2012 CHEVROLET CRUZE Complaints

TRUNK RELEASE DOES NOT WORK. THE TRUNK OPENS ONLY AFTER ACTUATING THE BUTTON ON THE FOB

AFTER SEVERAL TRIPS TO DEALER FOR COOLANT ISSUES, CAR WAS FINE FOR AWHILE. NOTICED LOW COOLANT YET AGAIN, FILLED IT AND 2 WEEKS LATER DURING OIL CHANGE WAS INFORMED THAT I HAD NO COOLANT. 3 DAYS LATER TRANSMISSION FAILED WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, I WAS ABLE FORTUNATELY, TO PULL IT OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND HAD IT TOWED. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION! 120.000 MILES AND NO PRIOR INDICATION OF ANY ISSUES. JUST CONTACTED CHEVROLET TO SEE IF ANY ASSISTANCE IS AVAILABLE. THIS CAR HAS BEEN GREAT EXCEPT FOR THE COOLANT ISSUES....UNTIL THIS! THE CAR IS NO LONGER DRIVEABLE!

2012 CHEVROLET CRUZE LS WITH 51,000 MILES. EVENT OCCURRED NOV. 25, 2018. WITHOUT PRIOR SYMPTOMS, THE CAR BEGAN TO JERK WHILE DRIVING FORWARD AT CITY SPEEDS. MADE IT TO DESTINATION A SHORT DISTANCE AWAY. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. ATTEMPTED TO MOVE CAR, AND THE REVERSE GEAR WOULD NOT ENGAGE. DROVE (LIMPED) THE CAR IN D TO A LOCAL AUTOZONE TO HAVE THE TROUBLE CODE READ. P0700 TCM ISSUE. STILL NO REVERSE. UPON LEAVING, NOSED OUT ON BUSY 5 LANE THOROUGHFARE AND THE CAR NO LONGER WOULD GO FORWARD AS THE TRANSMISSION HAD DISENGAGED. COULD HAVE BEEN DISASTROUS IF THIS OCCURRED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BUSY ROAD. PUSHED THE CAR BACK TO THE AUTOZONE LOT. NOV 26, 2018 CALLED GM AND OPENED A CASE BUT WAS TOLD THERE ARE NO RECALLS AND WE ARE OUT OF WARRANTY, MUST HAVE A CERTIFIED GM SHOP ASSESS THE ISSUE AT OUR COST. NOV 27, 2018 TOWED TO LOCAL GM DEALER WHERE CAR WAS PURCHASED FOR EVALUATION. COMPLAINT:THIS CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY ON TIME ONLY. IT HAS A SEALED TRANNY AND THE FIRST RECOMMENDED FLUID CHANGE IS 97,500 MILES. OBVIOUSLY DRIVEN CAREFULLY AND DAILY WITHOUT NEGLECT FOR ONLY 51,000 MILES. SHOULD NOT HAVE MAJOR UN-WARRANTIED TRANSMISSION ISSUES. RESEARCHED THIS CONDITION ON FORUMS ETC. THERE ARE ENOUGH INSTANCES WITH VERY SIMILAR OR SAME SYMPTOMS THAT GM KNOWS OF THIS AND SHOULD MAKE IT GOOD.

AC AUTO SHUTOFF TEMP TO HIGH MESSAGE COMES ON L. I HAVE REPLACED THE THERMOSTAT ALREADY THREE TIMES. THEN THE CAR WON'T START. DISCONNECT THE GROUND AND PUT IT BACK ON AND IT STARTS JUST FINE. YOU CAN DRIVE IT FOR A WHILE THEN AC OFF COMES BACK IN AND START THE PROCESS AGAIN.

LET ME START BY SAYING THIS ISSUE WAS THE NOT THE FIRST ISSUE THAT'S CAUSE ME TO TOW MY CAR FIRST WAS MY ENGINE FAILURE DUE TO COOLANT LINES RIPPING WHILE DRIVING. AND THIS ISSUES IS ABOUT DEFROST AND HEATING IN THE GENERAL I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH ME HEAT ON THE WINDSHIELD BUT IT DIDN'T HEAT THE FRONT WINDSHIELD INSTEAD IS WAS HEATING MY FACE THE WINDOWS WERE ALREADY A LITTLE FOGGY BUT I EXPECTED IT TO BE CLEAR WHILE DRIVING BUT INSTEAD WHILE GOING 65MPH ON THE HIGHWAY MY WINDOWS COMPLETELY BECOME FOGGED COMPLETELY WHITE I COULDN'T SEE ANYTHING LUCKY FOR ME I WAS ON THE RIGHT LANE SO I PULLED OVER AND WAS SAFE HOWEVER IF IT HAPPENED EVEN 5 SECONDS LATER I WOULD OF MOST LIKELY HIT OR BEEN HIT AS THE HIGHS HAD SOME RENAVATIONS AND THE NEW TURN HAD NO PULL OVER AND HAD A LONG AND TIGHT TURN. ANYWAYS IF YOUR ALSO HAVING THIS ISSUES AND KNOW A FIX PLEASE INFORM ME.

I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR OVER TWO YEARS NOW AND ITS UNABLE TO BE DIAGNOSED. STILL OCCURS WITH A NEW BATTERY AND TERMINALS. ITS UNDER NO RECALLS OR FIXES. IT GENERATES ZERO CODES. 2012 CHEVY CRUZE TWO CHEVY CERTIFIED DEALERS LOOKED AT IT AND WERE LIKE, WE'LL HAVE TO REPLACE THE AIRBAG AND THAT MIGHT FIX THE PROBLEM. IT'LL COST ABOUT $900 AND THE MECHANICS CAN NOT PROMISE IT WILL FIX THE PROBLEM OR IF THE AIRBAG IS SAFE.

MY VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND NO RUNNING. I ENTERED THE VEHICLE AND STARTED IT. THE SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT FLASHED THEN THE SERVICE STABILITRAK LIGHT FLASHED THE LIGHTS WENT AWAY AND THE VEHICLE DROVE FINE. SEVERAL DAYS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED UPON ENTERING MY DRIVEWAY IT STARTED TO SPUTTER. FOUR DAYS AFTER THAT UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE THE SAME LIGHTS CAME ON IN ADDITION TO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. NOW WHEN I START MY VEHICLE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON AND AFTER THE VEHICLE IS WARMED UP THE OTHER TWO LIGHTS COME ON AND THEN GO OFF. MY LATEST ONSTAR DIAGNOSTIC REPORTS A PROBLEM WITH THE ECM. I HAS BEEN ALMOST EXACTLY THREE YEARS TO THE DATE THAT THESE SAME THINGS HAPPENED AND WERE SUPPOSEDLY REPAIRED UNDER RECALL # 14801 AND SPECIAL COVERAGE # 14311B. PLEASE ADVISE.

THIS VEHICLE (CHEVY CRUZE 2012) IS THE WORST VEHICLE MADE POSSIBLE. THERE IS OIL LEAKS THAT HAVE BEEN FIXED THAT OCCUR AGAIN . THERE IS A COOLANT LEAK THAT WAS FIXED BY THE RADIATOR CONNECTOR. 15 MINUTES LATER OF DRIVING THE VEHICLE 2 MORE HOSES POPPED AND CAUSED THE COOLANT TO LEAK AGAIN. THE RADIATOR WENT BAD AND WAS CHANGED THE VEHICLE STILL OVER HEATED . THE THERMOSTAT WAS CHANGED AND THE VEHICLE WAS FINE FOR 2 DAYS. I GO TO START THE VEHICLE AND IT DOESN'T WANT TO TURN OVER . COME TO FIND OUT AT THE SAME MECHANIC THAT I HAD THE THERMOSTAT CHANGED APPARENTLY SAID THE HEAD GASKET WAS BLOWN . THEN SAYS THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE CYLINDER HEADS . SO ALL IN ALL . THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD OIL LEAKS , COOLANT LEAKS , ENGINE LIGHTS , RADIATOR ISSUES , CYLINDERR HEAD PROBLEMS , MISFIRING AND NOW A HEAD GASKET PROBLEM . THIS BRINGS A SAFETY ISSUE TO ME THAT WHILE I AM DRIVING MY CAR IS MISFIRING ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WHILE THERE IS TRAFFIC GOING ON AND TONS OF PEOPLE ON THE ROAD . I COULD POTENTIALLY BE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AND BECAUSE OF ALL OF THIS ELECTRICAL ISSUES THAT GM IS NOT CAPABLE OF MANUFACTURING CORRECTLY ON THESE VEHICLES (CHEVY CRUZE) MY CAR COULD OF BLEW UP WHILE DRIVING IT. I HAVE MY NIECES AND NEPHEWS IN THE CAR WHILE THE CAR SHAKES OUT OF NOWHERE WHICH COULD OF PUT THERE LIFE IN DANGER . CHEVY IS NO HELP WHAT SO EVER THEY ONLY WANT TO CHARGE TO EVEN LOOK AT A CAR THEY MANUFACTURED!!!! I ASK FOR HELP FROM THEM AND THEY SEEM SO CAREFREE . MY LIFE IS IN DANGER AND NO ONE CARES!! SOMEONE WILL DIE BY GM HANDS IF THIS ISSUE CANNOT BE CORRECTLY FIXED ON THESE VEHICLES . YOU GUYS ARE SELLING CARS THAT CAN KILL SOMEONE AND ONCE YOU GUYS ARE NOTIFIED OF THIS NO ONE CARES . ONCE THERE IS A LAWSUIT UNDER YOUR COMPANY THEN MAYBE YOU GUYS WILL TAKE THIS SERIOUS .

AS I'M DRIVING IN THE CITY OF ATLANTA GEORGIA MY CAR CHEVY CRUZE 2012 HAS MANY ISSUES AS THE CAR BEING IN MOTION AS I PRESS THE BRAKES TO COME TO A STOP THE BRAKES PRESSURE GETS AND DO NOT STOP I FOUND OUT DID I HAVE TO TAP ON THE GAS AGAIN AND THEN PRESS THE BRAKE TO GET IT TO COMPLY SORT OF SCARY ALMOST CAUSING A WRECK EVERY TIME

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD STILL WITHIN CITY LIST, THE CAR BEGAN MAKING A KNOCKING NOISE, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND A LOW OIL PRESSURE WARNING FLASHED. AFTER TAKING IT TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WE WERE TOLD THAT THE ENGINE IS BLOWN WITH 122K MILES ON IT.
