2012 CHEVROLET CRUZE Complaints

SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AT ABOUT 29,000 MILES, SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. AFTER DIAGNOSTIC IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE THERMOSTAT HAD GONE BAD, SO THEY REPLACED THE THERMOSTAT AND THE HOLDING MOUNT. THEN SATURDAY ON THE WAY TO WORK THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. I STOPPED FOR GAS THEN THE CAR WOULD NOT RESTART. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE CAM SHAFT SENSOR ALSO WENT BAD. THE CAR ALSO HESITATES WHEN SHIFTING GEARS IN LOW SPEEDS. *TR

I BOUGHT THIS CAR FOR MY DAUGHTER, THE SECOND OR THIRD WEEK AFTER SHE GOT IT SHE STARTED TO NOTICE THE RADIO FLICKERING ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING FOR NO REASON, WHICH EVENTUALLY LED TO THE RADIO FLICKERING CONTINUOUSLY AFTER USING BLINKERS &WINDOWS. "SERVICE STABILITRAK" FLASHES ON THE DISPLAY OFTEN BUT VERY QUICKLY AND GOES OFF. DOESN'T OCCUR EVERY TIME I DRIVE, BUT IT DOES IT MORE TIMES THAN NOT. NOW THE RADIO WILL FLICKER AND I WILL OCCASIONALLY LOSE CRUISE CONTROL AND POWER STEERING. I ALSO HAVE NO BLINKERS/RADIO WHEN THIS HAPPENS. IT USUALLY ONLY HAPPENS BRIEFLY AND WILL RETURN TO NORMAL SOON AFTER, BUT IT CONTINUES TO DO IT OFF AND ON UNTIL I PARK. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THIS OCCURRING WHEN I SHIFT GEARS TO PARK. MOST RECENTLY I WENT TO START MY CAR AND IT JUST CLICKED AND WOULDN'T START. I GOT IT TO START AND IT SAID "SERVICE ANTI THEFT DETERRENT," THEN CHANGED TO "SERVICE POWER STEERING" JUST AS I LOST POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING. "SERVICE STABILITRAK QUICKLY FLASHED NEXT ALL WHILE I LOST BLINKERS, POWER STEERING, AND RADIO. I PARKED, TURNED MY CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT AND IT WAS JUST FINE. IT HAS BEEN TO THE CHEVY DEALER ONCE BUT THEY COULD NOT GET A CODE TO READ BECAUSE THEY CAN'T GET THE RADIO TO FLICKER, ETC BECAUSE IT ONLY HAPPENS EVERY SO OFTEN BUT WHEN IT DOES HAPPEN IT IS SCARY! SO THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO TO FIX IT. PLEASE LOOK INTO IT AS I DO NOT FEEL IT IS SAFE FOR HER TO DRIVE. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR 3 MONTHS NOW AND I DO NOT FEEL LIKE THIS CAR IS RELIABLE WHICH IS THE REASON I BOUGHT IT! THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING THAT CAN BE DONE AS I HAVE READ SEVERAL COMPLAINTS THAT ARE EXTREMELY SIMILAR TO MINE! I ALSO HAVE COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THE PROBLEMS ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO WORSEN AFTER READING THE OTHER COMPLAINTS.IT IS A MAJOR PROBLEM. PLEASE DON'T WAIT UNTIL SOMETHING TRAGIC HAPPENS BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE ABOUT THIS! PLEASE! *TR

2012 CHEVY CRUZE ECO 1.4L TURBO HAS ISSUES WITH SERVICE STABILITRAK MESSAGE, SERVICE POWER STEERING, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, THESE MESSAGES APPEAR WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. ACTIVATED USUALLY BE TURN SIGNAL CAR RADIO AND INSTRUMENT CLUSTER SEEMS LIKE IT SHUTS OFF FOR A SECOND TURN SIGNAL BLINKS BUT NO CLICKING NOISE AFTER 2-3 BLINKS THEN CLICKS. AT TIMES WHEN ON CRUISE CONTROL THE STEP ON BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN WOULD ACTIVATE THE ELECTRICAL GLITCH SPEEDING UP AND SLOWING DOWN ALSO BUT NOT AT MUCH. CAR SEEMS LIKE IT HAS A DECREASE IN POWER. MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH DEALER TO CHECK OUT BUT ITS NOT A RECALL ISSUE. *TR

THE RADIO WOULD GO OFF, AS WELL AS THE DASH LIGHTS AND A WRENCH WOULD APPEAR BUT NO ENGINE CODE WOULD APPEAR. THIS WOULD OCCUR SEVERAL MORE TIMES THEN THE ENTIRE CAR WOULD STALL OUT, OR TURN ITS SELF OFF BASICALLY. THE KEY REMAINS STUCK IN THE IGNITION UNABLE TO TURN THE CAR ON OR REMOVE IT. ALL POWER IS LOST. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO MY CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP MANY TIMES BUT THERE IS NOTHING THAT THEY CAN DO BECAUSE IT DOES NOT ACT UP FOR THEM. WHAT CAN I DO? *TR

WAS INVOLVED IN A CRASH ON THE HIGHWAY. I ALREADY SUBMITTED A COMPLAINT ABOUT MY BRAKES NOT WORKING PROPERLY AT TIME OF CRASH, SEE FILE #10637987. MY BRAKES DID NOT STOP PROPERLY AND RESULTED IN ME HITTING THE BACK OF ANOTHER VEHICLE IN THE FAST LANE OF INTERSTATE 495. DURING COLLISION, NONE OF MY AIRBAGS DEPLOYED EVEN THOUGH THE FRONT BUMPER ON RIGHT SIDE OF VEHICLE WAS COMPLETELY SMASHED IN. INSURANCE HAS PAID ALMOST $8,000 TO REPAIR THE DAMAGE. SHOULDN'T MY AIRBAGS HAVE DEPLOYED? *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, AT A SAFE AND REASONABLE DISTANCE FROM THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME, THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME BRAKED. I STEPPED ON MY BRAKES, AND MY VEHICLE DID NOT STOP PROPERLY. I PRESSED ON MY BRAKES FIRMLY AND MY VEHICLE CONTINUED NOT TO BRAKE/SLOW PROPERLY AND MY VEHICLE CONTINUED GOING FORWARD. THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF MY STOPPED AND MY CAR CONTINUED TO GO FORWARD, CRASHING INTO THE BACK END OF THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I PRESSED ON MY BRAKES AND THEY DIDN'T WORK. I WAS ABLE TO TURN MY VEHICLE TOWARDS THE LEFT TRYING TO AVOID CRASHING INTO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I WAS ABLE TO TURN MY VEHICLE LEFT AND AVOID CRASHING HEAD ON, BUT ENCOUNTERED SEVERE FRONT END DAMAGE TO THE RIGHT PASSENGER SIDE OF MY VEHICLE. ALL I CAN SAY IS, MY BRAKES DID NOT WORK PROPERLY. I PRESSED ON THEM AND MY VEHICLE DID NOT STOP LIKE IT NORMALLY DOES. (THIS VEHICLE IS MY MOTHER'S CAR. I HAVE DRIVEN IT IN THE PAST AND BRAKES WORKED FINE) *TR

THE CAR TURNS OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. WONT ALLOW ME TO REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION. WONT TURN OFF OR ON. DEALER CANT FIND ANY PROBLEMS WHEN TAKEN IN TO SEE WHAT IS CAUSING THIS ISSUES. *TR

I HAVE A 2012 CHEVY CRUZ WITH A TIRE THAT KEEPS LOSING PRESSURE. THE CHEVY GARAGE TOLD ME THAT IT HAS SEVERAL MICRO HOLES AND RECOMMENDED REPLACEMENT AT $250/TIRE AND THAT I NEEDED TO BUY 2 (BECAUSE YOU CAN'T JUST REPLACE ONE). I ASKED THE TECHNICIAN HOW THIS CAN HAPPEN AND HE SAID IT'S NOTHING I DID AND THAT MICHELIN TIRES ARE KNOWN TO HAVE FLAWS SUCH AS THIS BUT NO RECALL ON MY TIRES YET. DOT: B9MT 003X 0912 (P225 45R18) 91W (MICHELIN PILOT HX MXM4) (134388M) . VERY FRUSTRATED AS THIS IS A NEW CAR. *TR

2012 CHEVROLET CRUZE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO COOLANT SMELL IN VEHICLE. *SMD ACCORDING TO THE INVOICE, THE SURGE TANK AND HEATER CORE OUTLET AND WATER PUMP WERE LEAKING. THE CONSUMER HAS SINCE TRADED THE VEHICLE. *JB

I PURCHASED MY CAR 06/25/2014. I NOTICED THAT MY CHECK ENGINE AND AIR BAG LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF. I CONTACTED GM AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE CAR FOR THE AIRBAGS. THE REPRESENTATIVE ASKED ME IF I WAS NOTIFIED BY THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THE RECALL. I WAS NOT NOTIFIED BY THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THE RECALL. *TR
