2017 Chevrolet Cruze

IN THE DAYS PRECEDING 4/12/2019, MY CAR'S CLUTCH PEDAL BECAME SOFT. THE PEDAL WENT SOFT OVER NIGHT, BUT ALSO AFTER DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY FOR A FEW MINUTES. THE DEALER COMPLETED THE REPAIRS ON 7/23/2019 AFTER TWO ATTEMPTS AND MANY WEEKS OF WAITING FOR PARTS. THE PARTS THAT WERE REPLACE WERE THE CLUTCH PIPE, ELBOW, MASTER CYLINDER, AND SLAVE CYLINDER. WHILE THE CAR IS BRANDED A CHEVROLET, IT IS MATERIALLY IDENTICAL TO VEHICLES SOLD IN EUROPE AS EITHER AN OPEL ASTRA OR VAUXHALL ASTRA. THE ENGINE WAS MADE IN HUNGARY, AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS MADE IN AUSTRIA. SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THIS YEAR, VAUXHALL HAS HAD A RECALL TO REPLACE THESE SAME PARTS AND SOME OF THE HYDRAULIC BRAKE SYSTEM PARTS FOR THE SAME ENGINE/TRANSMISSION COMBINATION AS IN MY 2017 CRUZE DIESEL WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSION. IT IS MY OPINION THAT OTHER CARS WITH THIS SAME ENGINE/TRANSMISSION WILL LIKELY HAVE THE SAME SOFT CLUTCH PEDAL WHICH COULD LEAD TO AN INABILITY TO CONTROL THE TRANSMISSION AND/OR BRAKES. I BELIEVE GM SHOULD BE COMPELLED TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES AND FIX THEM BEFORE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OCCURS.

TRUNK WONT OPEN AT TIMES WHEN HITTING THE RELEASE BUTTON INSIDE CAR OR ON THE KEYCHAIN. I CAN HEAR CLICKING LIKE ITS OPENED BUT IT ISNT AND IT SAYS ON THE DASH SCREEN THAT IT IS. BUT IT WILL OPEN GOIN DOWN THE ROAD WHILE IM DRIVING THATS VERY AGGRAVATING AND DANGEROUS! DIDNT SEE ANY RECALLS FOR THIS BUT I NEEDED TO BRING THIS TO YOUR ATTENTION. DONT KNOW IF ANYONE ELSE HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM. IT STARTED DOING THIS A COUPLE MONTHS AGO. ITS JUST RANDOM WHEN IT DOES IT!

BOUGHT MY CAR IN SEPTEMBER AND IT WAS RUNNING FINE. I LIVE IN ARIZONA AND NOW THAT IT'S JULY IT'S VERY HOT OUTSIDE. I NOTICED ABOUT A MONTH AGO MY CAR STARTED STALLING FOR A MOMENT WHEN I WOULD TRY TO ACCELERATE ON THE FREEWAY. AND NOW IT HAS RANDOMLY STARTED STALLING WHEN STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. WHEN THIS HAPPENS I HAVE TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND TRY TO TURN IT BACK ON (USUALLY TAKES A COUPLE TIMES). THERE IS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THAT EVER COMES ON WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I LIVE ABOUT 33 MILES AWAY FROM MY WORK SO I DRIVE QUITE A BIT AND IT'S GOTTEN TO THE POINT WHERE I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT. THERE IS NO CHECK LIGHT ENGINE ON EVER SO I CAN'T TAKE IT INTO A REPAIR SHOP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHEVROLET CRUZE. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE HIGH MOUNT BRAKE SEAL WAS CRACKED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HOMETOWN CHEVROLET BUICK GMC (2009 BARNES ST, REIDSVILLE, NC 27320, (336) 634-0050) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE THIRD HIGH MOUNT BRAKE LIGHT NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,829.

I OWN A 2017 CRUZE AND BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW. HAD ISSUES WITH THE KEY FOB WORKING PROPERLY FROM THE BEGINNING AND MY ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON FOR SEEMINGLY NO REASON. ONE OF THE TIMES I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AFTER EXITING THE HIGHWAY, MY AUTO-STOP ENGINE KICKED OFF AND WOULD NOT COME BACK ON WHEN I RELEASED THE BREAK. MY CAR WOULD NOT TURN OFF AT ALL, I WOULD PUSH THE POWER BUTTON, THE CAR WOULD TURN OFF FOR HALF A SECOND AND THEN TURN BACK ON BUT MY ENGINE DIDN'T COME BACK ON WITH IT. I STARTED ROLLING BACKWARDS AND COULD NOT SHIFT GEARS. A SECOND TIME MY ENGINE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING AS I STARTED TO ACCELERATE GETTING ON THE HIGHWAY AND A WARNING CAME UP SAYING STABILIZER. I HAD TO PULL OVER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY AND TURN MY CAR OFF. MY CAR HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE EVERY TIME SOMETHING HAPPENS AND EVERY TIME THEY TELL ME THERE ARE NO CODES AND NOTHING THEY CAN DO TO FIX IT. I FILED 2 DIFFERENT COMPLAINTS WITH GM AND WAS TOLD THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING WITHOUT ANY CODES BECAUSE TO THEM MY CAR LOOKS LIKE IT IS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY
