2011 CHEVROLET CRUZE Complaints

I PURCHASED A USED 2011 CHEVY CRUZE LT THREE MONTHS AGO. PRIER OWNER OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR 3 YEARS AND HARDLY DROVE IT. I WAS SITTING AT A LIGHT WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON THE "ENGINE POWER REDUCED" FLASHED ON MY SCREEN. THE CAR SLOWED TO 2 MPH. I PULLED OVER AND TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE. LATER I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WHEN I STARTED TO DRIVE "SERVICE ESP" FLASHED ON MY SCREEN, THEN "SERVICE TRACTION" FLASHED ON MY SCREEN FOLLOWING BY "ENGINE POWER REDUCE." THIS HAPPENED TO ME 3 TIMES IN THE SAME TRIP AND IS VERY DANGEROUS. I THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE SNOWY WEATHER AND FREEZING TEMPERATURE? ANYONE HAVE THIS HAPPEN? HOW CAN I FIX IT? HELP!? *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT NO SPECIFIC SPEED THE CAR ALERTS AND SAYS CHECK ENGINE, REDUCED ENGINE SPEED, AND CHECK STABILIZER TRACTION CONTROL. THE ENGINE THEN POWERS DOWN AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE. I WAS RECENTLY DRIVING AND THIS HAPPENED, TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT I ENDED UP IN A DITCH AND HAD TO BE TOWED OUT. I HAD THE CAR REPAIRED WHICH WAS COSTLY AND WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY CHEVY OFFERS. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS DEFECT ON THE CAR AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AS A RECALL, DUE TO THE FIRST TIME I TRIED TO HAVE THE CAR REPAIRED I WAS TOLD IT WAS GONNA BE 4-6 WEEKS TO WAIT ON THE PART BECAUSE THEY WERE ON BACK ORDER BECAUSE THEY HAVE HAD QUITE A FEW CARS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. WHEN I ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE WITH CHEVY THEY HAD NO CONCERN THAT A CAR LOSING POWER WHILE TRAVELING WAS NO BIG DEAL. I WAS NEARLY REAR ENDED BY A SEMI-TRUCK AND WAS FORCED INTO A DITCH. *TR

LEAVING A PARKING LOT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL BEGAN TO BLINK ON AND OFF EVERY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED TO COME ON AND OFF. POWER STEERING WAS LOST FOR A SHORT PERIOD. STILL IN THE PARKING LOT AT A STOP SIGN TURN THE ENGINE OFF. THE CAR WAS COMPLETELY DEAD, NO LIGHTS NO CLICKING NOISE WHEN YOU ATTEMPT TO RE START. OPENED HOOD CHECKED THE NEW BATTERY WIGGLED THE CABLES INTERIOR LIGHTS CAME ON AND CAR STARTED UP. SINCE THEN IT HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES EACH EVENT GETTING WORSE. EVENTUALLY IT DIED AND WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND IS BEING LOOKED AT. THIS SEEMS TO BE COMMON WITH CHEVROLET CRUZE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET CRUZE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT COOLANT WAS LEAKING FROM THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, WHENEVER THE HEATER WAS ACTIVATED, A BURNING ODOR WAS PRESENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

I WAS DRIVING ON MY WAY TO THE STORE, SUDDENLY I STARTED SMELLING SOMETHING BURNING. I THE THOUGHT THAT THE SMELL WAS COMING FROM OUTSIDE. BUT IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON DECEMBER 31ST WHEN I WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK. I DIDN'T SEE ANY SMOKE, BUT I SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING. THE FUMES WERE COMING FROM THE VENT. THIS NEEDS TO BE CHECKED OUT. *JS

THE CHEVROLET CRUZE 2011 IS COMPROMISED BY HACKING AND TAMPERING AND ALLOWS FOR THE ENDANGERMENT OF THE DRIVE, OTHER MOTOR VEHICLE DRIVERS OR PEDESTRIANS. THE RADIO ANTENNA WILL SOUND OFF AND CONSTANTLY MAKE A ROAMING NOISE AS IF BEING ACCESSED. THIS IS AT EVERY STOP SIGN AND EVERY STOP LIGHT OR EVERY DESTINATION REACHED BY GPS MARKERS. THE CRUZE SYSTEM IS ALLOWING THE 24/7 TRACKING WHEN IT IS USED AND TAMPERING WITH THE INTENT TO CAUSE MALFUNCTION OR ANNOYANCE. THE THROTTLE IS BEING CUT OFF DELIBERATELY AT STOP SIGNS, AND TRAFFIC LIGHTS AND DESTINATIONS, THE RADIO ANTENNA WILL CONSTANTLY MAKE A ROAMING NOISE "SEARCHING OR ACCESS". THE VEHICLE IS DELIBERATELY BEING USED FOR STALKING BLACKS FOR HATE CRIMES WHILE TESTING OUT VEHICLE HALTING SYSTEMS BY CLEARLY SATELLITE. THIS HAS HAPPENED 100 OR SO TIMES IN THE 3 YEAR I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE AND THERE IS NO REMEDY. WHEN OTHER PERSONS USE MY OWN VEHICLE THESE ISSUE DO NOT ARISE AND I HAVE CONFIRMED THIS WITH OTHER OWNERS, MY VEHICLE IS A UNIQUE OCCURRENCE THAT INVOLVES ALSO A HATE CRIME IN PUBLIC, POLICE STALKING, LAW ENFORCEMENT STALKING, HOME STALKING AND TAMPERING OF ALL ELECTRONIC DEVICES I OWN OR USE IN MY HOME. THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE AND THE THROTTLE CUT OFFS ARE DELIBERATE AND SPECIFIC. THE THROTTLE AS I SAID ALREADY IS CUT OFF AT A STOP SIGN OR MID ACCELERATION WITH THE INTENT TO REMOVE OPERATOR CONTROL AND HALT THE VEHICLE. THE LIGHTS ARE TURNED ON AND OFF ON THEIR OWN ON ONE OCCASION. I HAVE HAD OTHER PEOPLE TEST THE CAR, THESE THINGS DO NOT OCCUR EVEN WHILE I AM IN THE PASSENGER SIDE. ONLY WHEN I AM THE SOLE INDIVIDUAL DRIVING THE VEHICLE ALONE IS THE THROTTLE CUT OFF AND THE LIGHTS TAMPERED WITH INCLUDING THE ANTENNA FOR STALKING AND TRACKING WHERE I GO. THIS IS MY SECOND FILING TO ADDRESS WHITE SUPREMACY UNDER THE COLOR OR LAW THAT INTERFERES WITH PERSONAL PROPERTY AND USE AND CONTROL OF PROPERTY. *JS

HEATER AT FIRST DID NOT WORK; DEALER REMOVED AIR BUBBLES AND TOPPED OFF RADIATOR. THE DEALER MECHANICS MENTIONED THAT TYPICALLY THE THERMOSTATS OR TEMPERATURE SENSORS HAVE GONE IN THE CRUZES. 2 WEEKS LATER - SURE ENOUGH, BACK AT DEALERSHIP - NEED 2 TEMPERATURE SENSORS NOW. BASED ON BLOG ACTIVITIES - IT SEEMS LIKE THESE WARRANT A RECALL. *TR

I WAS PULLING OUT OF A GAS STATION, USE TO MY NORMAL POWER AND ALMOST GOT HIT BECAUSE MY CAR WOULDN'T GO OVER 15MPH FLOORED. THEN LOOKED DOWN AND SAW A ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED, SERVICE STABILI TRAK AND SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL. SO I TOOK TO A MECHANIC HE HOOKED IT UP AND THE CODE SHOWED UP AS MY THROTTLE BODY POSITION SENSOR. THEY REPLACED IT AND DROVE IT AND IT DROVE FINE FOR ABOUT TWO WEEKS. I WAS JUST GOING DOWN THE ROAD THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR DID THE SAME THING. I LOST POWER SO FAST THAT I ABOUT GOT REAR ENDED. TOOK IT BACK TO THE BODY SHOP AND SHOWED THE SAME CODE SO THEY REPLACED THE PART AGAIN. AND TWO DAYS AFTER ALL THIS MY CAR IS DOING THIS AGAIN. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AT HOW IT LOOSES ENGINE POWER. IT LOOSES IT SO FAST THAT SOMEONE CAN GET HURT EXTREMELY BAD. *TR

INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE CHROME PLASTIC OVER IS PEALING OFF, WITH SHARP EDGES EXPOSED. IT EASILY CAUSES CUTS, AND SCRATCHES. *TR
