CALLED CARMAX AND THOUGH THE WARRANTY WAS WAS OVER THEY AGREED TO REPAIT BECAUSE OF A BRAKE RECALL. THEN A COUPLE WEEKS LATER THERE WAS A LEAK AND FORD HAD TO REPLACE A COOLANT PUMP. THE CAR NEVER RAN THE SAME. THE CAR PUTTERS AND HAS HORRIBLE ACCELERATION AND I HAVE CONTACTED FORD AND CARMAX DEALERSHIP AND COORP FOR HELP AT THE SAME TIME ALL THE CRUZES WERE TAKEN OFF THE LOTS AND WERE NO LONGER ALLOWED TO BE SOLD BECAUSE OF ALL THE RECALLS AND THEY WERE DEEMED UNSAFE TO DRIVE. ALL I ASKED CARMAX FOR WAS TO TAKE THIS VEHICLE BACK AND LET ME PICK OUT A DIFFERENT CAR. I AM A SINGLE MOM WITH A TEENAGE DAUGHTER AN I AM AFRAID TO LET HER DRIVE THIS CAR, THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL DEATHS ATTRIBUTED TO THE CHEVY CRUZES. I HAVE LEFT SEVERAL VOICEMAILS WITH GM MY CASE # IS C7269752 WITH FIRST RESPONDER..WHAT DOES THAT MEAN ANYWAY? THE GM AT CARMAX IN TINLEY PARK ARGUED WITH ME FOR 15 MINUTES ABOUT WHO IF I SPOKE TO HIM ONCE OR TWICE INSTEAD OF DEALING WITH THE REAL ISSUE, THE SOLD ME, A SINGLE MOTHER A CAR WITH BAD BRAKES! I ALMOST WENT INTO DOWN INTO A 6 LANE EXPRESSWAY WHEN THE BRAKES DIDNT WORK! I WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. ITS BEEN A COUPLE MONTHS NOW AND NO ONE HAS FOLLOWED UP AT ALL. THE SNOW WILL SOON BEGIN AND I AM SCARED TO DEATH TO DRIVE. PLEASE CAN SOME ONE HELP. *TR

MY PROBLEMS STARTED WITH MY TRUNK POPPING OPEN ON ITS OWN WHILE DRIVING AND WHILE PARKED. THIS IS CONCERNING NOT ONLY TO MY LOSS OF FOCUS ON THE ROAD BECAUSE OF THIS, I ALSO WORRY ABOUT WHO EVER IS DRIVING BEHIND ME SHOULD SOMETHING FLY OUT OF MY TRUNK. ALSO MY WINDSHIELD WIPER BLADE ON THE DRIVER SIDE COMES OFF THE MOTOR CLIP THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHILE RAINING I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH OUT VISIBILITY. MY CAR THEN DECIDED NOT TO START AND WHEN I FINALLY GOT IT TO START IT TOLD MY AIRBAGS NEEDED SERVICING, MY POWER STEERING, ABS BRAKES, TRACTION CONTROL, AND STABILITRACK. THERE WAS NO CONTROL OF THE CAR. THAT HAD WENT AWAY AND WAS ABLE TO GET CAR SAFELY TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET IT SERVICED TODAY. THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH OTHER 2012 CHEVY CRUZE'S IN WHICH I HAVE DONE RESEARCH. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THESE ELECTRICAL ISSUES BEFORE SOMEONE ENDS UP GETTING KILLED. *TR

DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 10 WHEN ELECTRICAL LIGHTING, RADIO, ETC START BLINKING ON AND OFF. I WAS ON MY WAY FROM FLORIDA TO NORTH CAROLINA WHEN IT HAPPENED, I TURNED AROUND AND WENT TO CHEVROLET DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT IT, WAS CHECKED OUT AND MECHANIC SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. DROVE TO NORTH CAROLINA AND WHEN I ARRIVED AT MY SON'S HOME THE SAME THING HAPPENED TWICE. WE TOOK IT TO CHEVROLET DEALER IN MOORESVILLE,NC, THEY FOUND OUT THROUGH GM IT WAS THE ELECTRICAL BOX CAUSING ALL THE PROBLEMS AND THEY REPLACED IT WITH A NEW ONE. I WASN'T IN AN ACCIDENT BUT IT MADE ME SCARED TO DRIVE IT. I FEEL AS THOUGH GM SHOULD HAVE RECALLED IT AND NOT MAKE THE CONSUMER WONDERING. I WOULD LIKE GM TO BE NOTIFIED ABOUT THIS AND TO ALSO HEAR FROM THEM. *TR

I HAVE A VERY STRONG COOLANT SMELL INSIDE THE CAR WHEN HEAT IS ON AND A STRONG COOLANT SMELL OUTSIDE OF THE CAR. I BROUGHT IT IN TO MY DEALERSHIP AND THEY DETERMINED THE WATER PUMP WAS LEAKING AND THEY REPLACED IT. I'VE HAD MY CAR BACK FOR A WEEK NOW AND AGAIN I HAVE THE STRONG COOLANT SMELL INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF MY CAR. THE SMELL IS ACTUALLY MAKING ME NAUSEOUS. I HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED ISSUES WITH MY DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW NOT GOING DOWN. I'VE HAD THE DEALERSHIP LOOK AT IT AND THEY CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. MY FINAL ISSUE I'VE BEEN EXPERIENCING IS MY VEHICLE DOES NOT SHIFT RIGHT. I HAVE AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION AND SOMETIMES IT SHIFTS VERY HARD OUT OF FIRST AND INTO TO SECOND GEAR, THE CAR FEELS LIKE IT'S JERKING. OTHER TIMES MY CAR HESITATES WHILE SHIFTING GEARS. I HAVE NOT BROUGHT IT IN FOR THAT ISSUE YET BUT I WILL BE BRINGING IT IN THIS WEEK. *TR

THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY 2012 CHEVY CRUZE. I GOT A RECALL NOTICE BUT NEVER DID RECEIVE NOTICE THAT THE PARTS WERE IN. HOWEVER I HAD AT THE DEALER HAVING AN OIL CHANGE. I TOLD HIM ABOUT IT. IT WAS FOR THE BRAKE MICRO SWITCH. HE SAID THEY WOULD REPLACE THEY HAD THE PART. THIS WAS ON 11/14/13. I HAD AN ACCIDENT TODAY 10/15/14. I TURNED INTO A PARKING PLACE. I APPLIED THE BRAKE BUT IT DIDN'T WORK. CAR JUMPED THE CURB AND ENDED UP ON TOP OF A LIGHT MAKER AT THE LIBRARY WHERE I WAS PARKING. IT WAS ACCELERATING INSTEAD OF BRAKING. I APPLIED THE BRAKE BUT NO BRAKING ONLY ACCELERATION. I WANT TO FILE THIS COMPLAINANT.

MY TRUNK OPENED AT RANDOM WHEN I WAS HEADED TO WORK. THIS OCCURRED MANY TIMES WHEN I WAS DRIVING AND AS WELL AS WHEN THE CAR WAS PARKED AND LOCKED. IT COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT DUE TO A DISTRACTION AND HAVING TO PULL OVER, ITEMS FALLING OUT IN FRONT OF VEHICLE FOLLOWING, AND ALSO COULD HAVE HAD ITEMS STOLEN. SINCE THE MIDDLE OF SUMMER, IT HAS STOPPED THAT ISSUE BUT, THE TRUNK WILL NOT OPEN WITH THE BUTTON ON THE REAR OF THE TRUNK. THE ONLY WAY IT OPEN IS WITH THE KEY FOB. THIS IS VERY INCONVENIENT AND HAS HAPPENED TO MANY OTHERS. I HAVE STOPPED AT A FEW CHEVROLET DEALERS ASKING FOR THEM TO FIX THIS BEFORE MY WARRANTY EXPIRED BUT THEY WOULD NOT COVER IT. *TR

GM HAS A DEFECTIVE DRIVERS SIDE WINDSHIELD WIPER SYSTEM THAT FAILED/STOPPED WORKING WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IN THE POURING RAIN. THIS SITUATION CAN AND WILL KILL SOMEBODY. THANKFULLY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND HAD TOOLS TO REMOVE THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDSHIELD WIPER AND PLASTIC WIPER MOTOR COVER TO RE-ATTACH THE WINDSHIELD WIPER LINKAGE. OTHERWISE I WOULD HAVE HAD TO CALL ROADSIDE ASST. BELOW THE PLASTIC WINDSHIELD WIPER COVER, THERE IS THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR AND LINKAGE. THERE IS A 6 INCH ARM THAT COMES OFF THE WIPER MOTOR WITH AN UPSIDE DOWN BOWL. THE HALF BOWL ATTACHES TO A 3 INCH ARM WITH A HALF A BALL AT THE END OF IT THAT FACES UPWARDS. THE HALF BALL THEN IS ATTACHED BELOW THE BOLT/NUT THAT HOLDS YOUR WINDSHIELD WIPER ON THE CAR. GM SAYS IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. SO DOES CHEVY DEALERSHIP. CUP AND BALL ATTACHMENT SYSTEM IN THE WIPER MOTOR LINKAGE WITH NO CLIP TO STOP IT FROM POPPING OFF.

2012 CHEVY CRUZE WITH LESS THAN 25,000 MILES ON IT. WHILE DRIVING, THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WILL COME ON THE DIC AND THEN SERVICE STABILITRACK AND THE CAR WOULD DIE DOWN FOR A BRIEF SECOND AND THE RADIO WILL CUT OFF. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO A DEALER AND THEY SAID TO DRIVE WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL OFF UNTIL IT GETS IN. NOW IT IS DOING THE SAME THING WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL OFF. IT IS ALSO DOING THIS IN REVERSE! THIS CAR IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY WITH GM, BUT I'M AFRAID THAT I WILL HAVE THE SAME LUCK AS OTHERS ON HERE WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS AND NOTHING WILL GET FIXED. I'M ALSO AFRAID THAT THIS WILL OCCUR AT AN EVEN GREATER RATE AND LONGER WHILE DRIVING CAUSING AN ACCIDENT! SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM IN THIS MODEL! *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
