WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED FOR IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES THE RPM'S GO SO HIGH THE CAR ACCELERATES AND IT SOUNDS LIKE THE ENGINE IS GOING TO BLOW UP... AT THE SAME TIME THE STEERING COLUMN LOCKS AND I LOOSE ALL ABILITY TO STEER THE VEHICLE AND THE BRAKE ALSO TRY TO LOCK. MAKING THE CAR FEEL LIKE I RAN SOMETHING OVER AND IT STUCK UNDER THE CAR.... PULLING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND PUTTING THE CAR IN NEUTRAL HELP BRING IT TO A STOP- *TR

EVERY TIME I USE MY HEATER I GET A STRONG BURNING SMELL OF COOLANT/ ANTIFREEZE AND LOSS OF COOLANT. MOSTLY WHEN I AM STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT/STOP SIGN AND IT'S INTERMITTENT BETWEEN SLIGHT OR REALLY STRONG. I DID A LOT OF ONLINE RESEARCH AND FOUND LOTS OF OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME COMPLAINTS, EVEN FOUND LOCAL NEWS STORIES FROM OTHER STATES ON YOUTUBE. ALL FINGERS SEEM TO POINT TO THE HEATER CORE AND OR THE GREASE USED IN THE HVAC SYSTEM.THE SMELL IS SO BAD SOMETIMES THAT I HAVE TO ROLL DOWN AT LEAST TWO WINDOWS AND TURN OFF THE INTERIOR FAN UNTIL I START DRIVING AGAIN. I BOUGHT THE CAR CERTIFIED USED A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO AND THEY SHOULD HAVE CAME UP WITH A SOLUTION 2 YEARS AGO WHEN THE PROBLEM AND COMPLAINTS STARTED. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE RECALLED ALREADY. THIS IS A HEALTH ISSUE! I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO ENJOY MY FIRST NICE CAR AND NOT WORRY ABOUT GETTING SICK OR DYING FROM THIS! *TR

WHILE DRIVING IN RAIN THE DRIVER'S SIDE WIPER BLADE STOPPED WORKING. IT WAS SCARY BECAUSE I COULD NOT SEE. I PULLED IN AT MECHANIC SHOP TO CHECK IT OUT. THE MECHANIC SHOWED ME WHERE THE ARM FOR THE DRIVER SIDE IS CONNECTED BY BEING PRESSED INTO A BALL. IN MY VEHICLE THE ARM POPPED OUT OF THE BALL CAUSING THE DRIVER'S SIDE BLADE TO STOP WORKING. THE PLASTIC SOCKET PROBABLY GOT WORN. THE MECHANIC DID NOT HAVE THE ARM AVAILABLE SO HE INNOVATED. I OWNED SEVERAL VEHICLES IN MY LIFE AND MUCH OLDER AND THE WIPER BLADES NEVER QUIT LIKE THIS. I THINK IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND I AM SCARED DRIVING THE CRUZE. I STILL HAVE THE INNOVATED FIX IN CASE SOMEBODY WANTS TO LOOK AT IT. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH CHEVY. *TR

MY 2011 CHEVY CRUZE HAS AN ACCELERATION HESITATION. STARTING ABOUT 2 MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2010 THE ISSUE BEGAN. WHEN I NEED TO ACCELERATE IN CERTAIN SITUATIONS SUCH AS PULLING OUT ON A ROAD, PASSING ANOTHER VEHICLE, ACCELERATING AFTER REDUCING SPEED, ETC. ETC. THE CAR LOSES POWER WHEN I STEP ON THE GAS FOR THREE-FIVE SECONDS BEFORE SLOWLY RESPONDING AND ACCELERATING TO WHERE I NEED IT TO BE. IT'S AS IF THE CAR DIES FOR A FEW SECONDS. THOSE FEW SECONDS ARE ALWAYS IN SITUATIONS WHEN I NEED TO BE MOVING. I BROUGHT THE CAR IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS NORMAL.THE ISSUE IS GETTING WORSE SO I BROUGHT THE CAR IN TO DEALERSHIP AGAIN AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG.MY CAR WAS IN FOR OTHER RECALLS AND THEY GAVE ME A LOANER 2013 CRUZE TO DRIVE. THE NEWER CRUZE DID NOT HAVE THE HESITATION PROBLEM AT ALL, IT DROVE BEAUTIFULLY. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL THAT HAVE THIS SAME ISSUE. IT IS DANGEROUS!! JUST BECAUSE NO ONE THAT WE KNOW OF HASN'T DIED YET THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT THERE ISN'T AN ISSUE. THE 2011 CRUZE IS UNSAFE AND SOMEONE NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. *TR

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW FROM A CHEVY DEALERSHIP IN EDEN PRAIRIE, MN. AFTER ONLY 2 MTHS, IT BEGAN INTERMITTENTLY HESITATING, LURCHING FORWARD WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE (WHILE SOMETIMES BLOWING HOT AIR FROM THE AC) & REFUSING TO ACCELERATE. MULTIPLE TIMES IT HAS COMPLETELY STALLED OUT (WHILE DRIVING 30-40 MPH ON A HIGHWAY & WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP ON A HILL RESULTING IN ROLLING BACKWARD). IT IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE 4TH TIME FOR THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE, BUT DOES NOT SHOW ANY CODES (NO SES LIGHT). THEY HAVE MADE MANY REPAIRS IN AN ATTEMPT TO FIX THIS ISSUE (LEAKING WATER PUMP, REPROGRAMS, WASTEGATE SOLENOID REPLACEMENT, ETC), BUT THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS. I AM CONCERNED THAT MY CAR WILL STALL WHILE ON A HIGHWAY OR PASSING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION, WHICH WOULD POSE A HUGE SAFETY THREAT. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS SIMILAR COMPLAINTS & WOULD LIKE GM TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY & REPLACE/RECALL THESE VEHICLES. *TR

MY 2011 CHEVY CRUZE HAS AN ACCELERATION HESITATION THAT CAUSES ME TO FEEL TOTALLY UNSAFE IN THE VEHICLE. STARTING ABOUT 6 MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2011 THE ISSUE BEGAN. WHEN I NEED TO ACCELERATE IN CERTAIN SITUATIONS SUCH AS PULLING OUT ON A ROAD, PASSING ANOTHER VEHICLE, ACCELERATING AFTER REDUCING SPEED, ETC. ETC. THE CAR LOSES POWER WHEN I STEP ON THE GAS FOR THREE-FIVE SECONDS BEFORE SLOWLY RESPONDING AND ACCELERATING TO WHERE I NEED IT TO BE. IT'S AS IF THE CAR DIES FOR A FEW SECONDS. THOSE FEW SECONDS ARE ALWAYS IN SITUATIONS WHEN I NEED TO BE MOVING AND I DON'T LIKE IT. I BROUGHT THE CAR IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS TURBO LAG. THINKING I DIDN'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT CARS, I LET IT GO. THE ISSUE IS GETTING WORSE (AND THERE WERE NUMEROUS OTHER LITTLE ISSUES) SO I BROUGHT THE CAR IN TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP RIGHT BEFORE IT HIT 36,000 MILES AND WAS TOLD (ON TWO SEPARATE VISITS) THAT THE PROBLEM WAS PERFECTLY NORMAL AND THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. THEY SHOWED ME A TSB FROM CHEVROLET SAYING THAT THE ISSUE WAS NORMAL. THEY ALSO SAID THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE. INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH, WHEN THEY HAD MY CAR FOR A TOTAL OF 7.5 DAYS (OVER TWO SEPARATE VISITS) THEY GAVE ME A 2013 CRUZE TO DRIVE. THE NEWER CRUZE DID NOT HAVE THE HESITATION PROBLEM AT ALL, IT DROVE BEAUTIFULLY. THIS LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT GM REALIZED THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE 2011 CRUZE AND WAS ABLE TO REMEDY IT IN THE NEWER MODELS OF THE CAR WHICH LEAVES THE MANY 2011 CRUZE OWNERS SCARED FOR THEIR LIVES EVERY TIME THEY DRIVE THEIR CARS FOREVER. THAT ISN'T RIGHT. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL THAT HAVE THIS SAME ISSUE. IT IS DANGEROUS!! JUST BECAUSE NO ONE THAT WE KNOW OF HASN'T DIED YET THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT THERE ISN'T AN ISSUE. THE 2011 CRUZE IS UNSAFE AND SOMEONE NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. *TR

AFTER ABOUT 10,000 MILES THE CAR HESITATES WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS PUSHED. AROUND 20 TO 30 MPH WHEN NEEDING TO SPEED UP THE VEHICLE THE VEHICLE WILL STALL THE TRANSMISSION WILL THEN KICK IN WITH NOISE. VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE IN MODERATE TO HEAVY TRAFFIC IN CITIES. I HAVE BEEN IN TRAFFIC WITH MULTIPLE LANES AND WANTING TO PASS SOMEONE. WHEN PUSHING THE ACCELERATOR TO PASS THE CAR JUST SITS THERE! THEN AFTER A HESITATION THE CAR WILL POP THEN FINALLY MOVE. CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR THIS PROBLEM AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY STATE NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE CAR. I EVEN HAD ONE OF THE MECHANICS TELL ME THAT FOR THESE TYPES OF TRANSMISSIONS IT IS NORMAL! HOW CAN THIS BE SAFE! IF I WASN'T AWARE OF MY DRIVING AND A VERY GOOD DRIVER I WOULD HAVE HAD MULTIPLE WRECKS WITH THIS ISSUE. LUCKILY I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO OVER CORRECT WHEN THE SITUATION OCCURS. AT ONE POINT I HAD TO PULL OFF THE INTERSTATE DUE TO THE FACT I WAS PUSHING THE GAS PETAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND MY CAR JUST STALLED AT 23 MPH FOR OVER 15 SECONDS UNTIL I PULLED OVER, RELEASED THE PETAL AND ENGAGED AGAIN. *TR

I WAS INVOLVED IN A FRONT END (MOSTLY DRIVERS SIDE OF CAR) COLLISION WHERE A PERSON RAN A RED LIGHT. BOTH OF OUR VEHICLES WHERE GOING BETWEEN 40 TO 50 MPH. ON IMPACT OF MY CAR NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. MY HEAD HIT THE STEERING WHEEL AND SIDE WINDOW. AFTER HAVING IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT FOR REPAIRS I MENTIONED THIS TO THE MECHANICS. I WAS TOLD THAT THE CAR HAD TO BE HIT IN CERTAIN SPOTS BEFORE THE AIRBAGS DEPLOY! SERIOUSLY? I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR KNOWING THAT IF I AM INVOLVED IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT THE AIRBAGS MAY NOT BE THERE TO SAVE MY LIFE! AND TO THINK THAT IS ONE REASON WHY I PURCHASED THE CAR WAS THE FACT IT HAD HIGH SAFETY STANDARDS! ABSURD. *TR

CAR DURING THE WINTER MONTHS HAS A VERY STRONG ANTI-FREEZE SMELL INSIDE OF CABIN WHEN HEAT IS ON. NOTICEABLE FILM OR FOG ON WINDOW FROM VENTS THAT IS HARD TO CLEAN OFF. SMELL BAD ENOUGH TO CAUSE HEADACHES. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER SHIP MECHANIC TWICE FOR THIS INCIDENT WERE THE MECHANIC STATES NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. ALTHOUGH THE MECHANIC DID AGREE THERE WAS 'SOME SORT' OF FILM ON THE WINDOW. HE STATED ON BOTH OCCASION THAT HE COULD NOT SMELL ANYTHING OR FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. *TR

WHEN DRIVING WITH AN ADULT FEMALE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, THE AIRBAG INDICATOR INDICATES THAT THE AIRBAG IS OFF. ADJUSTING THE SEAT HEIGHT SOMETIMES REMEDIES THIS PROBLEM, RESULTING IN THE INDICATOR LIGHT INDICATING THAT THE AIRBAG IS ON. HOWEVER, MOST OF THE TIME, THE AIRBAG REMAINS OFF. WE NOTIFIED THE CHEVROLET DEALER ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THEY CLAIMED IT WAS NORMAL. WE PURCHASED THIS CAR, IN PART, BECAUSE OF ITS EXCELLENT CRASH RATING. IT IS MOST DISTURBING TO REALIZE THAT IF WE EVER DID GET INTO A CRASH, THE PASSENGER-SIDE AIRBAG WOULD LIKELY NOT DEPLOY. I HAVE A HARD TIME BELIEVING THAT THIS IS "NORMAL". I FEEL LESS THAN SAFE IN THIS CAR. PLEASE HELP IN REMEDYING THIS PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE TWO 2011 CHEVROLET CRUZES THAT I PURCHASED NEW IN 2011. BOTH CARS BEGAN TO HAVE A SOFT BRAKE PEDAL AT ABOUT 7000 MILES WHICH MAKES STOPPING DIFFICULT. MOST NOTABLE AT LOW SPEEDS ESPECIALLY IN REVERSE AND TRYING TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THIS OCCURRED WITH ONE CRUZE ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND TOOK THREE TRIPS TO THE DEALER TO REPAIR. IT JUST STARTED OCCURRING IN THE SECOND CRUZE (ABOUT 7300 MILES ON THIS VEHICLE) THIS WEEK. THE FACT YOU CAN NOT STOP THE CAR APPROPRIATELY SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASES THE RISK FOR AN ACCIDENT OR INJURY. THE FACT THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED IN BOTH MY CRUZES SEEMS TO INDICATE A SIGNIFICANT MECHANICAL ISSUE AND NOT JUST A ONE TIME MALFUNCTION. *TR

6/22/2013 I NOTICED TRANSMISSION LEAKING OIL. BEFORE THAT TRANSMISSION STARTED TO SLIP ON HIGHWAY AND IN TRAFFIC. I TOLD DEALER BEFORE THAT I THINK THE TRANSMISSION IS BAD. DID NOT CHANGE GEARS PROPERLY. DEALER UPDATED COMPUTER BUT TRANSMISSION STILL HAD A HARD SHIFT. CAR WILL BE TAKEN TO DEALER TO HAVE CHECKED. RIGHT NOW IT LOOKS LIKE TRANSMISSION HAS TO BE REPLACED. GM SHOULD RECALLED AND REPLACED TRANSMISSIONS. TRANSMISSIONS CAN SLIP ON HIGHWAY OR IN TRAFFIC AND COULD CAUSE AN CRASH OR BRAKE DOWN. ALSO I HERE THAT OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THEIR CRUZE. *TR

AFTER OIL CHANGE AND LEFT THE DEALERSHIP A STRONG SMELL OF BURNING ANTIFREEZE FILLED THE INSIDE OF THE CAR, IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO BREATH. I TURN THE CAR AROUND BACK TO THE DEALER THEY CHECKED (OR SO THEY SAID) COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT, WHEN I GOT INTO MY CAR IT WAS COVERED WITH AIR FRESHENER THEY PUT SO MUCH OF IT TO COVER UP THE BURNING SMELL THAT IT TOOK ABOUT 3 WEEKS TO WEAR OFF AND THE SMELL STARTED ALL OVER AGAIN. BUT THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING BECAUSE ACCORDING TO THEM THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. THE TRUNK BUTTON DOES NOT WORK ANYMORE THOUGH AT THE DEALER THEY CONFIRM IS AN ISSUE THEY HAVE WITH THE CRUZES THEY WON'T COVER UNDER WARRANTY AND HAVE TO PAY $200.00 FOR SOMETHING THEY KNOW IS A FAULTY PART ON THIS CAR. *TR
