AIR BAGS
VEHICLE WAS TRAVELLING AT 50 MPH WHEN I DROVE INTO A DRAINAGE DITCH AND FLEW ROUGHLY 20 FEET, CAUSING THE SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS TO INFLATE ON IMPACT AFTER LANDING. HOWEVER THE STEERING WHEEL AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY IN THE FIRST IMPACT INVOLVING A CULVERT IN THE DRAINAGE DITCH.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE PARALLEL PARKING ON A CITY STREET, BRAKES BECAME UNRESPONSIVE AND I ALMOST HIT ANOTHER CAR. I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE BRAKE BOOSTER PUMP REPLACED TWICE IN TWO YEARS AND NOW IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN BUT DEALER WON'T ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND BECAUSE IT IS NOT INVOLVED IN A RECALL, WHY I DO NOT KNOW, I MUST PAY OUT OF POCKET. 3 BOOSTER PUMPS IN 2 YEARS BUT NO RECALL???

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I HAD MY SPARK PLUGS CHANGED THE DAY BEFORE ON THE 7/06/2018 AS I WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY TO TAKE MY GRANDDAUGHTER TO CENTRAL STATE UNIVERSITY MY CAR STARTED TO SOUND LIKE A BIRD WHEN I PRESS ON THE ACCELERATOR IT STARTED TO SINGING. SO I MADE IT BACK HOME, BUT SOUND IT HAD PICKED UP, SO I CALLED BACK TO MACHANIC AND THEY TOLD ME TO BRING IT BACK IN AND THEY CHECKED AND SAID IT WAS MY WATER PUMP I BELIEVE. BECAUSE OF WHERE IT WAS DRIPPING. THEY TOLD ME WHAT IT WILL COST TO GET IT FIXED, THEY TOLD ME TO KEEP SOME WATER IN AS WELL ANTIFREEZE. SO THAT WHAT I DID, BUT I DON'T HAVE MONEY TO GET IT FIXED RIGHT NOW. THE FIRST PICTURE IS WHAT THEY FIXED WHERE IT SHOWS THE SOLID BLACK CAP, THEY REPLACED A GASKET BUT I DON'T KNOW IF THEU SILLED RIGHT TO KEEP IT LEAKING OR SOMETHING BEHIND WHERE YOU PUT MOTOR OIL IN. THE PICTURE SHOWS WHERE IT IS DRIPPING DOWN.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL:CRANKCASE (PCV)
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET CRUZE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE SPEED DRASTICALLY REDUCED TO LESS THAN 40 MPH WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER (MIKE ANDERSON CHEVROLET, 119 E MAIN ST, GAS CITY, IN 46933, (765) 327-7326) SCHEDULED A DIAGNOSTIC APPOINTMENT AND REPLACED THE PCV VALVE UNDER A WARRANTY; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO SOUTHWORTH FORD (1430 N BALDWIN AVE, MARION, IN 46952, (765) 662-2561) WHERE DIAGNOSTIC TESTING FOUND THE SAME FAILURE CODES AS THE PREVIOUS REPAIRS AND THAT THE PCV VALVE FAILED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND SUGGESTED TAKING THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 54,000.

TIRE MONITOR SYSTEM, I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THIS SYSTEM EVER SINCE I PURCHASED MY CAR. EVERY ATTEMPT TO FIX IT HAS BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL. WHEN THE DEALERSHIP RESETS IT, IT GOES WONKY AND DISPLAYS INCORRECT INFO ABOUT TIRE PRESSURE AND LOCATION OF TIRE WITH THAT PRESSURE. IT RECENTLY SHOWED THAT ONE OF MY TIRES HAD A NO DISPLAY READING AND A "SERVICE TIRE MONITOR SYSTEM" ALERT. AND WHEN I TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICING, THEY TOLD ME ITS NOT COVERED BY ANY WARRENTY (WHICH I HAVE THE EXTENDED WARRENTY). THIS SEEMS TO ME TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE AS IT IS APPARENTLY IMPORTANT TO THE SYSTEM TO DISPLAY IT ON MY SERVICING SCREEN (AND AFFECTS MY GAS MILEAGE THAT AFFECTS MY EMISSIONS)! SO WHY ISN'T IT COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURES WARRENTY? WHY HAVE IT THERE AT ALL THEN!?PERHAPS IT IS A JOB SECURITY THING JUST TO BRING IN REVENUE. ITS B***S*** I THINK!!!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM NOT WORKING. THE STEREO SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. IT WILL TURN ON OR OFF ON WITHOUT INPUT FROM A HUMAN. NOT HAVING A STEREO IS NOT A PROBLEM, BUT THE TURN SIGNALS AND HAZARD LIGHT CLICKING ARE NOT PRESENT WHEN THE RADIO IS NOT OPERATING. NOT HAVING AUDIO OF THE TURN SIGNALS REQUIRES THE DRIVER TO TAKE THEIR EYES OFF THE ROAD TO OBSERVE WHETHER EITHER TURN SIGNAL ARE OPERATING. THIS DRIVER HAS RIDDEN AROUND WITH A TURN SIGNAL FOR SOME LENGTHS OF TIME, POSSIBLY CONFUSING OTHER DRIVERS. THE RADIO AND VEHICLE DINGS AND CLICKS SHOULD BE INDEPENDENT FOR SAFETY ALERTS.

POWER TRAIN
WHILE TRYING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC MY VEHICLE ENGINE SPEEDS UP TO 7000 RPM BUT THE CAR ONLY GETS UP TO ABOUT 28 MPH. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN REAR ENDED BECAUSE OF THIS. ALSO I TRIED TO PASS OTHER CARS AT FIRST THE CAR SEEMED AS IT HAD THE POWER TO PASS BUT AS I GOT AT THE SIDE OF THE CAR I WAS PASSING WITH PEDAL ON FLOOR THE TRANSMISSION SEEMED TO LOSE POWER AND DOG DOWN. ALMOST CAUSING ME A HEAD ON COLLISION . ON THE HIGHWAY MY CAR DOESN'T SEEM TO HAVE THE POWER TO PASS CARS UNLESS GOING DOWN HILL. THE CARS ENGINE SPEEDS UP BUT THE TRANSMISSION DO NOT SPEED UP SO IT JUST BURNS MORE GAS. THAT I CAN NOT AFFORD ON DISABILITY.ON JUNE 8 2018 I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO WEIMER CHEVROLET IN MOOREFIELD, WV, THEY TOLD ME EVERYTHING WAS FINE GAVE ME A COPY OF THE VEHICLE INSPECTION THEY DONE. OTHER CRUZE OWNERS SAID THEY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM I TOLD THEM TO CALL GM THEMSELVES TO LET THEM KNOW OF THIS PROBLEM. I SPOKE TO A MIGUEL AT GM AT CUSTOMER SERVICE, HE TOLD ME THAT A MANAGER WOULD BE IN TOUCH WITH ME .ON JUNE 26 2018, A GM MANAGER CALLED MY CELL PHONE AND ASKED FOR MY ADDRESS , AND A BRIEF EXPLANATION OF THE CARS ISSUES E-MAIL ADDRESS AND THE DEALER INFO. I THEN ON JUNE 28 I GOT A EMAIL FROM A COURTNEY AT GM STATING THAT THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO CONTACT ME. EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE MY HOME / CELL NUMBERS. AND THAT IF THIS MATTER IS RESOLVED DO NOTHING BUT IF NOT TO CALL THEM, I TRIED TO AND GOT NO ANSWER SO ALSO SENT A REPLY TO THEIR E-MAIL, STATING THAT THIS MATTER HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED AND HOW DANGEROUS THESE CARS ARE. ONCE AGAIN NO RESPONSE FROM GM AS OF JULY 17. I FEEL AS THOUGH GM DOES NOT CARE ABOUT MY FAMILIES OR MY SAFETY IN THIS MATTER WITH THEIR LACK OF RESPONSE . I 'M NOT SURE HOW MANY OTHERS HAVE REPORTED TO GM WITH THEIR ISSUES BUT I KNOW MINE IS FALLING THROUGH THE CRACKS. SO IF YOU CAN PLEASE HELP WITH THIS ISSUE I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IT.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON, SO I TOOK IT IN AND THEY SAID THE VALVE COVER NEEDED TO BE REPLACE. THE COST WAS $280.00 TO REPLACE IT. WHEN STARTING THE CAR THERE IS A LOUD CLANKING NOISE. THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHEN STARTING THE CAR. WE THOUGHT REPLACING THE VALVE COVER WOULD CORRECT THIS ISSUE, BUT IT DID NOT. THE CAR STILL HAS A REALLY LOUD CLANKING NOISE. ONCE THE CAR IS MOVING IT DRIVES FINE. (MANUAL SHIFT CAR) HOWEVER OUR FEARS ARE THAT IF SOMETHING BREAKS WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY, THAT IT COULD CAUSE ENGINE LOSS OR WORSE FREEZE IN THE MIDDLE OF CARS DRIVING 75MPH AND CAUSE A SEVER ACCIDENT. CAN Y'ALL PLEASE CHECK INTO THIS AND LET ME KNOW IF THERE HAS BEEN ANY RECALLS WITH THIS ISSUE?
