CAR SLOW TO CRANK, CHECK POWER STEERING COMES ON OR CHECK ANTI THEFT SYSTEM OCCASIONALLY. SOMETIMES THE WIPERS, EMERGENCY LIGHTS OR TRUNK POPS OPEN. NO ON CAN GIVE ME AN ANSWER AS TO WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON WITH MY 2012 CRUZ. THIS HAPPENS WHILE THE CAR IS STATIONARY.

VALVE COVER REPLACEMENT - MY CAR HAS HAD VARIOUS CODES GOING FOR MONTHS. THESE VARIOUS CODES ALL POINT TO AN EMISSIONS LEAK FROM THE VALVE COVER AND NOW I HAVE TO REPLACE THIS AND IT IS ONE ENTIRE UNIT. I SEE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THESE SPRINGS AND VALVE COVERS. IF CHEVROLET KNEW IT WAS A PROBLEM, WHY WOULDN'T THEY RECALL THESE AND FIX THIS BEFORE MAKING A SINGLE MOM LIKE ME WHOSE TRYING TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL, PAY FOR THIS! I HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT PULLING OUT IN FRONT SOMEONE AND THE CAR STALLING AND RISKING MY AND MY CHILDREN'S LIVES ALL BECAUSE CHEVY USED A CHEAP, POORLY DESIGNED PART FOR THIS!

THE BRAKE PEDAL IN MY CRUZE WILL NOT LET YOU PUSH IT DOWN. IT FEELS THAT THERE IS SOMETHING BLOCKING IT WHICH WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO BRAKE WHEN NEEDED. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS IN 2015 IN WHICH WE LEARNED OF A RECALL (13V360000) FOR THE MICROSWITCH IN THE POWER BRAKE VACUUM PIPE ASSEMBLY. WE TOOK IT TO A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP & WAS TOLD THE SWITCH WAS REPLACED. IN 2016 THE SAME THING HAPPENED, WHILE ACCELERATING SOMEONE PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME & WHEN I WENT TO STOP THERE WAS NO BRAKES BECAUSE THE PEDAL WOULD NOT PUSH. NO ACCIDENT OCCURRED AS I WAS ABLE TO AVOID THE OTHER VEHICLE. TOOK THE CAR BACK TO DEALERSHIP WHERE NO ONE THERE WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO HAPPEN AGAIN SO THEREFORE WAS TOLD NOTHING WAS WRONG, BUT I DIDNT PUSH THE BRAKES HARD ENOUGH IN JULY 2017, WHILE BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT, WENT TO STOP TO PUT THE CAR INTO DRIVE, THERE WAS AGAIN NO BRAKES. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK AGAIN TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE ONCE AGAIN THE BRAKES WERE NOT WORKING & THE BRAKE PEDAL HAD TO BE STOMPED ON TO GET IT TO EVEN MOVE A LITTLE BIT. WAS TOLD THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER HAD GONE OUT IN THE CAR AND THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER MAY ALSO NEED TO BE REPLACED AS WELL. WE THEN HAD THE MASTER CYLINDER REPLACED. THAT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. SO THEN WE HAD THE BRAKE BOOSTER REPLACED. WE PICKED UP THE VEHICLE ONLY TO FIND OUT WHEN ACCELERATING BUT NEED TO STOP THERE IS AGAIN NO BRAKES. THE CAR IS BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP WHO IS NOW STATING THAT IT COULD POSSIBLY BE THE BREAK BOOSTER CHECK VALUE BUT ARE NOT 100% SURE THAT THIS WILL FIX THE PROBLEM BUT DID STATE THAT IF THE ORIGINAL RECALL HAD BEEN DONE THAT WE WOULD NOT BE HAVING ANY OF THE PROBLEMS WE ARE HAVING NOW. I INFORMED THEM THAT THE RECALL WAS DONE AT ANOTHER CHEVY DEALERSHIP. SO AFTER ALMOST 2 YEARS $2,500 LATER WE STILL HAVE A VEHICLE WITHOUT BREAKS WE ARE UNABLE TO DRIVE THAT IS IN THE SHOP ONCE AGAIN.

WHEN I TRY AND START MY CAR SOMETIME IT STALLS LIKE IT DOESN'T WANT TO CRANK UP AND WHEN I FINALLY DO GET IT CRANK THE EMERGENCY LIGHTS FLASH, POWER STEERING COMES ON THE SCREEN AND THEN WINDSHIELD WIPERS COME ON.

ON AUGUST 19, 2017, I WAS ON THE ROAD, DROVE PASSED SOUTH CENTER MALL WHEN I FELT THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH MY ENGINE BECAUSE IT WASN'T DRIVING FAST AS USUAL. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, AT INSPIRUS CREDIT UNION IN TUKWILA TO CHECK THE ENGINE IF IT WAS OKAY WHEN I SMELLED A FAINT SCENT OF SMOKE. I DROVE BACK HOME TO PARK IT FOR FEAR OF THE ENGINE EXPLODING. OUR FAMILY MECHANIC CHECKED THE ENGINE AND SAID THAT THE FAN IS TOO LOUD AS IF SOMETHING IS CAUSING IT TO BE OVERWORKED. THE ENGINE FAN HAS ALWAYS BEEN LOUD AFTER MY OIL CHANGE ON JULY 21, 2017. THE ENGINE LIGHT HAS NOT BEEN TURNED OFF SINCE THE OIL CHANGE AND I KNOW THAT THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. ALSO, I ENTERED THE VIN NUMBER ONLINE AND IT SAID THAT THE RECALL ON MY CAR IS INCOMPLETE. THE DEALER DID NOT INFORM ME ABOUT THE RECALL NOR MENTIONED ANYTHING ABOUT IT WHEN I BOUGHT IT. THEY DID NOT GIVE ME A WRITTEN LETTER OF THE RECALL OR EVEN SPECIFIED THE RECALL BEING INCOMPLETE.

(THIS LETTER IS ABOUT HOLDING INDIVIDUALS ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR RESPONSIBILITIES.) WE PURCHASED A NEW CAR IN 2012 A CHEVY CRUZE , THE TRANSMISSION FAILED ON 7-15-2017 IT NEEDS A REBUILD . ( THIS TO US IS UNACCEPTABLE ) WE HAVE NEVER HAD A VEHICLE WITH THIS ISSUE . WE ALWAYS TAKE CARE OF PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE ON TIME AND WHEN IT'S DUE. THE FLUIDS IN THIS CAR ARE NEVER LOW OR LEAKING , IT NEVER PULLS OR HAULS LOADS, IT'S NEVER ABUSED OR OVERHEATED TO CAUSE THIS ISSUE. WE HAD THE CAR TOWED BY AAA 7-17-2017 TO MASTER TRANSMISSION IN ROSEMOUNT MN , AFTER LEARNING THIS WILL COST $3500.00 TO REPAIR , WE CALLED CHEVROLET CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER AT 1-800-222-1020 ON 7-18-2017 TALKED TO ARLEEN, WE EXPLAINED OUR SITUATION SHE TOOK OUR INFORMATION , GAVE US A CASE # 8-3096863922, SHE SAID SHE COULD HELP, THEY WILL TAKE CARE OF THIS AND NOT TO WORRY. SHE TRANSFERRED US TO GM ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND THEY TOWED THE CAR TO VALLEY CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP IN HASTINGS MN. ON 7-20-2017 THIS DEALERSHIP CALLED US AND SAID THEY RECEIVED AN EMAIL FROM CHEVROLET STATING CHEVROLET WILL PAY ZERO FOR THIS REPAIR. THE PROBLEM IS ( WHY DID THEY SAY THEY CAN HELP & WILL TAKE CARE OF THIS ) THEN TOW THE CAR WILLINGLY TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEN REVERSE THEIR DECISION ? ON TOP OF ALL THIS THE DEALERSHIP WANTS EVEN MORE MONEY OVER $3700.00 TO REPAIR. THIS CHEVROLET CORPORATION MADE OUR SITUATION EVEN WORSE BECAUSE THEY DON'T STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT OR WORDS. IT'S A HIGHER REPAIR AT DEALERSHIP AND THEY WILLINGLY TOWED THE CAR TO DEALERSHIP AND NOW WANT US TO PAY TOW BACK TO ROSEMOUNT MN . WE NEVER KNEW WE WERE BUYING A $20,000.00 DISPOSABLE VEHICLE. WE HAVE (2 IGNITION KEYS) 1 BROKE IN HALF UNDER NORMAL USE , THE OTHER KEY HAS A FRACTURE ON THE VERGE OF SNAPPING IN HALF FROM NORMAL USE.
