2012 CHEVROLET CRUZE Complaints

THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT HOLD THE CAR IT WILL ROLL BACKWARD WHEN ON AN SLIGHT INCLINE. WHILE ON MY WAY TO WORK I WAS SLOWING TO CROSS A SET OF TRAIN TRACKS ON A STATE HIGHWAY IN A SMALL TOWN AND THE TRANSMISSION WENT COMPLETELY OUT. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE TRACKS. I AM UNSURE OF THE NAME OF THE PART THAT IS BROKEN. AFTER TALKING TO MANY MANY TRANSMISSION SPECIALISTS I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS HAPPENS VERY FREQUENTLY. IT SEEMS THE EXACT SAME THING THAT RECALL 14234 WAS ISSUED FOR HAS ALSO EFFECTED THE CRUZE. I DID HAVE TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED HOME.

WITH HEATER AND FAN ON, NAUSEATING ODOR IS EMITTED FROM THE VENTS. THE ODOR SMELLS LIKE ANTI-FREEZE. THIS ODOR CANNOT BE SAFE TO BE INHALING.

HVAC DOOR ACTUATOR DOES NOT OPERATE CORRECTLY. CAR WILL NOT BLOW AIR ON TO THE WINDSHIELD TO DEFROST THE WINDOW. RESULTS IN POOR TO NO VISIBILITY WHILE DRIVING DUE TO INTERIOR FOG ON THE WINDOWS AND SPRAY FROM OTHER TRAFFIC FREEZING TO THE WINDSHIELD.

AT 45K MILES HAD GAS CAP MESSAGE A COUPLE OF TIMES. THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK IT TO DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT IT WAS EXHAUST MANIFOLD WHICH WAS $1000. I FEEL AT 45K (RURAL TOWN DRIVING) THERE MUST HAVE BEEN SOME DEFECT FOR THIS TO HAPPEN. DOES ANYONE KNOW OF ANY MANUFACTURE PROBLEMS WITH THE MANIFOLD ON CHEVY CRUZE 2012. ALSO HAD PROBLEMS WITH VEHICLE TRYING TO DIE RIGHT BEFORE TAKING IT TO DEALER.

ALL HVAC FUNCTIONS WORKING EXCEPT DEFROSTER (WINDSHIELD) NOT FUNCTIONING. SNOW AND ICE WON'T THAW

MY CARS OVER HEATING SIGNAL COMES ON AND TELLS ME TO SHUT OFF THE CAR ALL THE TIME WHILE DRIVING, ALSO THE POWER STEERING LOCKS UP WHILE TURNING.

CAR RANDOMLY DISPLAYING SERVICE STABILITRAX AND DASHBOARD LIGHTS FLASH RADIO TURNS ON AND OFF. SEEMS TO HAPPEN MORE AT STOPS BUT SOMETIMES WHEN MOVING ALSO. STARTED WITH RADIO TURNING ON AND OFF ONLY BUT NOW INCLUDES THE OTHER ALSO. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR ABOUT A MONTH.

WHILE DRIVING, ON AT LEAST FOUR OCCASIONS, I HAVE LOST POWER COMPLETELY, CAUSING ALL ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONINGS TO STOP, MAKING ME LOSE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE, CAUSING MY LIGHTS TO SHUT OFF, AND ALL OTHER FUNCTIONALITIES OF THE CAR, BESIDES STEERING AND USING INERTIA, RESULTING IN PULLING OVER WITHOUT ENDANGERING MYSELF OR OTHER DRIVERS. THERE ALSO SEEMS TO BE A SKIPPING OR JUMPING INVOLVING THE FUEL INJECTION WHEN ACCELERATING, WHICH MAKES SPEED REGULATION IRREGULAR, SPORADIC, AND DOES NOT ALLOW THE DRIVER TO MAKE ACCURATE JUDGEMENTS ON THE CARS CAPABILITIES CONCERNING TIMING AND DISTANCE TO OTHER DRIVERS. RECENTLY, I WAS IN MOTION DRIVING THROUGH CHATANOOGA, TN, WHERE IT IS MOUNTAINOUS AND HAS STEEP HILLS, DURING NIGHTTIME, SO VISIBILITY WAS LESSENED, AND DANGER, DUE TO THE TYPE OF ROAD IT WAS, WAS INCREASED. WHILE GOING DOWNHILL, LUCKILY, WITH OTHER CARS AROUND ME TRAVELING AT 70 MPH, MY CAR JUST SHUT OFF, COMPLETELY. I LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE, MY LIGHTS SHUT OFF, ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT WITH THE CARS AROUND ME. LUCKILY, I PULLED ONTO THE SHOULDER WITHOUT ANY DAMAGES. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN, ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO, AT A STOP LIGHT. I BEGAN TO ACCELERATE, AND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION, MY CAR SHUT OFF, I HAD TO COAST OFF OF THE ROAD, LOST ALL ACCELERATION, AND AGAIN ALMOST WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT.

MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS HAD STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY NO MOVEMENT AT ALL, THEY WERE MAKING A NOISE WHENEVER YOU TOGGLED THE WIPER CONTROL INSIDE THE CAR. SO I MAD AN APPOINTMENT FOR JAN 5TH, 2018 SO THAT IT COULD BE LOOKED AT AND FIXED. THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS TRANSMISSION THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. IN WHICH I KNEW I HAD BEEN RESEARCHING BEFORE HAND NEEDED TO BE SURE . AUTO SHOP TOLD ME THAT IT WOULD BE $149 FOR THE PART THAT I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR, AND THEY WOULD TAKE CARE OF THE LABOR AND, THEN SHE SAID NO IT WOULD BE $74.00 FOR PART AND I TOLD THEM TO GO AHEAD. THEY SAID THEY NEEDED TO ORDER THE PART AND IT MAY NOT BE THERE THAT DAY. SO I THEN MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THEM MONDAY JANUARY 8,2018 WHEN THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE THE PART DROPPED MY CAR OFF ON THAT SUNDAY JANUARY 7,2018 AND THEY CALLED ME MONDAY@9:30 TELLING ME MY CAR WAS READY SO I PICKED IT UP AFTER WORK.. SKIP FORWARD TO FRIDAY JANUARY 12,2018 I GET READY TO LEAVE FOR WORK AND GO OUTSIDE I CLEAR MY CAR OFF AND MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS AREN'T WORKING.. I SPRAY DE-ICER ON THEM PUT MY DEFROST ON REMOVE ICE AND ALL AND THEY ARE NOT WORKING... IT HAS ONLY BEEN 3 DAYS THAT I'VE HAD MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS TRANSMISSION REPAIRED AND I'M STILL HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE.... I NEED ANSWERS.

MY HUSBAND HAS REALIZED THAT MY CAR IS LEAKING OIL AND HE CAN NOT FIND WHERE IT IS COMING FROM DUE TO THE COLD WEATHER. HE WAS CHANGING THE OIL WHEN HE FOUND THIS.
