2011 CHEVROLET CRUZE Complaints

FIRST TIME THE PROBLEM OCCURRED, I HAD JUST STARTED DRIVING AND MY CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO THE NEXT GEAR, LEAVING ME DOING 20 MILES PER HOUR TO A SAFE PARKING SPOT. I WAS NO LONGER ABLE TO REVERSE. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THEN CAME ON. FUSE CHANGED FOR INDICATOR LIGHT AND TRANSMISSION FLUID CHECKED(FLUIDS FINE). CAR BEGAN WORKING WITH NO EXPLANATION. SECOND INCIDENT WAS BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY, AFTER USING THE CAR WITHOUT INCIDENT EARLIER. WENT INTO REVERSE FINE. BACKED OUT, ONLY TO DISCOVER I COULD NOT GO FORWARD INTO DRIVE. DRIVE ACTED AS IF IN PARK. REVERSE WORKED. NEUTRAL WORKED AS IF IN REVERSE. HAD TO BACK INTO A SAFE PARKING SPACE ON THE STREET INSTEAD OF PULLING BACK INTO DRIVEWAY. ALMOST RAN OVER MY SON THAT WAS GOING TO PUSH MY CAR WHILE IN NEUTRAL, DUE TO THE FACT THAT ONCE THE CAR WAS IN NEUTRAL, IT WAS STILL REVERSING.

THE CAR OVERHEATS, THIS IS THE 2ND TIME REPLACING THE MOTOR. THE FIRST TIME I REPLACED THE MOTOR, IT WAS NOT THE ORIGINAL MOTOR. I BOUGHT THE CAR USED. THE PREVIOUS OWNER REPLACED THE MOTOR.

THERE IS A BAD OIL LEAK ON THE CAR THAT I WASN'T INFORMED OF AND THE OIL PLUG HAS BEEN STRIPPED OUT AND THERE IS OIL ALL UNDER THE MOTOR AND YOU CAN SMELL IT WHEN PARKED AND IT'S STARTING TO COME THROUGH THE VENTS ON THE INSIDE OF THE CAR

IT LEAKS MOTOR OIL EVERYTIME IT GETS CHANGED,THERES ALWAYS A HUGE PILE OF OIL ON THE GROUND, I CAN ALSO MOVE THE GEAR SHIFT WITHOUT NEEDING TO PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL . OVERALL ITS BEEN A HASSEL TO DEAL WITH IT.

WE PURCHASED A 2011 CHEVY CRUZ WITH LESS THAN 100K MILES. IN THE 2 YEARS WE'VE HAD IT WE'VE REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION, OIL COOLER, AND ALL THE HOSES. THE FURTHEST WE'VE DRIVEN IT IS 400MILES IN A TRIP. WE HAVEN'T TAKEN IT UP MOUNTAINS, AND WE KEEP UP WITH MAINTENANCE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET CRUZE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT 45 MPH, WHEN THE SHE SAW SMOKE EXITING FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED NO WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED SHE WAS ABLE TO PARK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WHEN INSPECTING UNDER THE HOOD SHE SAW OIL LEAKING FORM THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DRIVABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND INFORMED NEEDING THE ENGINE TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT SHE HAD EXPERIENCED THE SAME FAILURE 2 ADDITIONAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED AS OF YET. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 92,000.

WHEN SLOWING TO A STOP FROM 2ND GEAR, THE CAR SHIFTS HARD AND JERKS BACK WHEN SHIFTING DOWN INTO FIRST GEAR. OFTEN TIMES, WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, THE CAR DOESN'T ACTUALLY GET POWER; THE RPMS JUMP TO ABOUT 6000 AND THE CAR DOESN'T MOVE. WHILE DRIVING, IT FEELS LIKE TENSION AGAINST THE GAS PEDAL WHILE THE CAR FEELS LIKE IT'S DRAGGING BACK AND BOGGING DOWN (THE RPMS DON'T INDICATE BOGGING, BUT THAT'S WHAT IT FEELS LIKE). WHEN IT FINALLY CATCHES A GEAR, IT JERKS BACKWARDS AND ALMOST FEELS LIKE IT'S GOING TO STALL OUT.

THE TRANSMISSION OF THE CAR IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. IT JUMPS EVERY TIME I PRESS THE GAS PEDAL AND JUMPS WHEN THE CAR IS ON THE ROAD.

MY LIGHTING HAS BEEN MESSED UP SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR. ALL MY LIGHTS RANDOMLY DIM, MY BREAK LIGHTS FLICKER LIKE THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. MY TURBO HAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH IT, BUT NO CODES. THE CAR DOESN'T ACCELERATE LIKE IT'S SUPPOSED TO. ALL THIS OCCURS WHEN MOVING. BREAKS OBVIOUSLY WHENEVER HIT THE BREAKS.

WELL IT WOULD KIND OF STALL WHEN I BEGAN TO GIVE IT GAS THE RPMS WOULD GO UP N REV BUT IT DIDN'T KICK N GO FOR A MIN THAN IT WOULD BE OK UNTIL U STOPPED JBSTARTED TO GO AGAIN THAN ONE DAY I WAS DRIVING N THE DRIVE WENT COMPLETELY OUT ON ME SO IT GOES IN EVERY GEAR BUT WON'T DRIVE
