What 864 owners told NHTSA about the 2012 Chevrolet Cruze Limited

THE RADIO ELECTRICAL PANEL WOULD TURN ON & OFF INTERMITTENTLY, THEN THE DRIVERS GAUGE PANEL WOULD FLICKER. AFTER THE GAUGE PANEL FLICKERED, THE POWER STEERING WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND THE POWER STEERING SHUT OFF. THEN THE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND THE TRACTION CONTROL STOPPED WORKING. THEN I WENT TO ROLL UP THE WINDOWS AND THE WHOLE DASH PANEL FLICKERED, THEN THE WINDOWS WOULD NOT ROLL UP. THERE APPEARS TO BE A SERIOUS ELECTRICAL PROBLEM IN THE VEHICLE SOMEWHERE. IT ACTS AS THOUGH THERE IS A SHORT IN THE WIRING HARNESS SOMEWHERE. I AM TAKING IT TO THE CHEVROLET DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTICS. *TR

DRIVER WAS TRAVELING APPROX. 15-20 MPH WHEN TRAFFIC STOPPED IN FRONT OF HER. DRIVER WAS AT A SAFE DISTANCE BEHIND THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF HER. HOWEVER, AFTER APPLYING THE BRAKES THE CAR DID NOT STOP AND HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF HER. THE DRIVER COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHY THE CRASH HAPPENED AS SHE APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THE CAR FELT LIKE IT WOULDN'T STOP. NOT ONLY DID THE VEHICLE NOT STOP BUT IT ALSO HAD EXTENSIVE FRONT END DAMAGE WITHOUT ANY AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. BOTH ISSUES ARE VERY CONCERNING TO THE DRIVER. THE VEHICLE HAS SINCE BEEN REPAIRED BUT STILL FEELS LIKE THE BRAKES ARE NOT FUNCTIONING LIKE THEY SHOULD. *TR

UPON BACKING DOWN DRIVEWAY, IT WAS EVIDENT THAT BRAKE BOOSTER PUMP PRESSURE WAS LOST. IT TOOK AN EXTRAORDINARY AMOUNT OF PHYSICAL EFFORT TO PUSH THE BRAKE PEDAL ADEQUATELY ENOUGH TO GET VEHICLE TO STOP. UPON SWITCHING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE, PEDAL PRESSURE IMMEDIATELY RETURNED TO NORMAL. WE HAVE NOT BEEN NOTIFIED THAT OUR 2012 CHEVROLET CRUZE ECO IS INCLUDED IN RECENT BRAKE RECALL. *TR

TO BEGIN WITH,I HAVE HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH MY 2012 CHEVY CRUZE AND HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE RUNAROUND. MY FIRST CONCERN IS THAT I BOUGHT MY 2012 CHEVY CRUZE ON 09/18/2012 AND WAS NOTIFIED DAYS LATER OF A MAJOR SAFETY RECALL ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF ENGINE FIRES FROM FLUID SPILLS. I FIND OUT THAT THIS RECALL WAS ANNOUNCED ON 06/22/12.(NHTSA CAMPAIGN #:12V288000) WHY WAS I SOLD A VEHICLE THAT WAS UNDER RECALL FOR 3 MONTHS? AND WAS NEVER EVEN MENTIONED PRIOR OR POST SALE. ONSTAR HAD TO NOTIFY ME AND THEN I HAD TO GET IT FIXED. MY SECOND CONCERN IS THAT THERE IS AN COOLANT SMELL IN THE CAB OF THE VEHICLE AND ALTHOUGH NOT ALWAYS NOTICEABLE, IT IS MORE NOTICEABLE IN COLDER WEATHER. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER AND THEY PLAYED STUPID AND SAID THEY DON'T SMELL ANYTHING AND THAT THE SMELL COULD BE A "DIRTY CABIN AIR-FILTER"? NOBODY WANTS TO SMELL COOLANT WHEN DRIVING!! MY THIRD CONCERN IS THAT WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A DEAD STOP OR ACCELERATING AFTER LETTING OFF THE GAS FOR A SECOND THE VEHICLE ALMOST ALWAYS SHIFTS ROUGHLY. TOOK TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT ITS PROBABLY JUST THE "TURBO KICKING IN". MY FOURTH CONCERN IS ABOUT THE RECALL (NHTSA CAMPAIGN #:12V288000) MY VEHICLE(WHERE THE ENGINE SHIELD WAS) IS ALREADY RUSTING AND IS A VERY BIG CONCERN WITH THE FUTURE OF MY VEHICLE(EVEN AFTER WARRANTY PERIOD) RUST NEVER GOES WELL WITH A VEHICLE! I'M CONCERNED THAT PARTS WILL WEAR PREMATURELY BECAUSE OF THIS! NOT TO MENTION THAT I AM GETTING LESS MPG SINCE THE SHIELDS BEEN REMOVED. NOW TODAY I GET ANOTHER MAJOR SAFETY RECALL ABOUT MY BRAKES.(NHTSA CAMPAIGN #:13V360000) WHICH WOULD EXPLAIN WHY MY BRAKES SOMETIMES REQUIRE ME TO PRESS THEM REALLY HARD ALL THE WAY DOWN TO STOP IT. IT CURRENTLY SITS AT AROUND 26,000 MILES, I AM THUS FAR VERY DISSATISFIED WITH THE VEHICLE. I DON'T KNOW MY OPTIONS BUT KNOW THAT IF THINGS DON'T START LOOKING BETTER, I WILL NEVER BUY CHEVY OR RECOMMEND CHEVY AGAIN. *TR

WINDSHIELD SCRATCHES SUPER EASY MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO SEE PROPERLY IN SUNNY CONDITIONS. I HAVE PERFECT VISION AND HAVE A VERY HARD TIME SEEING PAST THE SCRATCHES THE MICROFIBER CLOTH LEFT ON THE INSIDE FROM CLEANING AND MY PLASTIC WINTER ICE SCRAPER MADE ON THE OUTSIDE IN THE WINTER. NEVER HAD A CAR IN MY 20+ YEARS OF DRIVING WITH SUCH A CRAPPY WINDSHIELD. *TR

WHILE PULLING INTO PARKING SPACE CRAWLING INTO POSITION THE BRAKES FAILED AND THE CAR VIBRATED AND LUNGED FORWARD CRASHING INTO A BRICK WALL. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR THE CAR THEN BEGAN TO VIBRATE THEN ACCELERATE FORWARD HITTING BRICK WALL. I BELIEVE THAT THE TURBO CHARGE ENGAGED BECAUSE OF THE VACUUM BOOST FAILED CAUSING THE TURBO TO ENGAGE. FILED COMPLAINT WITH GM NO LUCK SAID IT WAS DRIVER ERROR. NEEDLESS TO SAY WE ARE REPAIRING THE CAR THEN TRADING IN. I HAVE CONTACTED LOCAL MEDIA CAN'T SEEM TO GET ANY HELP. WE HAVE BEEN LOYAL CHEVY OWNERS FOR OVER 20YEARS NEVER AGAIN. I THINK THE PUBLIC NEEDS TO BE WARNED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. IF SOMEONE WAS WALKING ACROSS THE FRONT OF THE CAR THEY WOULD HAVE DIED. *TR

SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER STEERING WITH "POWER STEERING SERVICE" ERROR ON DISPLAY. WHEN THIS HAPPENED, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME VERY HARD TO STEER (ALMOST LOCKED UP) AND I CERTAINLY COULD NOT MAKE A RIGHT OR LEFT TURN. THIS SEMI-LOCKING UP OF THE POWER STEERING REMAINED AS LONG AS THE VEHICLE WAS STILL MOVING. INDEED, THE ONLY WAY TO RESTORE POWER STEERING WAS TO STOP THE CAR AND LET THE ENGINE COOLED FOR 20 MINUTES OR MORE. THIS HAPPENED THE FIRST TIME TO MY CAR IN JUNE OR JULY TIME FRAME. CHEVROLET REPROGRAMMED THE STEERING MODULE. BUT THE POWER STEERING LOCKUP WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED (~50MPH) HAPPENED AGAIN IN AUGUST. CHEVROLET REPLACED THE RACK AND PINION STEERING. AND THE LOCKING UP OF THE POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEED (~50MPH) STILL HAPPENED AGAIN ON 09/10/2013. THIS TIME, CHEVROLET CHANGED THE "D POWER STEERING MODULE POWER & GROUND HARDNESS". SO, CHEVROLET HAS ATTEMPTED TO FIX THE PROBLEM UNSUCCESSFULLY TWICE BEFORE THIS THIRD WARRANTY REPAIR. I HOPE THIS FIX IT. BUT I FEEL I NEED TO REPORT THIS TO THE NHTSA SINCE I ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT (SUDDEN AND SUSTAINING LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE STEERING) EVERY TIME THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED. *TR

ON OR ABOUT JUNE 13, 2013, I WAS PARKING MY CAR IN MY SPACE AT THE APARTMENT COMPLEX I LIVE IN. I PUSHED ON THE BRAKES AND THE CAR WENT UP AND OVER THE GRASS AND INTO THE SUPPORT STRUCTURE THAT HOLDS UP THE AWNING AT OUR CLUBHOUSE. THE MILEAGE LISTED IS APPROXIMATE, AS I CURRENTLY DON'T HAVE THE PAPERWORK FROM HOWE COLLISION AT HAND. I HAVE A $500.00 DEDUCTIBLE WITH MY INSURER, AAA MICHIGAN. THERE WAS NO POLICE REPORT TAKEN. THE DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BY HOWE COLLISION IN PLYMOUTH. I PICKED UP MY CAR ON JUNE 24, 2013. THE CAR HAS A 1.8L ECOTEC WITH DOHC 4-CYLINDER ENGINE. IT ALSO HAS A 6-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. IT HAS STABILITRAK-STABILITY CONTROL, WITH TRACTION CONTROL. THE BRAKES ARE 4-WHEEL ANTI-LOCK, FRONT DISKS, REAR DRUMS. MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED IN LORDSTOWN, OHIO. I READ AN ARTICLE IN THE JACKSON CITIZEN REGARDING A DEFECT IN THE BRAKE ASSIST FUNCTION THAT HAD BEEN LINKED TO 27 ACCIDENTS. GM ANNOUNCED THE FRIDAY BEFORE THAT IT WAS AWARE OF THE 27 CRASHES, BUT STATED THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE CARS INVOLVED ARE 2011-2012 1.4L ENGINES THAT WERE BUILT IN LORDSTOWN. GM SAID FOR OWNERS TO TAKE THEIR CAR TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED, (MINE IS A LEASE), FOR REPAIR OF THE BROKEN PART. MY DEALER, [XXX] IN PLYMOUTH SAID THEY DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT. MY NIECE, WHOSE EMAIL I AM USING, CALLED AND SPOKE TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID THEY HAD NO OFFICIAL NOTICE FROM GM AND THAT NOT ALL 2011 AND 2012 CRUZE'S WERE INVOLVED IN THE RECALL. HE ALSO TOLD HER THAT I WOULD GET A NOTIFICATION IN THE MAIL, WHICH TO DATE, I HAVE NOT GOTTEN. IF YOU NEED ANY OTHER INFORMATION YOU CAN CALL ME AT THE NUMBER LISTED OR EMAIL MY NIECE, [XXX], AT THE EMAIL LISTED BELOW. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

I BACKED OUT OF A PARKING SPACE, APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THE PEDAL WAS EXTREMELY FIRM WITH NO BRAKES AT ALL, THEN I PUMPED THE BRAKES, PEDAL SLOWLY GOES TO THE FLOOR, ANOTHER PUMP AND BRAKING IS WORKING AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES, BUT NOW HAPPENING WITH MORE FREQUENCY. IT ALSO HAS HAPPENED ON MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE BACKING OUT OF GARAGE ONTO A FLAT SURFACE. BRAKES CORRECT THEMSELVES AFTER INCIDENT. I PICKED UP MY GRAND-DAUGHTERS FROM DAY CARE, AND WAS EXITING THE PARKING LOT ON AN INCLINE DRIVEWAY AND WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES, I HAD TO PUSH WITH ALL MY STRENGTH TO GET THE CAR TO STOP. BRAKES PEDAL WAS EXTREMELY FIRM. I ALMOST HIT A PEDESTRIAN ON THE SIDEWALK. APPOINTMENT WITH MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP TOMORROW TO EXAMINE CAR. I CANNOT IDENTIFY EXACT SITUATION WHEN THIS ISSUE OCCURS.

THIS STARTED THIS WEEK, THE ELECTRICAL PARTS (RADIO, SPEAKERS, TURNING SIGNAL CLICKER, AC ETC) WILL CONSTANTLY FLICKER OFF THEN COME BACK ON AFTER ABOUT TEN SECONDS, EVERY TIME I HAVE THE CAR RUNNING. THE STABILITY WARNING WILL SOMETIMES GO ON BUT WILL EVENTUALLY GO OUT. THE SPECIFIC INCIDENT OCCURRED THE THE 27TH OF AUGUST WHEN I WENT TO TAKE A LEFT TURN, ON TO A HIGHWAY. WHEN I WENT TO MAKE A TURN MY POWER STEERING LOCKED UP AND ALMOST CAUSED ME TO HIT A PASSING CAR AND GET REAR ENDED. IT SPECIFICALLY LOCKED UP AT ABOUT TEN MILES AN HOUR WHILE PICKING UP SPEED. AFTER I RETURNED TO MY PARKING LOT IT LOCKED UP AGAIN AND CAUSED ME TO HIT A BARRIER, SLIGHTLY DAMAGING THE FRONT BUMPER. SINCE THEN MY POWER STEERING WILL SOMETIMES LOCK UP MAKING IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO TURN. *TT
