2017 CHEVROLET CRUZE Complaints

INTERNAL TURBO CHARGER FAILURE. NOT GETTING ENOUGH BOOST PRESSURE CONSISTENTLY. CAR WILL BE MOVING ALONG FINE DOWN THE HIGHWAY, AND THEN SUDDENLY DROP SPEED.

VEHICLE HAS STALLED 4 TIMES NOW IN THE PAST WEEK OR SO. IT HAS PASSED INSPECTIONS AT FIRESTONE AND THE OIL CHANGE SHOP AND THERE ARE NO AREAS WITH SUGGESTED MAINTENANCE OR REPAIRS. THE VEHICLE STALLS AFTER BEING IN PARK OR HAVING MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND NOT MOVING, AND THEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE/MOVE AGAIN. ALL 4 TIMES I HAVE BEEN ON A LEVEL STREET OR PARKING LOT, WITH THE WHEELS STRAIGHT, AFTER THE ENGINE HAD BEEN RUNNING FOR SEVERAL MINUTES UP TO AN HOUR. I HAVE TO PUT IT IN PARK, TURN OFF THE VEHICLE, AND THEN RESTART THE ENGINE AGAIN TO CONTINUE DRIVING.

FLUID LEAK WHEN RIDING FOR ALONG PERIOD ON INTERSTATE UNDER DASH WHERE BRAKING IS

I RECEIVED A WAITING NOTIFICATION STATING 'SERVICE BRAKING SYSTEM' WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND THEN MY CARS BRAKE PEDAL BEGAN TO STICK AND VIBRATE WHILE THERE BEING NOTHING WRONG WITH THE PADS. ROTORS, BRAKE LINES, OR BRAKE FLUID. IT COULD'VE CAUSED ME TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT AND HURT OTHERS OR MYSELF DUE TO THIS FAULTY BRAKE SYSTEM.

FUEL INECTORS: AT TIMES IT SEEMS THE CAR GETS SLUGGISH, AND FIGHTS TO GET GAS TO THE INJECTORS. AT TIMES, THERE ISN'T ENOUGH POWER TO KEEP THE CAR GOING. MY CAR WAS ON AN OPEN HIGHWAY WHEN I EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE.

THERE IS A KNOWN ISSUES WITH THE 2016+ CHEVY CRUZE MODELS WHERE THE TOP MOUNTED BRAKE LIGHT CRACKS AND WATER LEAKS INTO THE TRUNK UNDER THE SPARE TIRE AND INTO THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT. THE WATER ALSO COMES INTO CONTACT WITH OTHER ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS THAT ARE BETWEEN THE REAR SEAT AND REAR QUARTER PANEL. THIS CAUSES A MUSTY/MILDEW SMELL IN THE VEHICLE AND CAN POTENTIALLY CAUSE ELECTRICAL SHORTS AND ISSUES DUE TO THE COMPONENTS THAT ARE IN THE AFFECTED AREA. AS STATED THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THESE CARS AND A RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM BUT THERE ARE MANY OTHER VINS THAT WERE AFFECTED INCLUDING MINE THAT WERE NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.

VEHICLE HAS HAD A MISFIRE THAT ONLY THREW A SINGLE GENERIC MISFIRE CODE FOR CYLINDER 3. JERKS OCCASIONALLY WHEN SLOWING DOWN AT STOP LIGHTS OR SIGNS. RECENTLY WENT TO TURN AROUND AFTER MISSING A TURN, SHIFTED IT INTO REVERSE AFTER STOPPING IN A RANDOM DRIVEWAY OFF A CITY ROAD, SLOWLY BEGAN TO BACK UP AND IT MOVED ABOUT AN INCH BEFORE THE STEERING WHEEL COMPLETELY LOCKED UP, A/C SHUT OFF, CAR ACTED LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL AND WOULD ONLY ROLL FORWARD, WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WITH GAS. ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING, NO LIGHTS CAME ON, BUT PROBLEM REMAINED UNTIL I PUT IT IN PARK AND SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF. TURNED IT BACK ON AND IT STARTED NORMAL AND HAVEN'T HAD A PROBLEM SINCE BUT IT'S ONLY BEEN 2 DAYS. TOOK IT IN TO DEALERSHIP AND FOUND 0 CODES AND ARE UNSURE AS TO WHAT COULD POSSIBLY CREATE THE ISSUE DUE TO NO CODES AND IT ONLY HAPPENING INTERMITTENTLY. *TR
