2012 CHEVROLET CRUZE Complaints

TRANSMISSION MODULE CONTROL BAD. CAR JERKS WHEN PUT IN GEAR AND TAKES OFF VERY SLOW OR NOT AT ALL. VERY DANGEROUS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET CRUZE. WHILE DRIVING, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE JERKED AND SHUDDERED, AND THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTING WAS AFFECTED. THE CONTACT PROVIDED THE DEALER (TURNER CHEVROLET, 1251 PAXTON ST, HARRISBURG, PA 17104, (866) 629-7151) WITH ENGINE CODES: P015B (O2 SENSOR DELAYED RESPONSE FOR OXYGEN SENSOR) AND PO171 (BANK 1 SYSTEM 2 LEAN). THE DEALER WAS SUPPOSED TO CALL THE CONTACT BACK TO EXPLAIN THE CODES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 96,600.

I OWN BOTH A 2012 & 2013 CRUZ AND THEY BOTH HAVE A LEAK IN THE SAME PLACE. I ALSO HAVE A CO-WORK THAT HAS ONE AND IS HAVE THE SAME WATER LEAK AT FIRST I TOUGHHT MY CAR HAD BEEN WRECKED BUT IT SEEMS THAT IF IT'S NOT JUST ME IT IS NOT THE CASE

PURCHASED MY 2012 CHEVY CRUZE MARCH OF 2016. JULY 2016 THE CAR WILL CONTINUE TO RUN AFTER THE KEY WAS OUT IGNITION I TOOK IT TO NAPERVILLE CHEVY THEY CHANGED THERMOSTAT. OCTOBER 2016 THE CAR WOULD RUN ON HIGHWAY OR STREET ALL OF A SUDDEN SERVICE TRACTION LIGHT COMES ON THE CAR ONLY GO TO 20MPH SUDDENLY THEN IT WILL TURN OFF. TOOK IT TO CHEVY AGAIN THEY SAID TRANS MODULE THEY FIXED IT MARCH 2017 IT HAPPENED AGAIN THEY DIDN'T KNOW THE PROBLEM BECAUSE NO ENGINE LIGHT ON IT HAPPENED EVERY 4 MONTHS OCTOBER 2018 TRANS LINE LEAKING WITH THE SAME SIGN NO FASTER THAN 20MPH JERKING THEY FIXED LINES JANUARY 2019 CAR JERKING AGAIN CAR GOES 20 MPH BUT THE CAR WILL STOP AT STOP SIGN AND WILL I ACCELERATE TO GO THE CAR WON'T MOVE AT ALL I HAVE TO TURN IT OFF TO DRIVE AGAIN

TURBO CHARGER VALVE FAILED CAUSING MULTIPLE OTHER ISSUES. CAR SHUTS OFF RANDOMLY. STABILITY TRACK KEEPS COMING ON EVEN AFTER THE WIRE TO THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED.

MY BRAKES KEEP GOING "HARD" AND NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. ABOUT A YEAR AGO I HAD MY MASTER CYLANDER, BRAKE BOOSTER, MICROSWITCH IN THE BRAKE VACUUM LINE, MAF SENSOR AND AIR INTAKE HOSE REPLACED BECAUSE THE MECHANIC SAID THOSE WERE THE ISSUES, I WENT 2 WEEKS WITHOUT MY VEHICLE, INCLUDING BREAKING DOWN FOR MULTIPLE DAYS OUT OF STATE. NOW HERE I AM WITH THE SAME ISSUES. BEFORE I HAD THEM REPLACED I WAS TOLD THAT THE MICROSWITCH IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM WAS ALREADY RECALLED AND REPLACED. BUT SINCE THEN IT HAS FAILED AGAIN. I WAS TOLD BY CHEVY THAT THEY ONLY DO THE RECALL ONCE, BUT IF THEY ARE REPLACING IT WITH A FAULTY PART SHOULDN'T THAT BE RECALLED AGAIN? I HAVE TWO TODDLERS IN MY VEHICLE REGULARLY AND LOSING THE POWER BRAKES COULD END VERY BAD. THE POWER BRAKES FAIL ALMOST EVERY DAY, USUALLY THE FIRST TIME I HIT THE BRAKES AFTER STARTING TO VEHICLE. WITCH MAKE ME THINK THAT ITS GOING TO COMPLETELY FAIL AGAIN SOON.

I AM HAVING ISSUES WITH MY TURBO. AFTER TAKING IT TO MY MECHANIC I AM TOLD THAT IT IS A COMMON ISSUE

OVERHEATS REGULARLY EVEN WITH ANTIFREEZE, STOPS READING COOLANT TEMPERATURE RANDOMLY

CAR WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT, READY TO MAKE A LEFT-TURN AND COMPLETELY SHUT OFF FOR NO REASON. IT TURNED ON AFTER SOME MINUTES BUT THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE (HTTPS://WWW.CARGURUS.COM/CARS/DISCUSSION-T65940_DS765514) OF THE SAME ISSUE WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL (INCLUDING NEWER ONES), A LOT BEING WHILE THE CAR IS ACTUALLY DRIVING. THIS IS SO DANGEROUS!! WE DON'T FEEL SAFE CONTINUING TO OPERATE THE CAR SINCE FINDING OUT IT'S A RECURRENT PROBLEM FOR PEOPLE WITH THIS CAR WHO HAVE HAD NO RESOLUTION EVEN AFTER FILING MULTIPLE CLAIMS WITH CAR COMPANY AND TAKING IT TO THE MECHANIC.

I WAS LEAVING WORK, ONTO A BUSY STREET AND THE HEADLIGHTS FLICKERED, THE CHECK ENGINE ICON APPEARED ON THE DASH, ALONG WITH ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL & SERVICE STABILI TRAK. MY CAR SLOWED DOWN TO ABOUT 5 MILES AND I WAS ALMOST HIT. I REVERSED BACK INTO MY COMPANY'S LOT. SOMEONE SCANNED MY CAR AND THE CODE WAS FOR P2135. DOING RESEARCH, I FOUND IT WAS A PREVIOUS RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE BUT CAN'T FIND ANY NOW.
