2014 CHEVROLET CRUZE Complaints

WHILE DRIVING MY RADIO STARTS TO FLASH ON/OFF, STABILITRAK, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHES ON THE DASHBOARD. WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME STIFF. IF I DIDN'T HAVE CONTROL OF MY CAR I WOULD'VE HIT THE CURB AND/OR ANOTHER CAR. ALL WHILE MY KIDS WERE IN THE VEHICLE. I HAVE READ OTHER COMPLAINTS DEALING WITH THE SAME ISSUE, WHY HASN'T THIS BEEN ISSUED AS A SAFETY RECALL YET????

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET CRUZE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WAS COVERED WITH ICE. WHEN THE DEFROSTER WAS ACTIVATED, COLD AIR CAME THROUGH THE AIR VENTS AND THE ICE WAS NOT MELTING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (MAJOR WORLD CHEVROLET, 43-40 NORTHERN BLVD, LONG ISLAND CITY, NY 11101) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE BLOCK POWER CORD WAS DAMAGED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V417000 (EQUIPMENT) IN JANUARY OF 2018. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,659.

I WAS IN MOTION / DRIVING MAKING A RIGHT TURN ON A CITY STREET, USED MY TURN INDICATOR AND THE RADIO SHUT OFF AS WELL AS THE DASHBOARD FLASHED THE TRACTION CONTROL ALERT. I HAVE NOT HAD THIS SITUATION HAPPEN BEFORE BUT IT IS VERY CONCERNING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET CRUZE. WHILE DRIVING 75 MPH, THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTED WHILE STALLING. THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AND THE "REDUCING POWER" AND "DIESEL SHUTTING OFF" WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT PLACED THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL WHILE IT WAS DOWNSHIFTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 97,000.

UNFORTUNATELY, THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THAT MY 2014 CHEVY CRUZE HAS THIS ISSUE. MY ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON WHILE THE STABILOCK SERVICE FLASHES ON THE DASHBOARD; CAR JERKS WHILE EITHER IDLE AND/OR STOPPED; A LOUD SQUEAKING NOISE FROM UNDER THE HOOD (ALL THESE ISSUES ALWAYS START AT THE SAME TIME!!). I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO CHEVY DEALERSHIPS AND THEY HAVE (SUPPOSEDLY) REPLACED THE SAME PART - SHAM COVER (ACCORDING TO MY INVOICES). I TOTALLY DON'T GET WHY THIS IS A NOT A RECALL ISSUE. IT IS VERY FRUSTRATING TO TAKE MY CAR IN FOR THE SAME ISSUE, AND OF COURSE, NOW THAT THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED, I'M SURE IT WILL BE EVEN MORE COSTLY.... WHICH I REALLY THINK IT WILL BE THE SAME THING! (OF COURSE, I'M NOT A MECHANIC, BUT IF I'M TAKING MY CAR IN FOR THE SAME REASON AND THEY DIAGNOSE IT AND REPAIR THAT SAME PART; I'M BEGINNING TO WONDER.... WHY EVEN CHARGE ME FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST WHEN YOUR CHANCES ARE IT'S THE SAME ISSUE!!) IS THIS A PART THAT ONLY LAST A MAXIMUM OF SO MANY MILES? I PURCHASED THE CAR IN 3/2015; AND THE 1ST TIME I RECEIVED SERVICE FOR THIS ISSUE WAS 6/29/2015, AND THEN AGAIN 2/24/2017. I'M SO CONFUSED!!! :( COME ON GM ~ HELP US OUT PLEASE!!

RADIO/SCREEN TURNED OFF AND THE CAR'S STEERING WAS AFFECTED. TWICE WITHIN THE SAME HOUR. I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED. HIGHLY DANGEROUS.

I GOT IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT AND END UP HAVING BROKEN BONES IN MY FACE AND NECK AND BACK PROBLEMS BECAUSE OF MY AIR BAGS NOT COMING OUT. I WAS ON A CITY STREET IN INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA DOWNTOWN. THIS HAS CAUSE I MAJOR BURDEN ON ME BECAUSE NOT BEING ABLE TO WORK AND GOING BACK AND FOURTH TO DIFFERENT DOCTORS APPOINTMENTS.

SEAT BELT WILL NOT ENGAGE WITH RECEPTACLE. THE RECEPTACLE PART OF SEAT BELT IS NOT WORKING . BOTH THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER BELTS ARE DEFECTIVE.

MY 2014 CHEVY CRUZE EXPERIENCED A FUEL LEAK IN THE FUEL SUPPLY HOSE. THE LEAK WAS SPRAYING RIGHT NEAR THE AIR INDUCTION ON THE COWL PANEL AND DRIPPING ONTO THE EXHAUST. OBVIOUSLY THIS WAS A MAJOR FIRE HAZARD. THE ENTIRE FRONT FRONT FUEL FEED LINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. A QUICK YOUTUBE SEARCH SHOWS THAT I AM NOT ALONE IN EXPERIENCING THIS. SEE THE VIDEO BELOW.
