2014 CHEVROLET CRUZE Complaints

SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT FLASHED WITH MESSAGES TO SERVICE BOTH STABILITRAK AND TRACTION CONTROL. LATER THAT SAME DAY NOTICED JERKING OF ENGINE SO STRONG IT SHOOK THE CAR WHILE IDLING AND CONSTANT LOUD SQUEELING NOISE. ALSO NOTICED THE VEHICLE LAGS ON ACCELERATION/TAKE OFF AFTER IDLING. THIS HAPPENED AT APPROX 29,500 MILES.

I'VE ONLY HAS THE CAR A LITTLE OVER A YEAR. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON LAST MONTH. I WENT TO HAVE IT CHECKED AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. I ALSO HAD A SECUND OPINION FINE AND WAS TOLD THE SAME. THERE IS NO REASON WHY THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER SHOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED SO SOON. I GAVE BEEN CHECKING FOR RECALLS AND HAVEN'T FOUND ANYTHING YET.

MY CAR LOSES ACCELERATION WHEN DRIVING. IT ALMOST STOPS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. I AM TRYING TO GO BUT WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS IT DOESN'T GO. I HEAR SOMETHING UNDERNEATH WHEN I TRY TO PUT MY PUT ON THE GAS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET CRUZE. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE HEATER FOR THE DIESEL FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

THE TURN LIGHT REFLECTORS FELL OUT OF BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDES. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I AM TRING TO FIND A WAY TO REPLACE JUST THAT SPECIFIC PART BUT CAN NOT SEEM TO FIND THAT SPECIFIC PART.

FOR THE ATLEAST 5 MONTHS MY CAR HAS BEEN STUGGLING TO ACCELERATE WHEN COMING FROM A STOP OR DRIVING ON BOTH CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS. ALSO MY RADIO WOULD GO OUT FOR SOME REASON WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS.

WHILE DRIVING IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC ON A HWY OF A SPEED OF ABOUT 10-15 MPH THE BRAKES FAILED TO WORK. THERE WAS A POLICE OFFICE ONE CAR BEHIND WHO WITNESSED THE BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON BUT THE CAR DID NOT STOP. THE DRIVER ATTEMPTED TO AVOID THE CAR IN FRONT OF THEM BY TRYING TO GET INTO THE SHOULDER. THE CAR COLLIDED WITH A TRUCK IN FRONT ON IT. THE IMPACT WAS WITH THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE AND THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE OF THE TRUCK. WHEN THE OFFICER HAD THE DRIVER TAKE THE CAR OUT OF PARK AND TO TRY TO MOVE IT OUT OF TRAFFIC THE CAR BEGAN TO ROLL BACK AND WAS ONLY STOPPED BY THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. THE OFFICER THEN HAD THE DRIVER OF THE TRUCK GET OUT AND TRY TO DRIVE THE CHEVY CRUZE OUT OF TRAFFIC ONLY TO HAVE THAT DRIVER AGREE THAT THE BRAKES WERE NOT WORKING. DURING THE REPAIR PROCESS CHEVY HAD THE CAR FOR OVER A MONTH AND HAD TO REPLACE THE ELECTRONIC BRAKE SYSTEM AS THE LIGHT WAS ON THAT THAT IS WAS FAILING. I AM GETTING THE REPORTS OF THE REPLACEMENT OF THE FAILED BRAKE SYSTEM THIS WEEK FROM THE REPAIR SHOP.

HAD I HEAD ON CRASH AND THE AIR AGES DID NOT DEPLOY AT ALL ?? I HAVE NECKLACE AND BACK PAIN WAS IN THE HOSPITAL FOR 19 HOURS. AND NEED TO GET MY BASIC FIXED I HIT MY HEAD AS WELL . BUT IF THE AIR BAGS WORKED I THINK THAT IT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN AS BAD .I WAS MOVING ABOUT 35 MPH AND HE WAS ABOUT 4O TO 45 MPH AND HE TURN INTO ME.

FUMES FROM ENGINE COMPARTMENT, ARE BEING DRAWN INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT AIR DUCTS. VERY NOTICEABLE AT START UP, AND WHILE SITTING IDLE. ( STOP LIGHTS, IN TRAFFIC, ETC THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW. IN AUGUST 2014

MY CRUZE DIESEL AROUND 30K MILES, HAD AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE WHICH RESULTED IN THE DEALERSHIP REPLACING THE RADIO AND OTHER ELECTRICAL NODES. AROUND 40K MILES THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR WENT BAD. NONE OF WHICH WERE COVERED BY THE DEALERSHIP SO I HAD TO PAY FOR IT MYSELF. SINCE 45K MILES, THE CAR HAS RANDOMLY POPPED UP A MESSAGE SAYING THE ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED. I TRAVEL TO LARGE URBAN AREAS AND THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME IN THE WORST OF SITUATIONS AND I AM LUCKY TO BE ALIVE DUE TO THIS ISSUE. THIS NOW COMES ON OFTEN AND IS NOT COVERED BY THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP I WENT TO. I JUST PURCHASED THIS CAR IN 2014. SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING THE LEMON LAW
