I PURCHASED MY CAR IN APRIL 2016 WITH APPROX 22,000. ON THE SECOND DAY THERE WAS A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE HOOD WHICH IT SOUNDED VERY CLOSE TOWARDS THE ENGINE, EXHAUST PART OF THE CAR. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY DIDN'T STATE WHAT THE ISSUE WAS THEY JUST TOLD ME THEY HAD FIXED IT. THE NOISE WENT AWAY. 3 MONTHS LATER I STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKING. I WAS AT A BIG INTERSECTION WHEN I WAS TURNING LEFT MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED ON ME AND MY ENTIRE LIGHTS INCLUDING THE DASHBOARD WENT OUT. I COULDN'T MOVE MY CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION AND LUCKILY THERE WASN'T CARS COMING TOWARDS ME. IT TOOK ABOUT 10-20 SECONDS TO COME BACK ON. WHEN IT DID COME BACK ON THERE WAS A LOT OF LIGHTS POPPING UP AND THEN THERE WAS A "STABILI TRAK" LIGHT ON. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE BECAUSE I KNEW I COULDN'T DRIVE IT ANYMORE. I CALLED MY DEALERSHIP AND I TOOK IT IN THAT SAME DAY. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A WIRE THAT WAS LOOSE AND THEY HAD FIXED IT. WELL THEY DID NOT, 3 WEEKS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME AND THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON THEN. I TOOK IT IN AGAIN AND THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY FOR ABOUT 2 MONTHS AND NOW I AM BACK TO THE SAME THING EXCEPT SOMETHING NEW. NOT ONLY DOES MY LIGHT COME UP AND MY STEERING WHEEL STILL LOCKS ON ME BUT MY CAR BEGAN SHAKING LAST NIGHT AND WHEN I WOULD DRIVE IT IT WOULD MAKE THE SAME LOUD NOISE FROM THE BEGINNING TOWARDS THE FRONT OF THE CAR TOWARDS THE ENGINE, AND IT WOULD HESITATE ON GOING WHEN I WOULD MAKE A STOP. LIKE IF IT WAS ABOUT TO FULLY TURN OFF SO MY CAR GOT TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP LAST NIGHT. THE ISSUES WERE NOT FIXED AND THEY ARE ONLY GETTING WORSE.THESE ISSUES SHOULD'VE BEEN TAKEN CARE THE FIRST TIME I HAD GONE TO THE DEALERSHIP. NOW IT'S THE 4TH TIME I HAVE GONE TO A DEALERSHIP AND NOTHING IS BEING RESOLVED AND I PRETTY SURE NOW THERE IS A BIG ISSUE WITH MY ENGINE WITH SO LITTLE MILES!

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE CAR WANDERS IN THE LANE AND WHEN YOU TRY TO CORRECT THE STEERING IT SEEMS TO LAG OR STICK AND YOU NEED TO PUT EXTRA PRESSURE ON STEERING TO MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL. IT HAPPENS OVER AND OVER WHILE I WAS DRIVING. WITH THE LAG OR STICKING DURING THE CORRECTION THE CAR MOVES QUICKLY FOR A SECOND IN THE DIRECTION YOU ARE STEERING. SO WHILE DRIVING THE CAR WANDERS IN THE LANE AND EVERY CORRECTION YOU GET THIS LAG OF STICKING.

WHEN DRIVING STRAIGHT, THE STEERING WHEEL OFTEN "STICKS" IN ONE POSITION.

WHEN DRIVING STRAIGHT, THE STEERING WHEEL OFTEN "STICKS" IN ONE POSITION. IF I'M STEERED JUST SLIGHTLY TO THE LEFT, IT'LL STICK GOING SLIGHTLY TO THE LEFT AND IT TAKES A BIT MORE EFFORT TO "BUST IT" LOOSE TO CORRECT YOUR DIRECTION. SAME IS TRUE IF EXACTLY STRAIGHT OR SLIGHTLY TO THE RIGHT. IT DOESN'T FEEL DANGEROUS, BUT IS LESS THAN TOTALLY SAFE AS THE WHEEL TYPICALLY OVERSTEERS THE OTHER DIRECTION WHEN USING ADDITIONAL EFFORT TO CORRECT MY DRIFTING. THIS OCCURS USUALLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND DOESN'T NECESSARILY REQUIRE GOING IN THE SAME STRAIGHT DIRECTION FOR A LONG TIME. I ENTERED TODAY'S DATE AS A SINGLE DATE IS REQUIRED BUT IT OCCURS VERY FREQUENTLY, ESPECIALLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.

I'VE TOWED IT TO AND FROM THE DEALERSHIP TO SPEND MONEY I PRACTICALLY COUNTED IN CHANGE BECAUSE I LOST MY JOB DUE TO NO DEPENDABLE RIDE.

I'M PASSED TO THE NEXT PERSON WHO KEEPS ME ON HOLD TO INFORM ME OF HOW TRULY SORRY THEY ARE THAT THEY CAN'T HELP. APPARENTLY GM FEELS IT'S SAFE SO HOW ABOUT COME SAVE ME FROM THIS HEADACHE, I'LL GLADLY LET YOU TEST DRIVE. MY FAVORITE SONG IS "EVERY LIGHT IN THE CAR IS IN"

Consequence & remedy
Consequence: Exposed wires increase the risk of electrical shock and personal injury if the cord is handled while it is plugged in.
Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the engine oil pan/block heater cord with a new cord that is rated for temperatures of minus 40 degree Celsius.

Jun 26, 2014
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2013-2014 Chevrolet Cruze vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the driver's front air bag inflator may have been manufactured with an incorrect part.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the driver's air bag, the air bag's inflator may rupture and the air bag may not inflate. The rupture could cause metal fragments to strike and potentially seriously injure the vehicle occupants. Additionally, if the air bag does not inflate, the driver is at an increased risk of injury.
Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the driver side air bag, free of charge. The recall began on June 28, 2014. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020. GM's number for this recall is 14305.
Mar 31, 2014
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2013 and 2014 Chevrolet Cruze vehicles equipped with a 1.4L turbo engine, and manufactured between November 28, 2012, and March 7, 2014. On the affected vehicles, the right front half shaft may fracture and separate.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the half shaft fractures and separates while driving, the vehicle would lose power and coast to a stop. If a vehicle with a fractured half shaft is parked without the parking brake applied, the vehicle could move unexpectedly. Either condition increases the risk of a crash.
Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the right half shaft, as needed, free of charge. Parts for the remedy are not currently available. GM will send an interim letter to owners in May 2014. A second owner letter will be mailed when parts are available. Owners may contact Chevrolet at 1-866-694-6546. GM's number for this recall is 14079. This is an expansion of recall 13V-452. NOTE: Some vehicles subject to this recall were subject to the recall campaign initiated in 2013. Some of those vehicles were repaired using defective parts. Those owners will be advised that they must have their vehicles remedied again under this campaign and that having the earlier recall completed did not remedy their vehicles.
Feb 21, 2014
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2014 Buick Regal, LaCrosse, Verano, and Enclave, and Chevrolet Impala, Malibu, Cruze, and Traverse, and GMC Acadia vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions. In the affected vehicles, the transmission shift cable adjuster may disengage from the transmission shift lever. As such, these vehicles do not conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 102, "Transmission Shift Lever Sequence, Starter Interlock, and Transmission Braking Effect." They also fail to conform to FMVSS number 114, "Theft Protection and Rollaway Prevention."
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If a vehicle's shift cable disengages from the transmission shift lever, a driver may be unable to shift gear positions and the indicated shift position may not represent the gear position the vehicle is in. Should a disengagement occur while the vehicle is being driven, when the driver goes to stop and park the vehicle, the driver may be able to shift the lever to the "PARK" position, but the vehicle transmission may not be in the "PARK" gear position. If the vehicle is not in the "PARK" position there is a risk the vehicle will roll away as the driver and other occupants exit the vehicle or anytime thereafter. A vehicle rollaway increases the risk of injury to exiting occupants and bystanders.
Remedy: General Motors will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace any affected transmission shift cable adjusters, free of charge. The recall began on April 10, 2014. Chevrolet owners may contact General Motors at 1-800-222-1020, Buick owners at 1-800-521-7300, and GMC owners at 1-800-462-8782. General Motors' number associated with this recall is 14048.
Sep 23, 2013
General Motors (GM) is recalling certain model year 2013 and 2014 Chevrolet Cruze vehicles equipped with manual transmissions (MF3/MR5) and manufactured January 24, 2013, through August 1, 2013. On the affected vehicles, the right front half shaft may fracture and separate.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: If the half shaft fractures and separates while driving, the vehicle would lose power and coast to a stop. If a vehicle with a fractured half shaft is parked without the parking brake applied, the vehicle could move unexpectedly. Either condition increases the risk of a crash.
Remedy: General Motors has notified owners. Dealers will replace the half shaft assembly, free of charge. The safety recall began on October 15, 2013. Owners may contact General Motors at 1-800-521-7300. This is General Motors campaign number 13276.
