2013 Chevrolet Cruze

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET CRUZE. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE RADIO TURNED ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY, THE GAUGES FLUCTUATED, AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS AND HEADLIGHTS TURNED ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE STALLED. WHEN THE IGNITION WAS TURNED TO THE OFF POSITION, THE KEY DID NOT RELEASE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS UNKNOWN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

THE VEHICLE SURGES WHEN FOOT IS ON THE BRAKE & IT IS BECOMING A STRUGGLE TO KEEP IN BRAKE MODE. FEELS AS IF CAR IS GOING TO TAKE OFF. ALSO, WHEN DEFROST IS ON, IT WILL TURN ITSELF OFF WITH WARNING FLASHING 'A/C OFF DUE TO HIGH ENGINE TEMP' AIR CONDITIONING IS NOT EVEN ON...THE HEAT IS. THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE THAT GM CANNOT SEEM TO FIND WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. *TR

WHILE I WAS STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT ALL OF A SUDDEN I RECEIVED THE FOLLOWING WARNINGS: STABILITRAC LIGHT, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT, THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE REDUCE ENGINE POWER WARNING. EVEN THOUGH THE WARNING STATED REDUCE ENGINE POWER, I COULDN'T DRIVE THE CAR. I TURNED THE CAR OFF TWICE, STILL NO POWER WHEN I APPLIED MY FOOT TO THE GAS PEDAL. I CALLED ON-STAR AND HAD MY CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE THROTTLE BODY WAS REPLACED ON MY CAR, WHICH WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I NOTICED FROM SEVERAL COMPLAINT SITES THAT THE INCIDENT WITH SUDDEN LOSS OR REDUCED ENGINE POWER IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE CRUZE. I'M A LITTLE AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR NOW FOR FEAR THAT THE INCIDENT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN AT A BUSY INTERSECTION. I HOPE THE PROBLEM WITH MY CAR IS RESOLVED WITH THE REPLACEMENT OF THE THROTTLE BODY. *TR

I WAS STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN GETTING READY TO CROSS OVER HWY TO GO NORTH BOUND. A TRUCK CAME OUT OF NOWHERE AND HIT MY DRIVER SIDE FRONT END. MY AIR BAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY. I GOOGLED IT AND SAW THERE IS A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE FOR AIR BAG. I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR 2 WEEKS AGO. SHOULDN'T THE DEALER BE RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING RECALLS BEFORE SELLING THE CAR EVEN IT IS USED. *TR

ON 10-1-14 MY CRUZE ECO WOULD NOT START. AFTER MULTI TRIES AND HEARING ONLY CLICKING SOUNDS IT DID START. AFTER GETTING TO MY DESTINATION AND LETTING THE CAR SIT FOR HOURS IT DID THE SAME THING AGAIN. CONTACTED DEALER WAS TOLD TO BRING CAR IN WHICH I DID ON 10-3-14. AFTER A WEEK, THEY STATED THEY SHOWED THE ALT WAS NOT CHARGING AND REPLACED IT THEN AGAIN BECAUSE 1ST ONE THEY RECEIVED FROM G.M WAS DEFECTIVE. ON 10-10-14 PICKED UP CAR STARTED IT UP WENT HOME AND LET SIT FOR ABOUT A HOUR THEN TRIED TO START AND AGAIN IT ONLY CLICKED BUT THIS TIME THERE WAS 3 MESSAGES AND ONE WAS TO ROLL WINDOW UP AND DOWN? WHY? DOES THESE CRUZES HAVE ELECTRICAL ISSUES OR COMPUTER ISSUES? CONTACTED SELLING DEALER AGAIN AND WAS TOLD TO BRING IT BACK WHICH I DID ON 10-13-14. WAITING ON MY NEW CRUZE AGAIN TO BE FIXED AND WONDERING WHY DO THESE 5 STAR CRUZES HAVE SO MANY PROBLEMS ACCORDING TO WHAT I HAVE BEEN READING THE LAST FEW DAYS WITHOUT G.M DOING SOMETHING. I AM NOT SATISFIED WITH THIS CAR. *TR
