VISIBILITY/WIPER
WINDSHIELD FOGGED UP AND I COULD NOT SEE. DEFROSTER AND HEATING WINDSHIELD DID NOT CLEAR THE WINDOW SO I COULD SEE OUT, AND I HAD TO STOP BECAUSE I COULD NOT SEE OUT FORWARD AT ALL. DEALER CHECKED THE CONDITION AND OF COURSE, COULD NOT DUPLICATE! THERE IS A FIX ON THE CHEVROLET CRUZE FORUM BUT I DO NOT WANT TO ATTEMPT TO DO IT MYSELF! SOMETHING MUST BE DONE ABOUT THIS OR I WILL BE FORCED TO 'LEMON-LAW' THIS CAR AND I DO NOT WANT TO BE FORCED TO DO THAT! IT IS THAT DANGERIOUS AND I KNOW IT CAN BE CORRECTED IF THE PROPER TSB IS ISSUED DESCRIBING FIX AS LISTED BY A PERSON ON THE FORUM MENTIONED ABOVE.

SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING, AIR BAGS
AT 55MPH I FELT THAT I HAD PLENTY OF TIME TO STOP IN A HURRY. I APPLIED FIRM PRESSURE ON THE BREAKS AND THE BREAKS LOCKED UP. THE CAR BEGAN TO GO INTO A SKIDDING MOTION AND I HAD ABSOLUTELY NO CONTROL OVER THE STEERING WHEEL TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY, I COULD HAVE AVOIDED THIS COLLISION IF I TURNED TO THE RIGHT, BUT BECAUSE I HAD NO STEERING ABILITY I REAR-ENDED THEM FROM MY SKID. THE ABS BRAKING SYSTEM, IT IS SUPPOSE TO HELP ME BY PUMPING THE BRAKES FOR ME, BUT IT DIDN'T. I SUSTAINED A BROKEN LEG WHEN THE AIR BAG DEPLOYED AT MY LEG. ON OTHER OCCASIONS, I HAD ALSO EXPERIENCED THE LOSS OF POWER WHILE DRIVING..CAR WOULD HESITATE AND THEN POWER AND THOUGHT THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION. BROUGHT IT IN FOR THAT AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT

AIR BAGS, ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
DRIVING DOWN A ROAD ON THE FRIDAY MORNING. WHEN A DEER POPPED UP IN FRONT OF ME. I HIT THE DEER ON CRUISE CONTROL GOING 70 MPH; BUT WAS HARD BRAKING TO AVOID THE DEER. THE VEHICLE CLIPPED THE DEER ON THE FRONT LEFT SIDE OF THE CAR BY THE HOOD. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, MEANING IT WASN'T EVEN A BIG IMPACT. SO I PULLED OVER TO CALL AUTHORITIES WHEN THE CAR BEGAN TO SMOKE. SHORTLY AFTER, ESTIMATED TWO MINUTES, THE VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE. THE FIRE BEGIN ON THE FRONT LEFT SIDE OF WHERE THE BATTERY WAS LOCATED. IT COMPLETELY BURNED DOWN THE CAR. NOT SURE HOW HITTING A DEER, WOULD NOT SET OFF THE AIR BAGS AND ALSO START A FIRE. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT OUT WITH NO INJURIES.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED IN LIGHT RAIN RESULTED IN A "CARWASH EFFECT" ON MY WINDSHIELD. DROPS DID NOT RUN BUT SPLATTERED IN A MANNER WHICH COMPLETELY OBSCURED VISIBILITY OF THE ROAD. I WAS DRIVING BLIND, REGARDLESS OF WIPER SPEED, IN VERY LIGHT RAIN. IS THERE RESEARCH SHOWING WINDSHIELD ANGLE AS THE CAUSE OF SUCH A PROBLEM? THIS HAS OCCURRED A SECOND TIME IN LIGHT RAIN.
