STRUCTURE, AIR BAGS
I NOTICED A CRACK IN MY DASHBOARD ABOUT 5 MONTHS AGO. THIS CRACK IS DIRECTLY BESIDE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AND IS ABOUT 1-2 INCHES LONG. THE OPPOSITE END OF THE CRACK (NOT CONNECTED TO THE AIRBAG) HAS SPLINTERED OFF INTO MORE THAN JUST ONE CRACK. MY CONCERN IS IF THE AIR BAG IS DEPLOYED, WILL THIS CAUSE SHATTERING AND DEBRIS TO FLY INTO THE FACE OF MY PASSENGERS AND MYSELF? *TR

STRUCTURE
I WAS TURNING ONTO THE STREET WHERE MY RESIDENCE IS LOCATED, MAKING A RIGHT TURN (PASSENGER SIDE), AND I HEARD A VERY LOUD "POP" ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE INTERIOR. UPON PULLING INTO MY DRIVEWAY, I ACTIVATED THE INTERIOR LIGHTS OF THE VEHICLE FOR FURTHER INSPECTION. I DISCOVERED MY DASH CRACKED FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG DOWN INTO THE FRONT DEFOGGER VENT. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND IT SEEMS THAT IT IS QUITE WIDESPREAD. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WAS DRIVING IN THE BUSINESS DISTRICT WHEN PUMP FAILED. ENGINE SHUT DOWN WHICH ALSO SHUT DOWN POWER BRAKES AND STEERING. GAS GUAGE SHOWED EMPTY ALTHOUGH TANK WAS HALF FULL. HAD TO HAVE THE UNIT TOWED INTO DEALERSHIP WHERE PUMP WAS REPLACED AT A COST OF $1203.84. THIS WAS THE SECOND FAILURE OF THE GAS TANK PUMP. FIRST REPLACEMENT WAS I BELIEVE IN THE FALL OF 2005 SHORTLY AFTER THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED AT A COST OF SLIGHTLY LESS THAN $1000.00. MILEAGE WOULD HAVE BEEN BETWEEN 35 & 40,000. DON"T HAVE THE TICKET FOR THIS BUT I BELIEVE I CAN GET IT. HAVE TALKED WITH OTHERS WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. IF YOU HAVE PICKUP CAN BE CHANGED CHEAPER AS THEY REMOVE THE PICKUP BOX. IN BOTH INSTANCES I WAS TRAVELING AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED SO THE LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES WAS NOT CATISTROPHIC. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
WHEN VEHICLE WAS IN FOR SERVICE A STAINLESS STEEL BRAKE LINE FAILED RESULTING IN A LOSS OF FLUID AND BRAKES. I WAS TOLD ALL THE LINES, WHERE THEY CONTACTED THE FRAME, HAD CORRODED. THESE LINES SHOULD NOT FAIL DUE TO AGE OF VEHICLE. ALSO DEALER REPORTED THAT THEY ARE SEEING THIS QUITE A BIT IN CHEVY TRUCKS. THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC IF IT HAPPENED ON THE OPEN ROAD. ONLY BY CHANCE DID IT OCCUR WHEN VEHICLE WAS IN FOR OTHER SERVICE. A GM AGENT IS SUPPOSED TO BE INSPECTING THE VEHICLE ON APRIL 7, 20014. *TR

SUSPENSION
OK- JUST TO LET U KNOW WE NO LONGER HAVE THIS VEHICLE. I WAS TO SCARED THAT MY FAMILY WOULD GET SERIOUSLY INJURED IN THIS VEHICLE. THE STABILITY TRACK WOULD CAUSE THIS VEHICLE TO DECREASE ENGINE SPEED. I WOULD HAVE TO PULL OVER ON A HIGHWAY, SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESET UNTIL I COULD BRING IT TO THE DEALER. AFTER SEVEN TIMES AT DEALERSHIP AFTER SEVERAL YEARS, I COULD NOT TRUST IT. IT WAS NOT VERY DEPENDABLE. PLEASE NOW THAT THE LIGHT HAS BEEN BROUGHT ON REGARDING GM AND THE CRUZE VEHICLE, PLEASE RECALL THIS YEAR MODEL. SO SCARED SOMEONE WILL BE SERIOUSLY INJURED. I HAVE ALL RECORDS ON THIS VEHICLE. ( SOLD IT AND MOVED ONTO A HONDA PILOT) NEVER EVER WOULD I RECOMMEND THIS YEAR VEHICLE TO ANYONE. PLEASE TAKE MY INFORMATION SERIOUSLY. THANK YOU. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
BRAKE LINE RUPTURE CAUSING COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE. I WAS SWITCHING THE CARS AROUND IN MY SINGLE WIDE DRIVE WAY WHEN THE BRAKES FAILED ON MY VEHICLE. PULLING THE VEHICLE BACK INTO THE DRIVEWAY FROM BEING STOPPED ON THE ROAD SO I BARELY ACCELERATED AND FORTUNATELY HAD VERY LITTLE SPEED WHEN THE BRAKES FAILED, THE PEDAL GOING ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, WHILE FAILING TO SLOW/STOP THE VEHICLE. I WAS ABLE TO STOP BY PUTTING THE TRANSMISSION IN PARK, NO HARM DONE THOUGH NOT A GENTLE STOP. IDENTIFYING THE PROBLEM WAS NOT DIFFICULT AS THE BRAKE LINE HISSED LOUDLY WHERE IT RUPTURED WHEN PRESSURE WAS APPLIED TO THE BRAKE PEDAL. A GREAT DEAL OF CORROSION WAS PRESENT ON ALL OF THE LINES AS WELL AS THE FUEL LINES. *TR

STEERING
I WAS BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE AND ALL OF A SUDDEN AN ALARM I HAD NEVER HEARD BEFORE STARTED GOING OFF IN MY CAR AND I COULDN'T MOVE MY STEERING WHEEL CAUSING ME TO HIT A HANDICAPPED PARKING SIGN/POLE IN THE PARKING SPACE NEXT TO THE ONE I WAS TRYING TO BACK OUT OF. I COULDN'T GET MY WHEEL TO TURN TO GET IT OFF THE SIGN AND I THOUGHT FOR SURE THE WHOLE LEFT SIDE OF MY FENDER WOULD BE DEMOLISHED. WHEN I EXITED MY VEHICLE, IT ONLY TORE THE PAINT OFF THE FENDER AND A SMALL DENT, IT IS BARELY NOTICEABLE, BUT I WAS HARDLY GOING ANY SPEED AT ALL SINCE I WAS BACKING OUT. IT COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
APPROX. 6 MONTHS AGO I WAS DRIVING WHEN A VEHICLE ENTERED THE INTERSECTION IN FRONT OF ME. I STEPPED ON THE BRAKES AND THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO CRASH BUT MY VEHICLE JUST BARELY CAME TO A STOP. TOWED THE VEHICLE TO A DEALERSHIP AND FOUND ALL THE BRAKE LINES WERE RUSTED OUT AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. ON 3/28/14 I BEGAN NOTICING STRONG GAS FUMES COMING FROM MY VEHICLE. I AGAIN TOOK IT IT IN AND FOUND THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY, ALL THE FUEL HOSES, AND THE STRAPS AND BOLTS THAT HOLD THE FUEL TANK WERE RUSTED OUT. I READ THAT NHTSA WAS DOING A STUDY OF THIS ISSUE. I UNDERSTAND MY VEHICLE IS 10 YEARS OLD AND I LIVE IN THE NORTHEAST BUT I OBSERVED A LOT OF RUST UNDER MY VEHICLE. I AM A POLICE OFFICER AND A CRASH RECONSTRUCTIONIST AND THESE RUST ISSUES COULD CAUSE SERIOUS ISSUES WITH VEHICLES RESULTING IN CRASHES. I FEEL THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED BECAUSE IT EFFECTS CRUCIAL SYSTEMS LIKE THE BRAKES AND FUEL SYSTEMS. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME FOR FURTHER INFORMATION. *TR
