2013 CHEVROLET CRUZE Power Train Problems

Transmission messed up only own the car for 7 months

I own 3 Chevy Cruze, a 2012, 2013 and 2016. They all partial power down or decelerate while driving. The local Chevy dealers has no recalls for this issue or any other for that matter. Please advise

ABS system is failure. Stability, traction control. Catalytic converter failure, mileage reading failure.

Coming home from grocery shopping the night of Sept 3, 2023 the radio kept turning off then coming back on. I was on the highway about 20miles from home radio still turning on and off about every 5mins (go black/blank then light back up) and I had felt when i would accelerate it would as I would slightly go up hill. Once I jad got about 4miles from my house the radio went off once again and dash warning light said "Stabili Trak" and head lights had went off then came back on again. I just was grateful I was not to far from home since it was dark out and the lights were now Turning off too. The next morning (sept 4, 2023)since I did not have another vehicle and my son needed to get to football practice, I drove down the lane of my driveway and the dash warning light kept flashing, the window warning light said turn window on (so I rolled it back up and it turned off), radio kept turning on and off relentlessly, vehicle kept shutting off on me while driving before I even got down my driveway which is about 200 feet. I starred it back up and returned home. I made phones calls to drip it off in sussex NJ at service center where I had bought car as someone followed me(I did not have any problems the hour drive there/40miles) left a message on the voicemail regarding issue, checked to see of recalls though wasn't any. It was not safe to drive the way the car was, just with the only 1 warning dash signal in the middle of driving and headlights stop working them start to couldve caused accident then car turned off while I slowly drove down my driveway doing 7mph as well and I had my son in the car too. Very scary especially driving at night and that happens without much of a warning at 1st.

The Water pump failed causing my car to almost stall out and overheating losing power and almost causing me to get hit

The 2013 Chevy Cruze is prone to overheating and there is always a coolant leak or something related to the coolant/antifreeze that is leaking or not correct. My Chevy Cruze has been leaking coolant profusely and so has my friends who had a Chevy Cruze as well. It is truly a pain to continuously refill the coolant so that the vehicle will not overheat. A recall needs to be in place immediately. I’ve heard this same story on Chevy Cruze a way too many times.

The contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Cruze. The contact stated while her daughter was exiting a parking lot at approximately 5 MPH, and making a right turn, she heard a sharp cracking sound from the passenger’s front side of the vehicle. The contact stated that her daughter drove only a few feet more when the front-end lowered down to the right. The contact’s daughter stated that the passenger’s side front wheel had detached from the vehicle and was laying on the roadway. The contact stated that her daughter was not aware of any warning light being illuminated. The contact stated that the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who diagnosed and determined that the half shaft had fractured, causing the passenger’s side front wheel to detach from the axle. The vehicle had not been repaired. The contact researched online and related the failure to NHTSA Campaign: 14V151000 (Power Train). The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

My car just shut off by itself while I was driving without any warning. My check engine light isn’t on and I just got my car out of the shop a few weeks ago, so I’m not sure why this happened. It is not safe and was definitely scary, being that I am pregnant and also had daughter with me.

I just bought the car and it is over heating and the turbo is acting up high RPMs and not shifting correctly and shakes at 60 mph

The vehicle keeps going to A/C off due to vehicle running hot. I've gone to the dealer and various shops had the water pump, hoses, outlet housing, thermostat replaced. I still smell coolant leaking and burning off when I open the hood I see the engine and catalytic converter wet and drying off as the wetness evaporates; the smell stays inside the car. The effects of smelling coolant has to be toxic, has any studies been done on long term effects of smelling coolant? I spend a minimum of 3 hours a day in traffic. The problem started around 100k. I also have oil leaking on right axel and somewhere on the engine. I've noticed the1.4l turbo has the same problems why are there recalls on the 1.4L but not the 1.8L? I'm paying out of pocket to get the same repairs done, if the vehicle is unsafe for the 1.4L it should be unsafe for the 1.8L

Check-engine light comes on and stays; after repairs, it keeps flashing. "Traction control" message comes on and stays on. The air conditioning system keeps warning to be turned off, and heats up the car when not turned off. The care drives and dies while driving. The transmission is not consistent, takes much more time to accelerate. Breaks and fan replaced after a year of purchased and about 1,500 dollars have just been spent in repairs and the car still gives a check-engine light, shaking and about to die. Presently not in use. The safety issues for me and my family are high. I recently had to drive it with safety lights on and below 25 miles/hr to and from the mechanic. I have taken the car before two mechanics and it is still not resolved. The car is available for inspection upon your recall.

Loss of power when driving

MY VEHICLE STARTED LOSING PRESSURE UPON HAVING IT CHECKED I WAS INFORMED THAT THE TURBINE IN THE ENGINE WAS DEFECTIVE AND BLOWING OUT THE OLD FROM MY INJUN MY CAR IS RENDERED USELESS DUE TO THE FACT THAT THIS TURBINE WAS PART OF CHEVY'S RECALL IN MY CAR HAVING BEEN AT CHEVY DEALERSHIPS IT WAS NEVER ADDRESSED. I NEED MY CAR FIXED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE IT IS MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION.

I HAVE A 2013 CHEVY CRUZE 1.4L TURBO. THE PAST MONTH OR SO WHEN I AM DRIVING ON AN INCLINE OR HILL IT LOSES POWER AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT AND STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHES. ABOUT A WEEK AGO I WAS COMING HOME FROM CLASS AND MY CAR LOST POWER AND ALMOST GOT SMASHED BY A SEMI AND TODAY IT LOST POWER AND ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED. HAVE HAD SEVERAL MECHANICS LOOK AT IT AND THEY CAN FIND THE PROBLEM.

RECALL: N202299080 THE CRACKS IN THE FAULTY PCV VALVE PREVENTED PROPER AIR INTAKE AND PRESSURIZATION TO AND FROM THE INTAKE ENGINE. BECAUSE THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN OPERATING UNDER THESE STRENUOUS IMPROPER CONDITIONS, THE TURBO HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO SPOOL PROPERLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS DESIGN AND HAS ALSO BECOME DEFECTIVE/IN NEED OF REPLACEMENT. FAULTY PRESSURIZATION DOES NOT ONLY AFFECT THE PCV VALVE, BUT THE COMPONENTS ON EITHER SIDE OF THE VALVE AND THEIR PROCESSES AS WELL. MY 2013 CHEVY CRUZE NOT ONLY STALLS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET, BUT DIES THERE AND IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD TO BOTH MY FAMILY AND THOSE WE SHARE THE ROAD WITH. THIS VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT OR HAD ANY OTHER COMPLICATIONS, EXCEPT FOR THIS FAULTY PCV VALVE. THE CONDITION HAS EXPOSED MY TURBO AND ENGINE TO IRREGULAR UNWARRANTED PROPULSION MECHANISMS. GM IS HOPING WE'RE IGNORANT ENOUGH TO COVER THOSE COSTS ON OUR OWN. THIS IS WRONG. THEIR FAULTY PART TRIGGERED A SERIES OF SAFETY HAZARDS AND COMPLICATIONS. THEY NEED TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE, WE CANNOT SIT BACK OR TURN A BLIND EYE IN THEIR DIRECTION. WE NEED TO STAND UP FOR EACH OTHER AND SPEAK OUT. THANK YOU FOR MAKING OUR SAFETY CONCERNS YOUR PRIORITY!

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!!

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

THE INTAKE MANIFOLD BECAME CRACKED AND I HAVE RESEARCHED IT HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR MANY CHEVY CRUZE BETTWEEN THE YEARS OF 2011-2014. THE VEHICLE HAS A INCREASED AIR FLOW THE RESULTS IN A POOR AIR TO FUEL MIXTUE INSIDE THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER, ALSO ALLOWS OIL TO BLOWBY. THE ISSUE WITH THE INTAKE HAS CAUSED INCREASED OIL CONSUMPTION/ BURNING, RESULTED IN A LOSS OF POWER UPON FIRST TAKE OFF FROM STOP LIGHT. THIS ISSUE HAS CAUSED THE COMPUTER TO ADJUST THE TIMING MORE THAN THE MANUFACTURER ALLOWED LIMIT WHICH HAS RESULTED IN A BENT VALVE AND BAD TIMING

A/C OFF DUE TO HIGH ENGINE TEMP WARNING ON THE DASH. TRIED RESETTING ECU, DIDN'T WORK. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. CHANGED BOTH COOLANT SENSORS AND STILL BROKEN. REPLACED OLD BROKEN THERMOSTAT WITH A NEW FACTORY SENSOR, AND 4 MONTHS LATER IT'S ALREADY BROKEN.

CHEVY CRUZE 2013 LTZ TURBO, I HAVE THE PAPERWORK STATING IT IS TURBO. I TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIPS BECAUSE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS TOLD IT WAS FINE. THEY CLEARED EVERYTHING. I HAVE BEEN TOLD DIFFERENT THINGS WHETHER IT HAS TURBO OR NOT. THE TURBO WAS SUPPOSEDLY CHECKED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE I BOUGHT IT. THE MECHANIC AT DEALERSHIP SAID IT DID NOT HAVE TURBO. I ASKED THE HEAD MECHANIC TO DRIVE THE CAR WITH ME IN IT. HE DID, THE HEAD MECHANIC CONVINCED ME IT HAD TURBO AND IT WAS WORKING FINE, I SAID IT DOESN'T ACT LIKE IT TO ME, HE SAID THIS IS ALL ITS GOT AND THAT'S IT, THE CAR IS FINE. THE HEAD MECHANIC SAID IT WAS FINE, I SAID SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT, HE CONVINCED EVERYTHING WAS AND TO PUSH THE CLEAR BUTTON WHEN IT WOULD BE AND IT WOULD BE FINE. THIS HAPPENED BETWEEN 2014 AND 2018 THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER THE YEARS. I WAS TOLD TO BASICALLY TOUCH THE CLEAR BUTTON. CODES STARTED TO POP UP; IT STARTED WITH THE WINDOW. I WAS TOLD TO HIT CLEAR BUTTON WHEN THIS HAPPENS, SO I DID. THEN CHECK ENGINE CODES POP UP ON DASH SAYING: ROLE WINDOW DOWN AND BACK UP, CHECK TRANSMISSION, KEY REMOTE NOT DETECTED, START WITH REMOTE START, CHECK AIR BAGS, IT HAS DONE THIS OFF AND ON FOR A SEVERAL YEARS, OFF AND ON . NOW THIS WEEK IT GOT REALLY BAD TO THE POINT THE CAR JUST SHUTS OFF, THEN IT WILL NOT START, UNTIL I TOUCH THE CLEAR BUTTON OR I HAVE TO UNHOOK THE BATTERY OTHERWISE THE DASH WILL NOT TURN OFF AND I CAN'T START IT. I TOOK IT TO HAVE CODES CHECKED AND MASS FLOW SENSOR , THEN IT SAID VAPOR CANISTER PURGE VALVE THEN MAP SENSOR, I REPLACED ALL, THE CAR STILL ACTS THE SAME. CODES STILL APPEAR ON DASH. START THE CAR IT SEEMS OK, THEN YOU DRIVE IT AND THE ENGINE JUST SHUTS OFF AND CODES START TO APPEAR AGAIN. SHOULD THIS BE CHECKED INTO. I CAN'T FIND RECORDS, I WILL TRY, BUT I CAN TELL YOU DEALERSHIPS.

TAKATA RECALL A FEW MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON THEN IT GOES OFF THE LAST FEW MONTHS IT'S BACK ON AND MAKES A NOISE WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM IS ON.

COULD PUSH THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND IT WON'T ACCELERATE. PRESSING THE GAS WITH NORMAL PRESSURE MAKES THE RPM'S INCREASE VERY QUICKLY AND THE CAR EITHER WON'T ACCELERATE OR WILL ACCELERATE VERY SLOWLY. THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON PREVIOUSLY FOR TWO DAYS AND THEN SHUT OFF AND HASN'T COME BACK ON YET. I THINK IT IS THE TURBO. UNKNOWN CAUSE.

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON, SO I TOOK IT IN AND THEY SAID THE VALVE COVER NEEDED TO BE REPLACE. THE COST WAS $280.00 TO REPLACE IT. WHEN STARTING THE CAR THERE IS A LOUD CLANKING NOISE. THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHEN STARTING THE CAR. WE THOUGHT REPLACING THE VALVE COVER WOULD CORRECT THIS ISSUE, BUT IT DID NOT. THE CAR STILL HAS A REALLY LOUD CLANKING NOISE. ONCE THE CAR IS MOVING IT DRIVES FINE. (MANUAL SHIFT CAR) HOWEVER OUR FEARS ARE THAT IF SOMETHING BREAKS WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY, THAT IT COULD CAUSE ENGINE LOSS OR WORSE FREEZE IN THE MIDDLE OF CARS DRIVING 75MPH AND CAUSE A SEVER ACCIDENT. CAN Y'ALL PLEASE CHECK INTO THIS AND LET ME KNOW IF THERE HAS BEEN ANY RECALLS WITH THIS ISSUE?

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.

AT FIRST, I STARTED THE CAR ONE DAY AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME UP AND AS I TRIED TO PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN D THE "D" LIGHT STARTED FLASHING (NOT STEADY AS NORMAL) AND THERE WAS SOME NOISE FROM THE TRANSMISSION. I PUT IT BACK TO "P" AND TURNED THE CAR OFF AND STARTED IT AGAIN. THEN IT ACTED NORMALLY. LATER ON, IT HAPPENED SUDDENLY WHILE I WAS DRIVING (THE TRANSMISSION SNAPPED AND THE "D" LIGHT STARTED FLASHING). I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS, AND THEY FOUND THAT THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE (TCM) WAS DEFECTIVE. I SEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THERE WERE MANY RECALLS ON THE TCM FOR 2012 & 2013 CHEVY CRUZE, BUT MINE WAS NOT IDENTIFIED IN THOSE RECALLS AS PER THE DEALER. I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT GM WILL INVESTIGATE THE CASE AND FEED ME BACK, BUT I FOUND OUT TODAY THAT THEY DO NOT DO INVESTIGATIONS UNLESS IT COMES FROM THE NHTSA.

MY LAST VEHICLE WAS A 1997 VW JETTA AND I TOOK THE ORIGINAL CLUTCH TO 157K MILES BEFORE TRADING IN FOR THIS CHEVY AND THE CLUTCH WAS STILL GOOD. I'VE BEEN A VALET FOR YEARS AND AN AUCTION COORDINATOR, I DON'T RIDE THE CLUTCH AND I CAN DRIVE ANY VEHICLE PROFESSIONALLY. THE 2013 CHEVY CRUZE LS HAS PROBLEMS. AFTER LOOKING ON THE CRUZETALK FORUMS, MANY MEMBERS HAVE FOUND THAT THE AMOUNT OF TRANSMISSION FLUID CHEVROLET PUTS INTO THEIR TRANSMISSIONS, ABOUT 2 QUARTS, IS NOT ENOUGH FOR 5TH AND 6TH GEAR AND THEY RECOMMEND PUTTING IN 2.5 QUARTS. CHEVROLET DENIES THERE IS A PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH THEY CAUSED MY CLUTCH TO MELT AND COST ME $1,800 TO FIX IT.

THE CAR BOGS DOWN IN FIRST GEAR, THIS IS A MANUAL TRANSMISSION, CAR HAS POOR POWER. THIS ALSO GIVES THE AUTOMATICS POOR POWER. THE SPARK PLUGS ARE NOT GAPPED OUT OF FACTORY. I JOINED CRUZETALK FORUMS AND MANY PEOPLE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. 2013 CRUZE LS MT IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE .028 GAP SPARK PLUGS. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND TOLD THEM. THEY RETURNED IT IN AN HOUR AND SAID THEY REGAPPED THEM FOR ME. THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. I BOUGHT THE TOOLS AND TOOK THEM OUT AND THEY WERE SET TO .025, .021, .023, .025. THE PLUGS ARE WAY OFF MARK AND THE DEALERSHIP LIED. I REGAPPED THEM TO .028 AND THE CAR NEVER RAN BETTER.

EVEN WITH THE CLUTCH FULLY DEPRESSED, THERE IS OFTEN GRINDING BETWEEN GEARS, ESPECIALLY IN 1ST TO 2ND GEAR. I'VE BEEN EXPERIENCING THIS SINCE AT LEAST AROUND 5K MILES AND HAVE TOLD CHEVY ABOUT IT SINCE THEN. THEY REFUSED TO INSPECT IT. ALSO SOMETIMES WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY UP A HILL IN 4TH, 5TH, OR 6TH GEAR I WILL SMELL THE CLUTCH. FINALLY AT 65K MILES WHILE DRVING ON THE FREEWAY WITHOUT MY FOOT ON THE CLUTCH, DRIVING A SMOOTH 65 MPH FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES, STARTED SMELLING THE CLUTCH, THEN THE CLUTCH STOPPED WORKING AND WOULD PUSH TO THE FLOOR AND I COULDN'T CHANGE GEARS. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE CLUTCH MELTED BECAUSE I WAS RIDING THE CLUTCH. I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY BLAMED IT ON ME. I WASN'T EVEN USING THE CLUTCH. IT HAS ALWAYS HAD PROBLEMS SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW AND NOBODY WOULD LISTEN TO ME.

2013 CHEVROLET CRUZE HAS SURGE. IT FEELS SIGNIFICANTLY WORSE IN HER VEHICLE AT 40,000 MILES. ..UPDATED 02/12/15*BF

I BOUGHT MY 2013 CRUZE IN JUNE 2014, WITH AROUND 40K MILES ON IT. IN SEPTEMBER THE CAR BEGAN HAVING ISSUES. AT FIRST IT WAS JUST THAT THE RADIO AND ALL DASH LIGHTS WOULD SHUT OFF. THEN I HAD MULTIPLE SERVICE LIGHTS THAT WOULD FLASH RANDOMLY. THOSE INCLUDED STABILITRAK, TRACTION CONTROL, POWER STEERING AND SECURITY SYSTEM. AT ONE POINT, WHILE DRIVING IN A PARKING LOT, MY POWER STEERING COMPLETELY LOCKED UP. MY CAR EVENTUALLY STOPPED STARTING. I WAS STRANDED AT SCHOOL AND HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK. WHEN THIS HAPPENED, MY KEY ACTUALLY GOT STUCK IN THE IGNITION. I WAS ABLE TO JUMP THE CAR AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES OF TRYING, BUT IT WOULD NOT KEEP POWER. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP, BUT THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT (NO CODES EVEN CAME UP ON THE COMPUTER) AND IT RAN JUST FINE FOR THEM. I DROVE THE CAR HOME, AND THE NEXT DAY HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS TIME AFTER ABOUT 30 MINUTES OF TRYING TO GET THE CAR TO START, IT DID, SO I DROVE IT STRAIGHT TO A CHEVY SHOP. AGAIN, THEY COULDN'T FIND ANY CODES, BUT SAID THEY REPLACED SOME WIRING AND CLEARED THE COMPUTER. I DIDN'T HAVE ANYMORE PROBLEMS UNTIL LAST WEEK, WHEN IT ALL STARTED HAPPENING AGAIN. I'VE HAD THE POWER STEERING LOCK UP ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION! THE WEIRD THING IS, WHEN MY CAR DOESN'T WANT TO START, ALL I HAVE TO DO IS USE THE LITTLE ELECTRICAL KNOB THAT MOVES THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT BACK AND FORTH, AND EVERYTHING FIRES UP. GM NEEDS TO FIGURE THIS OUT BECAUSE IT'S BOUND TO KILL SOMEONE! *TR

TO ME THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUES THAT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN MY FAMILY AND I BEING SERIOUSLY INJURED IF I WAS IN A DIFFERENT SITUATION. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE MY VEHICLE BE FIXED LIKE ALL THE OTHER VEHICLES THAT WAS RECALLED WITH THIS SAME ISSUES, I DON'T SEE WHY IF THE ISSUES ISN'T DIFFERENT WHY MY VEHICLE SHOULD BE EXCLUDED. *JS

THEY ARE UNABLE TO RELEASE THE VEHICLE BACK TO ME BECAUSE THEY WOULD BE LIABLE IF SOMETHING HAPPENED TO ME. THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS, OR DO THEY HAVE A TIME FRAME AS TO WHEN THE PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE. THIS HAS CAUSED A MAJOR INCONVENIENCE FOR ME, AS I AM MAKING PAYMENTS ON A BRAND NEW VEHICLE WHICH I HAVE NO ACCESS TO, DUE TO THIS RECALL. IT IS UNFAIR AS A CONSUMER THAT A CAR WAS SOLD KNOWING THAT THEY HAD A DEFECTIVE PART AND KNEW THEY HAD NO PARTS FOR THE RECALL. JUST YESTERDAY THEY ANNOUNCED ANOTHER RECALL FOR THE 2013-2014 CHEVY CRUZE MODELS FOR A DEFECTIVE AIRBAG.

CLICKING NOISE WAS HEARD FROM THE RIGHT FRONT SIDE. CLICKING NOISE CONTINUED IN REVERSE, DRIVE, OR PARK SHIFTER POSITIONS. CAR WOULD NOT MOVE UNDER ITS OWN POWER IN EITHER DIRECTION. WE PUSHED CAR TO SIDE OF ROAD IN NEUTRAL AND CALLED ONSTAR THIS IS THE DRIVESHAFT RECALL ISSUE ON 2013-14 CRUZE WITH 1.4 TURBO ENGINES. I WRITE BECAUSE IF THIS HAD HAPPENED ON AN INTERSTATE OR IN HEAVY TRAFFIC THE CONSEQUENCES COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH MORE DIRE. THIS CAR IS ALMOST 1 YEAR OLD AND HAS ONLY 3000 MILES ON IT. THIS DEFECT IS AS SERIOUS AS THE IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEM. THERE ARE 170000 OF THESE CARS OUT THERE WITH THIS SAME POTENTIAL ISSUE. WHEN I SPOKE WITH GM THEY INITIALLY SAID THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON MY VEHICLE AND THAT I SHOULD TAKE IT TO A DEALER FOR SERVICE. WHEN I INSISTED THAT THERE WAS A POWER TRAIN RELATED RECALL ON THE CAR THEY THEN SAID THAT INDEED THERE WAS A RECALL AND THAT I COULD GET IT TOWED TO A GM DEALER. MY ONLY REASON FOR WRITING NHTSA IS TO HOPEFULLY ELEVATE THIS ISSUE TO ONE OF MORE IMMEDIATE IMPORTANCE. I HAVE NOT YET RECEIVED ANY NOTICE FROM GM ABOUT THIS ISSUE, AND IF IT WEREN'T FOR THE EXTENSIVE MEDIA COVERAGE WOULD PROBABLY STILL NOT KNOW OF THIS VERY SERIOUS ISSUE. *TR

THEY SPOKE WITH SERVICE MANAGER AND ASKED ME TO TAKE IT BACK IN. I TOOK SERVICE MANAGER WITH ME AND PERFORMED SAME ACTIVITY TWICE. VEHICLE ROLLED BACKWARDS WHILE IN DRIVE AFTER STOPPING ON INCLINE AND RELEASING BRAKE. WHILE ROLLING BACKWARDS THE TRANSMISSION JUMPED AND THE VEHICLE DIED. HAPPENED BOTH TIMES. I TALKED TO GM CORPORATE CUSTOMER SERVICE SEVERAL MORE TIMES. SERVICE MANAGER ASKED ME TO BRING VEHICLE BACK IN TODAY (OCT. 21). I REPORTED SAME STORY AND LEFT VEHICLE AT DEALER. THEY CALLED ME BACK AND SAID EVERYTHING WAS NORMAL. I TALKED TO GM AGAIN AND REPORTED EVERYTHING. CALLED MY AUTO INSURANCE COMPANY AND REPORTED ISSUE. THIS ISSUE CONTINUES TO OCCUR AND I AM FEARFUL THAT THE VEHICLE MAY ROLL BACKWARDS INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE OR A PEDESTRIAN. I CAN ANTICIPATE THIS CONDITION WITH A MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND A CLUTCH, BUT CAN NOT SAFELY HAVE ONE FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND THE OTHER ON THE GAS WITH AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. *TR

WHILE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT, I KEPT FEELING THE VEHICLE SURGE AS IF IT WERE TRYING TO DRIVE FORWARD EVEN THOUGH I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE SURGE GOT TO THE POINT WHERE I HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL JUST TO STOP IT. WHEN I PUT THE CAR BACK IN DRIVE WITH MY FOOT STILL ON THE BRAKES, THE VEHICLE SURGED FORWARD AND ALMOST HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THIS SURGE WAS HAPPENING ON AND OFF BUT I HAVE STARTED TO NOTICE IT HAPPENING MORE OFTEN NOW.

I DECIDED TO TRADE IN MY MALIBU AND LEASE A 2013 CRUZE FROM GLOBAL CHEVROLET, RT.22, NORTH PLAINFIELD, NJ. IN MARCH OF 2013. I BEGAN NOTICING THE PROBLEM WITHIN A FEW WEEKS. IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, THE CAR LUNGES FORWARD AS YOU ARE SWITCHING FROM THE BRAKE TO THE ACCELERATOR. WHILE BRAKING, THE BRAKES SEEM TO FREEZE UP AND THE CAR KEEPS ROLLING, AT TIMES 20 FEET BEFORE STOPPING. I HAD THE CAR INSPECTED BY THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE AND SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG; "NEW TECHNOLOGY, COMPUTERS, DOWNSHIFTING" IS HOW THEY EXPLAINED IT. I KEEP A LOG IN MY CAR TO RECORD EACH TIME THIS OCCURS, AS IT DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERY DAY. HOWEVER, IT HAPPENS ENOUGH THAT I AM CONCERNED THAT EVENTUALLY THIS SITUATION WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND SERIOUS INJURY. IT WOULDN'T SURPRISE ME THAT IN THE NEAR FUTURE THERE WILL BE A RECALL REGARDING THIS PROBLEM OR I SINCERELY HOPE THERE WILL BE. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2013 CHEVY CRUZE ON MAY 13, 2013 TEST DROVE THE CAR AND BRAKES WENT TO THE FLOOR. SALESPERSON REFERRED IT TO THE MECHANIC. I DIDN'T EVEN MAKE IT OFF THE CAR LOT. HE SAID HE BLED THE BRAKES AND ALL IS WELL...STILL HAD TROUBLE WITH THE BRAKES AFTER I WAS AT A STOP SIGN AND MY CAR LUNGES FORWARD. I PRESSED ON BRAKES HARDER TO STOP. TOOK CAR BACK ON THE 28TH AND TOLD MECHANIC WHAT HAPPENED AND HE AGAIN CHECKED THE CAR OUT AND SAID HE COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. HE SAID HE TESTED ANOTHER NEW MODEL AND SAID HE HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH THAT CAR. THESE MECHANICS ARE IGNORING ANY CONCERN BUYERS HAVE... PUTTING OUR LIVES AND FAMILY MEMBERS IN DANGER. THE ABOVE INCIDENT HAS HAPPENED AGAIN ON OCCASION AND THE FACT THAT THESE MECHANICS TALK DOWN TO YOU AND MAKE YOU FEEL "PLAIN STUPID" HAS PROMPT ME TO INITIATE THIS COMPLAINT IN HOPES SOMETHING GETS DONE. *TR

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN DRIVE AND STOPPED EITHER AT A RED LIGHT OR STOPPING TO MAKE A TURN THE VEHICLE FEELS LIKE IT'S MOVING FORWARD (LUNGING FORWARD) THIS OCCURS WHEN THE BREAK IS COMPLETELY PRESSED DOWN AND THE CAR IS IN DRIVE. THE RPM GAGE WILL FLICKER UP AND DOWN AS THIS IS OCCURRING. I HAVE TAKING IT TO THE DEALER SHIP AND THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR. I FEEL THIS CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE IT MIGHT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT ONE DAY. WHEN IT DOES THIS AND IM STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT I WILL HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL OR PARK TO GET IT TO STOP DOING THIS. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME WHEN IM DRIVING BUT IT'S OCCURRING MORE COMMONLY. *TR

BEST WAY TO DESCRIBE WHAT HAPPENED WAS WHEN I WAS SITTING AT THE STOP SIGN BEHIND SOMEONE, WITH FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, MY CAR WENT FORWARD ABOUT A FOOT OR SO, NO GAS ACCELERATION FROM MYSELF, I DON'T KNOW IF THE GAS WAS AUTO CONTROLLED, BUT I FELT LIKE I WASN'T PUSHING ON THE BRAKE ENOUGH EVEN THOUGH I WAS, I DID SOME INVESTIGATING AND I READ ONLINE THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE BEEN HAVING SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THEIR 2013 CHEVY CRUZE. *TR

Mileage: 800

WHILE AT A STOP, MY CAR WILL LURCH FORWARD, LIKE SOMEONE IS PUSHING IT FROM BEHIND. LUCKILY I HAVE MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND IT DOESN'T MOVE FORWARD. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 4 TIMES THIS PAST MONTH SINCE I'VE HAD THE CAR. *TR

ON APRIL 27, 2013, WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK MY CAR I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE GEAR AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR JERKED IN THE REVERSE SO HARD THAT IF A CAR WAS DIRECTED BEHIND ME PARKED I WOULD HAVE HIT IT AND DAMAGED BOTH CARS. THEN, THE CAR JERKED FORWARD WHEN I SWITCH GEARS TO DRIVE FORWARD AND THEN THE CAR STARTED MAKING A LOUD CLICKING SOUND. THEN BEFORE THAT! I HAD A PROBLEM ON 4/19/2013 TRYING TO REVERSE INTO ANOTHER PARKING AREA AND THE CAR DID PRETTY MUCH THE SAME THINGS AS IT DID ON APRIL 27TH. ALSO, SOMETIMES WHEN I PRESS ON MY BRAKES, COMING TO A FULL STOP, THE CAR WILL LOUNGE FORWARD WHILE PRESSING ON BRAKE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS OCCURRENCES. I HAVE NOT CONTACT THE DEALER AS OF YET. BUT, I INTEND TOO ASAP. I HAVE ALSO CHECKED FOR ANY RECALLS, AND THERE ARE NONE YET AS OF 2013, BUT THERE ARE A COUPLE OF COMPLAINTS ONLY. 2012 CRUZE HAD SEVERAL AIRBAG, AND ENGINE ISSUES. PLEASE ADVISE! THANK YOU *TR
