What 864 owners told NHTSA about the 2012 Chevrolet Cruze Limited

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS MY VEHICLE HAS LOST POWER STEERING SERVICE. I HAVE ALMOST CRASHED INTO A METRO RAIL AND INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE BECAUSE I AM UNABLE TO TURN MY WHEEL. ON ANOTHER OCCASION, I WAS ABOUT TO PARK AND THE CAR TURNED OFF ON ME; THE KEY WAS LOCKED INTO THE IGNITION AND I COULDN'T TURN IT, THE DOORS LOCKED AND NOTHING WORKED. I WAS STUCK INSIDE UNTIL AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES, THE CAR UNLOCKED EVERYTHING AND THE ECU TURNED BACK ON. I'VE HAD TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE FOR THIS PROBLEM AND THEY HAVE TOLD ME IT'S COVERED UNDER A "SPECIAL SERVICE" BUT THESE INCIDENTS HAPPENED ALMOST A YEAR APART. I DO NOT BELIEVE THE CAR IS FIXED. ALSO, THE SERVICE STABILITRAK AND OTHER LIGHTS FLASH ON AND OFF AND SO DO MY RADIO.

DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY AND THE DIC STARTS FLASHING AND THEN THE POWER STEERING FAILED AND THE CAR THEN LOST POWER AND THE ENGINE CUT OUT. I WAS ABLE TO PULL THE CAR OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND STOP THE CAR. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. I TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE. I SOON RECEIVED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE CABLE FROM GM FOR 10 YRS OR 120000 MILES. SO THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND CARS CUTTING OUT AND LOSING POWER ON THE HIGHWAY IS NOT CONSIDERED DANGEROUS TO THE DRIVERS OR THEIR PASSENGERS.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AND THE STEERING LOCKED UP AND THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. I PULLED ONTO THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE, PUT MY HAZARDS ON AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. AFTER CALLING FOR ASSISTANCE I WAS TOLD I COULD DRIVE TO THE NEAREST AUTO REPAIR. I TURNED THE CAR ON AND DRIVING WAS LIKE PUSHING THE CAR DOWN THE ROAD AND STEERING WAS DANGEROUSLY DIFFICULT. I GOT TO THE REPAIR SHOP TURNED OFF THE CAR ASKED FOR ASSISTANCE. WHEN MECHANIC TURNED THE CAR ON LIGHT WAS OFF AND POWER STEERING HAD BEEN RESTORED. HE COULD NOT EXPLAIN THE GLITCH THAT CAUSED THE PROBLEM AND SUGGESTED I CONTACT MY DEALERSHIP.

SINCE MARCH 2015, I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH AND I HAVE VIDEO EVIDENCE WHILE IN FAILURE MODE, OF WHAT I BELIEVE TO BE FAILURES OF THE BODY COMPUTER(S) IN THIS VEHICLE. THE DASHBOARD DISPLAYS HAVE BEEN GOING ON AND OFF UNDER A WIDE VARIETY OF DRIVING SITUATIONS, AND WHILE SITTING AT IDLE. THEY FAULT WHEN THE VEHICLE IS SIMPLY DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. MORE OFTEN I NOTICE IT WHEN UTILIZING TURN SIGNALS, HAZARD LIGHTS, AND BREAKING. DURING THESE FAULTS, THE CENTER INFORMATION DISPLAY FOR THE HVAC AND ENTERTAINMENT WILL FREQUENTLY TURN OFF. THIS KILLS THE RADIO. IT AT TIMES KILLS THE HVAC SYSTEMS AND THE TURN SIGNALS (AT LEAST THE NOISE FOR THE TURN SIGNAL INDICATORS). AT TIMES, THE CENTER DISPLAY ABOVE THE STEERING COLUMN WILL GO BLACK AND THEN DISPLAY A MESSAGE ABOUT THE STABILITRAK HAVING FAILED AND REQUIRING IT TO BE CHECKED OR THE ABS NEEDING TO BE SERVICED. THEN IT RETURNS TO NORMAL MODE. THE FREQUENCY HAS INCREASED TO EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE VEHICLE. ALSO ON AT LEAST 3 OCCASIONS THE ABS HAS ACTUALLY FAILED. ON ONE OF THOSE OCCASIONS, I HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE WHILE PARKING. THANKFULLY THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO EITHER VEHICLE. WHEN CONNECTING THE VEHICLE TO A DIAGNOSTIC DEVICE, NO ISSUES ARE INDICATED. I'M IN THE MILITARY IN GERMANY WHERE THE ROADS AND HIGHWAYS ARE EXTREMELY HILLY AND IT SNOWS HEAVILY. I'D RATHER NOT DIE IN AN ACCIDENT BEFORE THIS ISSUE IS RECTIFIED.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR WOULD CONTINUOUSLY REBOOT THE RADIO AND THE WARNING STABILITRAK LIGHT AS WELL AS THE POWER STEERING WARNING WILL SHOW UP ON THE DASH. THE CAR WOULD EXPERIENCE VERY STIFF STEERING AND I ALMOST GOT INTO A CRASH 3 TIMES BECAUSE OF IT. I TOOK IT TO THE AUTONATION CHEVROLET LAUREL, MD DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE A PROBLEM WITH THE BATTERY. ANOTHER TECHNICIAN FROM TNT AUTO IN COLUMBIA, MD SAID THAT ALL THE WIRES SEEM TO BE ON THERE TIGHT TOO. *TR

I RECEIVED MY CHEVY CRUZE IN NOVEMBER OF 2014 USED WITH APROX. 59K MILES. APRIL 7TH DRIVING DOWN A HIGHWAY AT 55-60MPH IT SUDDENLY STARTED SLOWING DOWN AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. IT WOULD JERK AND THE ENGINE WOULD REV LIKE IF YOU WERE TO BE IDLE AND IN PARK AND PRESS THE GAS THAT'S THE SOUND IT MADE. I DID NOT NOTICE THE CHECK ENGINE COME ON OR ANY OTHER LIGHTS AS I WAS TRYING TO CONTROL MY CAR. THE SPEEDOMETER AND RPM INDICATOR STARTED ACTING ERRATICALLY WHILE DOING SO. THE GAUGE WOULD GO UP AND DOWN AND THE CAR WAS SLOWING DOWN. THE STEERING ALSO BECAME VERY SOFT. IF I WERE TO TAKE MY PINKY FINGER AND TURN THE WHEEL IT WOULD HAVE MOVED THAT'S HOW SOFT IT WAS. ALL THIS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES DURING A 30 MINUTE TIME PERIOD. AFTER I SLOWED DOWN AND TRIED GOING OVER 30MPH IT WOULD START TO ACT UP AGAIN. WHILE THIS WAS HAPPENED I ONLY HAD 66K MILES. I GOT IT TOWED TO THE DEALER INSTEAD OF TAKING MY CHANCES DRIVING IT THERE. IT WAS SITTING THERE A WEEK BEFORE THEY EVEN TOUCHED IT AND THEY CLAIM THEY CANT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. I THINK CHEVY DEALERS CLAIM THEY CANT FIND ANYTHING WHEN YOUR CAR IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY SO THEY DON'T HAVE TO FIX IT. *TR

THIS IS MY SECOND COMPLAINT ON THIS VEHICLE FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. AT LOW SPEEDS THE CAR MAKES A GRINDING NOISE THAT CAN BE FELT WHEN TAKING OFF AND TURNING. IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE AND OCCASIONALLY IT CAN BE FELT WHEN I AM NOT EVEN TURNING. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE IT TURNS INTO SOMETHING SERIOUS. *TR

NHTSA ODI 10703749

AT LOW SPEEDS, WHEN TURNING, THERE IS A GRINDING SENSATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND CAN BE FELT IN THE FLOORBOARD. AFTER TAKING THIS TO THE DEALER TWICE, I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE STEERING COLUMN. MY EXTENDED WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER A "NOISE" AND GM WILL NOT COVER AN ISSUE IF THERE IS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. I WAS TOLD THAT CHANGING OUT A $400+ PART MIGHT NOT MAKE A DIFFERENCE, AND THE NOISE COULD RETURN AGAIN. *TR

NHTSA ODI 10701916

I WAS DRIVING, AND THE RADIO DASH BEGAN TO FLASH ON AND OFF. THEN THE STEERING BECAME VERY DIFFICULT, AND THE POWER STEERING LIGHT CAME ON, THE WORDS "SERVICE POWER STEERING" CAME ON, THEN THE CAR BEGAN TO PULSE, AND THEN "SERVICE TRACTION" CAME ON, THEN THE CAR SHUT OFF COMPLETELY. *TR

WHILE DRIVING TO WORK I WAS SIGNALING TO SWITCH LANES FOR MY EXIT OFF THE FREEWAY. BEGAN TO MERGE AND MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED. LUCKILY IT'S WASN'T FOR LONG AND THE FREEWAY WAS NOT BUSY. HOWEVER THE FACT THAT MY NEWLY PURCHASED VEHICLE HAS A GLITCH IS SADDENING. WHAT'S EVEN WORSE THEIRS NO MAINTENANCE LIGHT OR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, SOMETHING TO MAKE THE DEALERSHIP BELIEVE THEIR IS A PROBLEM. ONLY A FLASHING LIGHT THAT SAYS CHECK STABILITRACK, TRACTION CONTROL, POWERING STEERING AND AT THE SAME TIME MY ABS SERVICE LIGHT BEGINS TO FLASH. REALLY HOPE CHEVY PUTS OUT A RECALL.. *JS

WE WERE DRIVING ON RT 206 IN JERSEY AND THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND THE CAR WENT OFF THE ROAD. THE CAR WAS TOTALED. ABOUT A WEEK LATER I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM CHEVY STATING THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE THAT THE STEERING HAD INCREASED FRICTION AND CAN CAUSE THE STEERING TO LOCK UP. *TR

NHTSA ODI 10664031

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, I NOTICED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD INTERMITTENTLY "STICK" IN CENTER POSITION, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO MAKE THE MINOR ADJUSTMENTS NECESSARY TO DRIVE STRAIGHT ON A ROAD THAT IS NOT PERFECTLY FLAT. MY CAR HAS HAD THIS ISSUE INTERMITTENTLY THE ENTIRE TIME I HAVE OWNED IT, AND OCCURS IN VARYING DEGREES. I RECEIVED THE LETTER THAT CHEVROLET WAS DOING A SPECIAL COVERAGE WARRANTY EXTENSION FOR THE PROBLEM, YET MY DEALERSHIP CANNOT REPRODUCE THE ISSUE AND WILL NOT FIX IT. I FEEL THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE. A PART DEFECT IN THE STEERING SYSTEM LIKE THIS SHOULD BE FIXED WITH A RECALL, FIXING EVERY VEHICLE. BECAUSE IT'S ONLY A WARRANTY EXTENSION, THEY WILL SIMPLY NEVER REPRODUCE THE ISSUE AND IT WILL NEVER BE FIXED. THIS DOES NOT MAKE ME COMFORTABLE. *TR

NHTSA ODI 10663711

AT LOW SPEEDS, WHEN TURNING, THERE IS A GRINDING SENSATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND CAN BE FELT IN THE FLOORBOARD. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. IT ONLY OCCURS AFTER THE CAR HAS BEEN SITTING FOR OVER 15 MINUTE AND HAS A CHANCE TO COOL DOWN. *TR

ON A STRAIGHT AWAY THE VEHICLE WILL DRIFT AND WHEN YOU MAKE A CORRECTION THE STEERING WHEEL CATCHES OR STICKS. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED IN FEBRUARY 2014 IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE POWER STEERING GEAR WAS DEFECTIVE AND WAS REPLACED UNDER THE 36,000 MILE WARRANTY. IT HAS FAILED AGAIN ON 11-10-14 FOR THE SAME ISSUE AND PART AT 51,000 MILES AND IS CURRENTLY BEING REPLACED BY THE DEALERSHIP AT MY COST OF $1,348.00. ON A SNOW COVERED ROAD THIS VEHICLE WOULD BE UNCONTROLLABLE AND COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS CRASH. IT MAY ALSO MIMIC AN OVER CORRECTION DUE TO THE SUDDEN JERK OF THE FRONT WHEELS. IF THIS WOULD OR HAS OCCURRED TO OTHER OWNERS, NO ONE WOULD SUSPECT THE POWER STEERING GEAR BECAUSE IT WOULD BE DAMAGED IN THE CRASH. *TR

I BOUGHT THIS CAR FOR MY DAUGHTER, THE SECOND OR THIRD WEEK AFTER SHE GOT IT SHE STARTED TO NOTICE THE RADIO FLICKERING ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING FOR NO REASON, WHICH EVENTUALLY LED TO THE RADIO FLICKERING CONTINUOUSLY AFTER USING BLINKERS &WINDOWS. "SERVICE STABILITRAK" FLASHES ON THE DISPLAY OFTEN BUT VERY QUICKLY AND GOES OFF. DOESN'T OCCUR EVERY TIME I DRIVE, BUT IT DOES IT MORE TIMES THAN NOT. NOW THE RADIO WILL FLICKER AND I WILL OCCASIONALLY LOSE CRUISE CONTROL AND POWER STEERING. I ALSO HAVE NO BLINKERS/RADIO WHEN THIS HAPPENS. IT USUALLY ONLY HAPPENS BRIEFLY AND WILL RETURN TO NORMAL SOON AFTER, BUT IT CONTINUES TO DO IT OFF AND ON UNTIL I PARK. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THIS OCCURRING WHEN I SHIFT GEARS TO PARK. MOST RECENTLY I WENT TO START MY CAR AND IT JUST CLICKED AND WOULDN'T START. I GOT IT TO START AND IT SAID "SERVICE ANTI THEFT DETERRENT," THEN CHANGED TO "SERVICE POWER STEERING" JUST AS I LOST POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING. "SERVICE STABILITRAK QUICKLY FLASHED NEXT ALL WHILE I LOST BLINKERS, POWER STEERING, AND RADIO. I PARKED, TURNED MY CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT AND IT WAS JUST FINE. IT HAS BEEN TO THE CHEVY DEALER ONCE BUT THEY COULD NOT GET A CODE TO READ BECAUSE THEY CAN'T GET THE RADIO TO FLICKER, ETC BECAUSE IT ONLY HAPPENS EVERY SO OFTEN BUT WHEN IT DOES HAPPEN IT IS SCARY! SO THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO TO FIX IT. PLEASE LOOK INTO IT AS I DO NOT FEEL IT IS SAFE FOR HER TO DRIVE. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR 3 MONTHS NOW AND I DO NOT FEEL LIKE THIS CAR IS RELIABLE WHICH IS THE REASON I BOUGHT IT! THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING THAT CAN BE DONE AS I HAVE READ SEVERAL COMPLAINTS THAT ARE EXTREMELY SIMILAR TO MINE! I ALSO HAVE COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THE PROBLEMS ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO WORSEN AFTER READING THE OTHER COMPLAINTS.IT IS A MAJOR PROBLEM. PLEASE DON'T WAIT UNTIL SOMETHING TRAGIC HAPPENS BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE ABOUT THIS! PLEASE! *TR
