I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AROUND 6 AM MY DASH BOARD BLINKED OFF AND ON AND SHOWED AN ERROR "TRACTION CONTROL/STABILITRACK." I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AT LEAST 3 TIMES AND THEY TELL ME WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN THEIR CARE IT DOES HAPPEN. THE LAST TIME I LET THEM KEEP THE VEHICLE FOR A 1 1/2 WEEKS AND IT HAPPEN THE NEXT DAY I DROVE IT. NOW I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHO IS GOING TO REIMBURSE ME FOR THE RENTAL I NEEDED. *TR

PREVIOUSLY TO THE VISIT MY CAR WAS RUNNING SLOW AND KEPT MARKING ENGINE SPEED REDUCED THEN ABOUT A WEEK LATER THE CAR SIGN REMOVED AND STARTED RUNNING NORMALLY AGAIN. ABOUT A MONTH OR SO PASSED AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN THEN I TOOK THE CAR IN AND THEY FIXED IT BUT AFTER THAT THE BLUETOOTH DIDN'T WORK AND THE NAVIGATIONAL COMPASS STOPPED WORKING. EVER SINCE THEN THE BLUETOOTH AND NAVIGATIONAL COMPASS HAS NOT WORKED AND I JUST RUN THE RISK OF THE ENGINE REDUCE SIGN TO POP UP AGAIN CAUSE IT COMES UP SPONTANEOUSLY. *TR

I WAS DRIVING TO MY PARENTS HOUSE AND WAS AT A PLACE WHERE I HAD TO TURN SO I TURNED AND MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND I ALMOST HIT SOMEONE BECAUSE MY STEERING WHEEL WOULDN'T TURN. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND EVERY TIME STABILITY TRACK POPS UP ON MY SCREEN AND MY RADIO FLICKERS ON AND OFF AND MY BLINKER DOESN'T MAKE A SOUND WHEN THIS HAPPENS. NOW MY BRAKES ARE STARTING TO ACT UP TOO WHEN I PRESS THE BRAKES SOMETIMES IT ROCKS BACK AND FOURTH WHILE I'M STOPPED ALSO THE CAR MAKES A FUNNY NOISE WHILE IN PARK. *TR

I PURCHASED MY 2012 CHEVY CRUZE BACK IN AUGUST 2012 AT THE CHEVY DEALER IN MONTEBELLO WITH "0" MILES. TWO WEEKS AFTER I PURCHASED THE CAR IT BEGAN TO GIVE ME PROBLEMS. IT BEGAN TO MAKE THIS VERY LOUD NOISE LIKE IF I WAS DRIVING A TRAILER. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AN I WAS TOLD IT WAS NORMAL WHICH IS BS BECAUSE I'VE NEVER HEARD A SMALL CAR THAT MAKES NOISE LIKE THAT. I WASN'T ALLOWED TO GET REFUNDED I WAS JUST GIVEN A BUNCH OF BS. A MONTH LATER IT KEPT DOING THE SAME THING BUT THIS TIME THE NOISE WAS COMING FROM THE HOOD, TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND NOTHING. 3RD TIME I FILED A COMPLAINT AND SAID I WAS GOING TO FILE A LAWSUIT AND THE TOOK MY CAR IN AN APPARENTLY THEY HAD TO CHANGE MY RADIATOR, FAN, BRAKES ALONG WITH THE DISK. EVEN AFTER ALL THIS MY CAR CONTINUED DOING THE SAME THING BUT NOW IT TURNS OFF!! I TRIED TO TURN ON MY CAR THIS SATURDAY AND IT JUST WOULDN'T START. IT SAID SOMETHING ABOUT THEFT, I DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY AND THEN IT GAVE A MESSAGE ABOUT CHECK POWER STEERING! THIS WILL BE MY 5TH TIME TAKING IT IN! I THINK I HAVE GOTTEN RIPPED OFF!! I REGRET PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE!! NOW IM STUCK WITH A JACKED UP CAR AND A VERY HIGH CAR PAYMENT THAT IS NOT EVEN WORTH PAYING FOR. AND TO TOP IT OFF THE DEALER I PURCHASED IT FROM IS NO HELP!! THEY SEEM TO GET UPSET EVERY TIME YOU TAKE THE CAR AND TELL THEM THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH IT. IM A MOTHER OF 3 AND MY BIGGEST FEAR IS SOMETHING HAPPENING TO MY CHILDREN BECAUSE OF THIS. I PURCHASE THIS CAR BECAUSE I NEEDED SOMETHING RELIABLE SINCE IM ALWAYS ON THE ROAD. ONE THING FOR SURE, IF ANY OF MY CHILDREN GET HURT BECAUSE OF THIS I WILL FILE A LAWSUIT BECAUSE YOU GUYS ARE RECEIVING MANY COMPLAINTS AND YOU ARE NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT.!! *TR

FROM THE BEGINNING I HAD A RECALL FOR THE OIL PAN A WEEK AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR. THERE HAS BEEN NUMEROUS TIMES THE HEATING HAD TO BE WORKED ON AND STILL NOT FIXED. IT STILLS SMELLS LIKE ANTIFREEZE WHEN ITS ON. THE RIGHT BRAKE CYLINDER WENT BAD A FEW MONTHS AFTER THE PURCHASED. THE WINDSHIELD SOMETIMES WHISTLES WHEN YOU GO DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH. NOW AFTER MY LAST OIL CHANGE THE OTHER DAY, THEY SAID I NEED TO TAKE IT BACK BECAUSE THERE IS A TRANSMISSION LEAK. NOT TO MENTION WHERE I GOT THE CAR FROM, THEY ACT LIKE THEY DON'T CARE TO HELP FIX THE PROBLEM. VERY FRUSTRATED! *TR

LOSS OF BRAKE ASSIST AT START UP. OCCURED (4) TIMES AFTER RECALL #12213 WAS PERFORMED BY DEALER. *TR

FIRST THE CAR WOULD NOT START. AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS IT DID START AND SERVICE ANTI THEFT SYSTEM FLASHED. SHORTLY AFTER, WHILE STOPPED, ALL OF THE DASH LIGHTS BEGAN FLICKERING ON AND OFF CAUSING MULTIPLE SERVICE CODES TO FLASH. THEN WHILE DRIVING THE POWER STEERING WOULD STOP WORKING AT RANDOM TIMES. *TR

ON SEVERAL OCCURRENCES THE BRAKES FROM MY 2012 CHEVY CRUZE HAVE FAILED TO WORK. THIS IS ESPECIALLY TRUE WHEN BACKING UP. THE BRAKE PEDAL GETS REALLY HARD AND YOU REALLY NEED TO PUSH HARD ON BRAKE PEDAL TO SLOW DOWN, VEHICLE WILL NOT ALWAYS STOP. I HAVE NOTICED IT THE AC IS RUNNING THIS WILL HAPPEN EVERY TIME I BACK UP. I HAVE HAD MANY INSTANCES WHERE I HAVE ALMOST HIT OTHER CARS OR OBJECTS. I AM EXTREMELY WORRIED ABOUT THIS BECAUSE I USUALLY HAVE MY 2 YOUNG CHILDREN WITH ME WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR INTO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO GET THIS CHECKED OUT. THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT THE VACUUM SWITCH HAS ALREADY BEEN REPLACED AND THERE WOULD BE A $100 CHARGE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH MY VEHICLE IS STILL COVERED BY WARRANTY. THE LAST TIME I TOOK IT IN THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE, EVEN THOUGH I AM STILL EXPERIENCING POOR BRAKING. *TR
