TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET CRUZE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE DRIVER WAS DRIVING AT 35 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND FAILED TO RELEASE TO THE NORMAL POSITION.

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON IN THE VEHICLE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED TO GET IT INSPECTED AND HAVE THE CODE READ. THEY SAID THAT THE CODE WAS DUE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL POSITION SENSOR AND IT NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED FOR APPROXIMATELY $500. THE VEHICLE WAS JUST BARELY OUT OF WARRANTY WHEN THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED. MANY TIMES, WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING AND IN THE IDLE STATE WITH THE BRAKE DOWN, THE ENGINE WILL LURCH FORWARD AS IF IT HAD A JOLT OF ENERGY. THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY AND ON DIFFERENT ELEVATIONS AND LOCATIONS WHILE THE CAR IS STOPPED. IT WORRIES ME THAT THE CAR WILL LURCH FORWARD WHILE STOPPED AND HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, WHICH IS WHY IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN. I FEEL AS THOUGHT THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COSTS TO REPAIR THIS BRAKE SENSOR AND IT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A RECALL ON THE VEHICLE. I HAVE READ OF MANY OTHER CUSTOMERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE ON THE VEHICLE MODEL AND YEAR.

THE RECALL (GM RECALL # 12213) WAS PERFORMED ON APRIL 30, 2014. SINCE THIS DATE, THE BRAKES COME ON NO MATTER WHAT SPEED YOU'RE GOING. ALL OF THE BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON, EVEN WHEN FOOT IS ON THE ACCELERATOR AND THE CAR WILL SLOWLY START TO SLOW DOWN. IT ALSO CAUSES THE CRUISE CONTROL TO DISENGAGE AND THE CAR TO SLOW DOWN. SAFETY NOTICE #14417 COOLANT LEVELS LOW I HAVE TAKEN MY CRUZE IN TO THE DEALERSHIP ON THE FOLLOWING DATES: 8/14/2013, 4/30/2014, 5/6/2014, AND 11/7/2014. EACH TIME I WAS TOLD THE CAR WAS FINE. I AM ADDING A HALF A GALLON OF ANTI-FREEZE EVERY 2-3 WEEKS. THE SERVICE REPORT FROM 4/30/2014 SAYS THEY FOUND A FAULTY PUMP LEAKING OUT COOLANT AND IT WAS REPLACED. THEN WHY IS COOLANT STILL LEAKING? LAST, BUT CERTAINLY NOT LEAST, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, CODE PO240. THE DEALERSHIP KEEPS TELLING ME IT IS THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND IT IS NOT. THERE IS NO LOSS OF POWER AND NO ROTTING EGG SMELL. SO INSTEAD OF CHANGING PARTS UNDER WARRANTY THAT COME UP WITH THE CODE, THEY CHECKED 2 ITEMS FOR THE 4 TIME EACH (WHICH HAVE BEEN FIXED) AND THEY CHECKED THE PARTS I CHANGED MYSELF BUT THEY NEVER CHANGED THE O2 SENSORS WHICH ARE THE PROBABLE ISSUE. THEY RESET THE CODE TO SEE IF THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. IT DID. WHEN I RETURNED 6 DAYS LATER, MY WARRANTY MILEAGE WAS PAST BY 677 MILES AND INSTEAD OF CALLING IT A CONTINUATION FROM THE PREVIOUS VISIT WHERE THE PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED, THEY STARTED A NEW WORK ORDER AND IMMEDIATELY WANTED TO CHANGE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. I HAD ON-STAR AT THE TIME. DIAGNOSTICS OF MARCH 2014 SHOWED NO ISSUES. AFTER THE WORK DONE IN APRIL 2014, THE DIAGNOSTIC CAME BACK WITH AN ISSUE WITH THE EXHAUST SYSTEM (CODE PO240). I HAVE HEARD WHAT PEOPLE HAVE SAID ABOUT THIS DEALERSHIP BUT I RARELY LISTEN TO GOSSIP. APPARENTLY, IT'S ALL TRUE. THEY JUST WANT TO FIX THE EXPENSIVE PARTS AND WILL MAKE THEM BREAK DOWN SO YOU BRING IT BACK. *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

2011 CHEVY CRUZE AFTER RECALL # 12213 FOR BRAKE VACUUM MICRO SWITCH HAS BEEN COMPLETED. THE VEHICLE IS DISPLAYING THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS AS BEFORE THE RECALL WORK WAS DONE. UNDER COLD START UP CONDITIONS (CAR SITTING OVERT NIGHT) THE BRAKE PETAL IS DIFFICULT TO DEPRESS SO BRAKES DO NOT STOP CAR EASILY. THIS IS INTERMITTENT. I HAVE DISCOVERED IF YOU PLACES THE CAR IN NEUTRAL WHILE THIS IS HAPPENING THE BRAKES START WORKING CORRECTLY. SOUNDS LIKE A DESIGN ISSUE TO ME. THE DEALER WANTS TO REPLACE THE PART THAT THE RECALLED MICRO SWITCH GOES INTO. THIS WILL INCLUDE ANOTHER SWITCH. THIS PART (#13457666) APPEARS TO BE THE VALVE THAT THE MICRO SWITCH OPENS AND CLOSES AS NEEDED TO PROVIDE THE NEEDED VACUUM. AGAIN, THIS SEEMS RELATED TO THE ORIGINAL ISSUE. *TR

I HAD COME FROM A RED LIGHT THAT TURNED GREEN, AND AS I APPROACHED THE NEXT RED LIGHT, IT HAD TURNED GREEN BEFORE I GOT THERE. I WAS COASTING IN SLOWLY AS THE VEHICLES THAT WERE ALREADY WAITING AT THAT LIGHT WERE STARTING TO MOVE FORWARD. THOUGH THE LIGHT WAS GREEN, THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME HAD STOPPED RIGHT AS HE GOT TO THE INTERSECTION - HE WAS PROACTIVE IN STOPPING FOR AN AMBULANCE THAT WAS LEAVING THE STATION AT THE CORNER (IT WAS NOT ON THE STREET YET AND NO SIRENS.) I WENT TO SLOW DOWN BEFORE REALIZING HE WAS ACTUALLY STOPPED (AT THAT MOMENT, WAS UNAWARE OF AN AMBULANCE.) WHEN I REALIZED HE WAS ACTUALLY STOPPED, I STILL HAD PLENTY OF TIME TO STOP THE DISTANCE I WAS FROM HIS CAR AHEAD OF ME, BUT MY CAR WOULD NOT STOP! THE CAR SLOWED DOWN SIGNIFICANTLY, HOWEVER, IT WOULD NOT STOP. IT JUST KEPT ROLLING FORWARD AT A VERY SLOW PACE. I REMEMBER PRESSING THE BRAKE HARDER, AND THE ABS KICKED IN, AND I HEARD THE "CRUNCH" SOUND 3 TIMES, EVEN THOUGH THE GROUND WAS DRY, AT THE TIME I DID NOT KNOW WHY, I THOUGHT SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE ABS, BUT THE CAR NEVER STOPPED. ALL I COULD DO WAS WATCH IN VERY SLOW MOTION AS MY CAR CONTINUED TO PULL FORWARD AND I EVENTUALLY DRIFTED INTO THE REAR OF THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. IT WAS A VERY SLOW-MOVING INCIDENT BUT I FELT TOTALLY HELPLESS AS THE CAR CONTINUED TO ROLL. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO HIS VEHICLE, ONLY TO MINE. I WAS UPSET BC I KEPT REPLAYING THE INCIDENT IN MY MIND: WHY DIDN'T MY CAR STOP? WHY DID IT FEEL LIKE IT WAS BEING PULLED FORWARD? I HAD MY CAR REPAIRED AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKES OR TIRES OR FLUID. A FEW MONTHS LATER, I REC'D THE 12213 ELECTRIC VACUUM PUMP AND FOUND THE DESCRIPTION MATCHED MY EXPERIENCE. I WANT CHEVROLET TO REFUND ME AND MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND CLEAR THIS ACCIDENT AS MY FAULT. I AM ALSO MAKING A COMPLAINT TO CHEVROLET. *TR
