2011 CHEVROLET CRUZE Complaints

I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE, WITH TODAY ENDING IN LOSS OF POWER WHILE DOING 70MPH ON INTERSTATE 95N. PRIOR TO THIS ISSUE, MY DASHBOARD AND RADIO WOULD FLICKER ON AND OFF, THEN THE MESSAGE "SERVICE STABILITRAK" WOULD POP UP AND GO AWAY. THIS MORNING WHILE DRIVING ON 95N MY VEHICLE LOST ALL ITS POWER CAUSING ME TO PULL OFF ONTO THE SHOULDER. MY CAR CUT OFF AND WOULD NOT CUT BACK ON FOR ABOUT TWO MINUTES. WHEN I CUT IT BACK ON, MY CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE AND CODE P0723 (SPEED SENSOR) POPPED UP. THIS NEARLY SCARED ME AS I COULD HAVE ENDED UP IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT. NOW, MY CAR IS AT THE SHOP AND THE TRANSMISSION HAS DIED. I SEE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THE SAME ISSUE BUT NO RECALL RELEASED. I WILL BE WITHOUT A VEHICLE AND UPSIDE DOWN ON MY CAR NOW. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO CHEVROLET BEFORE ABOUT MY VEHICLE RANDOMLY SHUTTING OFF, BUT I GUESS THIS WILL NOT GO NOTICED UNTIL THE WORST HAPPENS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET CRUZE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEARS FAILED TO PROPERLY CHANGE OVER FROM PARK. ALSO THE VEHICLE JERKED AND STALLED SEVERAL TIMES WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 11V273000 (POWER TRAIN) AND 16V502000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

STEERING ROD ISSUE, STEERING WHEEL FEELS LOOSE WHILE DRIVING ESPECIALLY WHEN ON THE HIGHWAY OVER 50 MPH . SEVERAL ISSUES WITH COOLANT/ CAR OVERHEATING/ OVERHEATED AND GAUGE FLEW RAPIDLY TO HOT, DRIVING ABOUT 40 MPH AND HAD TO PULL OVER AND TURN OFF CAR - CALL TOW TRUCK. THIS HAPPENED TWICE, SUPPOSEDLY FIXED BUT STILL SMELLS OF BURNING OIL. DRIVE SIDE WINDSHIELD STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 65 MPH ON BUSY HIGHWAY -POSSIBLE PROBLEM WITH THE MOTOR BECAUSE THE OTHER ONE WORKS FINE. ALL VERY DANGEROUS ISSUES.

WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, A WARNING CAME ON SAYING THAT MY A/C WAS TURNED OFF BECAUSE MY ENGINE WAS OVERHEATING AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. MY TEMPERATURE GAUGE WAS ON COLD. WHEN I FIRST TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG. THEY CLEARED THE CODES AND TOLD ME TO COME BACK IF THE WARNING CAME BACK ON. THREE WEEKS LATER, THE WARNING CAME ON AGAIN WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THE FIRST TIME THE WARNING CAME ON, I HAD BEEN DRIVING FOR ABOUT 6 HOURS. AFTER THE CODES WERE CLEARED, THE WARNING CAME BACK ON WHEN I HAD BEEN DRIVING FOR ABOUT 2.5 HOURS. IN THE TWO WEEKS BETWEEN THE WARNING COMING BACK ON AND WHEN I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, SOMETIMES THE WARNING WOULD COME ON RIGHT AWAY WHEN I TURNED ON THE CAR. OTHER TIMES, IT WOULD TAKE 10 MINS OF DRIVING BEFORE IT WOULD COME ON. WHEN I DROVE, THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE WOULD FLUCTUATE BETWEEN COLD AND HALFWAY BETWEEN COLD AND HOT. AFTER FLUCTUATING FOR A FEW MINUTES, IT WOULD GO TO COLD AND THE WARNING WOULD COME ON. I TOOK IT BACK AND THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT MY COOLANT THERMOSTAT SENSOR AND HOUSING NEEDED REPLACING. THE CAR HAD ERROR CODES P0118 AND P0117. AS THIS PROBLEM COULD CAUSE MY ENGINE TO OVERHEAT AND IT SEEMS LIKE IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE CHEVY CRUZE, I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL YET. THE WARNING OCCURRED WITH A LITTLE LESS THAN 55,000 MILES ON THE CAR.

SERVICE STABIL TRAK COMES ON, RADIO GOES OFF, WINDOWS STOP WORKING. STARTS TO POWER DOWN!!! I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR! CHEVY CRUZE IS GARBAGE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE! TRANSMISSION & HEATING/COOLING UNIT WENT OUT!! 3 RECALLS!!!

COOLANT LEAKING UNDER PRESSURE FROM WATER OUTLET & WATER PUMP. CAUSES CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO MALFUNCTION AS WELL AS ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR & RADIATOR CONTROL TEMPERATURE SENSOR.

TRANSMISSION COOLANT LINE SEEMS TO BE SEEPING OR LEAKING AND IS CLOSE TO THE TURBO AND COULD CAUSE A FIRE.

BOUGHT THIS CAR USED WITH 51K MILES A MONTH AGO. DROVE GREAT THE FIRST WEEK, AFTER THAT LOSES POWERUPON ACCELERATION AND IS SLOW TO GET UP TO SPEED. WHILE DRIVING JUST NOW, THE CAR WAS LOSING POWER SO I DECIDED TO HIT THE GAS HARDER AND INSTEAD OF GOING FASTER THE THE STABILITY TRACK LIGHT CAME ON. I AM STARTING TO WONDER IF I MADE A BAD DECISION PURCHASING THIS CAR. IT HAD TROUBLE GOING UP HILL ON THE HIGHWAY LAST WK. THIS CAR IS TOO COMPACT TO HAVE SPEED ISSUES.

ACCIDENT, ON JAN 15 2017, VEHICLE WAS TURNING INTO A RESTAURANT PARKING LOT FROM A HIGHWAY AND HIT BY A F150 PICKUP ON THE FRONT END AND WHOLE PASSENGER SIDE, GOING ABOUT 15 MPH AND OTHER VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING 50MPH, NONE OF THE 10 AIR BAGS DEPLOYED, HAVE SHOULDER INJURY 3 DAYS FOLLOWING ACCIDENT, VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO COLLISON, SHOP & WAS MADE AWARE THAT THE FRAME OF THE VEHICLE FROM FRONT END TO REAR WAS SHATTERED, THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING AND TURNING INTO A BUSINESS, THE INSURANCE COMPANY DEEMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED. NO AIR BAGS EVER DEPLOYED, IF THERE WERE A PASSENGER THEY WOULD HAVE DIED.
