CAR WILL SLOW TO 2 MPH WITH THE WARNINGS "LOW ENGINE MODE" AND "SERVICE STABILITRACK". CAN BE GOING ANY SPEED AND THIS HAPPENS. HAVE HAD THE CAR TOWED 3 TIMES FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM. EACH TIME THEY TELL US IT IS ANOTHER PART THAT IS DEFECTIVE. WE HAVE SPENT APPROXIMATELY $2,000 ON REPAIRS FOR THIS SAME ISSUE. MY MAIN CONCERN IS THAT MY [XXX] YEAR OLD SON WHO DRIVES THIS VEHICLE IS GOING TO GET KILLED. IF THIS HAPPENS ON A HIGHWAY WITH A SEMI BEHIND HIM, THE SEMI WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SLOW DOWN TO THAT SPEED THAT FAST AND WILL RUN RIGHT OVER HIM. THERE ARE NUMEROUS REPORTS OF THIS SAME ISSUE ON 2011-2015 CRUZE VEHICLES THAT YOU CAN FIND ANYWHERE ON THE INTERNET (EVEN ON GM FORUM). I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE FROM THIS ISSUE BEFORE A RECALL IS MADE ON THESE VEHICLES? *JS PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).*CC

MY 2011 CHEVY CRUZE IS NOT SHIFTING PROPERLY WHILE ACCELERATING. IT IS MOST NOTICEABLE WHILE ACCELERATING RAPIDLY ON AN ENTRANCE RAMP, IT JERKS AND DOES NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY. IT MAKES YOU WANDER IF IT IS GOING TO STOP WORKING. I HAVE ALSO HAD A LAG IN REGULAR SHIFTING. THESE PROBLEMS WERE ADDRESSED BY MY LOCAL CHEVY THREE TIMES WHILE UNDER WARRANTY AND IT RESULTED IN REBUILDING MY TRANSMISSION. I AM NOW OUT OF WARRANTY AND HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUES THAT IT TOOK THEM THREE TIMES TO FIX. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR AT THE DEALER TO OFTEN SINCE PURCHASING IT. I HAVE ALSO HAD THE AIR CONDITIONER COMPRESSOR AND FAN REPLACED AND ALL RECALLS PERFORMED. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHEVY CRUZE. I DO HAVE RECORDS OF MY REPAIRS.

I FIRST TOOK MY CRUZE TO THE DEALER BECAUSE OF LEAKING TRANSMISSION FLUID FROM A DEFECTIVE SEAL ON THE TRANSMISSION BOX. THEY ALSO SAID THE BATTERY WAS CRACKED. TRANSMISSION WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, BUT I HAD TO BUY A NEW BATTERY. REALLY? AFTER THAT WORK BEING DONE, I NOTICED THE SMELL OF ANTI FREEZE. DEALER SAID A HOSE WAS SPLIT, BUT WHEN I ASKED TO SEE THE HOSE, THEY SAID THE END BROKE OFF WHEN THEY WERE REPLACING A CLIP BLAMED ON THE ANTI FREEZE LEAK. I HAD TO BUY A NEW HOSE. SAID THEY CHECKED THE SYSTEM FOR LEAKS AND THERE WEREN'T ANY. THE CAR STOPPED LEAKING FOR A WHILE, BUT NOW I HAVE PUDDLES OF ANTI FREEZE ON THE GARAGE FLOOR AND A NAUSEATING SMELL AROUND THE CAR. I AM GOING TO GO TO A DIFFERENT DEALER FOR A SECOND OPINION, BUT I FEAR I HAVE A REAL PROBLEM AND FROM WHAT I'VE READ IT IS COMMON WITH THIS CAR AND GM HASN'T DONE MUCH TO HELP THE CONSUMER. I BELIEVED IN BUYING AMERICAN, BUT IT WON'T BE ANOTHER CHEVY.

TAKATA RECALL. I DRIVE A 2011 CHEVROLET CRUZE WITH APPROXIMATELY 57000 MILES. LAST WEEK I WAS DRIVING IN TRAFFIC WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY BEGAN TO LOSE POWER. ON MY DASHBOARD NOTICE CENTER THE MESSAGE "ENGINE POWER REDUCED" FLASHED. THE CAR LOST ACCELERATION AND BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. I WAS SURROUNDED BY TRAFFIC AND VERY LUCKY I DID NOT GET HIT AS I MANAGED TO GET IT TO COAST INTO A PARKING LOT. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. AFTER DOING ONLINE RESEARCH I WAS SHOCKED TO SEE THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO. UNFORTUNATELY IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN AFTER THE 50,000 MILE MARK ON THESE VEHICLES AND USUALLY AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRES

I AM A FIRE INVESTIGATOR I WORK FOR THE LOS ALAMOS COUNTY FIRE DEPT. I INVESTIGATED A VEHICLE FIRE THAT ORIGINATED IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT, VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND HAD JUST BEEN DRIVEN APPROX.. 1 HR. THE VEHICLE IS LISTED AS HAVING A RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 12V288000. IT APPEARS THAT EVEN THOUGHT THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED FOR THE RECALL THE SAME PROBLEM AND RESULTING FIRE HAPPENED. VEHICLE BEGAN TO SMOKE AFTER BEING PARKED AND FIRE WAS WITN

FROM A STOPPED POSITION, I WOULD ACCELERATE THROUGH 1ST GEAR, JUST BEFORE I CHANGE GEARS TO 2ND. THE WHOLE CAR'S ELECTRICAL SYSTEM GOES HAYWIRE. ALL SYSTEMS RESET, MOST OF THE TIME THIS MEANS I CAN A VERY BAD JERK IN BETWEEN GEARS 1 AND 2. A FEW TIMES THE CAR TURNED OFF. IF THE CAR DOES DIE, I AM UNABLE TO START THE CAR OR JUMP IT FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. THE LONGEST I HAD TO SIT WAS OVER 30 MINUTES. CHEVY'S DIC SYSTEM TELLS ME TO CHECK A VARIETY OF THINGS, NOT ALWAYS ALL OF THEM. BUT USUALLY CHECK POWER STEERING AND AIRBAG SYSTEMS. A FEW TIMES IT TOLD ME TO CHECK TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEMS. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS NEVER COME ON IN ANY OF THESE INSTANCES. CHEVY SAYS THIS IS DUE TO A FAULTY GROUND WIRE, WHICH THEY REPLACED AND IT CONTINUES TO DO THIS. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, WHERE IF I WAS IN A BUSY INTERSECTION I COULD EASILY BE CAUGHT IN AN ACCIDENT. LUCKILY, THIS HAS HAPPENED MOSTLY IN RESIDENTIAL AREAS.

INTERMITTENT SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL AND STABILITRAK WHILE AT A STOP WHEN ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE AFTER THE SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON THE VEHICLE LACKED POWER AND HIGH TEMP FAN TURN ON. THE ONLY WAY TO GET THE CAR OUT OF THE SERVICE LOCK WAS TO TURN THE IGNITION OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON. I TOOK THE CAR TO A DEALER WHERE THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN COVERED UNDER A RECALL ON OTHER CHEVY VEHICLES SUCH AS THE EQUINOX.

MY CAR FROM TIME TO TIME SHOWS AN ERROR SAYING REDUCED ENGINE POWER. THE WHOLE CAR KICKS DOWN AND UNABLE TO GO OVER 10 MPH. THIS HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES AND ONCE ON THE HIGHWAY. IT DIDN'T DO IT AGAIN FOR AWHILE BUT THEN AGAIN TODAY IT DID IT. I HAVE READ A FEW BLOGS THAT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH CHEVY CRUZ AND I DON'T BELIEVE IT'S COVERED UNDER WARRANY. THIS COULD BE A DEADLY FAULT WITH THIS CAR. YOU GET NO NOTIFICATION THAT IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.

I'VE OWNED MY 2011 CHEVY CRUZE FOR 4 YEARS AND I HAVE HAD ON-GOING ISSUES WITH A VERY DISTINCT SMOKE/COOLANT SMELL COMING FROM THE ENGINE. IT IS MORE NOTICEABLE WHEN THE HEAT IS ON. IN DOING RESEARCH, THIS IS A WELL-KNOWN ISSUE. I'VE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP ON THREE SEPERATE OCCASIONS AND THEY CANNOT FIX THE ISSUE - IT KEEPS COMING BACK. I REACHED OUT TO CHEVY TO FILE A COMPLAINT BUT I AM NOT GETTING HELP FROM THEM. THE ODOR THAT IS COMING FROM THE CAR IS SO BAD THAT I HAVE TO ROLL DOWN MY WINDOWS IN THE WINTER. IT IS EITHER NO HEAT, OR HEAT AND WINDOWS DOWN. I KNOW CHEVY IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE - IT IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET - HOWEVER, THEY ARE NOT DOING THEIR PART TO FIX THE ISSUE. I AM CONCERNED FOR MY HEALTH - WHATEVER I AM INHALING IS NOT HEALTHY. IT GIVES ME HEADACHES AND MAKES ME FEEL ILL. PLEASE HELP.

NHTSA ODI 10820622

I CAN SMELL A BURNING COOLANT TYPE SMELL INSIDE THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME. IT LEAVES A FILM ON THE WINDOWS. WHEN IT HAPPENS IT BURNS MY NOSE AND EYES. I HAVE TO ROLL DOWN THE WINDOWS TO GET FRESH AIR. I CONSIDER THIS A HEALTH ISSUE, INHALING THESE FUMES. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP THREE TIMES. ONCE THEY REPLACED A TRANSMISSION COOLANT CONNECTOR, THAT DIDN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM, AND TWICE THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM. I SEE THAT THERE HAVE BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS. THIS HAPPENS IN ALL SITUATIONS, MOVING OR STANDING STILL. THE FOLLOWING I COPIED FROM A FORUM ONLINE. THIS PERSON HAD THE SAME PROBLEM: IN THE COURSE OF THAT REPAIR THE TECHS DETECTED AN EXTREME AMOUNT OF LUBRICANT ON THE INNER DASH BOX WHERE THE VENT DOORS AND CONTROLS ARE LOCATED. THE TECH REMOVED SOME OF IT AND HEATED IT UP AND IT SMELLED JUST LIKE DEXCOOL. THIS GREASE IS GLYCOL BASED HENCE THE SIMILARITY TO COOLANT WHEN HEATED. THE CONTINUOUS HEATING AND COOLING OF THE GREASE RESULTED IN A BREAKDOWN OF IT AND THE SMELL ONLY GOT WORSE. THE TECHS REMOVED ALL OF THE EXCESS GREASE AND REPLACED WITH ANOTHER LUBRICANT WHICH WAS A TYPE OF BRAKE LUBE GOOD TO 400F. THEY THEN ADDED A PEPPERMINT EXTRACT TO THE COOLANT FLUID TO ENSURE THAT IF THERE WAS A COOLANT LEAK OF ANY KIND THE ODOR WOULD BE IMMEDIATELY DISCERNABLE FROM ANY OTHER AUTOMOTIVE ODOR. I RAN THE HEAT AND DEFROST HEAVY WITH NO ISSUES TO REPORT. THIS FIX IS NOT EASY AS THE ENTIRE DASH NEEDS TO BE REMOVED, BUT A GOOD TECH CAN DO IT AND RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. IF YOU NEED ANY FURTHER ASSISTANCE OR INFORMATION PLEASE LET ME KNOW. I WOULD ENCOURAGE ANYONE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM TO CONTACT THE DEALER AND HAVE THEM CONTACT GM TO GET YOUR VEHICLE FIXED.

ON DECEMBER 21, 2015, WHILE ON MY WAY TO WORK IN DEARBORN IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AT 7:15 A.M. , TRAVELING SOUTH ON SOUTHFIELD FREEWAY AT 65 MPH IN THE FAST LANE, AN ALARM SOUNDED AND MY RATE OF SPEED WAS REDUCED TO 10 MPH, AN EXCLAMATION SYMBOL APPEARED ON MY DISPLAY WITH THE WORDS "REDUCED ENGINE POWER". I IMMEDIATELY TURNED ON MY HAZZARD LIGHTS. CARS TRAVELLING BEHIND ME HAD TO SLAM ON THEIR BRAKES TO AVOID HITTING ME. THE SHOULDER WAS NOT THE ADEQUATE WIDTH TO MOVE THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC. I PULLED OFF AS MUCH AS I COULD AND SWITCHED THE CAR OFF, THIS RESET THE PROBLEM SO I DID NOT HAVE REDUCED ENGINE POWER AND I WAS ABLE TO TRAVEL AND EXIT THE EXPRESSWAY SAFELY. THE PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN ON THE ROAD TO MY OFFICE COMPLEX PARKING LOT. I HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM FIXED AT THE GM DEALERSHIP. I FEEL THIS TYPE OF ISSUE SHOULD NOT HAPPEN AND POSES A VERY SERIOUS THREAT TO THE SAFETY OF THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS OF THE CAR AFFECTED BY THE MALFUNCTION AND OTHER MOTORIST THAT ARE ON THE ROAD. IT IS IMPORTANT TO MAKE SURE THIS DOES NOT OCCUR ON OTHER CARS.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY DURING A RAIN STORM WHEN THE DRIVER SIDE WIPER BLADE QUIT WORKING. I HAD TO PULL OFF THE ROAD WHICH WAS VERY DIFFICULT BECAUSE MY VISION WAS BEING BLOCKED BY THE RAIN. IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS TO DO THIS BECAUSE OF THE WIPER FAILURE. I WAS TRAVELING AT A SPEED OF 55-60 MPH AT THIS TIME.

HVAC CREATES A NOXIOUS ODOR WHEN RUNNING HEAT. NOTICE IT MOSTLY IN A FOOT/DEFROST MODE. REPORTS ARE EITHER LEAKING HEATER CORE OR HVAC SYSTEM GREASE IN MY RESEARCH. IRRITATION OF NOSE AND THROAT RESULTS, DOES NOT SEEM TO BE DEPENDENT ON SPEED. NOTICE IT MORE WHEN STARTING CAR WHEN STILL WARM, ALSO WHILE STANDING FOR SOME TIME IN GEAR THEN ACCELERATING.

ON 12-5-15 I WAS ON MY WAY TO CT FROM MASS AND WAS ON 91. ABOUT 45 MINUTES INTO THE TRIP THE CAR BEGAN TO LOOSE POWER AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE SERVICE STABLITRACK LIGHT CAME ON. AS SOON AS THE LIGHT CAME ON THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE AND RPM GAUGE WOULD FLING UP AND DOWN QUICKLY! I IMMEDIATELY WENT FROM 65 MPH TO 30 MPH.( I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BY A CAR BEHIND ME) I COASTED MY WAY TO THE RIGHT LANE AND WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE EXIT. THE CAR TOOK ABOUT 4 HOURS TO GO BACK TO NORMAL. ( I RETURNED TO MASS, I HAD TO TAKE THE BACK WAY HOME AND AVOID THE HIGHWAY AS THE CAR STILL HAD REDUCE SPEED) THE CAR WILL RETURN TO NORMAL AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL GO OFF. EVERYDAY NOW THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON AND IT WILL SAY SERVICE STABLITRACK. THE CAR IMMEDIATELY LOOSES POWER AND YOU CAN HEAR THE ENGINE (SOUNDS LIKE A FAN BLOWING HARD) THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT SHIFT. THE RPM WILL JUMP TO 4-5 WHILE ONLY GETTING TO A SPEED OF 35 MPH. THE DEALER HAS NO IDEA WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT. THIS CAR WAS BOUGHT IN JANUARY OF 2015 AND HAS LESS THAN 65,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE READ A FEW COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SIMILAR SITUATION HAPPENING TO THE SAME CAR I HAVE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE!!! THE CAR HAS BEEN SERVICED ON TIME!!! PLEASE HELP ME!! I REFUSE TO TAKE THE HIGHWAY AS I NEVER KNOW WHEN THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN.....

THE COOLING SYSTEM IN MY 2011 CHEVY CRUZE HAS FAILED FOR THE 3RD TIME IN MY TWO YEAR OWNERSHIP. THIS IS DANGEROUS, MY CAR OVERHEATED AND WENT INTO IDLE MODE ON A 70MPH INTERSTATE(81) WITH MY FAMILY STILL INSIDE. CHEVY DENYS ANY PROBLEM! MULTIPLE CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS HAVE BEEN STARTED REGARDING THE FAULTY COOLING SYSTEM BUT THEY SEEM TO JUST DISAPPEAR. MY CAR CONSTANTLY SMELLS OF NAUSEATING COOLANT AND HAS BEEN "FIXED" TWICE NOW. SO WHAT GIVES? WHY IS THIS NOT BEING ADDRESSED? THE NHTSA NEEDS TO HANDLE THIS PROBLEM AS IT IS BIGGER THAN CHEVY WILL EVER ADMIT.
