2014 CHEVROLET CRUZE Complaints

WHEN THE AIR IS ON THERE IS PART OF THE ENGINE THAT SQUEAKS/WHISTLES. IT CONCERNS ME WITH DRIVING. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO SEVERAL DEALERSHIPS AND THEY CAN NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. IT IS VERY ANNOYING AND WOULD LOVE TO KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY BRAND NEW CAR!

WHILE DRIVING THROUGH THICK FOG, I TURNED THE WHIPERS ON TO WIPE AWAY SWEET FROM THE WINDOW. THE DRIVERS SIDE WIPER WENT UP, AND JUST STUCK THERE. I PULLED OVER AND WAS ABLE TO LOWER THE BLADE, BUT THAT WIPER WILL NOT WORK.

THE FUEL GAUGES, BOTH DIGITAL AND ANALOG, SHOWED THAT THE DISTANCE TO EMPTY WAS 70 MILES. ACTUALLY, THERE WAS NO GASOLINE LEFT IN THE TANK AND THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS HAPPENED TWICE. AFTER THE FIRST TIME, THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER, WEST HERR CHEVROLET IN BUFFALO, NY, WHICH DESCRIBED THE PROBLEM AS RUNNING OUT OF GASOLINE. THE FUEL GAUGES ARE DEFECTIVE. WHEN THE TANK WAS FILLED AFTER RUNNING OUT OF GASOLINE, THE GAUGES CONTINUED TO READ THAT THERE WAS ONLY 70 MILES TO EMPTY FOR AN ADDITIONAL 24 HOURS OR MORE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2014 CHEVROLET CRUZE. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, IT CAUGHT FIRE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS LOW SPEEDS, THE AIR CONDITIONER SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. WHEN THE CONTACT TURNED THE AIR CONDITIONER BACK ON, SMOKE ENTERED INTO THE CABIN. THE CONTACT TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND OPENED THE HOOD, BUT THERE WAS NO SMOKE. UPON CLOSING THE HOOD, THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY FILLED WITH SMOKE AND THE CONTACT NOTICED A FLAME THAT IGNITED UNDER THE DASHBOARD TO THE RIGHT OF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE CONTACT CALLED THE POLICE AND FILED A POLICE REPORT. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED.

VEHICLE RIDING NORMAL AND SUDDENLY STARTS DECELERATING. PUSHING ON GAS PEDAL ONLY MAKES CAR SLOW QUICKER. HAS OCCURRED 3 TIMES ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAYS AND ONCE ON CITY STREETS. HAVE BEEN BACK TO DEALER 3 TIMES UNDER WARRANTY WITH NO FIX. CAR HAS 33,175 MILES AND DEALER WANTS $99 TO "DRIVE IT AROUND AND SEE IF THEY CAN DETERMINE THE CAUSE". TO RESUME DRIVING YOU MUST STOP, SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL, AND GIVE ENGING A BIT OF GAS. THEN YOU CAN RESUME DRIVING NORMALLY. I SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING, BUT AGAIN WHEN I PUSHED ACCELERATOR THE SPEED DROPPED FASTER AGAIN. THE ELECTRONICS GIVE NO CODES OR LIGHTS AND 3 OCCURRENCES WERE AT HIGHWAY SPEED OF 60 MPH WITH NO ROOM TO MANEUVER OVER TO SIDE OF ROAD. TODAY I NEARLY HAD MULTIPLE CARS BEHIND ME CRASH AS THEY BRAKED OR SWERVED TO MISS ME. DEALER IS MARHOFERCHEVROLET IN STOW, OHIO.

CAR ONLY HAS 50,500 MILES ON IT. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON FOR GAS AIR INTAKE PROBLEMS AND MAYBE GASKET PROBLEMS. CAR WILL BE IDLE AT A LIGHT AND THE RPMS WILL REV UP AND DOWN CONSTANTLY. SEEN WHERE A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE WITH EVEN LESS MILES ON THEIR CARS. SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING. $300.00 FIX QUOTE.
