2012 CHEVROLET CRUZE Complaints

MY SON WAS DRIVING BY HIMSELF WHEN HE HIT A POLE. AFTER THE ACCIDENT HE SAID HE COULD NOT MOVE THE STEERING WHEEL TO AVOID THE POLE. HE SAID IT STUCK.

THE VALVE COVER AND PCV VALVE LEAKS AIR BAD AND IS DEFECTIVE. IT CONSTANTLY CAUSES SURGING AND MULTIPLE OBD CODES AND THE STABILI/TRAC TO FLASH AND THE RADIO TO FLASH OFF AND ON. IT IDLES ROUGH AND SHUTS OFF ROUGH TOO. THE GAS MILEAGE ISN'T AS GOOD AS IT SHOULD AND THE POWER ISN'T AS GOOD AS IT SHOULD. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS KNOWN DEFECTIVE PCV VALVE COVER TO BE FIXED

MY TRANSMISSION WAS SHIFTING HARD THEN I PARKED IT GOT BACK IN PUT IN REVERSE AND IT WON'T MOVE,IT MOVED IN DRIVE SO MANY FEET MAKING HORRIBLE NOISE AND THEN WENT OUT OF GEAR...NOW WON'T MOVE AT ALL

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET CRUZE. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE BRAKES FAILED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT HAD TO EXERT EXTRA FORCE TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL UNTIL THE VEHICLE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BEDARD BROS. AUTO SALES (391 S STATE RD, CHESHIRE, MA 01225, (413) 743-0014) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V360000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC). THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE DIAGNOSIS WAS UNKNOWN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 118,000.

I GOT GAS ON JUNE 1ST AND NOT EVEN 15 MILES AFTERWORDS MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I CHECKED TO MAKE SURE THE GAS CAP WAS ON PROPERLY AND LIGHT STILL DID NOT GO OFF. I TOOK CAR TO GET OBDII READ AND IT STATED THAT THE MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR WAS BAD AND ALSO THE FUEL INJECTORS AS WELL. ONE MECHANIC STATED IT WAS FROM BAD GAS BUT WAS UNABLE TO PROVE IT. I HAVE DONE PERSONAL RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THE PCV IS CLOGGED AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED OR CLEANED. THE CAR PROCEEDS TO RUN "ROUGH" AND STALLS WHEN PLACED IN PARK. I HOWEVER DON'T NOTICE A PROBLEM WHEN IN MANUAL GEAR.

BELT TENSIONER BOLT CAME OUT AND IS NOW STUCK IN A SPRING IN THE ENGINE..THE LIGHT ON MY RADIO FADES IN AND OUT.. ROTOR ON DRIVERS SIDE HAD DEFORMITY TO IT .STILL HAVE THE ROTOR AND THE SPRING IS STILL STUCK IN ENGINE I CAN'T AFFORD TO GET IT FIXED

WHILE PARALLEL PARKING ON A CITY STREET, BRAKES BECAME UNRESPONSIVE AND I ALMOST HIT ANOTHER CAR. I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE BRAKE BOOSTER PUMP REPLACED TWICE IN TWO YEARS AND NOW IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN BUT DEALER WON'T ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND BECAUSE IT IS NOT INVOLVED IN A RECALL, WHY I DO NOT KNOW, I MUST PAY OUT OF POCKET. 3 BOOSTER PUMPS IN 2 YEARS BUT NO RECALL???

CAR DOES NOT RUN RIGHT. WHEN ACCELERATING THE CAR DOES NOT BUDGE AND STALLS OUT. FOUND OUT IF THE AC IS OFF IT IS LESS LIKELY TO STALL OUT AFTER STOPPING. WAS TOLD IT IS A POSSIBLE CLOGGED CATALYTIC CONVERTER. THE STABILITRAK AND TRACTION CONTROL WANINGS POP UP. TOOK IT TO AUTO ZONE AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS BAD GAS. SOMETHING IS OFF AND IT'S NOT A EASY DIAGNOSIS.

INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM NOT WORKING. THE STEREO SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. IT WILL TURN ON OR OFF ON WITHOUT INPUT FROM A HUMAN. NOT HAVING A STEREO IS NOT A PROBLEM, BUT THE TURN SIGNALS AND HAZARD LIGHT CLICKING ARE NOT PRESENT WHEN THE RADIO IS NOT OPERATING. NOT HAVING AUDIO OF THE TURN SIGNALS REQUIRES THE DRIVER TO TAKE THEIR EYES OFF THE ROAD TO OBSERVE WHETHER EITHER TURN SIGNAL ARE OPERATING. THIS DRIVER HAS RIDDEN AROUND WITH A TURN SIGNAL FOR SOME LENGTHS OF TIME, POSSIBLY CONFUSING OTHER DRIVERS. THE RADIO AND VEHICLE DINGS AND CLICKS SHOULD BE INDEPENDENT FOR SAFETY ALERTS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET CRUZE. WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, IT TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. A LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.
