2011 CHEVROLET CRUZE Complaints

I WAS MADE AWARE OF THE MULTIPLE RECALLS MY VEHICLE HAD THROUGH MY PEPBOYS DASHBOARD WHICH IS WHERE I GET MY CAR SERVICED. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS RECALL WAS ACTIVE WHEN I WAS SOLD THE CAR LAST FEBRUARY 2017 IN WHICH I AM CURRENTLY PAYING ON

VEHICLE HAS A VERY ROUGH IDLE WHILE STOPPED AND WHILE DRIVING. WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE WILL CHANGE ROUGHLY IDLE AND SPEED UP THE VEHICLE. WHILE IN A STOPPING POSITION THE VEHICLE WILL ROUGHLY IDLE AND THE RPM INDICATOR WILL BOUNCE UP AND DOWN. THE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND THE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING AND SERVICE ESP WARNINGS COME ON INTERMITTENTLY WHILE IN STOPPED POSITION AND THEN THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY. THE MOST RECENT ONE REVVED AND ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN, ALMOST HITTING THE CAR AT THE STOPLIGHT IN FRONT OF ME.

ENGINE POWER REDUCED LIGHT COMES ON, CAR IDLES ROUGH, LIKE IT IS GOING TO SHUT OFF. WHEN INITIALLY TAKING OFF CAR PUTTS LIKE IT IS NOT GETTING GAS. CAR ACTS LIKE IT WILL STALL WHILE DRIVING AND DURING IDLING. STABILITY SERVICE TRACTION LIGHT COMES ON PERIODICALLY AND ENGINE RMPS INCREASE. HAD CAR LOOKED AT IN CASE IT WAS O2 SENSOR, BUT WAS TOLD BY MECHANIC THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. ISSUE HAS BEEN OCCURRING SINCE MAY 2018. THERE ARE 126K MILES ON THE CAR. CAR HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED. I DRIVE 45 MINUTES TO WORK, 5 DAYS A WEEK. I HAVE YOUNG CHILDREN THAT I TRANSPORT IN THE VEHICLE. CAR FEELS UNSAFE.

SEAT MOVES AND CLANKS WHEN GOING OVER A BUMP OR RAILROAD TRACKS. CAN FEEL SEAT MOVING.

THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING, LAGGING AND NOT ENGAGING. WHEN PUTTING THE CAR IN DRIVE IT MAY LAG BEFORE FINALLY GOING INTO GEAR. WHEN SHIFTING GEARS AUTOMATICALLY, IN MOTION, THE CAR WILL LAG BETWEEN GEARS AND WILL ABRUPTLY GO INTO GEAR AFTER A LAG CAUSING THE CAR TO JUMP.

"TAKATA RECALL" MY CAR IS SHUTTING OFF THEN POWERING BACK UP BY ITSELF.. SEEMS LIKE SOMETHING IS STUCK READING A CODE OF P0234

VEHICLE WAS ON HIGHWAY GOING TO LEXINGTON KY FROM LOUISVILLE KY. CAR BEGIN TO SMOKE. HOSE THAT WAS SUPPOSEDLY FIXED ON RADIATOR WAS RIGGED AND OIL SPILLED FROM THE HOSE CAUSING IT TO GO INTO ENGINE. ENGINE OVERHEATED WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. ENGINE DIED. HAD TO GET CAR TOWED FROM ONE CITY TO THE NEXT. GOT STRANDED IN ANOTHER TOWN BECAUSE COULD NOT OBTAIN A RENTAL CAR BECAUSE THEY WERE CLOSED. SINCE 2016 I HAVE SPENT OVER $7000 ON GETTING THE SAME ISSUES OR RELATED ISSUES FIXED. I HAVE SPENT OVER $5000 IN RENTAL CARS AND I STILL OWE $9000 ON MY CAR WHICH I PURCHASED FROM BALES AUTOMALL/BACHMAN IN JEFFERSONVILLE INDIANA IN 2014 WITH ON 28,000 MILES. I HAVE KEPT MY SERVICES UP TO DATE ON THE VEHICLE AND HAVE DOCUMENTATION FOR THAT. IT SEEMS ONCE I BEGIN TO GET OIL CHANGES AT THIS LOCATION MY CAR BEGIN TO DECLINE. I WOULD BE TOLD THAT I HAD ONE PROBLEM, THEY WOULD FIX IT, AND THEN SOMETHING ELSE WOULD HAPPEN. IN ADDITION, I HAVE A WITNESS WHO IS A FAMILY MEMBER WHO IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THE SAME YEAR AND MODEL CAR THAT SHE OWNS. I SEE HER GOING THROUGH THE SAME DOWN SPIRAL STEPS WITH HER CAR AS I DID. IT IS ALMOST LIKE CLOCKWORK. I HAVE READ CONSUMER REPORTS ABOUT THESE VEHICLES AND NONE HAVE BEEN POSITIVE. IN FACT, MANY WHO HAVE A TURBO ENGINE WILL OR HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SAME ISSUE. THE CAR IS A LEMON... IT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED!! IT IS UNFAIR THAT I PURCHASED A CAR THAT WAS NO GOOD AND THAT ONLY RAN GOOD FOR TWO YEARS BEFORE HAVING TO REPLACE THE TURBO TWICE AND THE ENGINE. LET ME REITERATE.. I STILL OWE $9000 ON THIS CAR. AT THIS POINT I AM CLUELESS AND I FEEL AS IF I WAS TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF. WHEN I REPORTED THIS TO THE BBB;GMC AND OTHER SOURCES THEY LED ME ON FOR WEEKS KNOWING THAT THEY WOULD NOT ASSIST IN THE MATTER. BECAUSE OF THIS WHOLE FIASCO I HAVE ANXIETY IN WHICH I AM TAKING MEDICATION. PLEASE HELP DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO

TAKATA RECALL, I HAVE A 2011 CHEVY CRUZE. MY TURBO IS HAVING UNDERBOOST FAILURE AND NEEDS REPLACED. I CAN NO LONGER INCREASE SPEED WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD TO PASS CARS OR GO UP HILLS, I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL OTHER CHEVY CRUZES WITH THE SAME YEAR BEEN RECALLED FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. WHEN I TYPED MY VIN NUMBER IN NOTHING POPPED UP. SO WHY DOESN'T MY CAR QUALIFY ?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET CRUZE. WHEN RELEASING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE VEHICLE ABRUPTLY JERKED AND SHOOK. WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS COMPLETELY RELEASED, THE VEHICLE JERKED WITH FORCE AND SHOOK. THE CONTACT HAD TO WAIT A FEW SECONDS FOR THE VEHICLE TO STOP JERKING AND SHAKING IN ORDER TO ENGAGE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE FAILURE WAS EXPERIENCED EVERYDAY AND THE STABILITY CONTROL, TRACTION CONTROL, AND CHECK ENGINE INDICATORS ILLUMINATED DURING THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE NORMALLY OCCURRED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN 42 MPH OR LESS. HOWEVER, WHEN DRIVING 55 MPH OR MORE, THE FAILURE WAS NOT EXPERIENCED. AFTER THE JERKING AND SHAKING WOULD END, THE VEHICLE TOOK A FEW MINUTES TO REACH 55 MPH OR MORE. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 93,000.
