2013 CHEVROLET CRUZE Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET CRUZE. THE CONTACT STATED THA TA COOLANT ODOR EMITTED INTO THE VEHICLE WHENEVER THE HEAT WAS TURNED ON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK COOLANT WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. AFTER INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE COOLANT RESERVOIR WAS FULL AND THAT THE LIGHT ONLY ILLUMINATED WHEN THE HEAT WAS TURN ON. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSIS. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 46,000.

I WAS STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN GETTING READY TO CROSS OVER HWY TO GO NORTH BOUND. A TRUCK CAME OUT OF NOWHERE AND HIT MY DRIVER SIDE FRONT END. MY AIR BAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY. I GOOGLED IT AND SAW THERE IS A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE FOR AIR BAG. I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR 2 WEEKS AGO. SHOULDN'T THE DEALER BE RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING RECALLS BEFORE SELLING THE CAR EVEN IT IS USED. *TR

THERE ARE TIMES WHEN THE CAR WILL SHUT OFF WHILE I AM DRIVING. THE RADIO GOES OFF AND ON, AND THE WARNING OF CHECK STABILITY TRAC, I HAVE VIDEO OF THIS HAPPENING. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN MANY TIMES AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT BECAUSE THEY CAN REPLICATE WHAT I AM SPEAKING ABOUT. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MANY OCCASIONS. *TR

ON JUNE 28, 2014, I BROUGHT MY CHEVY CRUZE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A SAFETY RECALL INSPECTION (N140079) TO INSPECT THE FRONT AXLE RIGHT HALF SHAFT. I WAS TOLD MY VEHICLE DID NOT HAVE A FAULTY AXLE AND NO FURTHER ACTION WAS REQUIRED. THEN ON OCTOBER 20, 2014, AS I WAS EXITING A HIGHWAY OFF RAMP AND MERGING ON TO A MAIN ROAD (AT APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH) THE VEHICLE STOPPED MOVING FORWARD. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP THAT PERFORMED THE SAFETY INSPECTION ON JUNE 28TH. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THE CV AXLE WAS BROKEN AND THE SWAY BAR LINK WAS BROKEN IN HALF. THE DEALERSHIP ADMITTED THAT THIS WAS THE SAME PART THAT WAS INSPECTED AND INVOLVED IN THE RECALL. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THE TECHNICIAN WHO INSPECTED THE AXLE ON JUNE 28TH MADE A MISTAKE. THE DEALERSHIP APOLOGIZED AND ASSURED ME THAT THEY WOULD CALL IN ALL OTHER APPLICABLE CUSTOMERS TO HAVE THEIR AXLES RE-INSPECTED. *TR

I WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK YESTERDAY AND WHEN I WENT TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN, THE SCREEN WENT OUT AGAIN....WHICH IS FINE. WE CAN ALL LIVE WITHOUT AUDIO AND A FANCY SCREEN IN OUR CARS, BUT AS SOON AS THE SCREEN WENT OUT THE POWER STEERING AND STABILITRAK LIGHTS BOTH CAME ON AND MY POWER STEERING COMPLETELY WENT OUT IN MY CAR WHILE I WAS TURNING. I ALMOST HIT A CONCRETE WALL AND THE CARS THAT WERE WAITING FOR THEIR TURN TO GO IN THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC LANES. IT WAS BAD ENOUGH THAT I HAD THAT ISSUE BUT OF COURSE, THERE'S MORE. WE LIVE ON AN ARMY BASE - FORT SILL, IN OKLAHOMA - WE HAVE TO STOP AT THE GATE TO GET ON BASE AND SHOW OUR IDS TO GET HOME. I STOPPED AT THE GATE AND TALKED WITH THE GUARD FOR A MINUTE, SHOWED MY ID AND WENT ON WITH MY BUSINESS.. I STARTED TO DRIVE AWAY AND MY CAR WENT CRAZY AGAIN. I LOST ALL POWER STEERING AGAIN AND ALL OF MY LIGHTS FLICKERED ON AND OFF FOR THREE MINUTES, INSIDE LIGHTS AND OUTSIDE TOO. THE CAR STARTED JERKING LIKE IT WAS TRYING TO CUT OFF, IT FINALLY STOPPED AND I MADE IT HOME BUT I REFUSE TO DRIVE THIS CAR AGAIN. *TR

ON 10-1-14 MY CRUZE ECO WOULD NOT START. AFTER MULTI TRIES AND HEARING ONLY CLICKING SOUNDS IT DID START. AFTER GETTING TO MY DESTINATION AND LETTING THE CAR SIT FOR HOURS IT DID THE SAME THING AGAIN. CONTACTED DEALER WAS TOLD TO BRING CAR IN WHICH I DID ON 10-3-14. AFTER A WEEK, THEY STATED THEY SHOWED THE ALT WAS NOT CHARGING AND REPLACED IT THEN AGAIN BECAUSE 1ST ONE THEY RECEIVED FROM G.M WAS DEFECTIVE. ON 10-10-14 PICKED UP CAR STARTED IT UP WENT HOME AND LET SIT FOR ABOUT A HOUR THEN TRIED TO START AND AGAIN IT ONLY CLICKED BUT THIS TIME THERE WAS 3 MESSAGES AND ONE WAS TO ROLL WINDOW UP AND DOWN? WHY? DOES THESE CRUZES HAVE ELECTRICAL ISSUES OR COMPUTER ISSUES? CONTACTED SELLING DEALER AGAIN AND WAS TOLD TO BRING IT BACK WHICH I DID ON 10-13-14. WAITING ON MY NEW CRUZE AGAIN TO BE FIXED AND WONDERING WHY DO THESE 5 STAR CRUZES HAVE SO MANY PROBLEMS ACCORDING TO WHAT I HAVE BEEN READING THE LAST FEW DAYS WITHOUT G.M DOING SOMETHING. I AM NOT SATISFIED WITH THIS CAR. *TR

THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE TO WHICH MY YOUNGER BROTHER WAS SITTING.
