2013 CHEVROLET CRUZE Electronic Stability Control (esc) Problems

MY CAR KEPT SAYING "AC OFF DUE TO HIGH ENGINE HEAT" EVEN THOUGH MY CAR WAS NOT READING HOT WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THEN THE CAR WOULD START SMOKING AND BLOW A HOSE AND LIQUID WOULD BE EVERYWHERE. I HAD A BRAND NEW THERMOSTATE PUT IN AND IT STILL DOES THE SAME THING. ALSO A PREVIOUS RECALL ABOUT HOW THE TIRE COULD SEPRATE "TIRE ROD" IS STILL DOING IT AGAIN. I HAD 3 TRANSAXLE SEALS AND A TRANSMISSION SEAL, A MOTOR BLOWER FOR THE A.C ALL REPLACED WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR (STILL UNDER WARRENTY) OF OWNING THIS CAR. THE STABILITY TRACK WILL SHOW UP ON THE SCREEN. BUT I'M TIRED OF WORRYING WHEN MY CAR WILL WANT TO JUST RANDOMLY BLOW HOSES AND START SMOKING AND LEAVE ME STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD! I BOUGHT A CHEAP CAR TO GET ME TO WORK AND MY CRUZE IS SITTING!!

WHILE MY SON WAS DRIVING THE CAR ON THE HIGHWAY THE ENGINE STARTED TO SMOKE. HE PULLED OVER AND TURNED OFF THE CAR. HE WAITED 10 MINTUES AND STARTED THE CAR TO HEAD BACK HOME. WHEN HE ARRIVED HOME LIQUID WAS LEAKING OUT THE CAR AND THE CAR HAD SMOKE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. AT THIS TIME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. GM HAD SENT A RECALL NOTICE IN THE MAIL (N202299080), A COUPLE OF DAYS PRIOR. I CALLED THEM ON MONDAY AND THEY TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO A DEALER. I CALLED THE LOCAL CHEVY DEALER AND TOLD THEM ABOUT THE RECALL NOTICE. HE TOLD ME TO BRING IT IN. I CALLED A TOW TRUCK DRIVER AND LEFT THE CAR AT THE CHEVY DEALER. ATER THEY HAD THE CAR FOR TWO WEEKS, THEY EXPLAINED THAT IT WILL BE $2000 TO FIX THE VEHICLE, EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE CURRENTLY 4 RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE. I CALLED GM SEVERAL TIMES TO ASK HOW ARE THEY GOING TO RECTIFY THIS, WITH NO CALL-BACK. THE VEHICLE IS STILL AT THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP.

STABILITRAK AND BRAKE MALFUNCTION

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET CRUZE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO VIBRATE AND SHAKE ABNORMALLY. DURING THE FAILURE, THE STABILI-TRAC AND CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES WERE NOT DETERMINED. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

Mileage: 100,000

THE STABILITY CONTROL GOES OFF DUE TO A AIR LEAK IN THE AIR VALVE CAUSING LOSE OF STEERING POWER WHICH HAS OCCURED WHILE DRIVING THE STEERING WHEEL BECOMES IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER WHEN THIS HAPPENS

I HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH MY TURBO CHARGE SYSTEM(S) FOR A COUPLE YEARS. I HAVE BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO BE SERVICED SEVERAL TIMES AND THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS LATER I'M STILL HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. MY ENGINE LIGHT COMES OFF AND ON SO I HAD TO WAIT UNTIL THE HE LIGHT WAS ON FOR A DIAGNOSIS. I WAS THEN TOLD I NEEDED TO REPLACE MY TURBO BOOST SYSTEM. I HEN ASKED ABOUT THE PREVIOUS REPAIR TO MY TURBO SYSTEM I WAS TOLD THERE WAS MORE THAN ONE. THEN A STABILITRAK/ TRACTION POPS UP PERIODICALLY. ON JUNE 22, MY CAR WOULD NOT START, I COULD NOT REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION. THINKING IT WAS THE BATTERY, I GOT A JUMP AND PROCEEDED ON MY WAY. WHEN I WAS LEAVING MY DESTINATION, TO HAD TO JUMP START MY CAR AGAIN. THE ENGINE LIGHT ISN'T ON CURRENTLY , SO I AM UNABLE TO GET ANOTHER DIAGNOSIS. THIS HAS BEEN THE WORSE EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE. I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH CHEVROLET DIRECTLY OVER THE PAST COUPLE YEARS AND THEY PROVIDED ABSOLUTELY NO RESOLUTION. MY CAR ISN'T GAINING SPEED.. IT SEEMS TO HESITATE OFTEN AND RUNS EVEN WORSE WITH THE AC RUNNING. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER CHEVY PRODUCT NOR WILL I RECOMMEND THIS MAKE. CHEVY NEED TO MAKE THIS RIGHT. THESE CARS ARE PROVING TO BE DEFECTIVE AND THEY ARE PROVING THEY COULD CARELESS. CHEVY RECEIVED A SUBSTANTIAL STIMULUS PACKAGE, MAKE THINGS RIGHT WITH YOUR COMPANY. *TR

THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE LAST YEAR. I HAVE BEEN GETTING MESSAGES ON MY DASH WITH ERRORS SUCH AS SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL/SERVICE STABILITRAK. THE CAR SLOWS DOWN TO 5 SPEED AND IT STALLS /JERK WHEN DRIVING. THIS IS NOT SAFE AND I ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF IT. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE. TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A DIAGNOSIS CHECK AND WAS TOLD NOTHING SHOWED UP BUT A LOW BATTERY. I GOT THAT FIXED AND THE CAR IS STILL HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY/STREETS/EXPRESSWAYS WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR DECELERATED AND I GOT THE MESSAGE ENGINE POWER HAS BEEN REDUCED/SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL/SERVICE STABILITRAK AS WELL AS MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. BECAUSE OF THIS, I WAS FORCED TO PULLOVER WHILE ALMOST BEING HIT BY OTHER VEHICLES. THIS WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND SCARY FOR ME BECAUSE I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT HAPPENED AND IT COULD HAVE COST ME MY LIFE, AS WELL AS OTHERS. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO CHEVY AND FIRESTONE AUTO COMPLETE AND NO ONE KNOWS WHY THIS IS HAPPENING. *TR

Mileage: 110,000

I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT ISSUES WITH THE CAR SINCE I'VE HAD IT AND FIXED EVERYTHING THAT WAS WRONG WITH IT THE PALM CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP THAT SAID WAS WRONG WITH IT AND YET NOTHING HAS BEEN RESOLVED MY STABILITRAK CONTROL SERVICE SYSTEM LIGHT CAME ON ALONG WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AS THEY ARE FLASHING. I'M HAVING A VERY HARD TIME GETTING TRACTION I HAVE A 1 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AND I DON'T FEEL THAT THIS CAR IS SAFE FOR HER. I WANT THIS ISSUE LOOKED INTO I HAVE SPENT MONEY THAT I DON'T HAVE TO JUST TRY TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM AND YET IT'S NOT FIXED. *TR

Mileage: 140,000

I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR MULTIPLE TIMES TO GET IT FIXED. AS I AM DRIVING THE CAR THE RADIO TURNS OFF. THEN THE ENGINE ITSELF TURNS OFF. NOT ONLY THAT, AS I AM DRIVING IT THE STEERING WHEEL STOPS WORKING AND THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF. I HAVE SPENT OVER 7,000 DOLLARS IN REPAIRS AND I CAN NO LONGER AFFORD FOR REPAIRS. NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO OPEN AN INVESTIGATION ON THIS CAR AS MY LIFE SEEMS TO BE THREATENED AND NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHY THE CAR GOES ON AND OFF WHILE IN DRIVE. I ALMOST GOT IN A MAJOR HIGHWAY ACCIDENT BECAUSE IT TURNED OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING 60 MILES PER HOUR ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM AND HELP ME GET BACK TO A NORMAL CAR. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR ALMOST A 2 YEARS NOW. *TR

SERVICE STABLI TRAC AND SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL COME ON. CAR IS 'CHUGGING' WHEN IN MOTION AND THEN DIES. IGNITION COIL GET BURNT OUT. THIS IS NOW THE 3RD TIME IN A MONTH.

THE STABLIC TRACT, THE ENGINE, THE ENGINE SLOWS DOWN, THE POWER STEERING, THE ENGINE MODULE HAS BLOWED I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR DAY 1, I BOUGHT FROM JDA AUTOMOTIVE ON GARNERS FERRY ROAD. I HAVE BEEN TAKING CAR TO CHEVROLET IN COLUMBIA,SC HARBISON . THEY REPAIRED RECALLS BUT SOON AS REPAIR THEY SEND A SIGNAL TO CAR TO TEAR UP .THE CAR COME TO COMPLETE STOP CAUSING ME TO NEED NECK BRACE IT ALSO IS TEARING UP THE THREAD ON TIRES. AND PEOPLE ARE BLOWING HORN AND ALSO HITTING ME IN BACK EVERYWHERE I GO I HAVE TO USE EMERGENCY BLINKING LIGHTS.

I BOUGHT MY CAR FROM A USED CAR LOT IN MARCH. AFTER ABOUT 2 WEEKS, I STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL, AFTER A FEW MONTHS, THE CRUISE SWITCH HAD TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE IT STOPPED WORKING ALL TOGETHER. DURING THE TIME I'VE HAD THE VEHICLE, I'VE HAD TO REPLACE THE THERMOSTAT CONTROL, AS WELL AS A COIL IN THE ENGINE. FOR THE PAST 2-3 MONTHS OR SO, I'LL BE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND THE SERVICE STABILITY TRACK WILL SHOW UP, WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BLINKING. MY CAR WONT LET ME SPEED UP, AND IT WILL SLOWLY SLOW DOWN. IF I HAVE MY CRUISE ON WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE CAR'S RPM WILL SHOOT UP IN AN ATTEMPT TO GET BACK TO THE SPEED I HAD IT SET AT. AFTER ABOUT A MINUTE WITH THE LIGHTS ON, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL STOP BLINKING AND THE CAR WILL GO BACK TO NORMAL (THE TRACTION LIGHT WONT TURN OFF UNTIL I TURN OFF THE CAR). I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO MY MECHANIC, AND HIS COMPUTER SHOWS CODE UO100, WHICH IS "LOST COMMUNICATION WITH ENGINE CONTROL MODULE", WHICH IS A VERY GENERAL CODE AND COULD COME FROM ANYWHERE. HE CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. THE WIRES SEEM CONNECTED PROPERLY, AND EVERYTHING SEEMS FINE, OTHER THAN THE LIGHT ISSUE. IT HAPPENS WHILE I'M DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, AT ANY RANDOM MOMENT. IT OCCURS AT LEAST EVERY 3 DAYS, IF NOT EVERYDAY.

Mileage: 55,000

THE CAR WOULD BECOME HARD TO STEER AND CONTROL. ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL IN STABILITY CONTROL WARNING LIGHTS FLASHING. THIS HAPPENS WITHOUT WARNING CAN HAPPEN AT ANY SPEED HIGHWAY ORE CITY. THE TIMES THIS HAS OCCURRED WAS ON THE HIGHWAY. (THIS IS A TSB I LATER FOUND BUT THE COULD EASILY CAUSED A CRASH ON ACCIDENT)

Mileage: 52,000

MY CAR IS A DANGER THE ENGINE POWER SLOWS DOWN WHEN DRIVING CAUSING ANOTHER TO HIT IN THE BACK POWER STEERING LIGHT DISPLAYS, STABILIZE TRACT AND ENGINE POWER, I HAVE ALREADY HAD ONE HIT AND RUN ACCIDENT.I TOOK CAR TO CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP HARBISON RD COLUMBIA SC THEY JUST HALF REPAIR IT SOMEONE MAY DIE IF CAR CONTINUE TO POWER DOWN.

Mileage: 90,475

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

Mileage: 86,821

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

Mileage: 82,301

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

OK SO I NEEDED A NEW CAR AND WENT AND ENDED UP AT A NICE LOOKING USED CAR LOT AND FINANCED A 2013 CHEVY CRUZE LT. SINCE PURCHASING THE CAR. (AT THIS MOMENT I'VE ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR 23 DAYS) I HAD THE CAR LOOKED OVER BY MY MECHANIC AND EVERYTHING LOOKED GOOD AND FINE. AND SINCE DAY 1 THESE ARE THE RECALLS THAT HAVE BEEN MADE ON THIS VEHICLE BUT NOT FOR MY VIN BUT IS HAPPENING WITH THE CAR IN ORDER FROM WHEN FIRST NOTICED. FIRST I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND THE CAR JERKED FORWARD AND HONESTLY SCARED ME AS IT FELT LIKE I HAD JUST BEEN HIT BY THE CAR BEHIND ME. ( WHICH WASNT THE CASE AS I GOT OUT TO CHECK). WELL THEN AFTER A FEW DAYS IM ON THE INTERSTATA AND DECIDED TO USE THE SPEED CONTROL, AT FIRST IT WAS JUST LIKE YOU WOULD EXPECT IT TO BE BUT AFTER NOT EVEN 5 MINUTES THE CAR STARTS ACTING LIKE IN TAPPING AND RELEASING THE GAS AND WILL NOT STOP UNLESS SPEED CONTROL IS TURNED OFF OR STOPPED. SO THEN I RUN OVER A NAIL AND GO TO REPLACE THE TIRE AND THE MECHANIC LOOKS OVER THE CAR AGAIN AND BRING AN OIL LEAK TO MY ATTTENTION FROM THE OIL PAN AND SHOWN VISIBLE OIL ON THE GASKET. (ALREADY UNDER MY LIMITED DEALER WARRANTY). SO SINCE THEN I HAVE CHECKED THE OIL EVERY DAY JUST TO BE SURE IM NOT RUNNING LOW AND IT WASNT LOW. WELL LIKE A WEEK LATER I MAKE A DRIVE I HAVE ACTUALLY MADE IN THIS CAR ABOUT 6 TIMES ALREADY TO HAVE LUNCH WITH A FRIEND AND WHEN I GET THERE TURN THE CAR OFF AND THEN THE FRIEND IS 10 MIN AWAY SO I RESTART THE CAR FOR THE AC. DIDNT HAVE THE CAR BACK ON FOR 2 MIN AND THE CAR STARTED BEEPING WITH ENGINE OVERHEAT WARNING. TURNED THE CAR OFF AND POPPED HOOD TO CHECK AND FROM THE OVERHEATING I GUESS THERE WAS PRESSURE ON THE HOSE IT JUST POPPED THE HOSE FROM THE CLAMP AND COOLANT WENT EVERY WHERE. HAD BEEN AWAY FROM THE CAR AND CAR WAS COOLED AND ADDED MORE COOLANT TO IT. AND EVERYTHING IS FINE. WELL THEN THE NEXT NIGHT OUT OF NO WHERE THE HEAD GASKET BLEW

Mileage: 87,900

THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN GOING TO ANTI THEFT MODE AND TOOK IT IN THEY FOUND COOLANT RESERVOIR LEAKING THERMOSTAT LEAKING ALONG WITH THE DRIVE BELT HAS COOLANT ON IT CAUSING IT TO SQUEAK ACCORDING TO CHEVROLET CAR SEEMS LIKE WHEN I'M DRIVING IT IT FEELS LIKE ITS MOVING FWD ON IT'S ON WHEN I HAVE MY FOOT ON BRAKE AT A COMPLETE STOP. MY CAR IS AT 143,000 MILES ON IT

Mileage: 45,000

I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER WHERE I BOUGHT MY CAR BECAUSE MY STABILITRAK WAS TURNING ON AND OFF ON THEIR SELF SI I REPORT IT AND WHEN I WAS THERE THEY TOLD ME MY COOLANT HAD A LEAKING AND NEED TO BE REPLACED AS LONG SOME HOSE AND OTHER PARTS AS WATER PUMP THAT A WAS ALSO UNDER A RECALL TO BUT THEY CHARGED ME $ 697.95 WHERE THEY SHOULDN'T CUZ I WAS A RECALL COVER UNDER SPECIAL WARRANTY MY CAR HAVE SO I REPORT IT TO GM WHERE AN INVESTIGATION IS BEING DONE TO THEY CAN REFUND MY MONEY AND I HAVE PROOF OF ALL WAS DONE TO MY CAR BECAUSE I FEEL IS AN ABUSED TOWARD CHEVROLET JERSEY CITY, NJ DOINGVTHIS TO ME AND IMAGINE HOW MANY THEY ALREADY HAD DONE IT. SOMETHING NEED TO BE DONE IMMEDIATELY... IF PAPERWORK NEED TO BE PROVIDE I HAVE IT TO BE FAX.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET CRUZE. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE RESTARTED ITSELF IMMEDIATELY. IN ADDITION, THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY AND TRACTION CONTROL WARNING INDICATORS DISPLAYED TEMPORARILY. PELLEGRINO CHEVROLET IN WESTVILLE, NEW JERSEY WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS NO LONGER UNDER RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 97,000.

HELLO, THIS SUNDAY MY 2013 CHEVY CRUZE WHILE DRIVING AN ALERT CAME UP SAYING THAT ENGINE POWER REDUCED AND OTHER NOTICES. THE RESULT WAS THAT THE CAR LOST POWER. THANKFULLY I WAS ON A SIDE STREET AT THE TIME AT A SLOW SPEED. MOST OF MY DRIVING IS ON THE HIGHWAY AND IF THIS WOULD HAVE OCCURRED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHICH DID OCCUR TO SOME PEOPLE WHO POSTED ON CHEVY FORUMS IT COULD BE FATAL. GM WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THIS ISSUE AND WOULD NOT COVER THE COST TO REPAIR IT. THERE ARE MANY DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AT THIS GOOGLE SEARCH HTTPS://WWW.GOOGLE.COM/SEARCH?Q=CHEVY+CRUZE+THROTTLE+BODY+REDUCED+POWER&OQ=CHEVY+CRUZE+THROTTLE+BODY&AQS=CHROME.1.69I57J69I59J0L4.5323J0J7&SOURCEID=CHROME&IE=UTF-8 I FEEL LIKE GM SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THIS AND A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED SO THAT THIS DOES NOT CAUSE SERIOUS ACCIDENTS FOR OTHERS.

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR ON CITY STREET WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, IT LOST ALL POWER. THE CAR SLOWED DOWN AND I WAS STUCK IN A TURNING LANE AT A BUSY INTERSECTION.

Mileage: 90,000

DRIVING AND WHEN I HIT A BUM THE CAR STARTED TO GO SLOWLY

I AM WRITING ASKING FOR YOU TO LOOK INTO WHAT I CALL ENDANGERING TO MOTORIST IN OUR STATE, MORE SO OF A DANGER TO ME. I AM FORCED TO DRIVE W/ SOMETHING CONNECTED TO MY BODY, VEHICLE, OR ANYTHING THEY CAN POSSIBLY CONNECT TO A TOOL UTILIZED BY OUR LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES. THE TOOL IS USED TO DO UNDERCOVER WORK/INVESTIGATIONS WHICH I WAS TOLD IT'S USED BY SPECIAL INVESTIGATIONS FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. AS I AM DRIVING, I HAVE TO TELL THEM WHILE DRIVING NOT TO PUT THAT ON MY CAR, MOVE THAT OFF MY BRAKES (WHICH SOMETIMES MY VEHICLE WOULDN'T STOP I HAD TO PRESS DOWN ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR FOR IT TO STOP AND MY BRAKES AREN'T BAD, THEY EVEN HAVE SOMETHING SETUP TO WHEN I AM BREAKING, SLOWING DOWN AND ABOUT TO TURN THAT IT LOCKS UP MY BREAKS AND CAUSES THE CARE TO DO SOMETHING LIKE A JERK THING OR INSTANT STOP, THEY HAVE MOVED IT TO THE BACK OF MY CAR WHICH MOVES THE OPPOSITE WAY MY VEHICLE IS BEING STEERED AND IT SPINS OUT ONLY ON ONE TIRE). THEY HAVE CREATED AN ILLEGAL SETUP WHICH HAS DAMAGED MY VEHICLE THAT'S BEING REPAIRED TODAY. WHEN DRIVING THEY PLACE IT MY BRAKES WHICH SOMETIMES DON'T STOP, THEY HAVE OTHERS DRIVING AT THE SAME TIME AS I AM AND IT EFFECTS THE DRIVING OF OTHERS, THEY MOVE MY VEHICLE WHICH IS STEERED THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION I AM CONTROLLING IT, IT CAN CAUSE YOU TO CRASH, IT'S HUGE DISTRACTION. THE OTHER MOTORIST ON THE ROAD AS I AM HAVE TRIED HELPING SOME HAVE ADMITTED TO DRIVING W/ THIS CONNECTED TO THEM PURPOSELY AND ARE TO INTENTIONALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, THEY SAID IT'S A "GAME". WITH THE HELP OF SOME FROM THE LITTLE ROCK POLICE DEPARTMENT, AND FBI THEY ARE GIVEN THE WHERE ABOUT OF CERTAIN INDIVIDUALS AND THEY ARE TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THE SETUP ALONE CAN CAUSE YOU TO CRASH. I HAVE MOTORIST WHO SPOKE UP AND TRIED HELPING ME AS I AM ON THE HIGHWAY AND THOSE WHO ARE CONTROLLING IT, WHICH ARE INDIVIDUALS WHO WORK FOR OUR LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT.

IN PARK AT RANDOM TIMES THE SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL AND SERVICE STABILITRAK LIGHT WILL COME ON. THE CAR IS REAL SLUGGISH AT TAKE OF, I CAN NOT LEAVE A STOP SIGN WITH A CAR ANY LESS THAN 40-50 CAR LINKS AWAY WITHOUT FEAR OF GETTING HIT. WHEN THE SPEED FINALLY STARTS TO PICK UP IT SHIFTS ROUGH AT TIMES. THE CAR ALSO FEELS LIKE IT IS JUMPING WHEN IN DRIVE AND HOLDING THE BRAKE.

Mileage: 104,000

I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR IN WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THEY SAID IT WAS DUE TO A OIL CAP. I CALLED AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. SINCE THEN THE ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON AND OFF AND NOW THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT IS ON AND THE ENGINE REVS VERY HIGH.

MY CHEVY CRUZE STABILITY TRACK CONTROL SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS AND MY CAR LOSES POWER AND I LOSE STEERING CONTROL AND MUST PULL OVER ON THE FREEWAY. IT HAS HAPPENED 5 TIMES. PLUS MY STEREO GOES OUT. MY CHEVY DEALER SAID IT IS NOT COVERED BECAUSE MY WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. MUST PAY OVER $400 TO REPAIR THE FAULTY INDICATOR. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY PROBLEM BECAUSE IT CAN HAPPEN WHEN I AM ON THE FREEWAY GOING 65 MPH AND MY CAR DECELERATES DOWN TO 40 MPH AND I COULD CRASH? IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE ON THE FREEWAY AND THREE TIMES ON THE CITY STREET.

SINCE PURCHASING MY CAR IT HAS DONE STRANGE THINGS WITH WHAT I THOUGHT WAS THE BREAKS. WHEN STOPPING AT A LIGHT ETC.. THE CAR WILL JUMP FORWARD.. SOMETIMES ONLY ONCE AND OTHERS IT DOES IT OVER AND OVER UNTIL I ACCELERATE AGAIN. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED IT. DAVID MAUS IN SANDFORD FL. THE SERVICE TECH TOOK A RIDE WITH ME.. HE STATED THAT HE'S HEARD THIS FROM OTHER CHEVY CRUZE OWNERS AND IT'S JUST WHAT THESE CARS DO. IT DID DEMONSTRATE THE JUMPING, THRUSTING FORWARD WHILE THE SERVICE TECH WAS DRIVING. I WAS NOT HAPPY WITH THIS ANSWER BUT BELIEVED HE KNEW WHAT HE WAS TALKING ABOUT. YESTERDAY I GET IN MY CAR AND IT WILL HARDLY GO. THE SERVICE STABILTACK LIGHT WAS ON. THEN EVERY LIGHT ON THE DASH CAME ON. OBVIOUSLY I UNDERSTAND THINGS GO BAD ON CARS AS IT'S 4 YEARS OLD. BUT AFTER READING HUNDREDS OF THESE COMPLAINTS ONLINE I BELIEVE THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS THAT CAN BE DANGEROUS. AND IT'S UNBELIEVABLE TO ME THAT THERE IS NO RECALL AFTER ALL THE REPORTS AND COMPLAINTS. WHEN IT JUMPS HOPS THRUST FORWARD YOU NEVER KNOW IF IT'S GOING TO BE A LITTLE OR A LOT. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN ONGOING WITH NO HELP FROM THE CERTIFIED MECHANICS. I PUT THE DATE AS 2013 BECAUSE AS I SAID IT'S BEEN ON GOING AND NOW IT'S COMPLETELY BROKEN. WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED HAD THE MECHANICS HELPED ME IN 2013

WHILE DRIVING, POWER STEERING LOCKED UP, CAR TURNED OFF AND THEN BACK ON. THE RADIO TURNED OFF AND THEN BACK ON AND CLOSE DRIVER WINDOW LIT UP. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON 4 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS NOW. STEERING LOCKED UP WHILE ON I-95. RADIO ON AND OFF WHILE TURNING ONTO HIGHWAY AND WINDOW MESSAGE WHILE CAR WAS STATIONARY.

WHILE DRIVING TO WORK ON THE HIGHWAY MY RADIO WILL TURN OFF AND ON MULTIPLE TIMES AND MY STABILITY CONTROL WILL TURN OFF AND IT WILL BE HARD TO TURN THE VEHICAL. A WARNING COMES ON THE INFORMATION SCREEN SAYING CHECK STABILITY CONTROL AND ALSO CHECK POWER STEERING. IT HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES IT HAVE HAPPENED TODAY AS WELL AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE FEEDER

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY STEERING LOCKED UP. TWO DAY AFTER POWER STEERING LIGHT AND STABILLTRAK LIGHTS WERE ON

Mileage: 57,450

3/22 -- ON MY WAY TO WORK (A BRIEF 5-MILE DRIVE), THE 'CHECK ENGINE' LIGHT CAME ON AND A WARNING ABOUT THE STABILITRAK SYSTEM APPEARED ON MY DASHBOARD DISPLAY SCREEN. THE ENGINE POWER WAS AUTOMATICALLY REDUCED, AND MY CAR WOULD NOT GO BEYOND 25-30 MILES PER HOUR. FORTUNATELY, I HAD EXITED THE HIGHWAY AND HAD JUST TURNED LEFT ONTO A SURFACE STREET. AT THE TIME, IT WAS RAINING, BUT NOT HEAVILY. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT I HAD STARTED MY CAR THAT DAY, SO THE ENGINE WAS FRESH. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO WORK; HOWEVER, WHEN I LEFT WORK A COUPLE OF HOURS LATER, THE 'CHECK ENGINE' LIGHT AND STABILITRAK WARNING WERE STILL DISPLAYED. I DROVE STRAIGHT HOME. 3/23 -- WHEN I STARTED MY CAR, THE 'CHECK ENGINE' LIGHT AND STABILITRAK WARNING WERE STILL DISPLAYED. I RAN A COUPLE OF ERRANDS AROUND TOWN, AND NOTHING CHANGED. I DECIDED TO 'REST' MY CAR FOR A DAY OR TWO WHILE I RESEARCHED THE SITUATION AND FIGURED OUT A PLAN. 3/25 -- WHEN I STARTED MY CAR, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL ON, BUT THE STABILITRAK WARNING WAS GONE (I.E., MY DASHBOARD DISPLAY APPEARED AS IT NORMALLY WOULD, EXCEPT FOR THE 'CHECK ENGINE' LIGHT). AFTER I HAD DRIVEN MY CAR TO MAKE A COUPLE OF STOPS AROUND TOWN, THE STABILITRAK LIGHT CAME BACK ON. 3/26 -- THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS DISPLAYED AT ALL WHEN I STARTED MY CAR; I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR AROUND TOWN DURING THE MORNING WITH NO WARNING LIGHTS COMING BACK ON. 3/27 -- WHEN I DROVE TO WORK, THE 'CHECK ENGINE' LIGHT AND STABILITRAK WARNING WERE NOT ON WHEN I STARTED MY CAR; HOWEVER, THEY DID CAME BACK ON JUST AS I ARRIVED AT WORK (ABOUT 5 MINUTES AFTER I HAD STARTED MY CAR). FOR SAFETY REASONS, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE WARNING LIGHTS ARE DISPLAYED OR NOT, I HAVE TAKEN CARE TO DRIVE ONLY WHEN I ABSOLUTELY NEED TO, ONLY ON SURFACE STREETS, AND WITH MY SPEED AT OR BELOW 25 MPH. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY NOT SUSTAINABLE LONG-TERM.

I HAVE TWO COMPLAINTS ON MY VEHICLE, 1.SEVERAL TIMES THE VEHICLE WENT INTO A LOSS OF ENGINE POWER MODE WHERE IT WAS IN AN IDLE POSITION WITH NO ABILITY TO ACCELERATE, THE DISPLAY SHOWED LOSS OF ENGINE POWER, NO STABILTRACK AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THE VEHICLE WOULD TRANSITION TO A LOSS OF POWER MODE ON THE MAIN ROAD, I HAD TO TURN THE ENGINE OFF, WAIT ABOUT 60 SECONDS AND RESTART, MY POWER WAS RESTORED, THIS HAPPENED ON 3 OCCASIONS. 2. THE SECOND COMPLAINT IS REGARDING THE LOW COOLANT LEVEL, I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO A CERTIFIED DEALER AND THEY PUT THE COOLANT SYSTEM UNDER PRESSURE AND DETECTED NO LEAK, THEY ADDED COOLANT SINCE IT WAS VERY LOW AND ASKED ME TO LEAVE THE CAR WITH THEM FOR A DAY OR TWO AND SUGGESTED IT MAY BE THE RADIATOR. I REFUSED AND ASKED THEM TO ADD A DYE TO THE SYSTEM THAT WOULD INDICATE THE LEAK PATH AND I WOULD RETURN THE NEXT DAY, THEY REFUSED.

WHILE DRIVING RADIO CUTS IN AND OUT FOR 5-10 SECONDS, THE INFOTAINMENT SCREEN GOES BLANK, THE SERVICE STABILITRAK LIGHT FLASHES, OTHER WARNING LIGHTS FLASH, AND YOU HAVE TO RAISE THE DRIVER'S WINDOW DOWN AND BACK UP FOR THE INFORMATION SCREEN TO SHOW YOUR SPEED AND MILEAGE WHEN STARTING THE CAR. APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE AND ITS ASHAMED THAT GM HAS NOT RECALLED THIS VEHICLE TO FIX THESE ISSUES. HOPEFULLY THEY WILL SOON BEFORE SOMETHING AWFUL HAPPENS TO INNOCENT PEOPLE. BOUGHT THE CAR USED FROM A CAR DEALERSHIP AT A GOOD DEAL, GUESS I KNOW WHY NOW.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET CRUZE. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND THE POWER STEERING AND SERVICE STABILITRAC WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000.

"TAKATA RECALL" WE WERE GOING TO CHURCH ON SUNDAY MORNING , IT WAS A RAINING DAY , I WAS DRIVING AT 35-38 MPH IN A ZONE 40 MPH . I WAS APPROACHING TO A CURVE WHEN I INTENDED TO BRAKE, THE CAR SLIPPED TO THE LEFT ALL THE WAY , IT DONT BRAKED, IT DONT TURN ON THE SENSOR TO STABILIZE THE CAR AND THE MOST IMPORTANT , ANY OF THE AIR BAGS IN THE LEFT SIDE , IT DONT CAME OUT . THIS IS THE POLICE ACCIDENT REPORT CASE # HC170007937.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET CRUZE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STABILITY CONTROL WARNING INDICATOR FLASHED, THE RADIO SHORTED, AND VARIOUS WARNING INDICATORS FLASHED. THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED EACH TIME THE FAILURES OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO WAS UNABLE TO REPLICATE AND DIAGNOSE THE FAILURES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000.

ROUGHLY 6 WEEKS AFTER PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE, I STARTED HAVING INCIDENTS WHERE THE RADIO WOULD CUT OUT FOR 2-3 SECONDS AND THE INFOTAINMENT SCREEN WOULD GO BLANK. AT THE SAME TIME, THE "SERVICE STABILITRAK" MESSAGE MOMENTARILY APPEARS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THERE ISN'T A TREND TO WHEN THIS HAPPENS. SOMETIMES IT WON'T HAPPEN FOR A WEEK, OTHER TIMES IT WILL HAPPEN MULTIPLE TIMES IN A SINGLE DRIVE. LAST WEEK, THIS HAPPENED AND I ALSO LOST POWER STEERING AND COULD NOT STEER FOR WHAT FELT LIKE A COUPLE SECONDS. BASED ON THE CHEVROLET CRUZE CUSTOMER FORUM, THIS IS A FAIRLY COMMON PROBLEM AND OTHER'S HAVE ALSO LOST POWER STEERING PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT. THERE IS NOT A RECALL FOR MY SPECIFIC VEHICLE OR A PERMANENT CORRECTIVE ACTION THAT I'VE FOUND. IT HAS BECOME A SAFETY CONCERN AND GM SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND RECALL THE AFFECTED VEHICLES BEFORE POWER STEERING IS LOST AT HIGHER SPEEDS.

ALL THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS GOING OFF FOR NO REASON. KEY STUCK IN IGNITION AND CAR WILL NOT START. JUST LIKE MOST OTHER COMPLAINTS WITH THIS CAR MOSTLY ELECTRICAL. I JUST GOT THIS CAR FOR MY 16 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER. VERY SCARY THAT THERE IS NOT A RECALL ON THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND THE DEALERS DOES NOT KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON VERY DISAPPOINTING. AND THIS HAS HAPPENED SITTING STILL AND IN MOTION LIKE THE CAR HAS A MIND OF ITS OWN.

LATELY I'VE BEEN NOTICING THE TOUCH SCREEN RADIO TO FLICKER AND COMPLETELY LOSE POWER. I FIGURE IT WAS JUST A GLITCH WITH THE ALL THE TECHNOLOGY THAT THIS CAR HAS. WELL, THE SERVICE ANTITHEFT DETERRENT SYSTEM CONTINUES TO COME ON, BUT GOES AWAY. CAR IS FINE. LAST SATURDAY MY CAR WOULDN'T START UNTIL THE 3RD TRY. THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF, ABSOLUTELY NO POWER, KEY WOULDN'T COME OUT OF THE IGNITION. AFTER 15 MINUTES IT STARTED, THE RADIO FLICKER. ON MY WAY TO WORK, THE RADIO KEPT CUTTING OUT THEN AS I WAS SLOWING DOWN TO TURN, MY STEERING AND BRAKES GAVE OUT, NEARLY CAUSING A HUGE COLLISION! THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON THING WITH THE 2013 CRUZE LT. CHEVY NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING! I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR ANYMORE! NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW THE PROBLEM? IT'S LIFE OR DEATH HERE, I TRAVEL A LOT FOR WORK AND GET ON BUSY HIGHWAYS. HOW MANY INJURIES OR DEATHS DO YOU NEED TO CORRECT THIS MAJOR PROBLEM?

2013 CHEVROLET CRUZE ELECTRICAL HAZARD WHICH HAPPENS MOSTLY DURING THE RAIN OR WET ROADS OCCASIONALLY WHILE DRY. MAIN PROBLEM RADIO POWER AND DASH POWER CUT IN AND OUT AND OR FLUCTUATE WHILE DRIVING AND OR APPLYING BRAKES. THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING WILL, MOST OF THE TIME, CUT IN AND OUT ALSO WHILE TURNING TURNING KEY OFF AND ON AGAIN WHILE STATIONARY MAY FOR A SHORT TIME FIX THIS PROBLEM HOWEVER IT IS NOT A PERM ANY SOULUTION ONLY TEMPORARY AND MY ALSO RESULT IN A TOTAL NO POWER/ NO START CONDITION FOR THE VEHICAL POSSIBLE CAUSE IS LEAK IN THE CAR OR SHIELD IS NOT PROPERLY PROTECTION ELECTRONICS/WIRING ON THE VEHICAL

I WAS TURNING WHEN THE INFORMATION CENTER WENT BLANK AND THE SERVICE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON. IT BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER THE CAR. I PULLED OVER, TURNED THE CAR OFF, LOOKED UNSET THE HOOD. WHEN I RESTARTED IT WAS FINE. SPORADICALLY OVER THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS THE INFO CENTER WOULD BLIP OUT AND THE SERVICE STABILITRAK LIGHT WOULD COME ON. THE DEALER COULD NEVER REPLICATE THE ISSUE. IT NEVER INVOLVED THE STEERING UNTIL NOW.

THE CARS RADIO SCREEN WILL GO OUT AND THE STABILI CHECK COMES ON IT HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AND SOMETIMES WITH THAT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON IT HAS HAPPENS ON ALL ROADS HIGHWAYS AND CITY ROADS IN MOTION AND WHEN STOPPED HAVE HAD AN INCIDENT WHEN THE CAR WOULD NOT TURN ON NOTHING WOULD WORK NOT EVEN THE LOCKS FROM INSIDE THE CAR HAVE HAD A LOT OF ISSUES WITH THIS CAR OTHER THAN JUST THIS AND I HAVE NOT EVEN HAD IT A YEAR

INTERMITTENTLY THE ANTI-THEFT LIGHT GOES ON, WITHOUT WARNING AT AN HIGH SPEEDS OR WHEN PARKED AND SHUTS DOWN ALL SYSTEMS, IMMOBILIZING THE CAR. THIS INCLUDES THE RADIO, STEERING, MOTOR. TWO DAYS AGO I WAS DRIVING AND THIS HAPPENED, THE CAR SHUT DOWN, I COULDN'T STEER OR DRIVE THE CAR, A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED WHEN TRYING TO START THE CAR, THE ANT-THEFT SYSTEM SHUTS DOWN THE CAR. THERE IS NO WAY TO KNOW WHEN THIS WILL HAPPEN. WHEN TAKEN TO AUTO DEALER, THE CAR WORKS FINE. THE CAR HAS 66,000 MILES. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 6 TIMES, BUT THE LAST ONE WAS THE WORST, TRAVELLING AT HIGH SPEED AND LOSING CONTROL OF THE CAR. WHAT HAPPENED IS SIMILAR TO WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH IN COBALTS WHERE THE CAR JUST STOPPED, THAT IS PRETTY MUCH WHAT HAPPENED WITH ME.

IN A CONVERSATION WITH THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT STEVE RAYMAN OF SMYRNA, GA HE SAID THE NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE CAUSED THE PROBLEMS WITH THE INSTRUMENT PANEL, GAUGES, AND THE STEERING WHEEL JERKING TO THE LEFT. I CHOSE TO CONTACT GENERAL MOTORS BECAUSE I JUST COULD NOT BELIEVE A NEGATIVE CABLE COULD CAUSE SUCH PROBLEMS. AS MENTIONED EARLIER, GM PERSONNEL TOLD ME THAT THREE REMEDIES MADE UP SPECIAL COVERAGE 14311' 1, NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE NEEDS REPLACEMENT. 2. VOLTAGE REGULATOR NEEDS ADJUSTMENT 3. A SCREW NEEDS TO BE TIGHTENED. IN A SECOND CONVERSATION WITH STEVE RAYMAN PERSONNEL AND GM, BOTH SAID IT WAS THE CABLE AND NOT THE VOLTAGE REGULATORS. THE CAR HAD BEEN IN MY GARAGE FOR THE LAST FEW DAYS WITH A DEAD BATTERY. THIS MORNING I JUMP-STARTED THE VEHICLE; SO, WE CAN ASSUME THE ALTERNATOR WAS WORKING PROPERLY BECAUSE THE CAR CONTINUES TO RUN AFTER DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY CABLES. I DROVE TO THE STORE IN ORDER TO PURCHASE AND REPLACE THE BATTERY I NOTICED THE BATTERY VOLTAGE WAS READING 15.1 VOLTS. AFTER REPLACING THE BATTERY, I WAS RETURNING HOME AND NOTICED THE BATTERY VOLTAGE FLUCTUATED FROM 14.7 WHILE IDLING TO 14.8 WHILE DRIVING. MY QUESTION TO YOU THE ALTERNATOR APPEARS TO WORKING CORRECTLY BY PROVIDING ELECTRICAL POWER TO OPERATE THE CAR WHILE USING A DEAD BATTERY. IF THERE WERE A POWER FLUCTUATION, WOULD IT BE REASONABLE TO ASSUME THE VOLTAGE REGULATOR COULD BE THE PROBLEM. COULD ERRATIC VOLTAGE CAUSE THE INSTRUMENTS TO GO HAYWIRE AND COULD LEAD TO THE CAR'S ENGINE TURNING OFF? COULD SUCH AN OCCURRENCE CAUSE A CATASTROPHE ACCIDENT AND RISK THE LIVE OF ALL VEHICLE OCCUPANTS?

I TOOK IT BACK TO THE PLACE I BOUGHT IT AND THEY SAID IT DIDN'T TRIGGER A CODE SO THEY COULDN'T FIX IT. I HAVE A VIDEO OF WHAT HAPPENED AS WELL, BUT IT DIDN'T HELP. *TR

I BOUGHT MY 2013 CRUZE LTZ ABOUT THREE MONTHS AGO AND I WAS SURE THAT IT WAS THE PERFECT CAR, NOW, I'M FULLY AWARE THAT I WAS WRONG.. I GOT IN MY CAR TO LEAVE FOR WORK ON AUGUST 1, 2014 AND WHEN I STARTED MY CAR, THE ON DASH MAINTENANCE REMINDERS ALL WENT CRAZY TELLING ME TO "SERVICE POWER STEERING" AND "SERVICE STABILITRAK".. I KNEW THIS COULDN'T BE RIGHT SO I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTARTED THE CAR, THE SCREEN WENT CRAZY AGAIN WITH THE SERVICE NOTIFICATIONS. I DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT BEFORE WORK SO I WENT AHEAD WITH MY DAY, I GOT ALL THE WAY TO THE INTERSTATE (WHICH IS ABOUT A MILE AND A HALF FROM MY DRIVEWAY) AND NOTICED THE STEERING WAS GETTING STIFF SO I PULLED OVER AND RESTARTED THE CAR AGAIN AND THE LIGHTS DIDN'T COME BACK ON SO I, AGAIN, WENT ON ABOUT MY DAY... ISSUE NUMBER TWO-- ABOUT THREE DAYS LATER, AND EVERY DAY SINCE, MY ON DASH TOUCH SCREEN GOES COMPLETELY BLACK, WHICH WOULDN'T BOTHER ME SO BAD IF IT DIDN'T MAKE ALL OF THE "SERVICE" LIGHTS COME BACK ON. I DON'T "NEED" A TOUCH SCREEN BUT IT WOULD BE REALLY NICE IF I DIDN'T FEEL LIKE I WAS DRIVING A TICKING TIME BOMB EVERY DAY SINCE THE VEHICLE CLEARLY HAS WIRING ISSUES. NOW, IF I TOUCH THE BRAKES OR ROLL DOWN A WINDOW, THE SCREEN GOES COMPLETELY BLACK, THE DASH LIGHTING FLICKERS AND THE SERVICE LIGHTS COME ON. I'VE BEEN SEARCHING FORUMS FOR ALMOST A MONTH AND IT SEEMS THAT NUMEROUS PEOPLE ARE HAVING THESE ISSUES, NOT ONLY MYSELF. I'M SO DISAPPOINTED WITH MY PURCHASE, ITS ALMOST UNREAL.. THE PERFECT CAR, IN THE PERFECT COLOR WITH MORE RECALLS (AND OTHER ISSUES THAT HAVEN'T BEEN RECALLED) THAN I EVEN KNOW HOW TO DEAL WITH IT. NEVER AGAIN WILL I BUY A CHEVROLET VEHICLE. IT IS OUT OF CONTROL TO NOT BE ABLE TO FEEL SAFE IN A VEHICLE THAT YOU'VE WORKED EXTREMELY HARD TO GET. *TR

THE CARS RADIO AND OTHER ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS (EX. ON-STAR, PHONE CHARGERS, USB PRODUCTS) WILL TURN ON AND OFF AT RANDOM. IT OCCURS RANDOMLY AND INTERMITTENTLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED A NUMBER OF OCCASIONS ROUGHLY 15-20 TIMES OVER A COUPLE OF MONTHS. IT MAINLY HAPPENS AT A RED LIGHT AND THEN WILL TURN BACK ON ONCE I ACCELERATE. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON A HIGHWAY GOING 60-70MPH AND THE EVERY LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD WENT ON AND ON THE DISPLAY SCREEN IT STATED STABLITRAX IS OFF. IMMEDIATELY PRESSED MY ONSTAR BUTTON AND ASKED THEM TO RUN DIAGNOSIS AND THE WHOLE CONVERSATION WAS GOING IN AND OUT OF BEING ABLE TO HEAR THEM. MY RADIO WAS GOING ON AND OFF THE ENTIRE TIME WHEN THE RADIO WAS ON I COULD HEAR WHEN IT WAS OFF AND ALL POWER WAS OFF. WE DID LOSS CONNECTION TO ONSTAR AND I REPRESSED THE BUTTON. I HAVE HAD THEM RUN THEIR "DIAGNOSIS" MULTIPLE TIMES WHEN THIS HAPPENS AND THEY NEVER HAVE ANYTHING COME UP WRONG. THEY ADVISED ME TO TALE THE DEALER. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY ADVISED ME THAT UNLESS IT WAS HAPPENING AT THAT TIME IT WOULD PRETTY MUCH BE IMPOSSIBLE TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. I HAVE HEARD SOME CLICKING OR SWITCHING SOUNDS COME FROM UNDER THE HOOD WHILE I HAVE BEEN DRIVING OCCASIONALLY NOT SURE IF AND MY ENGINE TEMP ALWAYS RUNS COLD NOT SURE IF EITHER OF THOSE RELATE. IT WOULD BE NICE TO FEEL SAFE IN MY NEW CAR AND IT WOULD BE NICE TO BE PAYING FOR ONSTAR AND NOT HAVE A DOUBT THEY WOULD BE REACHABLE IF THIS CAUSES A BIGGER PROBLEM! BE SAFE FELLOW CHEVY CRUZE DRIVERS! *TR

WHEN MY HUSBAND AND DRIVE THE CAR AND TURN IT OFF THE CAR TRIES TO RE-CRANK ON ITS OWN. IT HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES. ALSO, MY COUSIN WITNESS IT ONE DAY AFTER I TURNED THE CAR OFF. I'M NOT SURE IF IT'S THE IGNITION OR WHAT. WE WANTED TO REPORT THE PROBLEM SOONER BUT DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO UNTIL I SEARCHED ON THE INTERNET. IT'S SCARY TO SEE SUCH VEHICLE TRYING TO RE-START ITSELF. *TR

AFTER DRIVING THIS VEHICLE FOR 660 MILES, I'VE NOTICED THAT THERE'S A GRINDING OR KNOCKING FEELING ON THE ACCELERATOR. I FIRST NOTICED IT WHILE PULLING IT OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. I FELT A KNOCKING ON THE ACCELERATOR. IT'S NOT WEATHER SENSITIVE AND GIVES THE SAME FEELING REGARDLESS OF SPEED. IT'S NO PREDICTABLE FOR THE KNOCKING FEELING I GET ON THE ACCELERATOR. I DRIVE ON HIGHWAY FOR MUCH OF MY TIME AND NOTICE THE FEELING SIMILAR TO MY OLD CAR WHEN THE BEARINGS STARTED TO GO BAD. IT SEEMS AS THOUGH IT'S COMING FROM THE FRONT LEFT SIDE. I HAVE REPORTED THIS TO MY DEALER AND THEY QUICKLY HAVE LOOKED AT IT AS WELL AS TAKING IT FOR A DRIVE. AFTER CHECKING THE CAR OVER NOTHING HAS BEEN FOUND TO BE WRONG. IT IS NOW DOCUMENTED WITH THE DEALER. CURRENTLY I HAVE OVER 1K MILES ON IT AND SEEMS TO HAVE GOTTEN WORSE. *TR
