2012 CHEVROLET CRUZE Complaints

CHEVROLET CRUZE RECALL MY 2012 CHEVROLET CRUZE WAS RECALLED TWICE, ONCE OF OVERHEATING WHILE DRIVING, AND ONCE FOR BRAKE FAILURE WHEN CRAWLING, SUCH A PARKING. THE DEALERSHIP TRIED TO FIX THESE PROBLEMS, BUT THE BRAKES STILL FAIL, AND NOW THE USES 1 QUART EVERY WEEK. THE BRAKE FAILURE RECENTLY REOCCURRED WHEN MY SPOUSE WAS PARKING AND SHE HIT A WALL AND DAMAGES THE CAR. THE DEALER HAS SINCE TOLD ME THEY DO NOT KNOW WHY THE CAR IS CONSUMING OIL, SO I HAVE ELEVATED THE ISSUE TO GM I THINK THAT THE NTSB HAS TO FURTHER MONITOR THIS PROBLEM TO ASCERTAIN WHY THE RECALLED ITEMS ARE STILL FAILING.

AC OFF DUE TO HIGH TEMP, THERMOSTAT REPLACED 2014. AC OFF DUE TO HIGH TEMP AGAIN, THERMOSTAT REPLACED MAY 20, 2015.. DEC 27TH, 2015 AC OFF DUE TO HIGH TEMP AGAIN- CAR OVERHEATED IN 10 DEGRE WEATHER. THERMOSTAT BEING REPLACED FOR THE THIRD TIME!! *JS

WHEN CAR IS SHIFTED INTO PARK, AFTER SHUTTING THE CAR OFF THE DIC STATES "SHIFT CAR INTO PARK". I PUSH UP ON THE GEAR SHIFTER THEN THE DIC SCREEN WILL GO OFF AND CAR SEEM TO BE INTO PARK.

MY 2012 CHEVROLET CRUZE STARTING IN SEPTEMBER THIS YEAR 2015 THE CAR HAD 75,000 MILES ON IT WHEN IT STARTED WITH THE DASH LIGHTS, FAN, RADIO AND DISPLAY ALL RANDOMLY SHUTTING OFF AND TURNING ON. SOMETIMES WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE STABILITRACK DISPLAY WILL COME ON AND THIS CAN HAPPEN AT ANYTIME BUT USUALLY WHEN THE CAR IS GOING SLOW OR STOPPED, I FIRST NOTICED IT WHEN APPLYING THE BREAKS. THIS HOWEVER IS NOT THE EXTENT OF IT AS NOW WHEN I SHUT THE CAR OFF IT HAS KEPT MY KEYS AND WOULD NOT START EITHER. EVENTUALLY WHEN THIS HAS HAPPENED FORTUNATELY IT CAME BACK TO LIFE AND DISPLAYED A THEFT PROTECTION DISPLAY. I CALLED THE LOCAL GM DEALER WHO SERVICES MY CAR AND I WAS TOLD THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A PROBLEM HOWEVER WHEN I GO ONLINE THERE ARE DOZENS IF NOT HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS RELATED DIRECTLY TO THESE TYPE OF ISSUES WITH THE CHEVROLET CRUZE. I ALSO POSTED A COMPLAINT ON A CAR WEBSITE TO TRY TO HELP COMMUNICATE THIS ISSUE WITH OTHER CHEVROLET CRUZE OWNERS WHO HAVE THE SAME OR SIMILAR ISSUES.

THE VEHICLE SPORADICALLY WILL NOT STOP DESPITE FLOORING THE BRAKE WHILE IN REVERSE. MOST RECENTLY, I PULLED THE PARKING BRAKE, PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND THEN BACK INTO REVERSE GEAR. THE PROBLEM CORRECTED ITSELF.
