What 731 owners told NHTSA about the 2011 Chevrolet Cruze Limited

I PARKED MY CAR IN A PARKING LOT TO GO INTO A STORE AND WHEN I CAME BACK IMMEDIATELY AFTER I STARTED IT UNDER THE HOOD THERE WAS A LOT OF SMOKE EVEN AFTER I TURNED IT OFF THERE WAS STILL SMOKE EVERYWHERE.

2011 CHEVY CRUZE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. OCCASIONAL HESITATION ACCELERATING, CLUNKING JERKING TRANSITIONING THROUGH GEARS ACCELERATING OR SLOWING DOWN WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAY. TRIED TO ACCELERATE ON HIGHWAY AND CAR TOOK A LONG WHILE TO GET UP TO SPEED WHILE OTHER CARS BEHIND ME WERE HONKING HORNS FOR ME TO SPEED UP. DEALER SAYS ALL IS FINE AND THAT'S JUST HOW THE TRANSMISSION AND TURBO ENGINE IS! CAN NEVER DUPLICATE THIS PROBLEM. NOW NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY, THE DEALER IS WILLING TO KEEP THE CAR FOR A LONGER PERIOD. GM SAYS IT WOULD "SEE" WHAT THEY COULD DO AFTER THE DEALER PHYSICALLY INSPECTS THE TRANSMISSION AT MY COST. THE DEALER CHARGES $145. PER HR. LABOR RATE!! I WENT TO ANOTHER MECHANIC AND HAD THEM CHANGE THE TRANSMISSION FLUID BECAUSE THE DEALER SAID THE FLUID DOESN'T NEED AND HE SAID IT WAS BLACK! HAD IT CHANGED AFTER I READ COMPLAINTS ON CARCOMPLAINTS.COM. I AM JUST AFRAID THAT IT WILL QUIT ON ME WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEED! I CAN'T AFFORD TO SPEND MONEY ON A NEW TRANS IF I WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS. GM SHOULD HAVE A FULL RECALL ON THE 2011 CRUZE. THE CAR HAD ONLY 29,000 MI. ON IT THE FIRST TIME I COMPLAINED AND NOW IT HAS 69,000 AND THE PROBLEM MANIFESTS ITSELF A LITTLE MORE FREQUENTLY BUT NOT ON A WEEKLY BASIS. I AM AT MY WITS END AND THE PROBLEM IS NOT IN MY HEAD. PEOPLE ARE IN DANGER AND GM ISN'T "OWNING" THIS PROBLEM. EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED. I'VE MAINTAINED THIS VEHICLE FAITHFULLY WITH OIL CHANGES, ETC. SINCE DAY ONE...RESPONDED TO ALL RECALLS. NOT GOING TO DEALER AGAIN. ALWAYS HAVE SOMETHING TO REPAIR OR REPLACE.

WE WILL BE DRIVING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR STALLS OUT. IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR 6 MONTHS BUT RECENTLY IT HAS GOTTEN A LOT MORE FREQUENT AND I HAD MY BATTERY TESTED AND IT'S NOT THAT. ALSO, MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS WORK BUT THEY ARE STUCK IN THE UPRIGHT POSITION. I TOOK IT TO A DEALER SHIP AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE MOTOR AND IT WAS OVER 300.00 TO FIX IT

WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, A WARNING CAME ON SAYING THAT MY A/C WAS TURNED OFF BECAUSE MY ENGINE WAS OVERHEATING AND MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. MY TEMPERATURE GAUGE WAS ON COLD. WHEN I FIRST TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG. THEY CLEARED THE CODES AND TOLD ME TO COME BACK IF THE WARNING CAME BACK ON. THREE WEEKS LATER, THE WARNING CAME ON AGAIN WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THE FIRST TIME THE WARNING CAME ON, I HAD BEEN DRIVING FOR ABOUT 6 HOURS. AFTER THE CODES WERE CLEARED, THE WARNING CAME BACK ON WHEN I HAD BEEN DRIVING FOR ABOUT 2.5 HOURS. IN THE TWO WEEKS BETWEEN THE WARNING COMING BACK ON AND WHEN I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, SOMETIMES THE WARNING WOULD COME ON RIGHT AWAY WHEN I TURNED ON THE CAR. OTHER TIMES, IT WOULD TAKE 10 MINS OF DRIVING BEFORE IT WOULD COME ON. WHEN I DROVE, THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE WOULD FLUCTUATE BETWEEN COLD AND HALFWAY BETWEEN COLD AND HOT. AFTER FLUCTUATING FOR A FEW MINUTES, IT WOULD GO TO COLD AND THE WARNING WOULD COME ON. I TOOK IT BACK AND THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT MY COOLANT THERMOSTAT SENSOR AND HOUSING NEEDED REPLACING. THE CAR HAD ERROR CODES P0118 AND P0117. AS THIS PROBLEM COULD CAUSE MY ENGINE TO OVERHEAT AND IT SEEMS LIKE IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE CHEVY CRUZE, I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL YET. THE WARNING OCCURRED WITH A LITTLE LESS THAN 55,000 MILES ON THE CAR.

BOUGHT THIS CAR USED WITH 51K MILES A MONTH AGO. DROVE GREAT THE FIRST WEEK, AFTER THAT LOSES POWERUPON ACCELERATION AND IS SLOW TO GET UP TO SPEED. WHILE DRIVING JUST NOW, THE CAR WAS LOSING POWER SO I DECIDED TO HIT THE GAS HARDER AND INSTEAD OF GOING FASTER THE THE STABILITY TRACK LIGHT CAME ON. I AM STARTING TO WONDER IF I MADE A BAD DECISION PURCHASING THIS CAR. IT HAD TROUBLE GOING UP HILL ON THE HIGHWAY LAST WK. THIS CAR IS TOO COMPACT TO HAVE SPEED ISSUES.

WHEN I AM DRIVING DOWN THE HIGH WAY OR IF I AM GOING UP THE HILL MY VEHICLE FEELS LIKE IT IS GOING TO STALL SO I HAVE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. IT ALSO WAS A SALVAGE TITLE AND I HAD NO IDEA WHEN I BOUGHT IT I FOUND OUT IT WAS A SALVAGE VEHICLE AFTER I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO FIX MY RECALL IN WHICH THEY CLAIM THEY FIXED MY RECALL BUT I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER MECHANIC AND THEY TOLD ME THE RECALL WAS NOT FIXED. THE RECALL WAS A TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE. ALSO WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR I TOOK IT BACK THREE TIMES AND THEY SAID SINCE I PAID CASH FOR IT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO I FEEL LIKE THIS WAS A LEMON.

MY 2011 CHEVY CRUZE THROWS TWO CODES CAM SHAFT POSITION SENSOR AND CRANK SHAFT POSITION SENSOR WE'VE REPLACE THEM TWICE ENGINE STILL THROWS THE CODE. MY CAR WHEN I BACK UP JERKS SOME TIMES AND AND THE TAILLIGHTS FLICKER. I'M GETTING TIRED OF REPLACING THESE PARTS. IT'S BEEN GOING ON WEEKS AND I'VE REPLACED THEM TWICE NOW.

I PURCHASED A PRE-OWNED 2011 CHEVY CRUZE IN AUGUST OF 2016. IN DECEMBER, I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY CAR STARTED TO JERK AS I PUSHED ON THE GAS AND IT WOULDN'T ACCELERATE. I PULL OVER AND PARKED THE CAR TO SEE WHAT WAS WRONG. I RESTARTED THE CAR AND PUT IT IN DRIVE, BUT IT WOULDN'T GO FORWARD; HOWEVER, WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE, IT MOVED. MY MOM CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WE BOUGHT IT FROM TO CLAIM THE LEMON LAW, BUT THEIR RESPONSE WAS THAT THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT BECAUSE THE CAR WAS OLDER THAN 30 DAYS. SHE WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THE LEMON LAW DOES NOT APPLY TO USED VEHICLES, SO MY DAD HAD THE CAR TOWED TO CHEVROLET. THEY SAID THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS THE ISSUE. MY ISSUE IS THAT I HAD THIS CAR FOR 4 MONTHS. REPLACING OR GETTING THE TRANSMISSION FIXED COSTS MORE THAN THE CAR IS WORTH. I DO NOT HAVE THE FUNDS FOR THIS BEING THAT I AM A COLLEGE STUDENT, AND I NEED THIS TRANSPORTATION. I CAN'T TRADE THIS CAR IN SINCE IT'S IN THIS CONDITION. MY OTHER ISSUE IS THAT THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS MALFUNCTION IN THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ON THIS ISSUE, I REALIZED THAT THERE A LOT OF PEOPLE DEALING WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM AND OTHERS REGARDING THE TRANSMISSION. I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THE TRANSMISSION BECAUSE THIS ISSUE IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING DOWN A CITY STREET, THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT. JUST AS IT WAS ABOUT TO MOVE FORWARD AS THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, IT WENT INTO ENGINE POWER REDUCED MODE AND PREVENTED THE VEHICLE FROM MOVING FORWARD AT A NORMAL RATE OF SPEED. THANKFULLY WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR OFF THE ROAD. HAD TO BE TOWED TO MECHANIC. THE CONDITIONS WERE COLD (ABOUT 20 DEGREES), WITH NO ICE. FURTHER WARNINGS INCLUDED TRACTION CONTROL SERVICING, BUT THERE WERE NO ISSUES WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM. MECHANIC IS SAYING IT IS A THROTTLE BODY ISSUE.

WHILE DRIVING TO WORK I RECEIVED THE TURN OFF AC ENGINE TO HOT WARNING.THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE WAS IN THE 50'S. PULLED OVER AND SAW THE COOLANT WAS LOW,ADDED COOLANT BUT IT WOULDN'T STAY IN THE TANK. TOOK THE CAR TO ARROWHEAD CHEVROLET IN PEORIA,AZ AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE WATER OUTLET HOUSING LEAKING AND COST TO REPLACE WAS $490.00, THE CAR HAS 69,000 AND SHOULDN'T BE HAVING THIS ISSUE,THE DEALERSHIP COULD CARE LESS,CALLED GM WARRANTY AND WAS TOLD BASICALLY TOO BAD AND WE ARE SORRY BUT IT'S NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND WE WILL NOT PROVIDE COST ASSISTANCE FOR THE REPAIR. CURRENTLY THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE COOLANT LEAKING AT THE WATER PUMP,BUT GM FEELS IT SHOULDN'T COVER THE WATER OUTLET HOUSING. I'M SURE IT'S LEAKING FROM THE WATER PUMP BUT THE SERVICE MANAGER JUST WANTED TO MAKE A DOLLAR OFF A POOR SINGLE MOM. SHAME ON GM FOR KNOWING THE ISSUE WITH THE COOLANT LEAKING ISN'T JUST RELATED TO THE WATER PUMP BUT THE WHOLE COOLING SYSTEM!! *TR

THIS VEHICLE SAFETY COMPLAINT IS IN REGARDS TO MY 2011 CHEVROLET CRUZE LT, WHICH WAS SERVICED AT OURISMAN CHEVROLET OF BOWIE, A GENERAL MOTORS (GM) AUTHORIZED DEALER, FOR THE REPAIR OF MY VEHICLE.

AFTER ABOUT 30 SECONDS OF THIS CONDITION, MY CAR WOULD RESUME NORMAL FUNCTIONING. I INCURRED $1,247.08 IN UNWARRANTED REPAIRS FOR MY VEHICLE, WHICH WAS NEVER PROPERLY DIAGNOSED, LEADING TO MY VEHICLE SHUTTING DOWN WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT ON OCTOBER 22, 2016.

I HAVE BEEN HAVING SEVERAL ISSUES LATELY THAT ARE NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY WITH MY CAR. POWER TRAIN ISSUES, STABILITY ISSUES, SENSOR ISSUES. THESE ISSUES HAVE HAPPENED ON AND OFF AND SOME HAVE BEEN FIXED BEFORE AND THEY KEEP GETTING WORSE. THE CAR STARTS SHAKING REALLY BAD WHEN I AM DRIVING. IT DOES NOT FEEL SAFE. *TR

SINCE PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE THERE HAS ALWAYS BEEN A HESITATION IN THE ACCELERATION AND "ENGINE JERKING". I ORIGINALLY REPORTED WITHIN THE FIRST APPROX 6 MONTHS OF OWNING THE VEHICLE. THE SERVICE CENTER HAD THEIR TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND I WAS TOLD "THAT IS JUST HOW IT DRIVES. I TOLD THEM ON A SECOND TIME ABOUT THE ONGOING ISSUES AND WAS DISMISSED. LAST YEAR I STARTED GETTING THE "SERVICE STABILITRAK" ERROR AND THE JERKING AND LACK OF ACCELERATION AND HESITATION HAS GOTTEN INCREASINGLY WORSE. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AS TRYING TO GO FROM A STOPPED POSITION AND GOING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION IT WILL LAG AND CAN CAUSE A DELAY ALSO DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IT WILL JERK AND ALMOST FEEL LIKE I COULD LOSE CONTROL OF THE CAR. I OFTEN ALSO GET A SMELL OF THE COOLANT THAT GOES THROUGH MY CAR. I HAVE HAD ALL RECALLS IN THE PAST TAKEN CARE OF, BUT THE STABILITRAK IS AN ONGOING ISSUE THAT IS VERY CONCERNING FOR THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND MY DAUGHTER AS A PASSENGER IN THE VEHICLE. IT HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE SINCE THE PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE 05/2011 ONLY INCREASING IN SEVERITY. *TR
