2011 CHEVROLET CRUZE Complaints

POWER STEERING WILL GET NOTCHY AND MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE YOU WILL LOSE CONTROL OF CAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED EVERYDAY FOR A WEEK, NOW IT HAS DECIDED TO BEHAVE ITSELF BUT FOR HOW LONG? THIS CAR HAS A LOT OF SAFETY GLITCHES AND WOULD NOT TRUST MY FAMILY IN IT AT ALL. *TR

I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT WAITING FOR LIGHT TO TURN GREEN AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE SPEEDOMETER JUMPS TO 45 MPH AND STAYS THERE A COUPLE SECONDS THEN SLOWLY DROPS BACK DOWN TO 0MPH. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES BUT ONLY WHEN I AM SITTING AT A LIGHT. ONE TIME I PRESSED I THE ACCELERATOR TO GO WHILE IT WAS DOING IT AND IT STILL READ 35-40 MPH WHEN I WAS JUST CREEPING ALONG FROM A STAND STILL. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH TEMPORARY STEERING LOSS FOR FEW MOMENTS. PROCEEDED TO STOP CAR AND SHUT OF. ONCE RESTARTED CAR DROVE NORMAL. PROBLEM REPORTED TO LOCAL DEALER NO PROBLEM FOUND. *TR

SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT, THE SPEEDOMETER WENT UP TO OVER 60MPH AND SLOWLY FELL BACK DOWN TO ZERO. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE THE INITIAL INCIDENT. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT IT AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE SPEEDOMETER AND NEEDED TO ORDER A NEW ONE. I DECIDED TO WAIT UNTIL I MOVED (I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A CROSS COUNTRY MOVE) AND WHEN I TOOK IT IN FOR THE 7500 MILE MAINTENANCE, I ASKED THE DEALER SERVICE CENTER IN MY NEW CITY TO CHECK OUT THE SPEEDOMETER. THEY DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING AND CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT UNTIL ONE OF THEIR TECHNICIANS WITNESSES IT. *TR

JUST A FEW DAY'S AFTER BUYING OUR NEW CAR WE NOTICED ON OCCASION THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LITE WOULD NOT INDICATE ON.. TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY TRIED IT OUT AND IT WORKED FOR THEM.THE SECOND TIME WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY DID SEE THE CHEVY SAID THAT THEY COULD RESET SOMETHING AND IT WOULD HELP. THE THIRD TIME WE TOOK IT BACK TO THEY PUT A NEW SENSOR IN THE SEAT.. NOW IT IS UP THERE A 4TH TIME FOR THEM TO SEE WHAT IS GOING ON... THEY DEALER HAS BEEN WONDERFUL ON TRYING TO TAKE CARE OF THE ISSUE... I HAVE LOOKED ON THE INTERNET AND THERE IS SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ON THIS... CAN WE JUST REQUEST THAT CHEVY LET US BUY ANOTHER MODEL? *TR

LEFT FRONT TIRE SLOWLY LOSING AIR. WHILE 2011 CHEVY CRUZE WAS AT MATICK CHEVROLET FOR STEERING SHAFT RECALL (@ APPROX. 9000 MILES) I REQUESTED THAT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT INSPECT THE LEFT FRONT TIRE FOR AN AIR LEAK. I SUGGESTED IT COULD BE THE INTERNAL AIR PRESSURE SENSOR WAS SLOWLY LEAKING. I WORK IN THE AUTO SUPPLY CHAIN AND I HAVE HEARD OF THE PRESSURE SENSORS LEAKING AIR. DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT CHECKED FOR AIR LEAKS IN A WATER TANK AND COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING. THE TIRE CONTINUES TO LOSE APPROXIMATELY 5 PSI OVER A 3 OR 4 WEEK PERIOD. DEALERSHIP DID NOT OFFER TO REPLACE THE SENSOR AND TOLD ME SOME TIRES "JUST" LEAK AIR. *KB
