2014 CHEVROLET CRUZE Complaints

I WAS DRIVING EAST ON THE ROAD. THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME SUDDENLY STOPPED AND I WAS UNABLE TO STOP BEFORE HITTING THEM. I DO FEEL I WAS FOLLOWING AT A SAFE DISTANCE BUT FOR SOME REASON THE CAR DID NOT SLOW DOWN OR STOP AS I FEEL IT SHOULD HAVE. THE FRONT END OF THE CAR CRUMPLED THOUGH THE AIR BAGS NEVER DEPLOYED AND THE ONSTAR CRASH RESPONSE NEVER ACTIVATED. THERE WAS ALSO VERY MINIMAL, IF ANY, DAMAGE TO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME (POSSIBLY DENTED THE BUMPER). ON A SIDE NOTE, I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR FOR 2 MONTHS NOW AND HAVE ONLY BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE IT FOR APPROXIMATELY 17 DAYS BECAUSE I HAVE TO KEEP TAKING IT BACK TO THE SHOP TO BE WORKED ON FOR MALFUNCTIONS IN OTHER SYSTEMS OF THE BRAND NEW CAR. I AM CONCERNED THAT THERE MAY HAVE BEEN A MALFUNCTION WITH THE BRAKES SYSTEM OR AIRBAGS AS WELL.

THE VEHICLE SIDE WINDOWS AND OUTER EDGES OF THE WINDSHIELD WOULD FOG UP AND THE DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER WOULD NOT CLEAR THE CONDITION. THE COLDER IT WAS OUTSIDE AND THE FURTHER I DROVE THE VEHICLE THE WORSE IT GOT. THIS HAPPENED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS BEFORE THE DEALER FINALLY MOSTLY CORRECTED IT.I SAY MOSTLY BECAUSE THE VEHICLE STILL IS QUITE SLOW TO DEFOG THE WINDOWS IN VERY COLD CONDITIONS. IT IS MUCH BETTER BUT STILL NOT WHAT I WOULD CONSIDER OPTIMAL. *TR

WINDOWS STEAM AND FOG FREQUENTLY AND THE FAN DOES NOT CLEAR ALL WINDOWS. WINDSHIELD CENTER WILL ONLY DEFROST WHEN ON LOW SPEED. IT WILL NOT MAINTAIN A CLEAR VIEW UNLESS ON HIGH SPEED AND THEN SOMETIMES THE LOWER CORNERS OF THE WINDSHIELD STAY STEAMED OR FOGGED.. *TR

CLASSIC CHEVROLET IN GRANBURY TX SOLD ME A 2014 CHEVY CRUZ THAT HAD A BROKEN AXLE AND WAS A OUTSTANDING RECALL. I TRIED TO RETURN CAR FOR THIS REASON BUT THEY WOULD NOT TAKE IT. THE CAR THEN SAT AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR APPROXIMATELY 2 MONTHS WAITING FOR PARTS AND I ONCE AGAIN TRIED TO TURN CAR IN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET CRUZE. WHILE DRIVING 17 MPH, THE VEHICLE SLID ON THE ICY ROAD. THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL AND CRASHED INTO ANOTHER PARKED VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY.

IT WAS RAINING, AND APPROXIMATELY 40 DEGREES AS INDICATED BY THE CAR THERMOMETER. I WAS DRIVING AND THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WERE GOING AND CLEARING THE RAIN PER NORMAL OPERATION. SUDDENLY THE DRIVERS SIDE WIPER ONLY WENT UP ABOUT ONE-QUARTER OF THE WAY OF NORMAL AND THE PASSENGER SIDE WENT CLEAR OVER THE STUCK DRIVERS SIDE WIPER. DESPITE ALL ATTEMPTS TO FIX IT AT THE CLOSEST GAS STATION I COULDN'T FIND OUT WHERE THE PROBLEM OCCURRED, BUT I DID SEE THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE COULD NOT GO UP AND DOWN BY PULLING IT MANUALLY, BUT THE DRIVERS SIDE WOULD FREELY GO UP AND DOWN JUST BY MOVING IT MANUALLY. I COULDN'T SEE MUCH OF ANYTHING AFTER THAT, BUT GOT THE CAR HOME. *TR
