2011 CHEVROLET CRUZE Complaints

THE CAR HAD BEEN JERKING WHEN I PUT IN REVERSE, AND TAKING A DEW SECONDS TO GO WHEN I ACCELARATED. THE REVERSE WENT OUT AND I HAD TO TAKE IT TO A MECHANIC WHO TOLS ME I WOULS NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION WHICH WILL COST 3.7K THE CAR HAS ONLY 69K MILES HAD REGULAR OIL CHANGES.

HELLO. MY COMPLAINT IS ABOUT THE KEYS ON MY 2011 CHEVROLET CRUZE LS MANUAL MODEL. THE METAL KEY SEPARATES FROM THE KEY FOB. IT HAS DONE THIS ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS, ON TWO DIFFERENT FOBS. THE FIRST TWO TIMES MY CHEVROLET DEALER COVERED IT UNDER WARRANTY AND FIXED IT. THE WARRANTY IS OVER NOW. AT ANY RATE, THIS SHOULDN'T HAPPEN TO CAR KEYS! IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE, AND A NUISANCE AS WELL! IF THIS SHOULD HAPPEN TO SOMEBODY IN AN AREA WHERE IT'S UNSAFE, OR THE WEATHER IS BAD, ETC, IT COULD TURN OUT TO BE UNSAFE...BECAUSE THE KEY IS BROKEN OFF FROM THE FOB AND IT'S UNLIKELY ONE WOULD BE ABLE TO RIG IT UP TO GET THE CAR STARTED...AND SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BECAUSE IT SHOULD NOT BREAK IN THE FIRST PLACE! THANK YOU! HOPE I CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. PS: VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN THIS HAS OCCURRED. STILL...NOT GOOD! *TR

POSSIBLE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. DASH BOARD RANDOMLY LIGHTS UP; RADIO HAS GONE COMPLETELY OFF; STEERING WHEEL DIFFICULT TO TURN; SECURITY LOCK OUT ENGAGED ONCE; TRACTION CONTROL CAME ON AND HARD TO STEER AND SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THIS INCIDENTS ARE HAPPENING RANDOMLY AND HAD NEAR MISS ON HIGHWAY NOT EXPECTING THE STEERING TO LOCK UP OR BECOME EXTREMELY DIFFICULT. THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER LAST SEVERAL MONTHS. INDEPENDENT CAR REPAIR SHOP COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING, BUT STILL HAPPENS.

TRANSMISSION JERKS EXTREMELY HARD. WHEN AIR IS ON CAR FAILS TO ACCELERATE AT ALL. IDLES ON ITS OWN, JUMPS GEARS ALWAYS. FUEL SYSTEM IS BAD, IT CHOKES CONSTANTLY AND WONT START SOME DAYS. IT VIBRATES EXTREMELY HARD AND I HAD IT SERVICED 1 MONTH AGO FOR SHAFT CASE. THIS IS THE WORST CAR EVER!!!!!!! ITS A DANGER TO DRIVE IT WONT PICK UP SPEED AND WHEN THE AIR IS ON IT WONT MOVE AT ALL. IF STILL AT A LIGHT, IT WILL JERK EXTREMELY HARD TO WHERE IT JERKS ME. WHEN IN PARK IT IDLES ITSELF. IF I'M ENTERING ONTO THE HIGHWAY IT WONT PICK UP SPEED EVEN IF THE AIR IS NOT ON. WHEN I REVERSE AND GO BACK TO PARK IT JERKS EXTREMELY HARD. I HATE THIS CAR!!! SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T WANT TO STOP.
