ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
MY NIECE GOT IN CAR AND TRIED PULLING OUT OF PARKING SPACE. RIGHT REAR WHEEL DID NOT SPIN AS IF PARKING PRAKE WAS PULLED HARD BUT THE PARKING BRAKE WASN'T ENGAGED. DASH SHOWED SERVICE STABILITY CONTROL . TRIED REVERSE WITH NO LUCK. PUT CAR IN NEUTRAL. WHEELS FREED UP BUT THE LIGHT WITH TWO SQUIGGLY ARROWS WAS STILL LIT ON DASH. DROVE AROUND BLOCK AND ALL REVERTED TO BEING FINE. AM VERY CONCERNED SEEING THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE ELECTRICAL COMPUTER SYSTEM ON CHEVY CRUZE BUT NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED. I GUESS I WILL BE CALLING AN ATTORNEY.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE MAIN CONSOLE IN THE CAR STARTING TURNING ON AND OFF, THE LIGHTS DOING THIS AS WELL. IT AFFECTED THE TURN SIGNALS WHEN I WAS MAKING A TURN, MAKING THEM TURN ON AND OFF AS WELL. TURNED OFF HEADLIGHTS AS WELL, WHILE I WAS ON MY WAY HOME. ONCE I GOT HOME I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND RESTARTED IT, AND THE WHOLE SYSTEM REBOOTED AND I HAD TO FIX THE DATE AND TIME. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN WHEN I USED THE AUTO-START ON THE KEY FOB, DROVE A LITTLE BIT AS THE CONSOLE KEPT TURNING ON AND OFF, PULLED OVER AND TRIED TO RESTART CAR. COULDN'T REMOVE THE KEY FROM IGNITION, EVENTUALLY GOT CAR TO RESTART AFTER TRYING TO RESTART IT FOR ABOUT FIFTEEN MINUTES. THE NEXT DAY THE SAME THING HAPPENED, SO I PARKED THE CAR AND TURNED IT OFF AND TRIED TO RESTART IT AGAIN. WOULDN'T START AND THE KEY WOULD NOT COME OUT OF IGNITION FOR AT LEAST FORTY-FIVE MINUTES. FINALLY GOT THE CAR TO START AND DROVE HOME. WHEN I GOT HOME, TURNED CAR OFF BUT COULD NOT GET THE KEY OUT OF IGNITION. SAT FOR ANOTHER FIFTEEN MINUTES TRYING TO GET KEY FREE. EVENTUALLY ABLE TO REMOVE, RESTART AND TURN CAR OFF NORMALLY. BUT AFTER LOCKING THE CAR, AND THEN COMING BACK TO GET THINGS OUT OF CAR, THE DOORS WOULD NOT UNLOCK AND I CANNOT GET INTO THE VEHICLE.

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHEN THE CAR FIRST STARTED MESSING UP IT WAS MINOR THINGS I NOTICED: THE IN DASH LIGHTER NOT WORKING, TRUNK LATCH DOESN'T WORK EXCEPT BY KEY, TURN SIGNALS WOULD GLITCH, CAN'T USE USB & AUDIO CORD AT SAME TIME WITHOUT IT CUTTING OFF BOTH COMPLETELY. THEN A COUPLE WEEKS LATER I NOTICED MY CAR HAD AN UNUSUAL DELAY IN INCREASING SPEED IT WAS AS IF I HAD TO PUSH IT TO THE FLOOR JUST TO GET TO 30 MPH. NOW THE MOST RECENT EVENT OCCURRED ON 9/17/15 WHICH IS WHAT'S PROMPTING ME TO FILE THIS COMPLAINT (KEEP IN MIND I'VE ONLY OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR 8 MONTHS, PURCHASED AT 54K MILES CURRENTLY HAS 70.9K) I DROVE TO MY HOUSE APPROX 30 MIN HWY FROM WHERE I WAS I GOT INTO MY CAR THE NEXT MORNING IT DIDN'T START AT ALL. MY BF CHECKED THE BATTERY VOLTAGE & IT WAS TOO DEAD TO TEST, WITH A JUMPER BOX MY CAR TOOK APPROX10 MIN TO EVEN TURN OVER, DURING THE TIME OF ME INSIDE THE CAR ATTEMPTING TO START IT MY STEERING COLUMN LOCKED UP, LIGHTS IN DASH, RADIO SYSTEM, HEADLIGHTS EVERYTHING FLASHING ON AND OFF, KEY WAS STUCK INSIDE IGNITION, A FOUL SMELL & CLICKING NOISE IS COMING FROM ENGINE, & COULDN'T LOCK DOORS ONCE I TURNED CAR OFF IMMEDIATELY. THIS ALL OCCURRED I'D SAY WITHIN A MATTER OF 30 SECONDS AFTER THE CAR TO TURNED OVER. WAS SO FREAKED OUT I DIDN'T TRY TO START AGAIN FOR 2-3 MIN AND ONCE I DID IT STARTED RIGHT UP. WITHIN 72 HRS I HAVE NOW SEEN THE STABILITRAC SERVICE ALERT, THEFT ALERT SYSTEM NEEDS SERVICED, ALONG W/ AIR BAGS, & BATTERY LIGHT FLICKERS ON & OFF. THE CLICKING UNDER MY HOOD HAS CONTINUED, THE ROTTEN EGG SMELL FROM ENGINE COMES & GOES, DASH LIGHTS GO DIM THEN GO BACK TO REGULAR. DROVE TO O'REILLYS, THEY WERE ABLE TO TELL ME I NOW HAVE A BAD ALTERNATOR AS WELL. RECALL 14801 WAS ISSUED FOR REPROGRAM ENGINE CONTROL MODULE, GETTING SERVICED THIS WEEK AT DEALERSHIP BUT COULD THIS POSSIBLY CAUSE ALL THIS?? ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING I DON'T WANT TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRS. HELP

ENGINE
THE ACCELERATION TAKES A LOT TO GO FROM 0-30 MPH AND WHEN IT DOES THE CAR FEELS AS THOUGH IT WILL STALL. VEHICLE IS SERVICED REGULARLY. THIS SEEMS TO BE WORSE WHEN THE DEFROST OR AIR IS ON. THE GAS PEDAL NEEDS TO BE ALMOST TO THE FLOOR FOR IT TO EVEN PICK UP AND WHEN IT DOES ACCELERATE IT JUMPS BETWEEN THE GEARS AND THE RPM REEVES UP AND THE VEHICLE IS SLOW TO MOVE.THE ENGINE FAN ALSO RUNS FOR 30 SECS, SHUTS OFF, 1-2 MINS LATER RUNS FOR 30 SECS AND SHUTS OFF. HAVE HAD ENGINE TEMP CHECKED AND NO ISSUES WITH THE CAR OVERHEATING BUT UNKNOWN WHY THE FAN RUNS ON HIGH ALL THE TIME AND IT TAKES AWAY THE POWER TO THE CAR.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE ACCELERATION TAKES ALOT TO GO FROM 0-30 MPH AND WHEN IT DOES THE CAR FEELS AS THOUGH IT WILL STALL. THERE IS A HALF TANK OF GAS, AND NO INDICATION IT SHOULD BE DOING THIS. OIL IS CHANGED REGULARLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES BEFORE THIS INCIDENT OF TODAY. THE GAS PEDAL NEEDS TO BE ALMOST TO THE FLOOR FOR IT TO EVEN PICK UP AND WHEN IT DOES ACCELERATE IT JUMPS BETWEEN THE GEARS AND THE RPM GOES BEYOND 4-5 TO GET IT TO EVEN 20MPH. I DID HAVE AN INCIDENT WHEN THE CAR STALLED AS I WAS IN REVERSE. THAT HAPPENED AT AROUND 30-35K MILES. I DECIDED TO GOOGLE THE ACCELERATION ISSUE AND SEE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE. MY CAR ITSELF HAS HAD 3 RECALLS FIXED.

ENGINE
I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON THE HIGHWAY DOING ABOUT 60-65 MILES PER HOUR. THE CAR WAS DRIVING FINE BUT IT SUDDENLY STARTED TO LOOSE SPEED AND POWER. THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR STALLED. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO THE SHOULDER SAFELY BUT TRAFFIC WAS FLYING BY ME AT VARYING SPEEDS FROM 50-75 MPH. THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHIN 30 SECONDS OF ME NOTICING THE LOSS OF POWER AND THE GAUGES DID NOT SHOW ANY WARNING LIGHTS OF HEATING OR EMPTY GAS TANK. I ALLOWED THE CAR TO COOL DOWN FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES AFTER POPPING THE HOOD OPEN AND THEN I ATTEMPTED TO START IT. NO LUCK. THE STARTER WAS CRANKING BUT THE ENGINE WOULD NOT TURN. THE ENGINE TRIED TO TURN ON AS IF I KEPT THE KEY TURNED IN THE ON POSITION. I ALLOWED THE CAR TO COOL DOWN FOR ANOTHER 40 MINUTES (WITH THE HOOD OPEN) AS IT WAS A HOT DAY, 87F, I ATTEMPTED AGAIN AND THE SAME STARTING NOISE CAME, BUT THE CAR NEVER TURNED BACK ON. I HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK AND SPEND $130 TO TAKE IT HOME. I'M GLAD THAT I WAS ALONE AND THAT IT WAS DURING THE DAY. IMAGINE IF THIS HAPPENED AT NIGHT IN A WINTER ICY ROAD WHEN I HAVE MY FAMILY WITH ME!!! WOW... THIS SITUATION SCARED ME AND NOW I'M NOT SURE IF I SHOULD USE THE CAR FOR ANYMORE FOR ROAD TRIPS WITH THE FAMILY, ITS DANGEROUS. THE INTERIOR ALSO SMELLS LIKE ANTIFREEZE FLUID WHEN I TURN ON THE HEAT IN WINTER TIME. THAT IS ANOTHER ISSUE!!!. I HOPE TO HEAR FORM GM. THANK YOU *TR

PURCHASED CAR NEW FOR MY DAUGHTER GOING TO COLLEGE. CAR HAS BEEN GOOD BUT SHE CALLED ME THAT SHE STARTED HER CAR IN A PARKING LOT AND SHE HAD A STABILITRAC LIGHT, POWER STEERING, AND TONES GOING OFF.
