2016 CHEVROLET CRUZE Unknown Or Other Problems

My husband was driving and noticed smoke coming from the engine so we pulled over and he lifted the hood and when he did we clearly saw a part of the Bosch manifold absolute pressure map sensor had come off and appeared to have melted off. I have taken it to a mechanic and have photos to show the exact parts.

I was driving down the road when my son said he smelled something and made pull over. There were what I thought were small flames on the floor so i dumped my water on them, then i realized the seat itself was melting and dripping stuff on the floor. then the seat went up. Very shortly after that the car was completely engulfed and is now a total loss.

At first, and only on cold/rainy/snowy weather, while driving the radio would randomly turn off and turn itself back on (i have videos of this). Sometimes it would last a few seconds, sometimes a few minutes. While this was happening, the blinker sounds wouldn't work. I brought it to Chevy in Geneva, NY for diagnostics. No check engine codes ever. They told me that the radio computer needed to be updated. I had them fix it, only to find out that the problem would still happen. Over a few months, it developed more symptoms. It started to not shut off when I pushed the button, and it also started stalling when it went into auto off, but would turn back on if I put it in park and re started. At first it would stall in auto off at random times. This caused an accident in the summer of 2019. I was at a stop sign, waiting to make a right hand turn, took my foot off the brake and car stalled. The car behind me thought I was going and rear ended me. I had to drive around in the summer with the heat on, as it was the only way to prevent the car from going into auto off. I had the car looked at a few more times after that (paying $100 diagnostic fees every time). Brought it back to chevy and the told me it was because of the damage to my trunk allowing water to get to the battery (it wasn't). Issues then turned into stalling at auto off, but not turning back on once in park. I brought it to the dealership I bought it from and they looked at the alternator and had them clean all battery terminals and replace the battery. This worked for 2 weeks before continuing. It got to the point that I had to jump start my car everytime I wanted to drive it or it stalled. Finally it just wouldnt start, So i had it towed to chevy again in 2021. They determined the issue was the starter and replaced. It worked but as of now (9/13/23) my car has began stalling at auto off. It is very dangerous, car gives no warning!! There is too much to say with limited space

I have a 2016 cheavy cruise. It keeps overheating I have replaced the thermostat and thermostat housing and still have had issues with it overheating. I have done research and several cruises with this year have had the same issues.

When I start my car it will sputter then die, also cuts off while driving. It cuts off but will crank up and die again after so many tries it will drive a while and do it again. The check engine was on and I have fixed the O2 sensor, the mass air flow sensor, Ive replaced the turbo hose it had a big chunk ripped out of it which we have no clue how that happened, I just changed the PCV valves a few weeks ago and the car started but would not go in drive nor reverse put it back in shop and cleaned the throttle body and it ran good the whole day today I started cutting off again.

The turbo is messed up my car would not pull when stepping on the gas. Almost got in an accident on the freeway and hood started smoking. Spoke to a mechanic and said it was due to the turbo charger

My 2016 Chevy Cruise heating and cooling system failed. Car engine over heats causing engine to stop in mid drive. Hoses (main) and connections to heating and cooling systems faulty. Main hose to cooling system faulty (dry rotted ).

There was a recall on leaking antifreeze for previous Chevy Cruze years but that is also happening with my 2016 Cruze in the same way. My car would not warm up in the cold and would not clear the sight of my windshield over the ice, I waited about an hour for the sun due to lack of heat. While on my way my car then overheated while on the highway which created an even bigger safety issue. The problem has been recalled before on different Cruze year types, my mom had a 2013 Cruze with the same issue I am experiencing. It has not been inspected yet by those listed but when I add more coolant it is empty within an hour of just sitting there. The only light is when it was overheating, but I’ve been having to refill my antifreeze repeatedly and unsure as to why until I discovered the previous recall information and it sounded like my exact issue.

I have a Chevy Cruze LT 1.4 l turbo engine and it has an exhaust leak by the manifold or the Cadillac converter is not working, a mechanic we took it to has confirmed that one of the hoses going into the Cadillac converter burst due to the Cadillac converter not working properly today is October 2nd it happened three days ago from today I have talked to other Chevy Cruze owners and confirmed the day also had the same problem I heard there is a recall for this problem on 2016 Chevy cruise so I would like to know if my car is on that recall list so I can go and get it fixed I have $133,000 miles on my car so it's not under the manufacturer's warranty anymore it is a very pricey repair which I do not have the money for due to the pandemic as we all know so please contact me through my email you guys have onfile and also because of this problem I cannot work I use my car for work,My car is a 2016 Chevy Cruze LT with a 1.4 L turbo engine thank you

MY 2016 CHEVROLET CRUZE IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD. I HAD TO REPLACE THE THERMOSTAT AND AFTER A INSPECTION.

I HAVE A 2016 CHEVY CRUSE WITH 70,000 MILES AND AS OF 3-4-2021 I HAVE A CRACK ENGINE BLOCK. MY CAR AS BEEN SERVICED ACCORDING TO BOOKLET.I HAVE CALLED DANVERS CHEVROLET WHERE CAR WAS PURCHASED AND THEY ARE UNWILLING TO HELP. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE AND I AM DISAPPOINTED THAT HERB CHAMBERS SELLS CUSTOMERS CARS THAT BREAK DOWN AFTER WARRANTY. CUSTOMER SERVICE AND MODEL OF CAR WAS DECISIVE IN MY PURCHASE OF THIS VEHICLE. MY EXPECTATIONS OF HERB CHAMBERS CUSTOMER SERVICE IS A LETDOWN. I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED WHILE DRIVING WHEN THE CAR DIED IN THE BOURNE ROTARY

BEFORE LEAVING WORK, I TURNED ON MY CAR FOR ABOUT TEN MINUTES TO WARM UP. WHEN I ENTERED THE CAR TO LEAVE WORK, I WAS OVERCOME WITH THE SMELL OF WHAT I THOUGHT WAS GASOLINE. I DROVE LIKE NORMAL ON MY WAY HOME, ROLLING THE WINDOW DOWN TO GET RID OF THE SMELL, AND I ALSO THOUGHT SOME SMOKE OR HAZE MAY HAVE ENTERED MY CAR, ALTHOUGH IT WAS DARK AND FOGGY SO I CANNOT BE SURE. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, MY CAR'S (2016 CHEVY CRUZE) OIL LIGHT CAME ON. IT GAVE ME AN URGENT MESSAGE OF "LOW OIL PRESSURE- STOP ENGINE" AND BEEPED CONTINUOUSLY, WHILE A THICK SMELL OF OIL FILLED THE CAR. I AM VERY LUCKY THAT I WAS NEAR AN EXIT AND I PULLED OFF IMMEDIATELY INTO A GROCERY STORE PARKING LOT. THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED AND LATER THAT WEEK, I LEARNED THAT MY CAR HAD LEAKED 3.3 QUARTS OF OIL, LEAVING ME WITH 1.25 QUARTS. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT I WAS LUCKY I PULLED OFF WHEN I DID, AND THAT THERE WAS A SERIOUS RISK OF ENGINE DAMAGE. HE ALSO LET ME KNOW THAT ANOTHER CAR, SAME MAKE AND MODEL, WAS ALSO IN THE SHOP WITH THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM, AND THAT THAT CAR'S ENGINE HAD TO BE REPLACED. I QUOTE FROM MY $500+ INVOICE, "THE TURBO OIL FEED PIPE WAS LEAKING AT THE OIL COOLER DUE TO POOR SEALING. VEHICLE WAS 3.3 QUARTS LOW ON FLUID."

I OWN A 2016 CHEVY CRUZE LIMITED EDITION WITH LESS THAN 40,000 MILES AND MY RADIO HAS STOPPED WORKING. THE DISPLAY SCREEN AND PHONE CHARGER ARE ALL CONNECTED TO THE RADIO SO NONE OF THEM ARE CURRENTLY WORKING. I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY HOWEVER THE RADIO IS NOT COVERED. MY BIGGEST ISSUE IS THIS SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE 5YR WARRANTY ON THE CAR. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT TO REPLACE IT WOULD COST $1206.34. EVEN THOUGH ONCE YOU GET USE TO THIS FEATURE YOU MISS IT WHEN IT'S NOT WORKING HOWEVER THIS DOES NOT HAVE ANY BEARING ON RUNNING THE CAR HOWEVER THE COST WOULD MAKE YOU THINK IT DOES. I THINK GM/CHEVROLET SHOULD STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT AND REPLACE THE REPLACE THE RADIO. THE CAR IS ONLY A 2016 AND I HAVE OWNED 4 CHEVROLET CARS AND HAVE NEVER HAD THIS TYPE OF ISSUE. I'M NOT HAPPY ABOUT THIS IS ISSUE AND WOULD LIKE A BETTER RESOLUTION.

THE PROBLEM INVOLVES THE AUTO STOP/START FEATURE ON MY CAR. WHEN MY CAR IS IN DRIVE, THE BRAKE PETAL IS DEPRESSED, AND COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP, SAID FEATURE WILL ENGAGE AND SHUT THE ENGINE OFF. THE ANOMALY OCCURS WHEN THE BRAKE PETAL IS RELEASED AND THE ENGINE IS SUPPOSE TO REIGNITE; HOWEVER, MY CAR'S ENGINE WILL NOT COME BACK ON. INSTEAD THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL ILLUMINATE, AND THE ENGINE WILL TURN TO AN IDLE STATE. DURING THIS STATE, THE ELECTRONICS (RADIO, SCREEN DISPLAY, AND INSTRUMENT PANEL) STILL WORK, BUT THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE. TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, THE CAR MUST BE PUT IN PARK AND KEY MUST TURNED AGAIN TO START THE IGNITION. THE RATE AT WHICH THE PROBLEM OCCURS SEEMS TO BE SPORADIC. IT HAS OCCURRED AS OFTEN AS THREE SEPARATE TIMES IN TEN MINUTES, AND IT HAS GONE AS LONG AS TWO WEEKS WITHOUT BEFORE THE NEXT INCIDENT. THE LAST TIME THE ISSUE OCCURRED, I WAS SITUATED ON AN INCLINE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. WHEN MY FOOT RELEASED THE BRAKE PETAL AND THE CAR MALFUNCTIONED, MY CAR PROCEEDED TO ROLL BACKWARDS DOWN THE INCLINE AND ALMOST COLLIDED WITH THE CAR BEHIND ME. I BRAKE BEFORE THIS HAPPENED. I PROMPTLY TOOK MY CAR TO THE SAME CERTIFIED CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP FOR THE THIRD TIME FOR THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AND HAS BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL IN RECREATING THE ISSUE; HOWEVER, THE CARS FAULT REPORTING SYSTEM HAS PRODUCED ERROR CODES AS EVIDENCE THAT A PROBLEM EXISTS. I HAVE OPENED A CASE WITH CHEVROLET'S CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER TO RECEIVE FURTHER HELP. I WAS DIRECTED TO GET A RENTAL CAR FROM ENTERPRISE, AND I WAS TOLD THE COST WOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR UP TO THREE DAYS. LATER THAT DAY I RENT A CAR. MY CASE WAS ELEVATED TO A HIGHER STATUS BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY CONCERN. TWO DAYS LATER, I RECIEVED A CALL FROM A SENIOR ADVISER STATING THAT MY RENTAL CAR COST WOULD NOT BE REIMBURSED.

WHEN LEAVING A GROCERY STORE, ROUGHLY 2 MILES, MY HUSBAND SAID THE GAS PEDDLE CLICKED. MOMENTS LATER, THE CAR STARTED SHIFTING WEIRD. WOULD NOT GET PAST FIRST GEAR. SECOND GEAR MADE THE CAR SUPER SHAKY AND THEN IT SHUT OFF. WHEN RESTARTING, CAR WOULD DRIVE NORMAL FOR A MINUTE THEN ACT UP AGAIN. WE WOULD PUT IT IN NEURAL AND COAST IT WITH NO PROBLEMS UNTIL IT DIED AGAIN. WHEN WE GOT HOME ABOUT 30 MINUTES LATER, I PULLED THE CODE AND IT WAS PULLING O2 BANK 1 SENSOR 2. CAR IS AT THE DEALERSHIP NOW. WAITING FOR A CALL ON THE DIAGNOSIS.

I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE LAST YEAR IN LATE SEPTEMBER. ON SEPTEMBER 22ND THIS YEAR I HAD TO HAVE A PISTON JOB PERFORMED ON MY ENGINE DUE TO THE CYLINDER #1 MISFIRING. THE TOW THAT AAA PROVIDED AND MY MECHANIC WHERE MY CAR WAS TOWED TO BOTH TOLD ME AT SEPARATE TIMES THAT MY AC BEING ON MADE THE PROBLEM WITH MY ENGINE WORSEN. MY MECHANIC ACTUALLY TOLD ME TO NOT TURN ON MY AC AS I WAS DRIVING IT OUT OF HIS GARAGE TO TAKE TO A CHEVY DEALER. AN ADVISOR AT THE DEALER INFORMED ME THAT THE TWO, THE ENGINE AND THE AC, ARE APART FROM EACH OTHER AND THE AC SHOULD NOT BE AFFECTING THE ENGINE IN THIS MANNER. AFTER THE LABOR ON MY CAR WAS COMPLETE I IMMEDIATELY NOTICE THE SAME ROUGH SHAKE WITHIN THE ENGINE AND THE LOUD SOUND COMING FROM THE AREA WHERE THE AC IS HOUSED THAT SOUNDS LIKE SOMEONE IS KNOCKING ON A DOOR OR PLAYING DRUMS OR EVEN AS IF A TRAIN IS GOING BY ON THE TRACKS. THIS WOULD HAPPEN EVERY TIME I TURNED MY AC OR HEAT ON WHETHER I WAS STATIONARY, IN MOTION, ON A CITY STREET, OR HIGHWAY. I WAS SO ACCUSTOMED TO THIS THAT I HAD NEVER THOUGHT IT MAY BE ABNORMAL BECAUSE I NEVER HAD A VEHICLE WITH AUTO STOP, WHICH IS WHAT I FIRST THOUGHT I WAS EXPERIENCING. THE PISTON JOB WAS A $6,000 JOB. FORTUNATELY, I DID NOT HAVE TO PAY THAT AMOUNT. MY CAR WAS AT 61,263 MILES WHEN I HAD TO GET IT SERVICED. I TRULY BELIEVE THAT THIS ISSUE IS A SAFETY RISK NOW BEING THAT IT IS STRAINING ON THE ENGINE AND POSSIBLY THE REASON WHY THE CYLINDER #1 FAILED FOR NO REASON WHEN MY CAR IS MAINTAINED AND NOT NEGLECTED.

RECALL

THE CAR FIRST STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH SWITCHING GEARS. GOING INTO AND OUT OF DRIVE SPECIFICALLY. WOULDN'T EVEN BUDGE. DEALERSHIP SAID IT MUST BE SOMETHING STICKY SPILLED IN GEARS. HAVE HAD NO SPILLS IN THAT AREA. SOON AFTER THIS VISIT MY CAR WOULD TURN OFF IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. DEALERSHIP SAID THEY COULDN'T REPLICATE THE ISSUE SO THEY COULDN'T TELL ME WHAT IT WAS. NOW, NOT MUCH LATER THAN THE LAST VISIT, MY CAR IS SHUTTING OFF ON THE INTERSTATE, EVERY LIGHT INSIDE CAR (DOOR OPEN LIGHTS, RADIO LIGHTS, A/C LIGHTS, DASH LIGHTS) ARE DIMMING AND BRIGHTENING OR TURNING ON AND OFF ON THEIR OWN, WINDOWS ROLL UP AND DOWN ON THEIR OWN, A/C SHUTS ON AND OFF OR WILL CHANGE VENTS ON ITS OWN, BURGLAR SYSTEM DETECTION GOES OFF WHEN TRYING TO START THE CAR, AND CAR WON'T START AFTER BEING OFF FOR 20-30 MINUTES WITHOUT A JUMP. THREE DIFFERENT PLACES HAVE USED BATTERY AND CODE READERS AND CANNOT FIND AN ISSUE. MY BATTERY, STARTER, AND ALTERNATOR ARE IN GREAT CONDITION. EVERY PLACE EXCEPT THE DEALERSHIP HAS TOLD ME IT'S A "MAJOR ELECTRICAL ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE FIXED ASAP." CAR IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. HAS HAD ALL WORK ASIDE FROM THE READINGS DONE AT DEALERSHIP. THEY SAY THEY CAN'T FIND OUT THE ISSUE. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME WITHIN 4 MONTHS THAT MY CAR ISSUES HAVE BEEN AVOIDED BY THE DEALERSHIP AND I HAVE BEEN TOLD THEY CAN'T REPLICATE WHAT I'M DEALING WITH WHEN THEY TEST DRIVE IT SO THEY CAN'T HELP ME. IT IS A DANGER TO ME AND ANY OTHER DRIVER AROUND ME WHEN MY CAR SUDDENLY SHUTS OFF AT 70 MPH AND I HAVE TO TRY TO PULL OVER TO PARK MY CAR TO TRY TO START IT AGAIN. CLICKING AND ZAPPING SOUNDS CAN ALSO BE HEARD FROM UNDER OR BEHIND MY ENGINE THAT SHOULD NOT BE THERE. WAS TOLD AT THE DEALERSHIP IF THEY CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT THEY WOULD HAVE TO SEND ME HOME WITH MY VEHICLE... STILL DOING ALL THESE THINGS. I HAVE BEEN THE ONLY OWNER AND DRIVER, UNDER 20K MILES ON VEHICLE, NO MODS ADDED.

I WILL START WITH THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE. I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE IN MY CAR, BUT THE MECHANIC CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG. MY CAR GOT STUCK AT 3,000 RPMS WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BREAK THE CAR WOULD NOT COME TO A STOP IT KEPT BUCKING BUCKING FORWARD WITH THE ENGINE ROARING. I TRIED PUTTING THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND THAT DIDN'T DO ANYTHING. I FINALLY PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND THE CAR FINALLY STOPPED MOVING, BUT WAS STILL REVVING AT 3,000 RPMS. I FINALLY HAD TO TURN THE CAR OFF. ONCE I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON THE GUAGES WERE WERE SWIPING BACK AND FORTH AND THEN FINALLY I HEARD A LOUD CLUNK AND THEN THE GAUGES WENT BACK TO NORMAL AND THE CAR WAS OKAY. I DID CHECK TO MAKE SURE THE GAS PEDAL WASN'T STUCK I PULLED IT UP WITH MY FOOT, BUT IT WAS UP ALL THE WAY SO THE I KNOW THE GAS PEDAL WAS NOT STUCK. THIS HAPPENED DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC TWICE. I FEAR NEXT TIME I WILL NOT BE SO LUCKY. I'M 21 WEEKS PREGNANT AND I HAVE AN 11 YEAR CHILD THAT DRIVES OFTEN WITH ME. THIS IS NOT SAFE SOMEONE HAS TO DO SOMETHING.

WITHIN THE LAST THREE MONTHS THIS CAR HAS STOP WHILE I WAS DRIVING. IN APRIL I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN AND IT STOP. MAY 29, WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT STOP ON A STRAIGHT STREET. JUNE 19 IT STOP NO A STRAIGHT STREET. I AM SO AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR WHEN I GET IT BACK THE MECHANIC FIRST SAID IT WAS OUT OF GAS, BUT IT WAS NOT, THIS LAST TIME HE SAID IT STARTED AS SOON AS THEY TOOK IT OFF THE TOW TRUCK. I ASK HIM TO KEEP IT AND DRIVE IT, TODAY JUNE 21, HE CALLED AND SAID IT HAD STALLED AGAIN. HELP 66 YEAR OLD SCARED DRIVER

PROBLEM OF SICKENING, STRONG ODOR INSIDE THE CAR WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING. SWEET SMELL OF COOLANT EMANATING FROM INSIDE THE DASHBOARD VENTILATION AREA SYSTEM. ODOR PERSISTS THROUGHOUT THE DRIVE. IT PERSISTS IN ALL SETTINGS OF VENTILATION, A.C., AIR, ETC. I HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR REPEATED,FAILED ATTEMPTS BY THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP, LOU BACHRODT OF POMPANO BEACH, FL., TO CORRECT THE ISSUE ON 9/27/16, 11/07/16 AND 11/21/16. I BELIEVE THEY ONLY FUMIGATED THE CAR WITH AN ANTI-FUNGAL? RATHER THAN CORRECT THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM. THEY DID NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THERE WAS AN ISSUE EITHER WRITTEN ON MY WORK ORDERS OR WHEN I SPOKE WITH THE SERVICE REPS. MORE RECENTLY A SOUR, MOLDY ODOR IS PRESENT INSIDE THE VEHICLE BESIDES THE COOLANT LEAK ODOR. ORDINARILY, I DRIVE UNDER 10 MILES A DAY ON CITY STREETS AND THE ODORS PERSISTS THROUGHOUT.

MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING ALONG A FREEWAY IN NORTH CAROLINA WHEN SHE NOTICED THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR WARNING FOR THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE WAS DISPLAYING IN RED, THAT ONLY 12 POUNDS OF AIR WAS IN THAT TIRE. SHE STOPS AT A GAS STATION AND CHECK THE TIRE WHICH APPEARED NORMAL.SHE GETS BACK ONTO THE FREEWAY AND WITHIN A FEW MILES, THE RIGHT REAR TIRE BLOWS OUT, COMPLETELY SEPARATING THE THREADED PORTION FROM THE REST OF THE TIRE. FORTUNATELY SHE WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SHOULDER AND STOP THE VEHICLE. SHE CALLS HER BOYFRIEND WHO IS A POLICE OFFICER.WHEN HE ARRIVES ON THE SCENE, HE INSPECTS WHAT WAS LEFT OF THE TIRE AND COULD NOT FIND ANY PUNCTURES OR DAMAGE THAT MAY HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THE PROBLEM.THE NEXT DAY, I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP WHERE SHE PURCHASED IT AND SPOKE WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER TRYING TO DETERMINED IF THERE IS A SAFETY ISSUE OR FAULTY TIRE. I WAS TOLD THAT BECAUSE SHE HAD HAD THE TIRES ROTATED SEVERAL WEEKS EARLIER, THE TIRES PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM SHOULD HAVE BEEN RE-REGISTERED.IN OTHER WORDS, THERE SYSTEM WAS STILL MONITORING THE TIRE WHICH HAD BEEN ROTATED FROM THE FRONT AS IF IT WAS STILL THERE, ONLY THIS TIRE IS NOW ON THE REAR OF THE CAR. THE INDICATION SHOWED THAT THE FRONT TIRE WAS LOW WHEN IN FACT, IT WAS THE REAR TIRE THAT NEEDED ATTENTION. I'VE SPOKEN TO 2 WALMART AUTO SERVICE MANAGES AND A GOODYEAR SERVICE MANAGER WHO ALL TOLD ME THAT THEY DON'T EVER RE-REGISTER A TIRE MONITORING SYSTEM WHEN THEY SERVICE A VEHICLE.THE WALMART GUYS SAID THAT THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING.I MAY BE NAIVE, BUT I TOO WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT THE SYSTEM AUTOMATICALLY REGISTERED THE TIRE THAT IS THERE, NO MATTER IF THEY WERE ROTATED. I SPOKE WITH A CHEVROLET SALES ASSOCIATE WHO SAID THAT THE CONSUMER IS NOT MADE AWARE OF THIS WHEN THEY PURCHASE A VEHICLE. SEEMS TO ME THAT THIS IS A FLAWED SYSTEM. TIRE ROTATION RE-REGISTERING. I HAVE PICTURES.

RECEIVED FIRST INSPECTION, LEAVING THE DEALER, THE CAR SMELLED OF POSSIBLY A BURNING OR SOMETHING UNKNOWN. I DID NOT ASSUME THIS WASN'T NORMAL AS THEY HAD TO CHECK SEVERAL THINGS FOR THE INSPECTION. I HAD TO DRIVE VEHICLE WITH OPEN WINDOWS FOR A FEW DAYS. BUT I THOUGHT THAT PERHAPS WHILE CHECKING THE OIL THEY MAY HAVE GOTTEN SOME ON THE ENGINE OR SOMETHING. A FEW DAYS LATER, THE CAR WAS MAKING A CLANK SOUND WHEN DRIVE GEAR ENGAGED FROM FULL STOP. 11 DAYS LATER, STARTED THE CAR AND IT HAD REVVED OVER 4000 RPM. STOPPED ITSELF WITHIN SEVERAL SECONDS. FOOT WAS STILL ON THE BRAKE. DROVE 5 MILES, STOPPED AND PARKED VEHICLE. RETURNING HOME, ON A HIGHWAY, MY CAR SUDDENLY WENT OVER 4000 RPM AGAIN WHILE NOT ACCELERATING EXCESSIVELY, FLAT AND STRAIGHT ROADWAY, OVERCAST DAY, MID AFTERNOON. WAS DOING @54 MILES MPH. AT THE HIGH REV, THE CAR HAD STOPPED ITS MOMENTUM AND WAS SLOWING DOWN, BUT THE RPM DID NOT. THE CAR WENT THROUGH SEVERAL GEARS THEN ORIENTED ITSELF MANY SECONDS LATER. RECOVERY SPEED WAS 42 MPH. IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE DEALER AND SCHEDULED A DROP OFF. HAS @10,000 MILES ON IT. MOSTLY HIGHWAY DRIVING, A FEW DAYS A WEEK. OTHERWISE IT IS PARKED. MY FEAR WAS FAILURE TO CONTINUE MOMENTUM RESULTING IN ANOTHER VEHICLE COLLIDING WITH MINE AND THE INABILITY TO TAKE ANY STEPS TO PREVENT THAT FROM OCCURRING DUE TO LOSS OF MOBILITY AND CONTROL OF ACCELERATION. *TR
