2017 Chevrolet Cruze

WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE INSTEAD OF THE CAR SPEEDING UP IT WILL STALL OR SLOW DOWN. MY CAR HAD STOPPED ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC BEFORE WHILE DRIVING. I HAD TO TURN MY CAR OFF AND TRY TO RESTART WHICH IT STRUGGLED TO RESTART BUT AFTER TRYING A FEW TIMES IT STARTED. THE DEALERSHIP STATED IT WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE FUEL INJECTOR. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON A CITY STREET AND ALSO WHEN TURNING OR ENTERING THE HIGHWAY

MY 2017 CHEVROLET CRUZE DISPLAYED A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ONE DAY AFTER DRIVING TO THE GYM FROM MY HOME (ABOUT 7 MILES) AND SITTING FOR ABOUT AN HOUR AND HALF. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS SOLID AND I DROVE HOME WITHOUT NOTICING ANYTHING ODD WITH THE CAR. FIGURING IT WAS A NON-ISSUE I LET THE CAR SIT FOR ABOUT 45 MINUTES AND WENT BACK OUT AND TURNED THE CAR ON TO SEE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL ON. I THEN GOT AN EMAIL FROM ONSTAR SAYING THAT MY CAR HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION SYSTEM OR BATTERY. FINDING THAT CONCERNING I TOOK MY CAR TO THE NEAREST CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP. THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY MAJOR CODES AND RESET THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND SENT ME ON MY WAY. THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON THE NEXT DAY. CALLING THE DEALERSHIP BACK I MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE CAR CHECKED BY A TECHNICIAN. WHEN I SHOWED UP FOR MY APPOINTMENT I WAS TOLD I SHOULD UNPLUG ANY CELL PHONE CHARGERS AS THAT COULD BE A POSSIBLE ISSUE. THEY RESET THE CEL AND I LEFT ONLY TO HAVE THE LIGHT POP BACK ON AGAIN WITHIN 10 MINUTES. I THEN TOOK THE CAR BACK THAT DAY TO HAVE A MORE THOROUGH INSPECTION. THEY ENDED UP FINDING RUST IN THE TRUNK PAN. RUST IN THE BOTTOM OF A 2017 VEHICLE. SOUNDS LIKE A PRETTY BIG DEFECT TO ME. I WAS TOLD IF I WANTED GM TO TRY AND FIX THE VEHICLE IT WOULD RESULT IN DIMINISHED VALUE FOR MY CAR. UP TO THIS POINT, THERE WAS NO OTHER INDICATION OF ANYTHING LEAKING OR ANY OTHER ELECTRICAL ISSUES. THERE ARE MANY REPORTS OF THESE CARS LEAKING IN THE TRUNK AREA. TIME FOR GM TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE.

VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION GOING APPROX 35 MPH UPHILL ON RESIDENTIAL ROAD WHEN IT STARTED VIBRATING AND "SERVICE STABILITRAK" LIGHT CAME ON. PULLED OVER INTO GAS STATION AND SHUT CAR OFF. SAT FOR 2 MINUTES BEFORE TURNING BACK ON. SERVICE STABILITRAK LIGHT REMAINED ON WITH SOME VIBRATION. MERGED ONTO HIGHWAY AND ATTEMPTED TO REACH THE SPEED LIMIT OF 65 MPH. CRUZE WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO ACCELERATE ABOVE 60 MPH. SERVICE BREAKS LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN GOT AN ALERT STATING THAT POWER STEERING HAD FAILED. CAR BASICALLY SHUT ITSELF DOWN AND I HAD TROUBLE GETTING IT TO FULLY TURN OFF. STEAM/SMOKE THEN BEGAN COMING OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD AND LIQUID FROM THE CAR WAS ALL OVER THE ROAD. TOWED TO CHEVY DEALER WHERE THEY DISCOVERED A HOLE IN THE ENGINE BLOCK, OTHERWISE KNOWN AS A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE. CAR HAD 27K MILES ON IT AT THE TIME. IT WAS AN EXTREMELY SCARY AND DANGEROUS ORDEAL.

HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE TRUNK NOT OPENING WITH THE KEY FAUB OR TRUNK RELEASE BUTTON OR THE ONE ON THE LID! VERY AGGRAVATING U CAN HEAR IT CLICKING LIKE ITS TRYING BUT WONT OPEN BUT WHEN IT DOES IT HAPPENS AS YOUR DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD,ITS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES , AND FOR BEING A 2017 CRUZE AND NOT HAVING A CRUISE CONTROL IS JUST STUPID! ONLY 2 YEARS OLD SHOULDN'T BE HAVING ANY PROBLEMS VERY ANNOYING!!
