER. VEHICLE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS ERRATICALLY WHEN DRIVING IN CITY CONDITIONS. PROBLEM MAY CAUSE STALLING OF VEHICLE AT LOWER HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE TRANSMISSION APPEARS TO SLIP AT SLOW SPEEDS. BEFORE SHIFTING, VEHICLE REGULARLY HITS MAXIMUM (RED LINE) RPM. POOR DOWNSHIFTING INTO LOWER GEARS CAUSES VEHICLE TO LUNGE FORWARD AT LOWER SPEEDS. MOST NOTABLY FROM PARK TO DRIVE. ON ICY ROADS, THE HARD SHIFTING MAY CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO LOOSE TRACTION, RESULTING IN A CRASH, CAUSING FATALITIES OR INJURIES TO THE OCCUPANTS. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP, TECHNICIANS WERE UNABLE TO REPRODUCE CUSTOMER COMPLAINT. MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. CURRENT MILEAGE 28***. *TR

EVER SINCE THE PURCHASE OF THE CAR I HAVE EXPERIENCED A HESITATION UPON ACCELERATION AT ALL SPEEDS. I HAVE ALSO TALKED TO A FEW PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME COMPLAINT WITH THEIR CRUZE. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THIS EFFECT IS KNOWN AS TURBO LAG. THE DEALERS SAY THE TURBO CHARGER TAKES TIME TO CATCH UP WITH THE ROTATION SPEED OF THE ENGINE. I HAVE DRIVEN MANY CARS WITH TURBO CHARGE IN MY LIFE AS AN AUTO MECHANIC AND HAVE NEVER FELT THIS HESITATION ON ANY OF THEM. WHY WOULD A TURBO CHARGER LAG WHEN IT'S WHOLE PURPOSE IS TO ENHANCE ACCELERATION. I TOOK THE CAR IN TO THE DEALER FOR THE LAST RECALL AND ASKED THEM TO CHECK INTO THIS PHENOMENA WHILE IT WAS IN THE SHOP. THEY WROTE ON THE REPAIR ORDER THAT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE MY COMPLAINT DURING THE ROAD TEST. I AM CONCERNED BECAUSE A HESITATION OF THIS SORT CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER. I WILL CONTINUE TO COMPLAIN TO THE DEALER BECAUSE THEIR STANCE SEEMS TO BE THAT THIS IS SOMETHING CHEVY CRUZE OWNERS ARE FORCED TO LIVE WITH. I'VE ALREADY HAD SOME CLOSE CALLS DUE TO THIS HESITATION. THANK YOU. *TR

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE AS A PRESENT FOR MY FATHER. AFTER GETTING IT HOME, (DRIVING IT HOME WAS ALL HIGHWAY), HE DROVE IT AROUND THE BLOCK AND NOTICED IT HAD A LAG IN THE VEHICLE SPEED. IT ALMOST FELT AS THOUGH IT WAS A MANUAL TRANSMISSION. I DROVE IT HOME THAT NIGHT AND NOTICED THE SAME FEELING. IT'S ALMOST AS THOUGH IT TAKES A LOT OF EFFORT OUT OFTHE CAR TO KEEP DRIVING. IT DOWNSHIFTS BEFORE ITS SUPPOSED TO WHEN DRIVING AND AS A RESULTS ISN'T GETTING THE GAS MILEAGE ITS SUPPOSED TOO. DRIVING CITY, IT WAS ONLY GETTING 18-19MPG FOR ME. IT DOES MUCH BETTER ON THE HIGHWAY, OVER 55MPH, THEN WITH CITY DRIVING. TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER, WHO TOOK IT TO A BIGGER CHEVY DEALER AND THEY STATED NOTHING WAS WRONG. GOT IT BACK AND ITS THE SAME WAY. WE LOVE THE CAR BUT WILL NOT DRIVE IT BECAUSE WE ARE AFRAID OF NOT KNOWING WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT AND POSSIBLY HAVING SOMETHING SERIOUS HAPPEN TO IT. WE HAVE 2 LITTLE ONES THAT WE NEED TO WORRY ABOUT WHO RIDE IN THE CAR AS WELL. SEEMS PRETTY UNSAFE TO HAVE A CAR DOWNSHIFT AND LAG WITH SPEED ASPECT WHEN ITS NOT SUPPOSED TOO. WISH A RECALL WOULD COME OUT. *TR

SEVERE HESITATION WHEN YOU ACCELERATE LEADING TO POSSIBILITY OF REAREND COLLISION..MANUFACTURER WELL AWARE OF ISSUE BUT SAYS THERE IS NO PROBLEM. *TR

WHEN YOU BACK OFF THE THROTTLE AND SLOW TO 20 TO 25 MPH, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT THE CAR WILL DO. IT MAY COAST LIKE A NORMAL CAR. IT MAY DOWNSHIFT AND SLOW MODERATELY. OR IT MAY DOWNSHIFT TO FIRST GEAR AND SLOW RADICALLY. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE COMPUTER TAKES FULL CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. YOU STEP ON THE GAS AND NOTHING HAPPENS. THE COMPUTER HAS CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE FOR THE NEXT 5 SECONDS. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 40 DIFFERENT TIMES. THIS CREATES A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. FIRST, I AM IN THE DRIVER SEAT AND I SHOULD HAVE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I DO NOT. SECONDLY, MOST PEOPLE DRIVE WITH THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC. IF I SLOW RADICALLY FOR ABSOLUTELY NO REASON AND ALL OF THE DRIVERS AROUND ME CONTINUE ON, SOMEONE BEHIND ME WILL RUN INTO ME. IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE A DISTRACTED DRIVER SMASHES INTO ME. AND THIRDLY, SINCE I NEVER TOUCHED THE BRAKE, THE BRAKE LIGHT NEVER CAME ON. THE DRIVER BEHIND ME HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING THAT I AM RADICALLY SLOWING AND CREATING SUCH A DANGEROUS SITUATION. IF YOU STEP ON THE GAS TO GET THE CAR TO GO, NOTHING HAPPENS. THEN THE COMPUTER RETURNS CONTROL TO THE DRIVER AND THE CAR TAKES OFF AT FULL SPEED. IF YOU STEP ON THE BRAKE, THE COMPUTER TAKES OVER. YOU THEN MUST COME TO A FULL COMPLETE STOP BEFORE THE COMPUTER WILL RETURN CONTROL TO THE DRIVER. IF YOU ARE MAKING A TURN WHEN THE CAR RADICALLY SLOWS, YOU COULD VERY EASILY LOOSE CONTROL. WHEN THE PAVEMENT IS WET OR SLIPPERY, THE PROBLEM IS GREATLY INCREASED. YOU ARE TOTALLY AT THE MERCY OF AN INSANE COMPUTER. FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME IF YOU NEED ANY FURTHER INFORMATION. PLEASE GO TO THE LOCAL CHEVY DEALER AND TEST DRIVE A CRUZE WITH THE AUTOMATIC SIX SPEED TRANSMISSION. YOU WILL SEE WHAT I MEAN.

I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH MY NEW 2011 CHEVY CRUZE ECO (1.4L 6 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION) THE CAR LOOSES POWER ESPECIALLY WHEN TRY TO ACCELERATE UP HILLS, TOTAL LOSS OF POWER AND LACK OF RESPONSE. THIS KEEPS HAPPENING OUT ON THE FREEWAY. I HAVE MY FOOT PRESSED ALL THE WAY DOWN ON ACCELERATOR, BUT NO RESPONSE FROM THE CAR. CAR HAS SLOWED DOWN TO 30 MPH GOING UP THE HILLS ON FREEWAY PUTTING ME IN AN UNSAFE POSITION. IT HAPPENS ON LEVEL SERVICES TOO, TRY TO GET THE CAR GOING WHEN AT A STOP LIGHT IS HARD TOO, I GIVE THE CAR GAS AND GET VERY SLOW RESPONSE, WHEN IT DOES RESPOND THE CAR IS VERY JERKY GOING THRU THE GEARS, AFRAID THIS MAY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT FOR FAILURE TO MOVE OUT AND WITH THE TRAFFIC. IT HAPPENS WITH ALL THE GEARS ! I HAVE PROBLEMS TOO WITH THE CAR OVER- ACCELERATING GOING NOW HILLS. ALL THE ABOVE CONTINUE TO HAPPEN DESPITE FOLLOWING THE OWNERS MANUAL FOR OPERATING THE VEHICLE. I FEEL STRONGLY THAT THIS IS A UNSAFE VEHICLE. I BOUGHT THE CAR WITH A 4 CYL TURBO WITH HOPES I WOULD HAVE A LITTLE EXTRA POWER, I HAVEN'T SEEN IT YET. *TR
