What 731 owners told NHTSA about the 2011 Chevrolet Cruze Limited

COOLING SYSTEM APPEARS TO BE LEAKING AND FUMES OF ANTIFREEZE ARE BLOWING THROUGH HVAC SYSTEM CAUSING SOME OCCUPANTS TO BECOME NAUSEOUS. DEALER ATTEMPTED TO FIX BUT THERE APPEARS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE DESIGN OF THE SYSTEM. SYSTEM ALSO LEAKED ON THE HOT ENGINE CAUSING "STEAM" TO SHOW FROM UNDER THE HOOD, WE THOUGHT IT WAS A FIRE BUT WHEN THE HOOD WAS OPENED IT WAS STEAM FROM THE ANTIFREEZE BOILING ON THE ENGINE. *TR

DROVE MY CAR TO WORK WITHOUT INCIDENT HOWEVER WHEN I CAME OUT AT 4PM THE CAR WOULD NOT START. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WORKED, RADIO AND BLUE TOOTH WORKED WHEN THE KEY WAS INSERTED BUT CAR WOULD NOT START. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED ON JAN 11TH TO AL SERRA DEALERSHIP. AFTER 36 HOURS THE DEALERSHIP CALLED TO SAY IT WAS THE BATTERY. THE SERVICE MANAGER WAS UNABLE TO EXPLAIN HOW THE RADIO, BLUE TOOTH PHONE POWER AND INTERIOR LIGHTS WERE WORKING. AFTER HAVING THE BATTERY REPLACED IT WAS CLEAR MY VEHICLE WAS NOT OPERATING PROPERLY. WHEN DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY THE INTERIOR LIGHTS DIMMED AND THE BATTERY VOLTAGE METER FLUCTUATED FROM 15.3 TO 12.3. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT PERFORMING AS IT HAD PRIOR TO THE BATTERY CHANGE. I RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP STATING THE CAR WAS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY SINCE THE BATTERY CHANGE. THE DEALERSHIP STATED I WOULD NEED TO SIGN FOR A DIAGNOSTIC FEE OF ~150.00 BEFORE THEY WOULD LOOK AT THE VEHICLE TO INSPECT THEIR WORK. I LEFT WITH MY VEHICLE AND CONTACTED GM CUSTOMER COMPLAINT LINE TO REPORT THE DEALERSHIP WAS UNWILLING TO STAND BEHIND THEIR WORK UNLESS I AGREED TO PAY THEM ~150.00. ABOUT 10 DAYS LATER I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM GM REGARDING A SPECIAL NOTICE ABOUT THE BATTERY CABLE. I AGAIN RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE BATTERY CABLE CHECKED/REPLACED. AGAIN AL SERRA DEALERSHIP STATED I NEEDED SIGN THAT I WOULD PAY A $100.00 FEE IF THEY DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE BATTERY CABLE. I STATED "YOU DID NOT FIX MY PROPERLY THE FIRST TIME. I FEEL YOU REFUSED TO STAND BEHIND YOUR WORK AND NOW I HAVE A LETTER FROM GM REGARDING THE BATTERY CABLE. NOW YOU STILL WANT ME TO PAY YOU TO FIGURE OUT WHAT YOU DID WRONG THE FIRST TIME. I LEFT WITH MY VEHICLE - STILL NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL TO STOP GM DEALERSHIPS FROM RIPPING OFF CUSTOMERS. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR ON THE WAY TO WORK ONE DAY AND OUT OF NO WHERE GOING DOWN MY HILL MY TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS CAME ON AND MY DASH BOARD SAID "ENGINE POWER REDUCED". IT WOULDN'T LET ME ACCELERATE SO I STOPPED AND SHUT OFF THE CAR. I STARTED IT 5 MINUTES LATER AND IT RAN NORMAL BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL ON. ON THE WAY HOME FROM WORK IT DID IT 2 MORE TIMES. ITS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE BECAUSE WHEN ALL THOSE LIGHTS COME ON YOUR CAR GOES FROM 60MPH TO 10MPH IN 5 SECONDS. IF YOURE DRIVING AND SOMEONE IS DIRECTLY BEHIND YOU THEYRE GOING TO CRASH INTO YOU. AFTER A DAY OR TWO I MADE AN APPT. TO GET IT LOOKED AT AND I KEPT DRIVING IT BECAUSE I NEED TO GET TO WORK. NOW THE CAR NOT ONLY SAYS "ENGINE POWER REDUCED" BUT IT ALSO SAYS " SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL" BUT THATS NOT EVEN WHATS WRONG WITH THE CAR. ITS THE THROTTLE BODY. NOW CHEVROLET IS EXPECTING ME TO PAY 500 TO FIX IT AND I DONT HAVE THAT, THEY WONT RENT ME A RENTAL CAR AND I HAVE NO OTHER WAY TO WORK. I PAY FOR INSURANCE FOR THE CAR THROUGH THEM BUT APPARENTLY ANYTHING THATS WRONG WITH MY CAR ISNT COVERED BY ANY OF THE INSURANCE THAT I BOUGHT FROM THEM. THIS IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AROUND AND I'M PISSED THAT THEY DON'T CARE OR SELL ME THIS CRAP INSURANCE THAT DOESNT COVER ANYTHING IMPORTANT. I ONLY BOUGHT THE CAR 1 YEAR AND 4 MONTHS AGO...THERE SHOULDNT BE PROBLEMS WITH IT. THE CAR WAS IN PERFECT CONDITION WHEN I BOUGHT IT FROM QUIRK CHEVROLET IN MANCHESTER, NH. *TR

THE FIRST OCCURRENCE HAPPENED ON JAN. 20TH 2015 ON MY WAY TO WORK, TWICE. I NOTICED BECAUSE THE RADIO TURNED OFF AND THE SERVICE ESP FLASHED WITH THE TRACTION LIGHT COMING ON WITH MULTIPLE OTHER LIGHTS FLASHING. ALL OF THIS INCLUDING THE RADIO FLASHED/TURNED OFF AND ON FOR ABOUT 2 MINUTES. OVER THE NEXT WEEK THIS HAPPENED 5 OR 6 TIMES. ALL OF THESE HAPPENED WHILE GOING BETWEEN 30 AND 40 MPH AND ON TRIPS BETWEEN 30-45 MINUTES. I HAD ABOUT A WEEK WITH NONE OF THIS HAPPENING AND THEN ON FEB. 8TH I WAS DRIVING HOME, 20 MINS FROM START TO FINISH AND TWICE THE ENGINE POWER REDUCED CAME ON AND I COULD NOT DRIVE ANY WHERE. I WAS GOING ABOUT 35 MPH. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND TURN MY CAR OFF AND ON BOTH TIMES AND MAKE IT HOME. NOW MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND I'M NOT SURE IF I CAN EVEN DRIVE MY CAR OR IF IT WILL DIE ON ME AGAIN. *TR

WAS DRIVING VEHICLE WHEN THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE COMPUTER FLASHED THAT THE ENGINE POWER WAS REDUCED. THE CAR IMMEDIATELY DROPPED SPEED IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH OUT BEING STUCK BY ANY CARS BEHIND ME. HAD I BEEN ON A HIGHWAY I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. I HAVE THE COMPUTER THAT SHOWS ERROR CODES WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND IT READ THAT IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY. NOW WHEN I TURN THE CARE ON IT SOMETIMES WILL IMMEDIATELY SAY REDUCED POWER. I CALLED CHEVY AND THEY SAID IT WOULD BE DIAGNOSED BY ONE OF THEIR DEALERSHIPS. THE FIRST DEALERSHIP SAID I WILL NEED TO WAIT UNTIL MARCH TO COME IN, THE NEXT 2 WEEKS FROM NOW. IN THE MEANTIME CHEVY THINKS IT'S SAFE TO DRIVE MY CAR LIKE THIS. A QUICK SEARCH OF THE INTERNET SHOWS THIS IS NOT AN UNCOMMON PROBLEM FOR CHEVY CARS. *TR

THE STEERING IS "NOTCHY" AFTER DRIVING STRAIGHT FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. THIS REQUIRES ADDITIONAL EFFORT TO DO MINOR COURSE CORRECTIONS CAUSING OVER-STEER. THIS IS PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS ON SNOW AND ICE. I HAVE THE LETTER FROM GM #14232 DATED NOVEMBER 2014. I CALLED IMMEDIATELY AND WAS TOLD "THE PARTS ARE ON ORDER FOR YOU" IT IS NOW 01/31/2015 AND CONTACT WITH THE DEALER TODAY STATED " STILL WAITING FOR PARTS FROM GM." :( I HAVE A 55 MILE COMMUTE (ONE WAY) THAT TAKES ME ON NOT SO WELL MAINTAINED ROADS.

WHEN DRIVING IN FREEZING TEMPERATURES MY WINDOWS BEGIN TO FOG AND FROST ON THE INSIDE OF ALL 4 WINDOWS, THE REAR WINDOW, AND THE CORNERS OF THE WINDSHIELD. AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 10 - 15 MINUTES WITH THE DEFROSTERS BLOWING WARM AIR, THE CAR IS UNABLE TO CLEAR THE FROST. AND BY THEN, THE FROST HAS BUILT UP ENOUGH TO THE POINT TO WHERE I CANNOT SEE OUT OF EITHER DRIVERS OR PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW. THIS CAR WAS BROUGHT TO LUPIENT CHEVROLET IN BLOOMINGTON, MN (WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED 6 MONTHS AGO). IT WAS LOOKED AT FOR A WEEK IN WHICH THE SERVICE MANGER INFORMED ME THAT THERE IS NO FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM DUE TO THE ENGINE BEING TOO SMALL TO KEEP UP WITH COLD WINTER CONDITIONS. *TR

YES, I TOO HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY 2011 CHEVY CRUZE. I WAS VERY GLAD THAT NOTHING HAPPENED TO ME WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE CAR, I WAS JUST SITTING AT AN IDLE STAGE; WHEN I HAD ALL THE BELLS GOING OFF AND IT HAD TOLD ME THAT ENGINE REDUCED POWER. I TO HAD TO GO AND GET THIS FIXED AND AGAIN LIKE EVERYONE ELSE IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY AND FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM; COST $460. NOT EVEN A MONTH LATER NOW I HAVE NO HEAT IN THE CAR AND READING ALL THE FORUMS SOUNDS LIKE I AM GOING TO HAVE TO REPLACE A WATER PUMP; JOY FOR ME. AT FIRST I REALLY DID LOVE THIS CAR, BUT I FIND THAT THE AFTER THE WARRANTY GOES SEEMS LIKE THE CAR IS FALLING APART. WE SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THESE ISSUES THIS EARLY IN THE CAR'S LIFE. I ALSO FIND IT VERY BAD POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE ON GM'S PART THAT THEY ARE TURNING A BLIND EYE TO THIS. THESE PARTS NEED TO BE RECALLED ASAP, WHY IS NO ONE DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS? *TR

AS I WAS PULLING OUT OF MY DAUGHTERS SCHOOL, MY CRUZE ENGINE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" "CHECK STABLITRAK" "SERVICE" WARNINGS CAME ON AS WELL. MY CAR LOST ALL ENGINE POWER AND I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BY A DODGE PICKUP, HE WAS ABLE TO GO UP ON THE CURB AT THE SCHOOL AND AVOID AN ACCIDENT. GLAD THERE WAS NO ONE HURT ON THE CURB. I CHECKED THE INTERNET, RE; HTTP://WWW.CRUZETALK.COM/FORUM/25-SERVICE-ISSUES/10826-ENGINE-POWER-REDUCTION.HTML , THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUES FOR GM FOR QUITE SOMETIME NOW. GM CUSTOMER SERVICE THEMSELVES IS PARTICIPATING IN THE DISCUSSION THERE. IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE THROTTLE BODY. THE THROTTLE CONTROLS THE POWER IN THE POWER TRAIN YET GM WON'T COVER THE REPAIRS UNDER THEIR POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. THIS ISN'T SAFE AND IT IS KNOWN. *TR

MY DAUGHTER ALMOST DIED DRIVING IT ON MONDAY. SHE WAS ON ROUTE 1 IN COLLEGE PARK, MD WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE/REDUCED POWER LIGHT CAME ON AND SHE COULD GO NO MORE THAN 2-3 MPH. THIS IS A VERY BUSY ROAD, AND SHE WAS ALMOST IN A POTENTIALLY TRAGIC ACCIDENT. WE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO SPORT CHEVROLET IN SILVER SPRING, MD (240-471-3190). OUR SERVICE ADVISOR ([XXX]:) INFORMED ME THIS MORNING THAT THE FIX IS A THROTTLE BODY REPLACEMENT WHICH WILL COST $648. IN GOING ON THE CHEVY FORUM WEBSITE, THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES TO CHEVY CRUZE AND MALIBU MODELS. IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME UNTIL SOMEONE DIES. THE THROTTLE BODY IS ONLY COVERED UP TO 35K SO I HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THREE WEEKS AGO, I STARTED HEARING A NOISE FROM THE BACK LEFT TIRE. TWO DAYS AGO THE ESP AND TRACTION LIGHT WENT ON AS WELL AS THE BRAKE FLUID LIGHT. EVERYTHING JUST STARTED HITTING AT THE SAME TIME. I THINK THE CAR IS RIGGED TO HAVE EVERYTHING GO BAD ONCE THE WARRANTY PERIOD IS UP. WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THIS IS COVERED SINCE SO MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH IT. I CAN'T AFFORD TO FIX IT BUT THIS IS MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION. *TR

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. MY SPEED DROPPED WITHOUT WARNING FROM 35 MPH TO ABOUT 5 MPH. I GOT A WARNING LIGHT INDICATING "ENGINE POWER REDUCED" AND THE ENGINE INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON. I MANAGED TO PULL CAR OVER TO A SIDE STREET AND TURNED IT OFF. I RESTARTED IT AND THE ENGINE INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON BUT I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME (ABOUT 12 MILES). I CALLED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT A LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO TRY TO GET SOME SORT OF IDEA OF WHAT WAS HAPPENING TO MY CAR. HE SUGGESTED I CALL GM CUSTOMER SERVICE AND ASKED HOW MANY MILES WERE ON THE CAR. I TOLD HIM AND HE INDICATED THE PROBLEM MAY BE UNDER A RECALL. NEEDLESS TO SAY 5 DAYS LATER I JUST HEARD FROM THE SERVICE CENTER THAT THE PROBLEM IS THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY AND IT WILL COST ME ABOUT $600+TAXES TO REPAIR. HE STATED I HAVE HEAVY CARBON BUILD UP AND SOMETHING ABOUT THE INDUCTION SERVICE. MY BIGGEST PROBLEM OUTSIDE OF NOT HAVING SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS TO GIVE IS THAT IN NOVEMBER I PAID $300+ TO HAVE THE WATER PUMP REPLACED AND THREE WEEKS BEFORE THAT IT WAS IN THE SHOP AND THREE WEEKS PRIOR TO THAT IT WAS IN THE SHOP. I AM SO DISAPPOINTED AND HURT BY ALL THESE REPAIRS. I ENDED UP WITH A CRUZE BECAUSE MY KIA WAS HIT HEAD ON IN A CRASH AND THE FRAME WAS CRACKED. I HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH MY KIA. *TR

I PURCHASED A USED 2011 CHEVY CRUZE LT THREE MONTHS AGO. PRIER OWNER OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR 3 YEARS AND HARDLY DROVE IT. I WAS SITTING AT A LIGHT WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON THE "ENGINE POWER REDUCED" FLASHED ON MY SCREEN. THE CAR SLOWED TO 2 MPH. I PULLED OVER AND TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE. LATER I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WHEN I STARTED TO DRIVE "SERVICE ESP" FLASHED ON MY SCREEN, THEN "SERVICE TRACTION" FLASHED ON MY SCREEN FOLLOWING BY "ENGINE POWER REDUCE." THIS HAPPENED TO ME 3 TIMES IN THE SAME TRIP AND IS VERY DANGEROUS. I THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE SNOWY WEATHER AND FREEZING TEMPERATURE? ANYONE HAVE THIS HAPPEN? HOW CAN I FIX IT? HELP!? *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT NO SPECIFIC SPEED THE CAR ALERTS AND SAYS CHECK ENGINE, REDUCED ENGINE SPEED, AND CHECK STABILIZER TRACTION CONTROL. THE ENGINE THEN POWERS DOWN AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE. I WAS RECENTLY DRIVING AND THIS HAPPENED, TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT I ENDED UP IN A DITCH AND HAD TO BE TOWED OUT. I HAD THE CAR REPAIRED WHICH WAS COSTLY AND WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY CHEVY OFFERS. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS DEFECT ON THE CAR AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AS A RECALL, DUE TO THE FIRST TIME I TRIED TO HAVE THE CAR REPAIRED I WAS TOLD IT WAS GONNA BE 4-6 WEEKS TO WAIT ON THE PART BECAUSE THEY WERE ON BACK ORDER BECAUSE THEY HAVE HAD QUITE A FEW CARS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. WHEN I ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE WITH CHEVY THEY HAD NO CONCERN THAT A CAR LOSING POWER WHILE TRAVELING WAS NO BIG DEAL. I WAS NEARLY REAR ENDED BY A SEMI-TRUCK AND WAS FORCED INTO A DITCH. *TR

LEAVING A PARKING LOT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL BEGAN TO BLINK ON AND OFF EVERY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED TO COME ON AND OFF. POWER STEERING WAS LOST FOR A SHORT PERIOD. STILL IN THE PARKING LOT AT A STOP SIGN TURN THE ENGINE OFF. THE CAR WAS COMPLETELY DEAD, NO LIGHTS NO CLICKING NOISE WHEN YOU ATTEMPT TO RE START. OPENED HOOD CHECKED THE NEW BATTERY WIGGLED THE CABLES INTERIOR LIGHTS CAME ON AND CAR STARTED UP. SINCE THEN IT HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES EACH EVENT GETTING WORSE. EVENTUALLY IT DIED AND WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND IS BEING LOOKED AT. THIS SEEMS TO BE COMMON WITH CHEVROLET CRUZE.

THE CHEVROLET CRUZE 2011 IS COMPROMISED BY HACKING AND TAMPERING AND ALLOWS FOR THE ENDANGERMENT OF THE DRIVE, OTHER MOTOR VEHICLE DRIVERS OR PEDESTRIANS. THE RADIO ANTENNA WILL SOUND OFF AND CONSTANTLY MAKE A ROAMING NOISE AS IF BEING ACCESSED. THIS IS AT EVERY STOP SIGN AND EVERY STOP LIGHT OR EVERY DESTINATION REACHED BY GPS MARKERS. THE CRUZE SYSTEM IS ALLOWING THE 24/7 TRACKING WHEN IT IS USED AND TAMPERING WITH THE INTENT TO CAUSE MALFUNCTION OR ANNOYANCE. THE THROTTLE IS BEING CUT OFF DELIBERATELY AT STOP SIGNS, AND TRAFFIC LIGHTS AND DESTINATIONS, THE RADIO ANTENNA WILL CONSTANTLY MAKE A ROAMING NOISE "SEARCHING OR ACCESS". THE VEHICLE IS DELIBERATELY BEING USED FOR STALKING BLACKS FOR HATE CRIMES WHILE TESTING OUT VEHICLE HALTING SYSTEMS BY CLEARLY SATELLITE. THIS HAS HAPPENED 100 OR SO TIMES IN THE 3 YEAR I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE AND THERE IS NO REMEDY. WHEN OTHER PERSONS USE MY OWN VEHICLE THESE ISSUE DO NOT ARISE AND I HAVE CONFIRMED THIS WITH OTHER OWNERS, MY VEHICLE IS A UNIQUE OCCURRENCE THAT INVOLVES ALSO A HATE CRIME IN PUBLIC, POLICE STALKING, LAW ENFORCEMENT STALKING, HOME STALKING AND TAMPERING OF ALL ELECTRONIC DEVICES I OWN OR USE IN MY HOME. THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE AND THE THROTTLE CUT OFFS ARE DELIBERATE AND SPECIFIC. THE THROTTLE AS I SAID ALREADY IS CUT OFF AT A STOP SIGN OR MID ACCELERATION WITH THE INTENT TO REMOVE OPERATOR CONTROL AND HALT THE VEHICLE. THE LIGHTS ARE TURNED ON AND OFF ON THEIR OWN ON ONE OCCASION. I HAVE HAD OTHER PEOPLE TEST THE CAR, THESE THINGS DO NOT OCCUR EVEN WHILE I AM IN THE PASSENGER SIDE. ONLY WHEN I AM THE SOLE INDIVIDUAL DRIVING THE VEHICLE ALONE IS THE THROTTLE CUT OFF AND THE LIGHTS TAMPERED WITH INCLUDING THE ANTENNA FOR STALKING AND TRACKING WHERE I GO. THIS IS MY SECOND FILING TO ADDRESS WHITE SUPREMACY UNDER THE COLOR OR LAW THAT INTERFERES WITH PERSONAL PROPERTY AND USE AND CONTROL OF PROPERTY. *JS
