2014 CHEVROLET CRUZE Complaints

WHEN DRIVING STRAIGHT, THE STEERING WHEEL OFTEN "STICKS" IN ONE POSITION. IF I'M STEERED JUST SLIGHTLY TO THE LEFT, IT'LL STICK GOING SLIGHTLY TO THE LEFT AND IT TAKES A BIT MORE EFFORT TO "BUST IT" LOOSE TO CORRECT YOUR DIRECTION. SAME IS TRUE IF EXACTLY STRAIGHT OR SLIGHTLY TO THE RIGHT. IT DOESN'T FEEL DANGEROUS, BUT IS LESS THAN TOTALLY SAFE AS THE WHEEL TYPICALLY OVERSTEERS THE OTHER DIRECTION WHEN USING ADDITIONAL EFFORT TO CORRECT MY DRIFTING. THIS OCCURS USUALLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND DOESN'T NECESSARILY REQUIRE GOING IN THE SAME STRAIGHT DIRECTION FOR A LONG TIME. I ENTERED TODAY'S DATE AS A SINGLE DATE IS REQUIRED BUT IT OCCURS VERY FREQUENTLY, ESPECIALLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2014 CHEVROLET CRUZE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE POWER STEERING SUDDENLY FAILED AND THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN. THE DRIVER LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND CRASHED INTO A DITCH. IT WAS UNKNOWN IF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED A CONCUSSION, WHICH REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 67,000.

I HAVE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED IN JULY OF 2015 FROM THE CHEVROLET SCHUMACHER DEALERSHIP LOCATED IN NORTH PALM BEACH, FLORIDA I CURRENTLY HAVE 61,939MI. MY LAST OIL CHANGE WAS IN 12/2016 AND IS DUE AT 64,000MI. TO DATE I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE FROM INSTALLING NEW SPARK PLUGS, BRAKES THAT SOUND LIKE AN AMTRAK TRAIN, AND NOW MY ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND MY BUMPER-TO-BUMPER WARRANTY IS ALREADY EXPIRED AT LIKE 33,000MI. SO NOW I FALL UNDER THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY WHICH COVERS YOUR ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION. HOWEVER I AM NOT SURE WHAT IS CAUSING MY ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON, I REALLY DON'T WANT TO PAY $160.00 FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND THEN HAVE TO PAY ON TOP OF THAT $800 FOR AN ISSUE WITH MY ENGINE. I SHOULDN'T BE HAVING THESE PROBLEMS ESPECIALLY SINCE IT WILL MARK MY 2 YEAR ANNIVERSARY HAVING THIS VEHICLE IN JULY 2017.I AM VERY DISPLEASED RIGHT NOW AND WOULD LIKE THIS ISSUE TO BE INVESTIGATED AND THAT SOMEONE FROM THIS GOVERNMENT AGENCY CONTACT THE DEALER LOCATED IN NORTH PALM BEACH SO THEY CAN FIND OUT WHAT EXACTLY IS WRONG WITH MY CAR. SOMETHING LIKE THIS SHOULD HAPPEN TO CARS THAT ARE 5 YEARS OLD NOT 1 1/2 YEARS OLD. *TR

YABBA DABBA DOO IS WHAT YOU'LL BE SAYING AFTER YOU ATTEMPT TO FLINTSTONE THIS HUNK OF JUNK FROM GM. SUCH A WASTE OF METAL. I'D LOVE TO SEE SOMEONE FROM CORPORATE ATTEMPT TO TAKE THEIR FAMILY WHO IS RECENTLY PARALYZED & A 13 YR OLD WHOSE HAD 4 OPEN HEART SURGERIES TRY TO PEDAL OFF THE FREEWAY BC IT SHUT OFF & ON WHILE OVERHEATING & TRYING TO PRY THE KEY OUT THE IGNITIIN. I'VE TOWED IT TO AND FROM THE DEALERSHIP TO SPEND MONEY I PRACTICALLY COUNTED IN CHANGE BECAUSE I LOST MY JOB DUE TO NO DEPENDABLE RIDE. STILL PAYING NOTES ON A CAR & MECHANIC FEES HAS TRULY SHOWN ME HOW SELFISH & GREEDY SOME CAN BE. I'M PASSED TO THE NEXT PERSON WHO KEEPS ME ON HOLD TO INFORM ME OF HOW TRULY SORRY THEY ARE THAT THEY CAN'T HELP. APPARENTLY GM FEELS IT'S SAFE SO HOW ABOUT COME SAVE ME FROM THIS HEADACHE, I'LL GLADLY LET YOU TEST DRIVE. MY FAVORITE SONG IS "EVERY LIGHT IN THE CAR IS IN"

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET CRUZE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SUN ROOF SHATTERED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE OR REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

A FEW WEEKS AFTER TAKING MY CHEVY CRUZE DIESEL IN FOR A RECALL FOR A O2 SENSOR THE CAR'S OTHER O2 SENSOR AND CONTROLLER NEEDED REPLACING AFTER THE CAR WENT INTO A EXHAUST FLUID QUALITY LIMP MODE. THE ISSUE APPEARS TO BE RELATED TO THE RECALL BUT GM IS CHARGING ME OVER $800.00 FOR THE REPAIR.

WHILE DRIVING IT SHUT OFF & ON CAUSING POWER STEERING TO GO OUT AND THE LIGHTS TO GO OFF. ALSO THE KEY COULDN'T COME OUT EVEN WITH FORCE. *TR
