2012 CHEVROLET CRUZE Electrical System Problems

My car keeps telling me my trunk is open then it dings constantly going back and forth from tire monitor system to the trunk open. Then Everytime I turn the car off I have to wiggle the battery cable to get my car to start and my power steering keeps going out. I'm aware there are recalls.for my car but beings my check engine light is on they r refusing to fix my car. I don't understand. I thought recalls were mandatory and had to be fixed. This car barely has 85,000 miles on it. I shouldn't be having all these issues. It's all electrical it seems like. I need help.

Everything that has to do with the air in cabin and air intake for engine fails. Have issues all the time with it , told I need to fix one part then that fails again. Can’t use the AC in this car more than half the time if not an issue arises. Now I can’t get my inspection because again the same codes: P0097, P0171,P11c3, P 2199 At first I had only an issue with the MAF new one was placed and now all these errors popped up. The electrical also gave me issues before the lights are not as bright anymore in the car not the headlights. Too afraid to change them because I need the vehicle for my medical appointments and to pick up kids from school

The car's theft deterrent is not able to be turned off and is causing the car to stop working. I was driving my car on the highway and all of a sudden it completely shut off. I had it towed home. I replaced the battery and it worked for a short period of time but then shut off again. My mechanic states that the theft deterrent is getting triggered. We replaced the battery, fob battery, and checked everything it could possibly be with no luck. The car is too dangerous to drive and has caused missed work and loss of income.

Engine valve cover explode

Value covers leaking oil and I replace it 6 times and it keep leaking

The car began to shake uncontrollably on the freeway at 55/MPH . The car then marked "Engine Power is Reduced", causing the car to no longer accelerate more than 5-7/MPH. This is a very dangerous situation because it can cause a terrible accident on the road since it's a random inconvenience. I have heard that many of these types of cars "Chevy Cruze" seem to experience the same type of problem. With that being said it's safe to say that as an owner this situation is far out of my control and it's definitely a collective problem with the type of car and make that it is. I ask for this to be immediately looked into.

When the ac on the brake pad will lock and there no brakes you can't push it down it gets hard but when you turn the ac turns off the brake pad goes back to normal but it's damage to be driving and this happen .. Also the trac control light comes on along with the sailablzie light

Loses power replace the maf sensor new air filter replaced both thermostat sensors, the thing that regulates the gas and 3 oil changes only had the car 2 months. Now a differnt code is showing about a mis fire.. i dnt think any of the recalls were completed on my car

The temperature gauge never shows the hand even get to half on the hot cold fail however the car could have no coolant and be 400 degrees the sail will Or reflect so. This has caused many probable s bc I can’t tell when it over hears it’s mezwwzs the comupeter

Steering fades , blinkers go out, stability trac goes in and out. Radio goes on and off. Radio sometimes stays on after car is shut off.

It keeps running pot. And it also needs any houses now and I have done replaced the thermostat and the thermostat housing I'm going to voicemail

The problem I have is a very, very common problem and a huge safety issue to my life or anyone with the same car within around 2011 to 2015. The cheap plastic levers for the mode actuator for my defrost and vents do not work. They have broken and this I barely have any heat coming out of the front vents and absolutely none coming from the defrost. This is a huge issue and highly affects my driving in the cold and snowy, or even rainy, weather. I’m so upset there has not been a recall thus far. No one wants to spend 1000 dollars for a five dollar part when it’s not their fault that the levers are faulty! This is Chevrolets and thus, GMCs problem. My safety is highly threatened when I can’t defrost the ice nor the fog over my windshield meaning I cannot see!! I scrape it and as soon as I drive it gets worse I had to pull over today because I couldn’t see at all! It’s scary and not okay! Please admit to the mistake and fix the problem. Please!

Service Bulletin Number: 14311B, Date: June 2015, Service Bulletin: SB-10057574-8899 CONDITION On certain 2011–2015 model year Chevrolet Cruze vehicles, the negative battery cable terminal clamp may have an insufficient crimp at the battery negative terminal. Over time, the internal resistance increases and vehicle electrical systems do not receive adequate power. With this condition, the following effects are possible: the Radio/HVAC Display may turn off and on; the Antilock Brake System, Service Traction System, Service Stabilitrac and Steering vehicle messages may come on and off; the turn signal sound may not be heard; “Battery Saver Active” and “Service Steering” may display in the Driver Information Center (DIC); and the interior and exterior lighting may flicker. Power steering assist may also be lost, and greater effort may be needed to turn the steering wheel at low speeds or while the vehicle is stopped. It's in the Service Bulletin Provided below. I am not sure if my 2012 Chevy Cruze Eco is included in this Service Bulletin (Below), but this Service Bulletin is the closest thing I could find that describes what is going on with my Vehicle. Lights blinking, steering hard to turn, steering warning light coming on (Stabilitrac), and other things as well described in the Service Bulletin. Again, I am not sure if my car's VIN Number, is included in the Service Bulletin, I would like to know if it is? or not?, before taking it in to the Dealer Ship, for repairs/service, because it is unsafe to drive at this point forward.

WHILE DRIVING AT SPEED THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WOULD COME ON ENGINE WOULD START TO JERK AND THEN LOST POWER

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE AT ANAHEIM AUTO HUB LAST JUNE 6, 2020 FOR MY DAUGHTER. COUPLE MONTHS LATER IT STARTED LEAKING AND SMELLS LIKE BURNING OIL. AND THE STABILI TRACK SENSOR AND THE TRACTION CONTROL SENSORS CAME ON. AND, AS WELL AS THE KEY GOT STUCK INSIDE THE IGNITION COUPLE OF TIMES. SO I TOOK IT THE MECHANIC TO GET THE LEAKS FIX. THE MECHANIC FOUND THAT THE VALVE COVER GASKET LEAK AND VALVE TIMING SOLENOID. SO THE MECHANIC REPLACED THE VALVE GASKET COVER AND THE VALVE TIMING SOLENOID LEAK, AND RIGHT AFTER THAT BEING SAID, ONE WEEK LATER WE FOUND LEAKING SO, I TOOK IT BACK TO MECHANIC AGAIN, NOW THEY FOUND 3 DIFFERENT LEAK, FROM THE OIL COOLER LEAK, ENGINE OIL PAN GASKET AND LEAKING ON ENGINE TIMING COVER GASKET. AND I FOUND 7 RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE THAT HAS NEVER FIX. AND I AM THE NEW OWNER AND I JUST FINING THIS OUT. HERE ARE THE RECALLS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN RESOLVE ON 2012 CHEVROLET CRUZE ECO: RECALL SUBJECT: AIR BAGS/ CAMPAIGN# 13V23000 RECALL SUBJECT: AIR BAGS / CAMPAIGN# 12V522000 RECALL SUBJECT: ENGINE & ENGINE COOLING / CAMPAIGN# 12V288000 RECALL SUBJECT: FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE STORAGE TANK, ASSEMBLY MOUNTING / CAMPAIGN# 12V289000 RECALL SUBJECT: SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, POWER ASSIST / CAMPAIGN# 13V360000 RECALL SUBJECT: POWER TRAIN, AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE (TCM,PCM)

SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING CAR, THE CAR STARTED AND LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING BY ITSELF MORE THAN 10 MINUTES AFTER EXITING THE CAR. THEN HEAT STOPPED WORKING IN 0 DEGREE WEATHER. WHILE DRIVING NOTIFICATION SAID "AC OFF DUE TO HIGHT ENGINE TEMP". WHILE DRIVING CAR SHUT DOWN AND WOULDN'T START SAYING "SERVICE STABILI TRACK" TOOK TO MECHANIC AND THEY SAID I NEED A NEW WATER PUMP AND HEAD GASKET. MIND YOU HEAT STOPPED WORKING AS WELL AGAIN. THEY CONFIRMED THERE WAS NO ANTIFREEZE BECAUSE ITS LEAKING. NOW THANK GOODNESS I WAS JUST GETTING HOME, COULD BARELY GET INTO THE DRIVEWAY BECAUSE NOW I'M GETTING A NOTIFICATION "SERVICE POWER STEERING". FROM EVERYTHING I'VE READ THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS DUE TO ALL OF THESE ISSUES BUT MY VIN ISN'T LISTED. I STILL OWE ALMOST 5000.00 ON THIS CRAPPY CAR AND I'M COMPLETELY OVER IT... WORST CAR EVER

OIL IS RUNNING FROM A CAST NUT THAT HOLDS AN ALTERNATOR BRACKET TO THE ENGINE BLOCK AND WITH THE CAR GOING DOWN THE ROAD AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THERE' A STRONG POSSIBILITY THAT OIL COMING FROM THIS CAST NUT THAT CANT HOLD THE BRACKET STABLE IS LETTING THE PRESSURE OF THE OIL TO RUN OUT AND POSSIBLY COME IN CONTACT WITH THE INTERNAL WORKINGS OF THE ALTERNATOR AND SHORT IT OUT WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF A FIRE STARTING AND CAUSING OTHER PROBLEMS UNDER THE HOOD PLUS THE CHANCE OF DESTROYING THE ENGINE IF THE LEAK OF THE OIL PRESSURE PUSHES THAT END OF THE BRACKET OUT OF THE ENGINE BLOCK AND THE OIL WILL COME OUT LIKE WATER COMING OUT OF A WATER HOSE. WHAT IS HAPPENING NOW EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE CAR AND STOP IT LEAVES OIL ALL OVER DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND THE OIL LEAVES A BIG PUDDLE ON MY GARAGE FLOOR AND I END UP HAVING TO CRAWL UNDER THE CAR TO CLEAN EXCESS OIL OFF THE ENGINE AND THE GARAGE FLOOR ON A REGULAR BASIS. YOU TUBE IS SHOWING THAT SEVERAL DIFFERENT PEOPLE HAVE THIS PROBLEM THE BRACKET IS PUSHING OUT DUE THE FACT THAT THE CAST NUT IS BREAKING DOWN DUE TO THE HEAT AND IN TURN OIL STARTS RUNNING ALL OVER THE TOP SIDE OF THE MOTOR AND INTO DIFFERENT AREAS OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. IT MIGHT REALLY GIVE YOU A BETTER IDEAL OF THIS PROBLEM IF YOU LOOK ON YOU TUBE CONCERNING OIL LEAK PROBLEMS WITH THE CHEVROLET CRUZE 1.4L ENGINE STARTING IN 2012 AND IT STARTED ON APPROX. 10-15-2020 AND CONTINUES TO HAPPEN ACCORDING TO HOW FAR I DRIVE AND HOW LONG THE ENGINE IS AT OPERATING TEMPERATURE. IF I CAN HELP YOU TO HELP ME AND A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE THAT ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM . THANKS FOR YOUR TIME AND I HOPE THIS CAN BE TAKEN CARE FOR THE SAFETY ASPECT! THANKS AGAIN I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR HELP.

MY CAR HAS STARTED TO GET HARD TO BRAKE. EVEN GOING FORWARD OR REVERSE SLOWLY THE CAR DOES NOT WANT TO BRAKE. I TRY TO BRAKE AND THE CAR STILL SLIDES FORWARD OR REVERSE. I SOMETIMES HAVE TO PUMP THE BRAKE MULTIPLE TIME AND IT DOES NOT ALWAYS HELP. I HEARD THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE BUT MY CAR'S VIN IS NOT APART OF THE RECALL WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I BLEED THE BRAKES AND PUT NEW FLUID AND NOT MUCH HAS REALLY CHANGED. I HAVE A CHEVROLET CRUZE ECO 1.4L, ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

ALL OF THESE THINGS ARE PART OF THE RECALL FOR MY 2012 CHEVY CRUZE BUT FOR SOME REASON IT SAYS MY VIN # ISN'T PART OF THE RECALL. HOW IS THAT?? *TR

I PURCHASED A CAR ON DECEMBER 19TH 2019 I PUT $4,000 DOWN ON A 2012 CHEVY CRUZE FROM A FROM A USED CAR LOT HERE IN DAYTONA BEACH FLORIDA I CANNOT GET MY OIL CHANGE THE SCREW THAT LETS THE OIL OUT OF THE OIL PAN HAS BEEN STRIPPED AND I WAS UNABLE TO GET THE OIL CHANGED BECAUSE IN ORDER TO DO THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO BREAK IT AND SPOT WELDING WOULD NEED TO BE DONE ALSO EVERY TIME I SHUT MY CAR OFF AND GO TO TURN IT BACK ON I HAVE TO GET A JUMP MY CAR BATTERY LOSES ITS ENERGY OR WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT SO IT LOSES POWER MY BATTERY THE BATTERY IS 5 YEARS OLD ALSO MY ROTORS ARE BRAND-NEW BUT MY BRAKE PADS ARE BAD AND THEY WOULD NOT WHEN I SAY THEY I MEAN AUTOVENTURE IN HOLLY HILL FLORIDA WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR WILL NOT GIVE ME A CARFAX INSTEAD THEY GAVE ME ANOTHER THING THAT'S LIKE CARFAX AND IT SAYS THAT MY CAR IS FULL IS AND THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH IT WHEN INDEED THE MOTOR ITSELF IS FROM A JUNKYARD AND THEY DID NOT DENY THAT SO THIS IS WITHIN THE FIRST THREE WEEKS OF ME HAVING THE CAR AND I'M ALREADY SEEING THIS MANY PROBLEMS. ALSO I HAVE AN OIL LEAK I WAS TOLD TO PURCHASE A A COVER TO WHERE YOU PUT THE OIL IN THE CAR CUZ THE COVER MIGHT BE OLD AND IT STILL MIGHT NOT BE AS GOOD SO I WENT TO CHEVY DEALERSHIP AND PURCHASE IT FOR $28 ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT VALVE COVER GASKET ALSO NEEDS TO BE REPLACED SO MY CAR IS LEAKING OIL THE OIL CHANGE PLACE WHERE I'VE BEEN TAKING MY CAR'S THE LAST 6 YEARS WOULD NOT TOUCH MY CAR AND GIVE ME AN OIL CHANGE DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE BOLT AT THE BOTTOM OF THE OIL PAN HAS BEEN STRIPPED SO NOT ONLY IS MY OIL AT 6% BUT NOW I CAN'T GET MY OIL CHANGED BECAUSE OF IT

I HAVE A 2012 CHEVY CRUZE 1.4 TURBO ENGINE THE ISSUE IS OVER HEATING .. THIS ISSUE IS REOCCURRING.. I WAS DRIVING FOR APPROXIMATELY 10 TO 20 MINUTES WHEN THE INDICATOR ON THE DASH READS THAT THE CAR IS TO HOT YO DRIVE AND WILL SHUT DOWN LEFT ME STRANDED ON THE ROAD SIDE. I TAKE IT TO CHEVY DEALER TO LEARN THERE HAS BEEN A THERMOSTAT PROBLEM I GET THE ISSUE REPAIRD IT RUNS OK FOR A WHILE THEN AGAIN SAME PROBLEM (OVER HEATED) ONE AGAIN. TAKE AGAIN TO CHEVY DEALER THEY TELL ME IT'S THE WATER PUMP. I HAVE THE WATER PUMP REPAIRED. ALL IS OK FOR A SHORT WHILE. AGAIN THE SAME ISSUE I CALL CHEVY DEALER AGAIN TO BRING MY CAR BACK FOR THE 4TH TIME. THEY SCHEDULE MY APPT. TO LOOK AT MY CAR ONE AGAIN AND ON MY WAY TO THE DEALER CAR OVER HEATS TURNS ITS SELF OFF AND WILL NOT START BACK AFTER COOLING DOWN. FINALLY I GET THE CAR TO THE DEAL TO LEARN THAT IT BLEW THE HEAD GASKET AND NOW BECAUSE IT' OVER HEADED SO MANY TIMES I NOW NEED AN ENGINE!!! THERE HAS BEEN EXTEND WARRANTY ON ALL OF THE COOLING PARTS OF THE ENGINE AND THIS ISSUE SHOULD ALSO BE COVERED HOWEVER THE DEALER WILL NOT FIX THE CAUSED PROBLEM FROM THE FAULTY PARTS !!!!!!

SOMETIMES WHEN I SLOW TO A STOP OR JUST DRIVING CAR SHUTS OFF WITHOUT WARNING. NO LIGHTS OR ANYTHING COME ON IN THE DASH SHOWING IT'S OFF. STARTS RIGHT BACK UP BUT VERY DANGEROUS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET CRUZE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE ABRUPTLY SHUT OFF AND THE START/STOP BUTTON LIGHT FLASHED. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND DRIVEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE SHUT OFF VALVE FAILED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO AUTONATION CHEVROLET OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS (7769 BLVD 26, NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TX 76180), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 123,000.

Mileage: 123,000

TAKATA RECALL I HEAR A DRIPPING SOUND UNDER THE HOOD, FOLLOWED BY A SOUND LIKE THE DRIPPING IS HITTING SOMETHING HOT. ELECTRONICS SUCH AS THE RADIO, SIGNALS, AND THE ENTIRE COMPUTER SCREEN IS OUT. THE CAR IS AT THE AUTONATION SERVICE CENTER ON SECURITY BLVD. IN BALTIMORE AND THEY ARE LOOKING TO PROFIT FROM THESE DEFECTS. IT'S SAD...

Mileage: 74,000

WHILE DRIVING MY 2012 CHEVY CRUZE, MY RADIO WILL SHUT OFF RANDOMLY FOR ABOUT 10 SECONDS, AND WHEN IT DOES, I LOSE COMPLETE CONTROL OF THE STEERING. IT IS LIKE THE CAR SHUTS OFF BUT WHEN THE RADIO TURNS BACK ON, THEN THE CAR WILL RESTORE POWER. VERY DANGEROUS AND SCARY!!! AND YET, THERE IS STILL NO RECALL FOR MY SPECIFIC VIN. ALSO, FOR TWO MORNINGS IN A ROW, I HAVE NOTICED A SMELL AND SOME SMOKE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. IT WILL ONLY DO IT FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES AND THE CAR WILL NOT OVERHEAT. I SWEAR IT IS ONE THING AFTER ANOTHER WITH THIS CAR.

CAR WILL NOT START. PUT KEY IN THE IGNITION AND IT WILL NOT TURN OVER. HAD MECHANIC COME AND CHECK OUT AND HE SAID THE IGNITION SWITCH IS NOT GETTING THE POWER IT SUPPOSED TO ONE CORE READS 12 VOLTS THE OTHER 6 AND THEY BOTH SUPPOSE TO READ 12 VOLTS TO TURN IT OVER.

A WEEK OR SO AGO WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON THE INTERSTATE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WENT DARK AND THE DISPLAY IN THE CENTER OF IT COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. I FINISHED THE REMAINING 30 MINS. OF MY DRIVE WITHOUT IT RETURNING TO NORMAL(LIGHTS OFF DISPLAY REMAINED OFF). I DIDN'T HAVE ANY MORE ISSUES UNTIL TODAY. THIS AFTERNOON I DROVE TO A FAMILY GET TOGETHER AND WHILE STILL IN THE CITY MY INSTRUMENT CLUSTER PLUS MY RADIO DISPLAY STARTED TO RANDOMLY SHUT OFF THEN COME BACK ON AFTER A SECOND OR TWO SOMETIMES CONTINUOUSLY FOR 10-20 SECONDS AND ONCE FOR AROUND 30 SECONDS. EACH TIME THEY WENT OFF THE SPEAKERS WOULD SHUT OFF TOO AND I'M NOT SURE IF THE TURN SIGNALS WORKED DUE TO THE LACK OF A DISPLAY AND AUDIO. ONE INSTANCE I ALSO ENCOUNTERED EITHER REDUCED POWER STEERING OR COMPLETE LOSS OF IT FOR SEVERAL SECONDS WHILE LOSING POWER TO THE DISPLAYS AND REGAINING IT APPROXIMATELY 15 TIMES OVER ABOUT A 30 SECOND TIMEFRAME. AFTER THAT I GOT A STABILITRAK MESSAGE BUT STEERING WAS NORMAL FOR THE REST OF THE DRIVE. HOWEVER THE CLUSTER, RADIO DISPLAY, SPEAKERS, ETC. CONTINUED TO RANDOMLY TURN OFF FOR A SECOND OR TWO THEN COME BACK ON. WHEN WE LEFT THE GATHERING WITHIN A MINUTE OF STARTING THE CAR(HADN'T EVEN MADE IT OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY) EVERYTHING STARTED SHUTTING DOWN THEN COMING BACK ON JUST LIKE EARLIER BUT STEERING WASN'T EFFECTED AGAIN AND NO STABILITRAK MESSAGE ON THE WAY HOME EITHER. TODAY THE DRIVE STARTED IN A CITY THEN WAS OPEN HIGHWAY FOR ABOUT 20 MINS. AND THE GATHERING WAS AT A HOUSE ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF A TOWN. THE LOSS OF POWER TO THE THINGS I MENTIONED ABOVE SEEMED TO BE COMPLETELY RANDOM AND WERE NOT EFFECTED BY SPEED, STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, OR OPEN HIGHWAY. THE ONE TIME STEERING WAS EFFECTED I WAS TAKING OFF AT A STOP LIGHT BUT IT'S HARD TO SAY IF THAT WAS A FACTOR SINCE NONE OF THE OTHER STOPS WERE.

Mileage: 75,000

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2012 CHEVROLET CRUZE. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE CONTACT WAS ALERTED BY ANOTHER MOTORIST THAT THERE WERE FLAMES UNDERNEATH HER VEHICLE. SHORTLY AFTER, THE CONTACT NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM THE VENTS AND THE SPEED WAS DECELERATING. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 133,000.

Mileage: 133,000

MY VEHICLE WILL SAY THE DRIVERS DOOR IS OPEN WHEN IT IS NOT, IT WILL SHUT OFF AND ON. THE ALARM SYSTEM GOES OFF WHEN EVER IT FEELS LIKE IT EVEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THERE IS NOTHING TO DO WHEN IT DOES THIS YOU JUST HAVE TO LET IT GO OFF UNTIL IT STOPS. THE SPEED GAUGE CHANGES FROM WHAT THE NON DIGITAL ONE SAYS. AND THE ENGINE LIGHT SHUTS OFF AND ON WHEN YOU HIT A BUMP.

I JUST WANT TO START OFF BY SAYING WE PURCHASED THIS CAR BRAND NEW FROM KOCOUREK CHEVROLET IN WAUSAU, WI. DEC 2012 OR JAN 2013 BUMPER FELL OFF WITHIN 3 MONTHS OF PURCHASE WHILE DRIVING. YES, FELL OFF. THE DEALERSHIP WHERE WE PURCHASED THE CAR HESITANTLY REPLACED IT AS THE CLIPS WERE BROKE OFF. DEC 2012 TRUNK BUTTON DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY - HAS BEEN REPLACED MULTIPLE TIMES (BY KOCOUREK). AND NOT IT HAS RECENTLY ONCE IT OPENS, IT WILL NOT CLOSE DESPITE BEING SLAMMED SHUT 8 TO 10 TIMES. OCT 2012 HAD AN ANTIFREEZE LEAK FROM DAY ONE - DEALERSHIP TELLS US THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING EVEN WHEN POINTED OUT. I GO THOUGH A GALLON OF DEXOS ANTIFREEZE EVERY 2 WEEKS. BUT AS THE DEALERSHIP SAYS, THAT'S FINE AND NORMAL.... UM... NOT TO ME!!!! JAN 2018 - THE CAR STALLS OUT CONSTANTLY - REDUCED ENGINE POWER, WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, IN THE CITY OR EVEN JUST PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY. I HAVE BEEN VERY NEARLY REAR ENDED MULTIPLE TIMES BECAUSE OF THIS. WE HAVE YET TO FIND THE SOURCE OF THIS. JAN 2018 CODES FOR THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR ISSUES EVEN THOUGH IT HAS BEEN REPLACED MULTIPLE TIMES. STILL CAN'T FIND THE SOURCE OF THIS. DEC 2018 AFTER BEING STARTED, THE CAR WILL SHUT ITSELF OFF OR DIE OFF. STILL CANT FIND THE SOURCE. AUG 2018 RECENTLY, THE CAR HAS DASH WARNINGS THAT STATE "AC OFF DUE TO HIGH ENGINE TEMP" EVEN WHEN IT IS 30 DEGREES OUT. THE TEMP GAUGE WILL ALSO DROP TO COLD. WE HAVE ALSO CHANGED THE THERMOSTAT MULTIPLE TIMES AS WELL. THIS CAR IS BEYOND A LEMON. WE HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THIS CAR FROM DAY 1. AND WHAT IS MORE RIDICULOUS IS THAT THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT STAND BEHIND IT. I HAVE SERVICE RECORDS DOCUMENTING THE COMPLAINTS OF THE ISSUES AND THE DEALERSHIP "NOT FINDING ANYTHING WRONG" OR "UNABLE TO DUPLICATE ISSUES". WE HAVE GIVEN UP WITH CHEVY AND ALSO WITH KOCOUREK CHEVROLET IN WAUSAU. THESE ISSUES HAVE BEEN ONGOING SINCE WE PURCHASED THE CAR SEPTEMBER 2012.

MY VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND NO RUNNING. I ENTERED THE VEHICLE AND STARTED IT. THE SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT FLASHED THEN THE SERVICE STABILITRAK LIGHT FLASHED THE LIGHTS WENT AWAY AND THE VEHICLE DROVE FINE. SEVERAL DAYS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED UPON ENTERING MY DRIVEWAY IT STARTED TO SPUTTER. FOUR DAYS AFTER THAT UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE THE SAME LIGHTS CAME ON IN ADDITION TO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. NOW WHEN I START MY VEHICLE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON AND AFTER THE VEHICLE IS WARMED UP THE OTHER TWO LIGHTS COME ON AND THEN GO OFF. MY LATEST ONSTAR DIAGNOSTIC REPORTS A PROBLEM WITH THE ECM. I HAS BEEN ALMOST EXACTLY THREE YEARS TO THE DATE THAT THESE SAME THINGS HAPPENED AND WERE SUPPOSEDLY REPAIRED UNDER RECALL # 14801 AND SPECIAL COVERAGE # 14311B. PLEASE ADVISE.

THIS VEHICLE (CHEVY CRUZE 2012) IS THE WORST VEHICLE MADE POSSIBLE. THERE IS OIL LEAKS THAT HAVE BEEN FIXED THAT OCCUR AGAIN . THERE IS A COOLANT LEAK THAT WAS FIXED BY THE RADIATOR CONNECTOR. 15 MINUTES LATER OF DRIVING THE VEHICLE 2 MORE HOSES POPPED AND CAUSED THE COOLANT TO LEAK AGAIN. THE RADIATOR WENT BAD AND WAS CHANGED THE VEHICLE STILL OVER HEATED . THE THERMOSTAT WAS CHANGED AND THE VEHICLE WAS FINE FOR 2 DAYS. I GO TO START THE VEHICLE AND IT DOESN'T WANT TO TURN OVER . COME TO FIND OUT AT THE SAME MECHANIC THAT I HAD THE THERMOSTAT CHANGED APPARENTLY SAID THE HEAD GASKET WAS BLOWN . THEN SAYS THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE CYLINDER HEADS . SO ALL IN ALL . THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD OIL LEAKS , COOLANT LEAKS , ENGINE LIGHTS , RADIATOR ISSUES , CYLINDERR HEAD PROBLEMS , MISFIRING AND NOW A HEAD GASKET PROBLEM . THIS BRINGS A SAFETY ISSUE TO ME THAT WHILE I AM DRIVING MY CAR IS MISFIRING ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WHILE THERE IS TRAFFIC GOING ON AND TONS OF PEOPLE ON THE ROAD . I COULD POTENTIALLY BE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AND BECAUSE OF ALL OF THIS ELECTRICAL ISSUES THAT GM IS NOT CAPABLE OF MANUFACTURING CORRECTLY ON THESE VEHICLES (CHEVY CRUZE) MY CAR COULD OF BLEW UP WHILE DRIVING IT. I HAVE MY NIECES AND NEPHEWS IN THE CAR WHILE THE CAR SHAKES OUT OF NOWHERE WHICH COULD OF PUT THERE LIFE IN DANGER . CHEVY IS NO HELP WHAT SO EVER THEY ONLY WANT TO CHARGE TO EVEN LOOK AT A CAR THEY MANUFACTURED!!!! I ASK FOR HELP FROM THEM AND THEY SEEM SO CAREFREE . MY LIFE IS IN DANGER AND NO ONE CARES!! SOMEONE WILL DIE BY GM HANDS IF THIS ISSUE CANNOT BE CORRECTLY FIXED ON THESE VEHICLES . YOU GUYS ARE SELLING CARS THAT CAN KILL SOMEONE AND ONCE YOU GUYS ARE NOTIFIED OF THIS NO ONE CARES . ONCE THERE IS A LAWSUIT UNDER YOUR COMPANY THEN MAYBE YOU GUYS WILL TAKE THIS SERIOUS .

WHILE DRIVING IN THE CITY AT NIGHT, THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF, INCLUDING THE ENGINE AND ALL ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS WITHOUT ANY WARNINGS. THIS CAUSED ALL LIGHTS TO TURN OFF, LOSS OF POWER STEERING, POWER TO BRAKES, AND LITTLE TO CONTROL TO THE VEHICLE. LUCKILY, THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME NOTICED AND TAILED ME TO A STOP WITH THEIR WARNING LIGHTS. I THEN PROCEEDED TO OPEN THE ENGINE WITH A FLASHLIGHT TO DISCOVER THAT THE BATTERY WAS STILL PROPERLY CONNECTED (6 MONTHS OLD) WITH NO FRAYS OR CORROSION TO THE CONNECTORS OR WIRING. AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES ATTEMPTING TO FIND A TOW TRUCK COMPANY THE VEHICLE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM CAME BACK ON WITH NO INTERVENTION. I TURNED THE IGNITION SWITCH AND THE VEHICLE STARTED WITH NO ISSUES AND NO ENGINE LIGHTS ON. I DROVE IT THE REST OF THE WAY HOME WITH NO ISSUES. WHEN I GOT HOME I CHECKED ALL THE FUSES AND ALL WERE OPERABLE. THE OBD SCANNER FOUND NO CODES. I AM MID 30S 190IBS AND FAIRLY STRONG, I COULD ONLY IMAGINE IF THIS HAPPENED IN AN INTERSECTION OR DURING BUSY HOURS ON THE HIGHWAY, I WOULDN'T BE SITTING HERE REPORTING THIS ISSUE. I FOUND NUMEROUS SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON BLOGS CONCERNING THIS MODEL. I ASSUME NOT MANY HAVE REPORTED PROPERLY SINCE THERE IS NO RECALL ISSUED FOR THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.

INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM NOT WORKING. THE STEREO SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. IT WILL TURN ON OR OFF ON WITHOUT INPUT FROM A HUMAN. NOT HAVING A STEREO IS NOT A PROBLEM, BUT THE TURN SIGNALS AND HAZARD LIGHT CLICKING ARE NOT PRESENT WHEN THE RADIO IS NOT OPERATING. NOT HAVING AUDIO OF THE TURN SIGNALS REQUIRES THE DRIVER TO TAKE THEIR EYES OFF THE ROAD TO OBSERVE WHETHER EITHER TURN SIGNAL ARE OPERATING. THIS DRIVER HAS RIDDEN AROUND WITH A TURN SIGNAL FOR SOME LENGTHS OF TIME, POSSIBLY CONFUSING OTHER DRIVERS. THE RADIO AND VEHICLE DINGS AND CLICKS SHOULD BE INDEPENDENT FOR SAFETY ALERTS.

WITHOUT ANY PREVIOUS PROBLEMS BEFORE THIS DAY.. MY TRANSMISSION WENT OUT WITH ONLY 80,000 MILES ON JUNE 7, 2018. BEING ON A BUSY 2 LANE, CURVY HIGHWAY, MY CAR JUST COMPLETELY WENT OUT OF GEAR AND THANKFULLY I WAS ABLE CRUISE OFF TO THE SIDE. A FEW MINUTES LATER AN ALERT THAN CAME UP ON MY DASH AND SAID "TRANSMISSION HOT, IDLE ENGINE". I HAD BOUGHT THIS CAR IN 2014 WITH ONLY ONE PREVIOUS OWNER THAT TOOK REALLY GOOD CARE OF IT. IT IS RIDICULOUS FOR MY TRANSMISSION TO GO OUT WITH SUCH LOW MILEAGE AND TO HAVE TO PAY $5,000 FOR A NEW ONE AND PLUS THE CAR PAYMENTS I STILL HAVE ON IT. UNFORTUNATELY, I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON TO HAVE THIS ISSUE. THERE ARE MANY OTHERS. JUST BECAUSE THEY LOOK NICE DOESN'T MEAN IT WILL LAST LONG.

MY CAR IS VERY DANGEROUS! SHUTS OFF WHILE ON FREEWAY! JERKS FORWARD WHILE ON BRAKES, CAUSED AN ACCIDENT! CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT WORK! ELECTRICAL THINGS FLASHING ALL THE TIME! JERKS AND LOCKS UP ALL 4 WHEELS WHILE DRIVING! JUST TODAY IS SHUT DOWN ON THE HIGHWAY I STRUGGLED TO GET IT HOME WHILE THE RPM'S WERE UP ABOVE 6! YOU NAME IT, IT HAS IT. THINK THERE SHOULD BE A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST THE MAKERS OF THIS VEHICLE!! CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT!!!!!

IT HAS BEEN A KNOWN ISSUE ALL OVER THE INTERNET THAT THE 2012 CRUISE HAS HAD A PROBLEM WITH ITS ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. ALONG WITH MYSELF MANY OTHERS HAVE NOTED THAT WHILE DRIVING THE CARS ELECTRICAL SYSTEM GOES OUT DISABLING THE POWER STEERING, RADIO, GAS, ANYTHING TIED IN WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. THIS HAS CAUSED MANY ACCIDENTS AND HAS NEARLY CAUSED MY SIGNIFICANT OTHER AND MYSELF ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS TO NEARLY RUN INTO A POLE OR DITCH. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD NOT ONLY TO THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE BUT TO OTHER VEHICLES OR PEDESTRIANS.

AS I WAS DRIVING MY RADIO STARTED GOING ON AND OFF THEN CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF STEERING WHILE WENT STIFF TO THE LEFT AND LOCKED AS I WAS ON THE ROAD SCARED THE LIVING SPIRIT OUT OF ME WAS THE SCARIEST EXPERIENCES LUCKLY I WAS ALONE WITHOUT MY KIDS BECAUSE THAT COULD OF BEEN A FATAL ACCIDENT. IN WAS VERY LUCKY IT WAS NOT A BUSY MORNING THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPEN AND I WAS ABLE TO KEEP TO LEFT UNTIL CAR CAME TO A STOP AT THE CURVE. THIS HAS HAPPEN TO ME MORE THAN ONCE THAT I STOPPED DRIVING CAR STOPPED PAYING IT BECAUSE IT WAS A LEMON SO MANY THINGS WENT WRONG 3MNTHS AFTER BUYING CAR AT USED DEALERS I FELT CHEATED AND STUCK I EVEN LOST MY JOB BECAUSE I WASNT ABLE TO GET TO WORK ON TIME OR AT ALL AT TIMES BECAUSE OF CAR PROBLEMS

WHILE DRIVING THE RADIO AND OTHER INTERIOR LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING ON AND OFF. NOW ALONG WITH THAT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON, THE SERVICE STABILTRAC IS ON AND IT WILL LOOSE STEERING ASSIST AT TIMES. TODAY IT STARTED DYING WHEN TAKING OFF AND AT INTERSECTIONS.I HAVE SPOKEN TO A FEW DIFFRENT TECHS AND A COUPLE DIFFRENT SHOPS ON THIS MATTER AND NOBODY HAS ANY ANSWERS AS TO WHAT IT IS THEY ALL HAVE SAID THAT THEY HAVE SEVERAL DOING THE SAME THING AND CAN NOT FIGURE THEM OUT.

Mileage: 73,254

WHILE DRIVING, ON AT LEAST FOUR OCCASIONS, I HAVE LOST POWER COMPLETELY, CAUSING ALL ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONINGS TO STOP, MAKING ME LOSE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE, CAUSING MY LIGHTS TO SHUT OFF, AND ALL OTHER FUNCTIONALITIES OF THE CAR, BESIDES STEERING AND USING INERTIA, RESULTING IN PULLING OVER WITHOUT ENDANGERING MYSELF OR OTHER DRIVERS. THERE ALSO SEEMS TO BE A SKIPPING OR JUMPING INVOLVING THE FUEL INJECTION WHEN ACCELERATING, WHICH MAKES SPEED REGULATION IRREGULAR, SPORADIC, AND DOES NOT ALLOW THE DRIVER TO MAKE ACCURATE JUDGEMENTS ON THE CARS CAPABILITIES CONCERNING TIMING AND DISTANCE TO OTHER DRIVERS. RECENTLY, I WAS IN MOTION DRIVING THROUGH CHATANOOGA, TN, WHERE IT IS MOUNTAINOUS AND HAS STEEP HILLS, DURING NIGHTTIME, SO VISIBILITY WAS LESSENED, AND DANGER, DUE TO THE TYPE OF ROAD IT WAS, WAS INCREASED. WHILE GOING DOWNHILL, LUCKILY, WITH OTHER CARS AROUND ME TRAVELING AT 70 MPH, MY CAR JUST SHUT OFF, COMPLETELY. I LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE, MY LIGHTS SHUT OFF, ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT WITH THE CARS AROUND ME. LUCKILY, I PULLED ONTO THE SHOULDER WITHOUT ANY DAMAGES. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN, ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO, AT A STOP LIGHT. I BEGAN TO ACCELERATE, AND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION, MY CAR SHUT OFF, I HAD TO COAST OFF OF THE ROAD, LOST ALL ACCELERATION, AND AGAIN ALMOST WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT.

Mileage: 105,000

THE CAR SAYS IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER "ENGINE LOOSES POWER" AND TO "SERVICE STABILITRAC." THEN I LOOSE ACCELERATION. I HAVE TO COAST TO THE SHOULDER SHUT THE CAR DOWN AND RESTART. IT HAPPENS MORE OFTEN ON THE FREEWAY WHICH IS SUPER SCARY. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME DRIVE.

HELLO, MY 2012 CHEVY CRUZE LTZ'S KEY FOB ISN'T BEING DETECTED BY MY VEHICLE. I'VE LOOKED IT UP AND ASKED AROUND AND EITHER NOBODY'S HEARD OF THE ISSUE OR DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO OTHER THAN TAKE IT TO A MECHANIC. THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME, BUT IT'S PAINSTAKING WHEN I CAN'T EVEN USE THE KEY FOB ONE MINUTE AND THEN THE NEXT IT WORKS FINE. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN STATIONARY SINCE THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURED.

WHILE BREAKING, USING THE BLINKER, TURNING, OR JUST DRIVING THE CAR WILL LOOSE POWER, SLOW THE CAR DOWN, THE RADIO LOOSES POWER, AND MY SERVICE STABLITKY TRACK, SERVICE POWER STEERING, ALONG WITH TRACTION CONTROL, ANTI-BREAKING LIGHTS, AND A FEW OTHER LIGHT WILL ALL COME BACK ON. IT WILL DO THIS RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING, IT SEEMS TO DO IT MORE FREQUENTLY WHEN COMING TO A STOP OR ACCELERATING. I HAD THIS SERVICED BACK IN FEBRUARY OF 2017 AND THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME I HAD ACID FROM MY BATTERY LEAKING INTO THE POSITIVE CABLE, SO I HAD ALL THE BATTERY AND BATTERY WIRES REPLACED. THIS TOOK CARE OF THE PROBLEM UNTIL A FEW WEEKS AGO. THIS IS HAPPENING MORE AND MORE OFTEN AND THE PROBLEM IS BECOMING WORSE. THIS IS A PERSISTENT PROBLEM WITH THE CHEVY CRUZES FROM THE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE AND CHEVY SEEMS TO BE DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT.

WHEN I TRY AND START MY CAR SOMETIME IT STALLS LIKE IT DOESN'T WANT TO CRANK UP AND WHEN I FINALLY DO GET IT CRANK THE EMERGENCY LIGHTS FLASH, POWER STEERING COMES ON THE SCREEN AND THEN WINDSHIELD WIPERS COME ON. I HAD THIS PROBLEM PREVIOUS A COUPLE MONTHS AGAIN TO WHERE WHEN I CRANK IT THE TRUNK CAME OPEN AND THE STABILITAK AND JERK AND OTHER THINGS WOULD POP UP. THEY PUT IT ON THE MACHINE AND IT SAID IT WAS MISFIRES SO I WENT AND GOT IT FIXED NOW IT'S HAPPENING AGAIN.

I RECENTLY HAD A DIAGNOSTIC DONE ON MY 2012 CHEVY CRUZE ECO 1.4 LITER. THE CODE READ AS P069E, FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE. I HAVE HAD ISSUE WITH THE INSTRUMENT PANEL NOT SHOWING ACCURATE FUEL LEVELS. SOMETIMES IF THE FUEL GOES BELOW HALF A TANK IT READS EMPTY FOR A FEW DAYS OR A WEEK, EVEN IF I FILL UP THE TANK IT STILL READS EMPTY. THIS CAN BE DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY ON LONG TRIPS AND I HAVE A LONG COMMUTE IN AND OUT OF DIFFERENT CITIES. I HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE SINCE I HAVE HAD THE CAR AT 1100 MILES WHEN I GOT IT. I CURRENTLY HAVE ABOUT 108000 MILES. I USED TO THINK IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP, BUT RECENTLY LEARNED IT COULD BE A FEW THINGS LIKE THE FUEL LINE PRESSURE SENSOR, FUEL PUMP MRA, WIRING, CIRCUIT ISSUES, OR THE FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE. AND THE FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE SEEMS TO BE THE MAIN ISSUE OR SO I HAVE HEARD. IT WOULD BE GREAT IF THIS COULD BE RESOLVED, IT IS NOT GOOD DRIVING AROUND WITH A DEFECTIVE FUEL SYSTEM.

MY DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT IN THE DASH WILL GO ON AND OFF. THE BLINKER WOULD GO ON AND OFF. AND AFTER READING ALL THE OTHER PEOPLE POSTINGS I SOON WILL BE HAVING MORE ISSUES WITH THE ELECTRICAL/RADIO/DASH ISSUES AND THE CAR SHUTTING DOWN AND POSSIBLE STEERING PROBLEMS..... THAT'S JUST GREAT! WHY HASN'T GM DONE ANYTHING ABOUT THIS? WHY IS IT THAT PEOPLE HAVE TO HAVE A RECK AND POSSIBLY DIE BEFORE GM FIXES THIS.....WE PAY A LOT A MONEY FOR THIS CARS AND THEY SHOULD LAST A LOT LONGER WITH OUT ISSUES.

I JUST BOUGHT MY CHEVY CRUZE ON DEC 18TH 2016 AND ON DEC 24TH 2016 MY CAR WOULDN'T START WHILE IN PARK, NO WARNING LIGHTS, NO PEEPING, NO NOTHING JUST WOULD NOT START, I WAITED A FEW MINUTES THEN IT STARTED. I DROVE ABOUT 10 OR MORE MILES TO MY DADS WAS THERE ABOUT 5 MINUTES GOT IN MY CAR TO LEAVE, SAME THING, WOULDN'T START, AGAIN NO PEEPING, NO WARNING LIGHTS NOTHING,WAITED ABOUT 3 TO 5 MINUTES AND IT STARTED. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, THEY TOLD METO BRING IT IN THE FOLLOWING SAT WHICH WAS DEC. 31, 2016, THE CAR STARTED THE REST OF THAT WEEK NO PROBLEM. TOOK THE CAR IN ON DEC. 31, 2016, THEY STILL HAVE MY CAR AND IT IS JANUARY 7TH, 2017, THEY CAN'T FIND WHAT IS WRONG. I HAVE SINCE DONE RESEARCH ON THIS CAR AND FOUND OUT IT IS THE MOST UNRELIABLE CAR OUT THERE. I DRIVE AN 82 YEAR OLD LADY TO HER APPOINTMENTS AND I CAN'T RISK BEING IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF CAR PROBLEMS. I GOT RID OF A 1994 FORD ESCORT BECAUSE OF IT BREAKING DOWN ALL THE TIME, NOW IT SOUNDS LIKE I JUST TRADED THAT IN FOR THE SAME [XXX] THING JUST A DIFFERENT MAKE AND MODEL. I AM NOT DEALING WITH IT, I'M TAKING THE CAR BACK ONE WAY OR THE OTHER. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN DEALERSHIP SELLING ME THIS CAR, SPECIFICALLY TOLD THEM I NEEDED A SAFE RELIABLE CAR AND THEY SELL ME THE WORST RATING CAR ON THE [XXX] LOT. NEVER EVER WILL I BUY A CHEVY OR A FORD AGAIN. WE WILL SEE HOW THE DEALER MAKES THIS RIGHT IF I GO BACK TO THEM OR GIVE THEM A GOOD REVIEW. IT HAS BEEN 7 DAYS NOW AND THEY STILL HAVE MY CAR AND EVERYDAY I'M TOLD THE SAME THING, DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, DON'T KNOW WHEN WE WILL GIVE YOU YOUR CAR BACK. MUCH LONGER DEALING WITH THIS AND THEY CAN TALK TO MY ATTORNEY. I DON'T WANT THE CAR BACK, TRADE IT IN OR GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK. THIS IS BULL.

STABILITRACK/TRACTION CONTROL ERROR MESSAGE APPEARS ON DASH. ALL ABS RELATED ICONS FLASH. SOMETIMES IT HAPPENS ONCE. SOMETIMES IT'S REPETITIVE UNTIL I TURN THE CAR OFF AND THEN TURN IT BACK ON. DOESN'T MATTER HOW FAST I'M GOING AND THE LONGER THE TRIP, THE MORE FREQUENT IT IS. BASED ON WHAT I'VE LEARNED ABOUT THIS, IT SHOULD BE COVERED BY SPECIAL COVERAGE 14311B BUT MY DEALERSHIP GIVES ME THE RUN AROUND AND ASKS SILLY QUESTIONS ABOUT IF MY BATTERY IS IN GOOD CONDITION AND IF I THINK I NEED A NEW ALTERNATOR. IF IT WAS THE BATTERY, THE RADIO/SPEAKERS WOULDN'T BE THE ONLY ITEM(S) THAT TURNED OFF. FROM WHAT I'M LEARNING, THIS PROBLEM GETS WORSE AND POWER STEERING OR FULL VEHICLE FUNCTION IS DIMINISHED OR GOES OFF COMPLETELY. NOT SURE WHAT MORE NEEDS TO HAPPEN TO CHEVY CUSTOMERS FOR CHEVY TO MAKE THIS A RECALL.

Mileage: 68,000

I NOTICED MY CAR WASN'T BEEPING WHEN I TRIED TO LOCK IT. I TRIED TO START MY CAR AND IT COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. I MANAGED TO GET MY HOOD OPEN AND DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY CABLES. IT WAS FINE FOR A FEW WEEKS THEN THE "CHECK STABILITRACK" WENT OFF AND MY CAR SHUT DOWN. I MADE IT TO MY DESTINATION AND IT SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY. I TRIED TO DISCONNECT IT AND EVEN THAT DIDN'T WORK. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION MANY HAD HAD THIS ISSUE AND IT'S NOT THE STABILITRAK ITS APPARENTLY THE GROUND CABLE TO THE BATTERY (BLACK CABLE). MY CAR WILL WORK BUT WILL OCCASIONALLY COMPLETELY RESET THE SYSTEM SO TRYING TO SAVE THE TIME OR DATE IS POINTLESS. I WANT THIS INVESTIGATED!

THIS IS THE SECOND COMPLAINT THAT OUR GOVERNMENT REFUSES TO INVESTIGATE FOR THE GOVERNMENT MOTORS CHEVROLET CRUZ VEHICLE. WHILE DRIVING, THE RADIO WILL START TO POWER CYCLE AND THE DASH BOARD INSTRUMENT PANEL WILL ALSO START FLASHING ON AND OFF. THE VEHICLE WILL ALSO SHUT COMPLETELY OFF WHILE DRIVING. THIS WILL CONTINUE UNTIL YOU REMOVE BATTERY TERMINALS AND THEN REATTACH. THIS IS HAPPENING TO MANY CHEVY CRUZ'S AND THE NHTSA REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I WOULD UPLOAD VIDEOS BUT THIS ANTIQUATED GOVERNMENT SITE DOESN'T WANT TO SEE REAL FACTS

THE CAR WILL NOT TURN OFF WHEN THE KEY IS TURNED OFF AND REMOVED. IT WILL JUST SIT THERE AND RUN UNTIL IT DECIDES TO QUIT ON IT'S OWN.

I WAS STUCK INSIDE UNTIL AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES, THE CAR UNLOCKED EVERYTHING AND THE ECU TURNED BACK ON. I'VE HAD TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE FOR THIS PROBLEM AND THEY HAVE TOLD ME IT'S COVERED UNDER A "SPECIAL SERVICE" BUT THESE INCIDENTS HAPPENED ALMOST A YEAR APART.

I READ THE MANUEL AND FOLLOWED THE INSTRUCTIONS, TURNED OFF THE CAR, WAITED AND RESTARTED,BUT IT STILL WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. I CHECKED ONLINE FOR REPORTED PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR AND FOUND THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD I COULD TAKE THE CAR IN BUT WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR ANY REPAIRS BECAUSE THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM. A FEW DAYS LATER I STARTED THE CAR AND IT SEEMED FINE SO I TRIED DRIVING IT. IT WAS FINE FOR THE FIRST 15 MINUTES BUT THEN THE REDUCED ENGINE POWER LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AND THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE ONCE AGAIN. I HAD TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, TURN OFF THE CAR AND WAIT SEVERAL MINUTES TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE A SHORT DISTANCE BEFORE THE PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN. THANK GOD I WAS NOT ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED OR I COULD HAVE BEEN IN A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT. I CAN NOT BELIEVE THAT WITH SO MANY OWNERS REPORTING THE SAME PROBLEM THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL.

SOMETIMES WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE STABILITRACK DISPLAY WILL COME ON AND THIS CAN HAPPEN AT ANYTIME BUT USUALLY WHEN THE CAR IS GOING SLOW OR STOPPED, I FIRST NOTICED IT WHEN APPLYING THE BREAKS. THIS HOWEVER IS NOT THE EXTENT OF IT AS NOW WHEN I SHUT THE CAR OFF IT HAS KEPT MY KEYS AND WOULD NOT START EITHER. EVENTUALLY WHEN THIS HAS HAPPENED FORTUNATELY IT CAME BACK TO LIFE AND DISPLAYED A THEFT PROTECTION DISPLAY. I CALLED THE LOCAL GM DEALER WHO SERVICES MY CAR AND I WAS TOLD THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A PROBLEM HOWEVER WHEN I GO ONLINE THERE ARE DOZENS IF NOT HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS RELATED DIRECTLY TO THESE TYPE OF ISSUES WITH THE CHEVROLET CRUZE.

THIS CAN LAST FOR 5 MINUTES OR AS LONG AS A DAY OR MORE. I NOTICED ON AT LEAST TWO OCCASIONS, THE PROBLEMS STARTED ON VERY HUMID DAYS AT BOTH EARLY MORNING AND EVENING TIME FRAMES, AND NECESSARILY WHILE DRIVING IN RAIN. WHEN PROBLEM GETS EXTREMELY BAD, I USUALLY PULL OVER SOMEWHERE AND TAKE OFF THE "NEGATIVE" BATTERY CABLE FOR ABOUT 20 SECONDS USING A WRENCH I MUST CARRY IN THE VEHICLE, FORCING THE CONTROL MODULE OF THE VEHICLE TO RESET. THIS TEMPORARILY FIXES THE PROBLEM FOR AN UNDETERMINED AMOUNT OF TIME. THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT TO THE CHEVY DEALER AND THEY CLAIMED THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING NOR HAVE THEY EVER HEARD OF THE PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS WHILE VEHICLE IS MOVING OR STATIONERY. THIS PROBLEM ALSO OCCURS ON EXPRESSWAYS OR CITY STREETS. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURED IN MULTIPLE STATES(NORTH CAROLINA ALONG THE COAST AND IN CHICAGO AREA.

ADDITIONALLY, WHILE REVERSING AT VERY LOW MILEAGE, THE VEHICLE ABNORMALLY ACCELERATED AND REVERSED INTO A POLE. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE AWAY FROM THE SCENE WITHOUT ANY INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOUR TIMES HOWEVER, THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT BELIEVED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD A "MIND OF ITS OWN" AND WOULD ERRONEOUSLY PERFORM IN WAYS THAT IT WAS NOT DESIGNED. THE CONTACT REQUESTED THE BLUETOOTH BE REMOVED FROM THE VEHICLE AND INQUIRED ABOUT HAVING THE GPS REMOVED, AS SHE BELIEVED THAT THE TRANSMITTER WAS THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED, BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 38,000.

SINCE MARCH 2015, I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH AND I HAVE VIDEO EVIDENCE WHILE IN FAILURE MODE, OF WHAT I BELIEVE TO BE FAILURES OF THE BODY COMPUTER(S) IN THIS VEHICLE. THE DASHBOARD DISPLAYS HAVE BEEN GOING ON AND OFF UNDER A WIDE VARIETY OF DRIVING SITUATIONS, AND WHILE SITTING AT IDLE. THEY FAULT WHEN THE VEHICLE IS SIMPLY DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. MORE OFTEN I NOTICE IT WHEN UTILIZING TURN SIGNALS, HAZARD LIGHTS, AND BREAKING. DURING THESE FAULTS, THE CENTER INFORMATION DISPLAY FOR THE HVAC AND ENTERTAINMENT WILL FREQUENTLY TURN OFF. THIS KILLS THE RADIO. IT AT TIMES KILLS THE HVAC SYSTEMS AND THE TURN SIGNALS (AT LEAST THE NOISE FOR THE TURN SIGNAL INDICATORS). AT TIMES, THE CENTER DISPLAY ABOVE THE STEERING COLUMN WILL GO BLACK AND THEN DISPLAY A MESSAGE ABOUT THE STABILITRAK HAVING FAILED AND REQUIRING IT TO BE CHECKED OR THE ABS NEEDING TO BE SERVICED. THEN IT RETURNS TO NORMAL MODE. THE FREQUENCY HAS INCREASED TO EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE VEHICLE. ALSO ON AT LEAST 3 OCCASIONS THE ABS HAS ACTUALLY FAILED. ON ONE OF THOSE OCCASIONS, I HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE WHILE PARKING. THANKFULLY THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO EITHER VEHICLE. WHEN CONNECTING THE VEHICLE TO A DIAGNOSTIC DEVICE, NO ISSUES ARE INDICATED. I'M IN THE MILITARY IN GERMANY WHERE THE ROADS AND HIGHWAYS ARE EXTREMELY HILLY AND IT SNOWS HEAVILY. I'D RATHER NOT DIE IN AN ACCIDENT BEFORE THIS ISSUE IS RECTIFIED.

THIS OCCURRED ON APRIL 1, 2015 I BELIEVE. THE DRIVER'S FEET WERE ON THE FLOORBOARDS. NOT TOUCHING ANY PEDALS AT ALL. THE INCIDENT WAS STOPPED BY THE DRIVER FIRMLY PRESSING DOWN ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. WHEN SUFFICIENT VIDEO EVIDENCE IS ACCUMULATED ON THESE FAILURES THE VEHICLE WILL BE TAKEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP. LACKING ACTUAL DEMONSTRATIVE EVIDENCE OF THE FAILURES, THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT BE ABLE TO KNOW WHAT TO REPAIR OR REPLACE. THE CAR HAS A HISTORY OF DASH DISPLAY ISSUES. THE OWNER, A RETIRED LIBRARIAN/RESEARCHER FROM GENERAL MOTORS ADVANCED ENGINEERING STAFF AND THE R&D CENTER, HAS WORKED ON UNINTENDED ACCELERATION LEGAL CASES FOR THE COMPANY, AND HAS SUPPORTED LITIGATION DEFENSE WORK ON SUCH ISSUES WHILE AT THE COMPANY. HE IS STILL GATHERING EVIDENCE BUT FEELS THE NEED TO DOCUMENT THIS INCIDENT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE FOR NHTSA SHOULD AN ACCIDENT OCCUR TO HIM DUE TO THIS. IS A VERY HIGH RISK

MY CHEVY CRUZE HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING SIMILAR PROBLEMS FROM PAST REPAIRS AND WOULD SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. WHILE DRIVING THE CAR WOULD LOSE POWER, MULTIPLE WARNING LIGHTS WOULD FLASH ON THE DASH, THE CAR WOULD LOSE THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE AND THE DOORS WOULD UNLOCK WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES YESTERDAY (6/23/15): WHILE DRIVING OVER A BUMP AT A LOW SPEED AND WHILE MERGING ONTO THE FREEWAY AT ABOUT 60MPH. DURING YESTERDAY'S INCIDENT I HAD TO GO INTO THE EMERGENCY LANE AND PUT MY EMERGENCY LIGHTS ON AS MY CAR LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. THE CAR LOST POWER FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THE CAR WOULD GAIN POWER IMMEDIATELY AFTER. THERE HAVE BEEN TWO PRIOR INCIDENTS WHERE MY CAR HAS LOST COMPLETE POWER WHILE DRIVING, BOTH TIMES A SAFETY REPORT HAS BEEN FILED. THIS IS A VERY SCARY ISSUE AND HOPE THAT THIS DOES NOT OCCUR AGAIN.

THIS IS A VERY WELL KNOWN PROBLEM WITH CHEVY OWNERS. I HAVE DONE COUNTLESS HOURS OF RESEARCH AND SEEN HUNDREDS OF FORUMS AND ARTICLES RELATED EXACTLY TO THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE. NOW IT HAS TO BE BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO ISSUE A RECALL. I OWN A 1.4L TURBO AUTOMATIC 2LT CHEVY CRUZE 2012. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE THE FIRST YEAR I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE HOWEVER IS GETTING MUCH WORSE. REDUCED ENGINE POWER. THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, A "!" SHOWS UP ON THE SCREEN AND THE CARS SPEED IS REDUCED TO 4 OR 5 MPH WITH IN A MATTER OF SECONDS. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MYSELF AS WELL AS HUNDREDS OF OTHER PEOPLE FROM WHAT THE INTERNET SAYS. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING SOME PEOPLE HAVE FAMILIES AND DRIVE WITH CHILDREN SUCH AS MYSELF ON HIGHWAY SYSTEMS. I EXPERIENCED THIS WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE INTO AN INTERSECTION AND GOT AN IMMEDIATE ENGINE SPEED REDUCTION. THIS COULD HAVE KILLED MY DAUGHTER AND I IF THE VEHICLES IN THE INTERSECTION WERE UNABLE TO STOP IN TIME.

ALSO MY WINDSHIELD WIPER BLADE ON THE DRIVER SIDE COMES OFF THE MOTOR CLIP THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHILE RAINING I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH OUT VISIBILITY. MY CAR THEN DECIDED NOT TO START AND WHEN I FINALLY GOT IT TO START IT TOLD MY AIRBAGS NEEDED SERVICING, MY POWER STEERING, ABS BRAKES, TRACTION CONTROL, AND STABILITRACK. THERE WAS NO CONTROL OF THE CAR. THAT HAD WENT AWAY AND WAS ABLE TO GET CAR SAFELY TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET IT SERVICED TODAY.

IT BEGAN TO MAKE THIS VERY LOUD NOISE LIKE IF I WAS DRIVING A TRAILER. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AN I WAS TOLD IT WAS NORMAL WHICH IS BS BECAUSE I'VE NEVER HEARD A SMALL CAR THAT MAKES NOISE LIKE THAT. I WASN'T ALLOWED TO GET REFUNDED I WAS JUST GIVEN A BUNCH OF BS. A MONTH LATER IT KEPT DOING THE SAME THING BUT THIS TIME THE NOISE WAS COMING FROM THE HOOD, TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND NOTHING. 3RD TIME I FILED A COMPLAINT AND SAID I WAS GOING TO FILE A LAWSUIT AND THE TOOK MY CAR IN AN APPARENTLY THEY HAD TO CHANGE MY RADIATOR, FAN, BRAKES ALONG WITH THE DISK. EVEN AFTER ALL THIS MY CAR CONTINUED DOING THE SAME THING BUT NOW IT TURNS OFF!! I TRIED TO TURN ON MY CAR THIS SATURDAY AND IT JUST WOULDN'T START. IT SAID SOMETHING ABOUT THEFT, I DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY AND THEN IT GAVE A MESSAGE ABOUT CHECK POWER STEERING! THIS WILL BE MY 5TH TIME TAKING IT IN! I THINK I HAVE GOTTEN RIPPED OFF!! I REGRET PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE!! NOW IM STUCK WITH A JACKED UP CAR AND A VERY HIGH CAR PAYMENT THAT IS NOT EVEN WORTH PAYING FOR. AND TO TOP IT OFF THE DEALER I PURCHASED IT FROM IS NO HELP!! THEY SEEM TO GET UPSET EVERY TIME YOU TAKE THE CAR AND TELL THEM THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH IT. IM A MOTHER OF 3 AND MY BIGGEST FEAR IS SOMETHING HAPPENING TO MY CHILDREN BECAUSE OF THIS.

BESIDES THE TRANSMISSION COMPLAINT I HAVE ALREADY MADE, I AM ALSO EXPERIENCING CONSTANT ELECTRICAL ISSUES. AN UPDATE WAS ALREADY RAN ON THE CAR'S COMPUTER FOR THIS COMPLAINT AND THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS LUBRICATED (HOPEFULLY THAT WILL PREVENT THE STEERING LOCK UP THAT OTHERS EXPERIENCE). NEITHER GM SOLUTION HAS PROVIDED AN END TO MY TROUBLE. DINGING WHEN KEYS AREN'T IN, CAR WON'T ALWAYS START, SERVICE THIS OR THAT DASH LIGHTS, RADIO DISPLAY GOES ON AND OFF, I CAN'T OPEN MY TRUNK WITHOUT THE PUSH BUTTON KEY FOB, THE STEERING IS NOW PULLING, AND ALSO THE HEADLIGHTS ARE NOW TURNING OFF AND ON WITHOUT MY HAND. THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS OF MY CAR, THINGS I SHOULD NEVER HAVE TO CONCERN MYSELF WITH...WHICH COULD LEAD TO ANY MALFUNCTION BUT THE CHEVROLET TECHS CAN NOT DIAGNOSE WHAT THEY SEE WITH THEIR OWN EYES BECAUSE THE COMPUTER OF THE CAR DOESN'T TELL THEM ANYTHING IS WRONG. AREN'T THERE ALTERNATE TROUBLESHOOTING METHODS INCLUDED WITH THE BLUEPRINT THEY DESIGNED BESIDES RELYING ON A POSSIBLY THIRD-PARTY CONTROL MODULE THAT ISN'T LOGGING ERRORS? I JUST HOPE I'M READY FOR WHATEVER HAPPENS AND THAT I CAN CONTROL A LOSS OF POWER WITHOUT SUFFERING INJURY TO MYSELF OR OTHERS. SCARY THINGS TO THINK ABOUT ON A 100 MILE ONE WAY, HIGHWAY SPEED COMMUTE. ALL OF THESE CARS SHOULD BE OVERHAULED OR REPLACED INSTEAD OF WAITING TO SEE WHICH ONE'S COMPUTER FROM WHICH LINE CRASHES FIRST BEFORE WE PUT OUT A RECALL. THESE ARE REAL SAFETY CONCERNS THAT ARE KILLING PEOPLE. CONCERNS THAT I CAN'T JUST TRADE OFF TO ANOTHER BLIND CONSUMER AND THEIR FAMILY. CONCERNS THAT EITHER CONSUMER OR MANUFACTURER HAVE TO PAY FOR.

IT USUALLY ONLY HAPPENS BRIEFLY AND WILL RETURN TO NORMAL SOON AFTER, BUT IT CONTINUES TO DO IT OFF AND ON UNTIL I PARK. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THIS OCCURRING WHEN I SHIFT GEARS TO PARK. MOST RECENTLY I WENT TO START MY CAR AND IT JUST CLICKED AND WOULDN'T START. I GOT IT TO START AND IT SAID "SERVICE ANTI THEFT DETERRENT," THEN CHANGED TO "SERVICE POWER STEERING" JUST AS I LOST POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING. "SERVICE STABILITRAK QUICKLY FLASHED NEXT ALL WHILE I LOST BLINKERS, POWER STEERING, AND RADIO. I PARKED, TURNED MY CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT AND IT WAS JUST FINE. IT HAS BEEN TO THE CHEVY DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES BUT THEY CANNOT GET A CODE TO READ BECAUSE THEY CAN'T GET THE RADIO TO FLICKER, ETC BECAUSE IT ONLY HAPPENS EVERY SO OFTEN BUT WHEN IT DOES HAPPEN IT IS SCARY! SO THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO TO FIX IT. PLEASE LOOK INTO IT AS I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR 2 MONTHS NOW AND I DO NOT FEEL LIKE THIS CAR IS RELIABLE WHICH IS THE REASON I BOUGHT IT! THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING THAT CAN BE DONE AS I HAVE READ SEVERAL COMPLAINTS THAT ARE EXTREMELY SIMILAR TO MINE! I ALSO HAVE COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THE PROBLEMS ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO WORSEN AFTER READING THE OTHER COMPLAINTS.IT IS A MAJOR PROBLEM. PLEASE DON'T WAIT UNTIL SOMETHING TRAGIC HAPPENS BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE ABOUT THIS! PLEASE![XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE ELECTRICAL CAME BACK ON AND THE DASH DISPLAY DEPICTED THE WARNING MESSAGE CHECK STABILITRAK. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR AND THEY SAID THAT HIGH VOLTAGE CODES C0800, 07 AND HIGH VOLTAGE HISTORY SHOWED UP ON THE SCOPE AND THERE WERE NO ISSUES. THE SECOND TIME THE LIGHTS ON THE RADIO DISPLAY BEGAN TO FLICKER AND THEN ALL ELECTRICAL POWER TO THE DASHBOARD, AIRBAGS AND THE ELECTRICALLY ASSISTED POWER STEERING WENT OUT, WHILE ON A VERY STEEP MOUNTAIN ROAD AND I HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE. THE ELECTRICAL CAME BACK ON AND THE DASH DISPLAY DEPICTED THE WARNING MESSAGE CHECK STABILITRAK.

I BOUGHT A 2012 CRUZE IN MARCH. IT RAN GREAT WHEN I TEST DROVE IT AND FOR THE FIRST COUPLE OF MONTHS. THEN AT THE 3RD MONTH WE STARTED TO HAVE PROBLEMS. IT HAS ABOUT 29000 MILES ON IT RIGHT NOW. ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE TIME/TEMP/DATE DISPLAY (ALONG WITH THE RADIO) STARTED BLACKING OUT. THEN A FEW TIMES THE "SERVICE POWER STEERING" WARNING LIGHT FLASHED ON AND OFF AND WE ACTUALLY LOST OUR POWER STEERING MOMENTARILY. VERY SCARY. THEN THE "SERVICE STABILITRAK" WARNING LIGHT FLASHED ON AND OFF AS WELL. AT THE SAME TIME THE TIME/TEMP/DATE BLACKS OUT AGAIN TOO. OUR CAR IS GM CERTIFIED AND STILL UNDER THE FACTORY WARRANTY, SO WE TOOK IT IN TO OUR LOCAL CHEVY DEALER. (WE DID NOT BUY IT FROM THEM, BUT IT IS CLOSER THAN THE PLACE WE BOUGHT IT) THEY HAVE TRIED AT LEAST 3 TIMES TO FIX IT SINCE THIS STARTED. BUT WHEN THEY DRIVE IT, NOTHING HAPPENS. IT ONLY DOES IT WHEN WE ARE DRIVING!. NOW THE CHEVY DEALER CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG ON THE COMPUTER, THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM WHEN THEY DRIVE IT. THEY REPLACED THE BRAKE MODULE. NO LUCK. AFTER ABOUT 3 WEEKS, THEY RETURNED THE CAR TO US LAST NIGHT AND SAID WE SHOULD GET RID OF IT. I AM COMPLETELY SHOCKED. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. THE SERVICE PERSON EVEN TOLD US TO TAKE IT BACK WHERE WE BOUGHT IT AND DEMAND THEY GIVE US A DIFFERENT CAR! I PICKED UP THE CAR LAST NIGHT AND THIS MORNING DROVE IT ABOUT 1 MILE AND THE TIME/TEMP DISPLAY WENT OUT AGAIN, EVEN LONGER THAN BEFORE. CAN'T HEAR THE BLINKER BLINK AND, THE "SERVICE STABILITRAK" LIGHT WENT ON AGAIN. PLEASE HELP! FORCE GM TO RECALL THESE. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. PART OF THE FRUSTRATION IS THAT THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE PERSONNEL SAID THEY CALLED GM AND THE ENGINEERS, AND OTHER DEALERSHIPS AND THEY SAID NONE OF THEM HAD EVER HAD THIS HAPPEN.

ON THIS PARTICULAR OCCURRENCE THE LIGHTS ON THE RADIO DISPLAY BEGAN TO FLICKER AND THEN ALL ELECTRICAL POWER TO THE DASHBOARD, AIRBAGS, AND THE ELECTRICALLY ASSISTED POWER STEERING WENT OUT.

THE ELECTRICAL CAME BACK ON AND THE DASH DISPLAY DEPICTED THE WARNING MESSAGE CHECK STABILITITRAK, OR WORDS TO THAT EFFECT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT NOTHING SHOWED UP ON THE SCOPE AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED TO MY GRAND DAUGHTER ON 07/09/2014 OUT IN COLORADO AS SHE IS USING THE VEHICLE FOR SCHOOL AND WORK. AGAIN THE DEALER STATES THERE IS NOTHING SHOWING UP ON THE SCOPE AND THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUE EVEN THOUGH SHE HAD HER FRIEND RECORD THE EVENT WITH THEIR CELL PHONE.

2012 CHEVROLET CRUZE. CONSUMER REQUESTS REIMBURSEMENT FOR VEHICLE DEFECT REPAIRS. *SMD ACCORDING TO THE INVOICE, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. THE DEALER REPLACED THE BATTERY AND FUSE BLOCK ON THE BATTERY.

-THE FOLLOWING SYMPTOMS OCCUR INTERMITTENTLY (APPROXIMATELY ONE TIME PER MONTH) -WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE ISSUE TYPICALLY BEGINS WITH THE CENTER RADIO DISPLAY AND SOUND FLICKERING ON AND OFF. -NEXT, VARIOUS ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS IN THE CAR BEGIN TO MALFUNCTION. THIS INCLUDES TRACTION CONTROL, POWER STEERING, HEADLIGHTS, TURN SIGNALS CRUISE CONTROL, WINDOW FUNCTIONS, AND BRAKE LIGHTS. -THE VEHICLE DOES NOT ONLY REPORT THE SYSTEM MALFUNCTION, BUT WILL ACTUALLY EXPERIENCE FAILURE (ETC, POWER STEERING IS ACTUALLY DISABLED IN THE CAR). POWER STEERING WAS ONCE LOST AT THE BOTTOM OF A SWITCHBACK IN THE MOUNTAINS. I NEARLY LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. -AFTER THIS ISSUE OCCURS, IF THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF IT WILL NOT RESTART FOR 30-60 MINUTES (UNLESS THE BATTERY IS DISCONNECTED AND RECONNECTED). -DURING THIS PERIOD IT WILL NOT RESTART, NONE OF THE ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS OF THE CAR WILL WORK (DOORS WILL NOT LOCK, WINDOWS WILL NOT MOVE, LIGHTS WILL NOT TURN ON, ETC). -ALSO, DURING THIS PERIOD I HAVE NOTICED A SOUND WITHIN THE DASHBOARD. THIS SOUNDS LIKE A SMALL ELECTRIC MOTOR RUNNING FOR APPROXIMATELY 60 SECONDS. *TR

SEVERAL TIMES NOW (USUALLY AFTER IT RAINS BUT PERSISTING LONG AFTER) I HAVE BEEN HAVING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH MY 2012 CHEVY CRUZE. AT RANDOM, THE RADIO LOSES POWER AND MAY COME BACK ON AUTOMATICALLY OR FLICKER CONTINUOUSLY. IT OCCASIONALLY HAPPENS WHEN I PRESS THE BRAKE, USE THE TURN SIGNAL, OR ROLL DOWN THE WINDOW. ABOUT EVERY 3RD TIME ON AVERAGE THAT I HAVE NOTICED THIS I ALSO SEE A MESSAGE COME ACROSS THE DISPLAY THAT SAYS "SERVICE STABILITRAK" OR OTHER RANDOM MESSAGES OR DASH LIGHTS. ONCE THE "POWER STEERING" NOTIFICATION CAME ON AND I COULD FEEL THE CAR LOSE POWER STEERING FOR ONLY A MOMENT. ONE OTHER THING THAT HAS HAPPENED WAS THAT MY HORN SOUNDED ALL ON IT'S OWN WHEN THE RADIO FLICKERED. I CALLED MY DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAD ME BRING MY CAR IN FOR TESTING AFTER THIS FIRST HAPPENED. THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR, AND AFTER THEY PERFORMED THESE TESTS MY CAR DID NOT MALFUNCTION AGAIN FOR QUITE A WHILE. IT IS SCARY DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN THIS HAPPENS BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF I AM LOSING POWER TO THE HEADLIGHTS/TAIL LIGHTS WHEN THIS IS HAPPENING, AND SINCE IT HAPPENS AT RANDOM I CAN'T JUST ASK SOMEONE IF IT IS HAPPENING. GLAD TO SEE OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM, BECAUSE THE PEOPLE AT THE CAR DEALERSHIP LOOKED AT ME LIKE I WAS INSANE :/ PLEASE HELP GM, PLEASE FIND WHAT IS CAUSING THESE SHORT CIRCUITS AND ISSUE A RECALL! *TR

RECENTLY, MY WIFE NOTICED THE RADIO WOULD CUT OFF AND A MONTH AGO SHE TOLD ME ABOUT AN ISSUE DEALING WITH THE STEERING. SHE SAID IT WOULD GET HARD TO CONTROL AND SOMETIMES ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE. ALSO, THE DASH INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON SYMBOLIZING THAT WE NEEDED TO CHECK THE STEERING. I BEGIN TO DRIVE THE CAR TO SEE WHAT WAS HAPPENING, NOTHING HAPPENED, UNTIL ABOUT 10 DAYS AGO IT HAPPEN TO ME. I HAVE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND ASKED IF THERE HAS BEEN ANY PROBLEMS LISTED WITH THE STEERING, I WAS TOLD NO BUT I SHOULD BRING IT IN SINCE I HAD A EXTENDED WARRANTY AND IT WOULD COST A $50 DEDUCTIBLE IF THE WARRANTY COVERED IT. I GOT ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND OUT THAT THERE IS A LIST OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AS OURS. I AM FEARFUL FOR MY WIFE AND GRANDCHILDREN. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE AUTOMOBILE AND SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE BY THE DEALER OR MANUFACTURE, TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM AND FROM WHAT I READ, NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS EXACTLY.

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK, ABOUT 15 MILES ON THE FREEWAY AT THE SPEED LIMIT WHICH IS 75 MPH. THE CAR WITH NO WARNING COMPLETELY SHUT ITSELF OFF. AS A RESULT, I LOST THE ABILITY TO STEER OR BRAKE. I WOULD ESTIMATE IT STAYED OFF FOR APPROXIMATELY 5 SECONDS BEFORE KICKING BACK ON, WITHOUT MY HAVING TO RESTART. I TREATED THIS AS AN ANOMALY. LAST WEEK ON MY WAY TO WORK, WHICH IS IN THE DARK AT 3AM, IT SHUT ITSELF OF 3 TIMES WITHIN 10 MILES OF A 70 MILE DRIVE. EACH TIME GIVING ME A SERVICE INDICATOR LIGHT OF SOME SORT ( SERVICE STABILITRAK, SERVICE ANTI THEFT...) I HAD NO STEERING, NO BREAKS AND NO LIGHTS. AGAIN THIS IS IN THE DARK!!

SINCE 11/13 TO PRESENT, I'VE BEEN EXPERIENCING INSTANCES WITH THE STABILITY TRAK ISSUES WITH THE RADIO TURNING ON/OFF FOR A FEW MINS; THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS WOULD BLINK AND GO DIM; IT HAPPENED OFTEN WHEN I'D USE THE DEFOGGER AND TRY TO LET THE WINDOW UP/DOWN AND IT WOULD ALSO DIM MY HEADLIGHTS (I NOTICED THAT IN THE EVENINGS) OR EVEN JUST USING THE TURN SIGNAL. RECENTLY I WAS HITTING THE HIGHWAY & THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT, THE DOORS UNLOCKED & THE MESSAGES WERE ON MY DASH. THERE'S ALSO A DARK RING AROUND MY STEERING WHEEL FOR THE AIRBAG THAT I BELIEVED TRIED TO OPEN. I HAD TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL WITH A LOT OF FORCE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO AVOID GETTING HIT FROM BEHIND. I TURNED THE CAR OFF & WAITED A FEW MINUTES & TURNED IT BACK ON. IT CAME BACK ON WITH NO ISSUES. THE NEXT DAY THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT AGAIN BUT THIS TIME I WAS IN THE DRIVEWAY AFTER ARRIVING HOME. BOTH TIMES THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED, I WAS USING MY AC. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP & WAS TOLD THAT THE CODES MAY NOT COME UP SINCE IT HAD ONLY HAPPENED 2 TIMES. I TOOK IT TO ADVANCE AUTO AND THEY PUT IT ON THEIR COMPUTER AND NO CODES SHOWED UP. I WAS TOLD BY THE PLACE THAT I PURCHASED MY CAR FROM TO WAIT FOR THE RECALL. I'VE BEEN CHECKING EVERY DAY SINCE THEN TO SEE IF THERE IS A RECALL FOR MY CAR BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO PAY FOR REPAIRS THAT SHOULD ALREADY BE ON THE RECALL LIST!

I SHOWED THEM A VIDEO OF WHAT HAPPENS TO THE RADIO AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO HELP ME. THEY DID HOWEVER NOTICE THAT A PREVIOUSLY RECALL DONE ON MY CAR HAD NOT BEEN FIXED BEFORE I PURCHASED IT. A FEW DAYS AFTER GETTING THE CAR BACK, THE LIGHTS STARTED TO FLICKER AGAIN. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY LET ME KNOW THAT THERE WAS NO POINT IN BRINGING IT IN UNLESS THE PROBLEM WAS CONSTANT. ABOUT A MONTH LATER, I WENT TO START MY CAR AND NOTHING. NO LIGHTS, NO ENGINE TURN OVER NOTHING. MY KEY WAS STUCK IN THE IGNITION AND WOULD NOT TURN.

OUR 2012 CHEVY CRUZE STARTED WITH THE RADIO TURNING "OFF" AND "ON" ON ITS OWN THE MONTH AFTER WE BOUGHT THE CAR. A MONTH LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN AS WELL AS LEFT MY WIFE STRANDED AT A STORE. CAR DIDN'T WANT TO TURN ON. I FIGURED IT MAY HAVE BEEN A BAD BATTERY. BEFORE I COULD EVEN "JUMP" THE VEHICLE, THE CAR GOT ALL POWER BACK ON WITH NO PROBLEM. THE 3RD TIME RADIO TURNED OFF AND ON ITS OWN AND THEN SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY WITH NO POWER TO VEHICLE AT THE SAME STORE NEAR MY WIFE'S WORK. I NOTICED NOTHING ELECTRICAL WORKED IN THE CAR, LIKE HAZARD LIGHTS, BRAKE LIGHTS, AND ANYTHING THAT SHOULD HAVE 12 VOLT CONSTANT POWER. I NOW CARRY A MULTIMETER IN THE CAR. ON A 400 MILE DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY I EXPERIENCE THE RADIO ISSUE AS WELL AS "STABILITRAC", AND MANY OTHER MALFUNCTION LIGHTS DISPLAYING ON AND OFF ON MY DASH WHILE DRIVING 75 MPH. I EVEN RECORDED THIS WHILE DRIVING. MY FAMILY AND I WERE ON VACATION AND WHILE DRIVING I LOST POWER STEERING THEN THE CAR SHUT DOWN AND LEFT US STRANDED WITH NO POWER AGAIN. WAIT ABOUT 10 TO 15 MINUTES, THE CAR WILL RETURN BACK TO NORMAL LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED. TOOK IT STRAIGHT TO THE DEALER RIGHT AT THAT MOMENT AND THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEMS. RETURNED HOME FROM VACATION AND IT ALL HAPPENED AGAIN IN TRAFFIC WHILE DRIVING. MY WIFE AND KIDS WERE IN THE CAR. I CALLED FOR A TOW TRUCK AND TOWED IT TO THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP IN TOWN. I LEFT IT WITH THEM FOR 4 DAYS AND THEY STILL COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. THIS CAR STILL CONTINUES TO TURN OFF TO THIS DAY AND I'VE ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR 6 MONTH NOW. I WON'T LET MY FAMILY IN THIS CAR. I HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED THE DOOR LOCKS, LOCK AND UNLOCK ON ITS OWN AND THE WIPERS ACTIVATED ON THERE OWN.

I WAS SITTING AT A STOPLIGHT TO TURN LEFT. AFTER THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I APPLIED PRESSURE TO THE GAS PEDAL AND NOTICED A SLIGHT LOSS OF POWER. AS I PROCEEDED THROUGH THE TURN I HAD DIFFICULTY TURNING AS THOUGH I HAD NO POWER STEERING. ONCE THROUGH THE TURN I STILL HAS NO POWER STEERING AND NOTED A MESSAGE ON THE DASH READING "SERVICE STEERING". I CONTROLLED THE CAR TO THE NEXT STOPLIGHT WHICH WAS APPROXIMATELY 1/2 MILE DURING WHICH TIME I STILL HAD NO POWER STEERING. AT THE STOP LIGHT I TURNED THE CAR OFF, AND STARTED IT AGAIN. AFTER RESTARTING THE CAR I HAD NO MORE PROBLEMS WITH THE STEERING. PRIOR TO THIS INSTANCE AND MULTIPLE TIMES FOLLOWING I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILING. IT USUALLY BEGINS WITH THE RADIO BOARD "BLINKING" OFF. BY BLINKING I MEAN THAT THE RADIO COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF AND THE RADIO DASH LIGHTS BLINK OFF AND ON UNTIL IT FINALLY RETURNS TO FULL POWER. BUT USUALLY ITS NOT A ONE TIME THING. THERE ARE TIMES WHERE THIS OCCURS EVERY 5 SECONDS UNTIL I'M ABLE TO PULL THE CAR OVER AND TURN IT OFF. WHILE THIS OCCURS I WILL GET A MESSAGE ON MY DASH CLUSTER SAYING TO "SERVICE STABILITRAC" ALONG WITH SEVERAL OTHER CLUSTER LIGHTS THAT BLINK. I HAVE TAKEN THIS CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED AND THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO REPRODUCE WHAT I'VE EXPERIENCED, AND SUCH THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIX ANYTHING.

THE FOLLOWING MORNING AFTER DRIVING THE CARE FOR APPROXIMATELY 20 MILES AND THEN STOPPING TO VISIT MY FATHER, THE CAR WOULD NOT START. THE CAR WAS TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY NOTICED A BURNT SMELL AND NO VOLTAGE TO BCM, THE REPAIR ORDER INDICATES THEY REPLACED UBEC AND OPERATED SYSTEM WAS ALL OK AT THAT TIME. *TR

Mileage: 29,250

AFTER STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN, I ATTEMPTED TO PROCEED THRU THE INTERSECTION WHEN THE CAR STARTING MISSING AND THEN STOPPED AND WOULD NOT START. CAR WAS TOWED TO PROGRESSIVE CHEVROLET AND THEY REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE. THIS IS WHAT THEY THOUGHT WAS THE PROBLEM AND IT WAS NOT. I WILL OPEN SEPARATE COMPLAINTS FOR EACH INCIDENT WITH THE CAR. *TR

STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN AND CAR STARTED MISSING WHEN ATTEMPTING TO GO THRU INTERSECTION. CAR STOPPED AND WOULD NOT START. CAR WAS TOWED TO SERPENTINI CHEVROLET IN STRONGSVILLE. THEY INDICATED THE CAR STARTED AT THEIR FACILITY BUT WAS GIVING THE SAME CODE (HECK Z - U0109) THAT PROGRESSIVE CHEVROLET IN CANTON HAD GOTTEN AND PROGRESSIVE REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE 3 DAYS PRIOR. SERPENTINI INDICATED THE CAR WAS FINE. I COMPLAINED TO PROGRESSIVE AND THEY HAD THE CAR TOWED FROM SERPENTINI BACK TO THEIR FACILITY. *TR

Mileage: 44,524

CAR TOWED FROM SERPENTINI TO PROGRESSIVE SINCE THE REPAIR THAT PROGRESSIVE COMPLETED A WEEK PRIOR DID NOT FIX THE EXISTING PROBLEM. CAR SHUTTING OFF AND NOT STARTING. PROGRESSIVE WIRING HARNESS TO UBEC HAS BAD CONNECTION DUE TO UBEC AND WIRING HARNESS CONNECTION STRIPPED OUT, NECESSARY TO REPLACE COMPLETE HARNESS. REMOVED UBEC, REPLACED FUSE BLOCK, MAIN BODY HARNESS, REQUIRED R&R OF BATTERY AND TRAY, EBCM, MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE BOOSTER, DASH COMPONENTS REMOVED/LOOSENED TO REMOVE BRAKE/GAS PEDAL BRACKET ASSEMBLY (HARNESS GROMMET INSTALLED BETWEEN BRACKET AND FIREWALL), R&R OF TRUNK PANELS, COMPLETE INTERIOR INCLUDING REAR SEATS, LOWERING HEADLINER. REPLACED BRAKE BOOSTER PUSHROD CLIP AND REAR SEAT SIDE BOLSTER CLIP WITH REPAIR. GM PAID FOR THE COST OF THIS REPAIR. ADDITIONAL ELECTRICAL ISSUES CONTINUE WITH CAR. WILL ADD AN ADDITIONAL COMPLAINT. *TR

CAR HAS ONGOING ISSUES WITH RADIO FLASHING, MULTIPLE ERRORS APPEARING ON THE DASH, BLINKERS HAVING SOUND ONE MINUTE AND NOT THE NEXT. WHEN THESE ISSUES OCCUR AND YOU ARE TURNING ON YOUR BRIGHT LIGHTS, THE RADIO DISCONTINUES PLAYING THEN STARTS AGAIN. SINCE THESE ISSUES ARE INTERMITTENT, I RECORDED THE ISSUES AND TOOK THE CAR TO PROGRESSIVE CHEVROLET. I SHOWED THEM THE VIDEO AND THE KEPT THE CAR AND TRIED TO RECREATE THE ISSUE. THEY INDICATED THEY WERE UNABLE TO RECREATE THE ISSUE AND DID NOT ADVISE ME THEY FIXED ANYTHING ON THE CAR. AFTER FILING A COMPLAINT WITH THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU, A GM REPRESENTATIVE ADVISED ME THAT PROGRESSIVE HAD REPLACED THE BRAKE VACUUM MICRO SWITCH DURING THIS VISIT. MY HUSBAND AND I WERE NEVER ADVISED OF THIS REPAIR. AFTER SPEAKING WITH THE GM REPRESENTATIVE, I CHECKED THE RECEIPT AND IT WAS LISTED AS BEING COMPLETED AT NO CHARGE. I FEEL WE WEREN'T ADVISED OF THIS REPAIR BECAUSE WE WERE ATTEMPTING TO TRADE THE CAR IN AND WERE NEGOTIATING WITH THEIR SALES TEAM. I DID NOT PURCHASE A CAR FROM THEM DUE TO THE VALUE THAT THEY WANTED TO GIVE ME ON THIS CAR. THE CAR WITH ALL OF THE PROBLEMS THAT THEY CANNOT FIX!! ONGOING ISSUES CONTINUE AND I HAVE BEEN ADVISED BY GM TO TAKE THE CAR BACK TO A DEALERSHIP AND HAVE THEM REVIEW THE CAR AGAIN. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT SCHEDULED FOR TOMORROW, MONDAY, MARCH 31, 2014. THIS ISSUE IS VERY DISTRACTING AND CAUSES A LOT OF STRESS ON THE INDIVIDUALS IN THE CAR! THE LIGHTS FLASHING AT NIGHT ARE BLINDING AND COULD TRULY CAUSE A PERSON TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. YOU WORRY WHAT IS NOT GOING TO WORK WHEN THIS IS TAKING PLACE. HELP IN DETERMINING WHAT IS CAUSING THESE PROBLEMS AND HAVING GM RECALL THESE CARS AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY IS NECESSARY! I AM SURE IT WILL SAVE LIVES! *TR

WHILE DRIVING ALL THE LIGHTS ARE COMING ON, THE DASHBOARD. THE BRAKE LIGHTS, SERVICE STABILITRAK LIGHT, AND THE ABS LIGHT AND THE RADIO BLINKS ON AND OFF AND THEN SOMETIMES THE RADIO STAYS OFF FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. I HAD TAKEN THE CARE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THEM TO CHECK IT AND THEY ADVISED ME IT WAS MY THERMOSTAT CAUSING THE ISSUE. THEY REPLACED THE THERMOSTAT WHICH WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND THE DEALERSHIP SAID EVERYTHING WAS OK TO GO. A WEEK LATER THE ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD CAME BACK ON AGAIN I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ADVISED ME THEY DIDN'T SEE ANY CODES READING THAT THERE WAS AND ISSUE. I SHOWED THEM THE PICTURES AND THE VIDEO THAT I CAPTURED WHILE THE CAR WAS DOING IT AND THEY ADVISED ME I HAD A ELECTRICAL PROBLEM BUT THEY CAN'T FIND IT. THE PROBLEM IS STILL AN ISSUE AND ITS STILL DOING THE SAME THING. *TR

I PURCHASED A USED CHEVY CRUZE, PREVIOUS RENTAL, FROM THE CHEVY DEALER ABOUT A MONTH AGO. WITHIN THE PAST WEEK I BEGAN TO HAVE INTERMITTENT ELECTRICAL ISSUES, WHICH STARTED WITH THE RADIO PANEL LIGHT FLASHING ON AND OFF AND THE RADIO WOULD ALSO TURN OFF FOR SEVERAL MINS AT A TIME. TODAY THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS PROGRESSED GREATLY, IMPACTING THE POWER STEALING AND I LOST POWER STEERING COMPLETELY WHILE DRIVING. IN ADDITION, MULTIPLE WARNING SIGNALS BEGAN TO FLASH: POWER STEERING, STABILINK, BRAKES AND SECURITY TRACTION CONTROL. THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING, THANKFULLY I WAS GOING AT A VERY LOW SPEED OTHERWISE THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A POTENTIAL SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS SITUATION AS I BRIEFLY LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR AND ALMOST CRASHED AT 10MPH (OR LESS.) THANKFULLY I WAS ALREADY ON MY WAY TO THE DEALER (1 MILES AWAY) FOR AN APPOINTMENT FOR SERVICING THAT I HAD PREVIOUSLY SCHEDULED DUE TO THIS ISSUE. ONCE I GOT TO THE DEALER THEY WERE ABLE TO SEE THE ISSUES FIRST HAND. I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND THEN THIS CAR COMPLETELY DIED. I LEFT THE CAR AT THE DEALER AND HOPE THIS ISSUE IS RESOLVED AND THE CAR IS SAFE TO DRIVE. HONESTY, I AM VERY NERVOUS TO DRIVE THE CAR IN FEAR THAT THE CAR IS UNSAFE AND THESE ISSUES WILL CONTINUE. *TR

CAR DRIVES FINE BUT INTERIOR LIGHTS GO OUT RADIO STARTS BLINKING AND SERVICE STABILITRAK, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, SERVICE ANTITHEFT, AND SERVICE POWER STEERING LIGHTS COME ON THE DASH. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY REPLACED THE BCM. THIS DID NOTHING 4 DAYS LATER IT ALL STARTED AGAIN. AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF EVERYTHING RESETS. ON SOME OCCASIONS THE ANTITHEFT STOPS THE CAR FROM STARTING BACK UP I HAVE TO LEAVE THE CAR SIT WITH THE KEY ON ENGINE OFF FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES THEN IT WILL START. THERE IS NO LOSS OF POWER IN THE ENGINE AND ALL THE GAUGES STILL WORK. WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKES THIS HAPPENS, OR WHEN I TRY TO ROLL DOWN THE WINDOW, OR EVEN WHEN IM JUST CRUISING DOWN THE STREET WITHOUT AND CHANGING SPEED OR ANYTHING IN THE CAR. *TR

WE HAVE VIDEO OF THE RADIO DISPLAY AREA GOING BLANK THEN COMING ON THEN GOING BLANK CONTINUALLY, IT TAKES OUT ALL SOUND I.E., RADIO, NAVIGATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS, BLINKER SOUND .. WHILE THROWING MULTIPLE ERROR CODES IN THE AREA FOR ODOMETER READING I.E., SERVICE STABILA TRACK, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL. THE USERS MANUAL TELLS YOU THAT IF SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAPPENS TO SHUT OFF THE CAR TO RESET THE CAR. IF YOU DO SHUT IT OFF OR STALL OUT THE CAR (MANUAL TRANSMISSION) EVERYTHING GOES DEAD. IT CANNOT BE ACCESSED BY ONSTAR (I CALLED THEM ON 2-19-2014 AND ASKED THEM TO DOCUMENT THAT THEY COULD NOT ACCESS THE CAR ... IT SIMPLY READ "ERROR" FOR THEM) THE FOB KEY HAS NO EFFECT, THERE IS NO STEERING, NO BRAKES, NO LIGHTS, NO NOTHING FOR 20 TO 45 MINUTES. SO IF IN TRAFFIC .. THE CAR SIMPLY BECOMES EITHER A ROAD BLOCK OR A TARGET. THE CAR HAS BEEN INTO 2 DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS AND EVEN WITH VIDEO OF THE INCIDENTS THEY SIMPLY SAY THEY CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG AND MAKE RIDICULOUS SUGGESTIONS. THE CAR AS IS, IS AN ACCIDENT OR WORSE WAITING TO HAPPEN. *TR!....UPDATED 07/31/14 *BF

ELECTRICAL ISSUES THAT INCLUDE LOSS OF POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING: WARNING INDICATORS WOULD FLASH ON AND OFF, SUCH AS "SERVICE STABILITRACK", "SERVICE POWER STEERING" AND "SERVICE ABS", WHILE DRIVING. RADIO BEGAN SHUTTING ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING. WHEN THE DISPLAY & RADIO SHUTS OFF, EVEN THE BLINKER WOULDN'T MAKE A SOUND. WHAT I FIND ALARMING IS DURING THESE EPISODES, THE POWER STEERING ACTUALLY FAILS FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. ON A 20 MINUTE DRIVE, I EXPERIENCED 4 FAILURES AND THE ABOVE ELECTRICAL ISSUES HAPPENING NON-STOP FOR THE DURATION OF THE TRIP. A DAY LATER, AS A TEST, I DROVE MY CAR AROUND MY NEIGHBORHOOD (LESS THAN A 1 MINUTE DRIVE) AND EXPERIENCED ALL THE SAME ISSUES, INCLUDING LOSS OF POWER STEERING. I HAVE SCHEDULED SERVICE WITH A DEALER. A SEARCH ON THE INTERNET SHOWS AN ALARMING NUMBER OF CHEVY CRUZE OWNER WITH THIS ISSUE, WHICH POINTS TO MANUFACTURING OR DESIGN DEFECT AND NOT WEAR & TEAR. LOSS OF POWER STEERING WHILE IN MOTION WOULD SEEM TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. *TR

IT BEGINS WITH THE RADIO BLINKING ON AND OFF WHEN THIS IS HAPPENING THERE ARE SEVERAL THINGS WE NOTICE THAT GOES ON IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL SUCH AS SIGNAL LIGHTS NO SOUND, SOMETIMES PUTTING THE WINDOW UP WILL TRIGGER THE WRENCH TO BE DISPLAYED, ALSO LOSS OF THE ABILITY TO TURN THE WHEEL. NO CRUISE CONTROL WHEN THE RADIO IS BLINKING. *TR

RECENTLY, CAR RADIO HAS BEEN FLICKERING ON AND OFF, ALONG WITH SERVICE NOTIFICATIONS OF STABILI TRAC, TRACTION CONTROL. CHEVY DEALER NOTIFIED, SERVICED CAR, FOUND NOTHING AND HAS NO EXPLANATION. TODAY, STOPPED AT A CORNER TO MAKE A RIGHT HAND TURN. AS I WAS ACCELERATING AT APPROX 2-3 MPH AROUND THE CORNER, THEN STEERING WAS LOST AND COULD NOT TURN THE CORNER. LOST ALL CONTROL OF CAR. VERY FORTUNATE THERE WAS NO DAMAGE OR INJURY TO ANYTHING OR ANYONE. SCARY INCIDENT THAT COULD OF HAD A WORSE OUTCOME. *TR

THE CENTER INFORMATION CENTER WITH THE RADIO BEGAN SHUTTING ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING. WHEN THE DISPLAY & RADIO SHUTS OFF, EVEN THE BLINKER WOULDN'T MAKE A SOUND. SOMETIMES DURING THIS A NOTIFICATION WOULD COME UP "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL" AND/OR "SERVICE STABILITRACK." I TRIED TROUBLESHOOTING IT MYSELF FOR A FEW DAYS. SOMETIMES THE BLINKER, SEAT WARMER, OR EVEN PLUGGING IN MY PHONE TO THE USB PORT SEEMED TO TRIGGER IT. I NOTICED THE VOLTAGE FLUCTUATING FROM 12.9 - 15.2V WHILE DRIVING OR AT A STOP. THE DAY THAT I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR REPAIR, ALL THE NOTIFICATION LIGHTS BEGAN TO BLINK AND THEN THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT DURING A LEFT TURN. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED BOTH BATTERY CABLES AND MENTIONED THAT THEY'VE HAD MANY OF THESE CARS IN WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. THE ISSUE APPEARED TO BE RESOLVED AND THE CAR WAS RUNNING GREAT, UNTIL YESTERDAY 1/15/14. EVERYTHING MENTIONED ABOVE, EXCEPT FOR THE POWER STEERING LOSS, IS HAPPENING AGAIN. IF YOU SEARCH THE INTERNET AND YOUTUBE, YOU'LL QUICKLY SEE THIS IS A GROWING PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED AND RECALLED. *TR

I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE ELECTRICAL INSIDE MY CAR CUTTING IN AND OUT, ALL ELECTRICAL TURNS OFF. SERVICE CHECKS COME ACROSS DASHBOARD FOR POWER STEERING, STABILITY CHECK CONTROL, AND TRACTION CONTROL. THE POWER STEERING HAS STOPPED WORKING AT TIMES AS WELL. I AM NOT SURE BUT IF YOU ARE TURNING IT APPEARS THAT THE TURN SIGNALS STOP WORKING FROM INSIDE THE VEHICLE. HEADLIGHTS ARE DIMMER THAN NORMAL WHEN IT CUTS IN AND OUT, IT FLICKERS WITH THE SHORTAGES. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THREE TIMES NOW. THE FIRST TIME THEY TIGHTENED A GROUND WIRE, THE SECOND TIME THEY COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM, THIRD TIME THEY REPLACED THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE, AND NOW I'M TAKING IT BACK A FOURTH TIME TO HAVE THE BODY CONTROL MODULE REPLACED. THIS PROBLEM CONTINUES TO GET WORSE. *TR

THE RADIO ELECTRICAL PANEL WOULD TURN ON & OFF INTERMITTENTLY, THEN THE DRIVERS GAUGE PANEL WOULD FLICKER. AFTER THE GAUGE PANEL FLICKERED, THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND THE POWER STEERING SHUT OFF. THEN THE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND THE TRACTION CONTROL STOPPED WORKING. THEN I WENT TO ROLL UP THE WINDOWS AND THE WHOLE DASH PANEL FLICKERED, THEN THE WINDOWS WOULD NOT ROLL UP. THERE APPEARS TO BE A SERIOUS ELECTRICAL PROBLEM IN THE VEHICLE SOMEWHERE. IT ACTS AS THOUGH THERE IS A SHORT IN THE WIRING HARNESS SOMEWHERE. I AM TAKING IT TO THE CHEVROLET DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTICS. *TR

THIS STARTED THIS WEEK, THE ELECTRICAL PARTS (RADIO, SPEAKERS, TURNING SIGNAL CLICKER, AC ETC) WILL CONSTANTLY FLICKER OFF THEN COME BACK ON AFTER ABOUT TEN SECONDS, EVERY TIME I HAVE THE CAR RUNNING. THE STABILITY WARNING WILL SOMETIMES GO ON BUT WILL EVENTUALLY GO OUT. THE SPECIFIC INCIDENT OCCURRED THE THE 27TH OF AUGUST WHEN I WENT TO TAKE A LEFT TURN, ON TO A HIGHWAY. WHEN I WENT TO MAKE A TURN MY POWER STEERING LOCKED UP AND ALMOST CAUSED ME TO HIT A PASSING CAR AND GET REAR ENDED. IT SPECIFICALLY LOCKED UP AT ABOUT TEN MILES AN HOUR WHILE PICKING UP SPEED. AFTER I RETURNED TO MY PARKING LOT IT LOCKED UP AGAIN AND CAUSED ME TO HIT A BARRIER, SLIGHTLY DAMAGING THE FRONT BUMPER. SINCE THEN MY POWER STEERING WILL SOMETIMES LOCK UP MAKING IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO TURN. *TT

THE TRUNK RELEASE SWITCH THAT IS LOCATED ON THE TRUNK OF THE VEHICLE DOES NOT WORK. THE ONLY WAY TO OPEN THE TRUNK IS BY USING THE KEYLESS ENTRY REMOTE. THOUGH THIS DOES NOT POSE A DIRECT THREAT TO SAFETY IT IS EXTREMELY INCONVENIENT DUE TO THE NEED FOR THE KEY JUST TO OPEN AN UNLOCKED VEHICLES TRUNK. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ONLY BEING ONE YEAR OLD WITH 50,000 MILES (SO THE WARRANTY IS OUT) AND THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING UNLESS I PAY FULL PRICE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON ORTEGA HIGHWAY WHICH IS A TWO LANE HIGHWAY AND IS A CONNECTOR ROAD FROM INLAND EMPIRE TO ORANGE COUNTY WITH NARROW LANES RUNNING THRU CLEVELAND NATIONAL FOREST, I WAS DRIVING WITH THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC AND THE CAR SUDDENLY SHUT OFF, STEERING WHEEL LOCKED, VARIOUS COMPUTER PANEL LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING AND THE CAR BECAME UNCONTROLLABLE TO THE POINT WHERE IT ALMOST WENT OVER CLIFF. THIS WAS THE MOST HORRIFIC EXPERIENCE AND LUCKY TO BE ALIVE. I HAVE CONTACTED GM DIRECTLY AND WILL CONTACT THE MEDIA IN THE EVENT I RECEIVE NO RESOLUTION. THE CAR IS A SAFETY HAZARD AT THIS POINT AND NOT DRIVABLE. SADLY I JUST PURCHASED THE CAR IN MARCH OF THIS YEAR.

WHILE DRIVING MY NEW CHEVY CRUZE I HAVE NOTICED THAT ONCE IN A WHILE I WILL GO TO ACCELERATE AND THE CAR WILL NOT GO. I'LL GET TO ABOUT 20MPH AND IT'S LIKE THE CAR DOESN'T KNOW I'M PUSHING THE PEDAL TO ACCELERATE. I CAN TELL THAT IS GETTING GAS AND THAT IT'S NOT THE TRANSMISSION BECAUSE IT DOESN'T MAKE A SOUND. IT JUST STOPS AT ABOUT 20MPH AND DOESN'T GO ANY FURTHER UNTIL I PUT THE PEDAL DOWN FURTHER, DOESN'T GO, THEN A LITTLE MORE THEN IT SUDDENLY ACCELERATES AND JERKS BECAUSE I HAVE THE PEDAL DOWN SO FAR. I'VE SEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THE WEBSITE AND I BELIEVE IT IS DUE TO A FAULTY TSP SENSOR. MY DEALER CANNOT FIND THE ISSUE BECAUSE THEY CAN NOT MAKE IT REOCCUR AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DOES NOT GO ON. THE LAST INCIDENT THAT HAPPENED WHILE I WAS MERGING ON TO I-55 SOUTH AND AS I WAS MERGING MY CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WITH A LINE OF CARS BEHIND ME AND A LINE OF CARS ON MY LEFT. VERY SCARY. WHEN I ASKED MY DEALER WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I GET INTO AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS I WAS JUST TOLD I HOPE THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN AND WHEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN TO BRING IT BACK. *TR

THIS CAR WOULD SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING SURGE/LUNGE FORWARD CREATING A SAFETY HAZARD TO ALL INCLUDING OTHER DRIVERS. I HAVE HAD IT BACK TO THE DEALER TWICE AND THEY HAVE CONFIRMED AND DUPLICATED MY OBSERVATIONS AND CONCERNS HOWEVER,AT FIRST THEY THOUGHT IT WAS ELECTRONIC AND THEN DECIDED TO REBUILD THE TRANSMISSION AFTER THEY FOUND METAL FRAGMENTS WITHIN THIS SEALED COMPONENT. THIS IS A BRAND NEW CAR SO WHY WOULD THEY NOT REPLACE THE CAR,GIVE BACK MY MONEY OR AT THE VERY LEAST REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION RATHER THAN REPAIR IT? THE CAR HAS NOW BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR 18 OF THE 40 SOMETHING DAYS THAT I HAVE OWNED IT AND ITS STILL THERE TODAY. I AM NOT CONVINCED THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS THE REAL PROBLEM AND I'M SKEPTICAL THAT GM TRULY KNOWS WHAT THE ISSUE IS. I WOULD BE INTERESTED TO KNOW IF OTHER CRUZE OWNERS ARE ALSO EXPERIENCING THIS SAFETY ISSUE? I AM ALSO DISAPPOINTED THAT GM DOESN'T SIMPLY RETURN THE FEW DOLLARS I HAVE INVESTED AND LET THIS CAR FLY OFF INTO THE SUNSET.

THERE IS A DIFFERENT MESSAGE THAT SAYS "IDLE ENGINE OVERHEATING," AT THIS POINT I AM VERY WORRIED AND I PULL OVER AND CALL THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP THAT I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM AND EXPLAIN WHAT HAS OCCURRED. I WAS ADVISED TO BRING THE CAR INTO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. SO, I START THE CAR UP AND BEGIN THE DRIVE OVER TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT IS ABOUT 15 MINUTES AWAY BECAUSE OF TRAFFIC. NOT THREE MINUTES INTO THE DRIVE I GET THE SAME MESSAGE "IDLE ENGINE OVERHEATING," I'M VERY NERVOUS BUT KEEP GOING AND ABOUT TWO MINUTES LATER I GET A NEW MESSAGE "SHUT ENGINE OFF ENGINE OVERHEATING." I CALL THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TELL ME THAT I AM CLOSE ENOUGH THAT I SHOULD JUST CONTINUE AND DRIVE TO THE DEALERSHIP. I GET ABOUT 200 YARDS FROM THE ENTRANCE OF THE DEALERSHIP AND MY ENGINE STARTS SMOKING. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR LESS THAN SEVEN MONTHS AND I BASICALLY ONLY USE IT TO DRIVE TO WORK AND SCHOOL.
