ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
HESITANT ACCELERATION ISSUE. AFTER COMING TO A STOP. I PUT MY FOOT ON ACCELERATOR AND VEHICLE DID NOT GO FORWARD AT FIRST. THEN ENGINE REV UP BUT VEHICLE STARTED TO MOVE SLOWLY. WHEN IT DID I COULD ONLY GO 27 MPH IN A 45 MPH ZONE. HAD TO PULL OVER AND TURN OFF VEHICLE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE WHEN TRYING TO MERGE ON TO A HIGHWAY. WENT TO TWO AUTHORIZED CHEVROLET DEALERS ON 12/02/13 AND 4/02/14. BOTH DEALERS STATED THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM AND ALL TROUBLE CODES INDICATED EVERYTHING IS OK. WHICH IT IS NOT. THIS IS A 1.4 TURBO 4 ENGINE. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. PLEASE HELP! *TR

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
SINCE I FIRST PURCHASED MY 2011 CRUZE, I HAVE EXPERIENCED HESITATIONS IN THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION CHANGING BETWEEN SECOND AND THIRD GEAR (APPROXIMATELY BETWEEN 35-40 MPH). IN THE LAST MONTH, THE HESITATIONS HAPPEN EVERY TIME I START FROM A STATIONARY POSITION. SOME OF THE HESITATIONS ARE MORE PRONOUNCED (I.E., AN ACTUAL LURCHING OF THE VEHICLE). THERE HAVE ALSO BEEN OCCURRENCES OF THE CAR NOT RESPONDING PROPERLY TO PRESSING THE ACCELERATION PEDAL. I FOUND THIS VERY ALARMING, AS IT HAPPENED DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. *TR

STRUCTURE, STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
THE FRONT CHROME INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES ON MY 2011 CHEVY CRUZE THAT I PURCHASED IS PEELING OFF. THE EDGES OF THE CHROME ARE EXTREMELY SHARP. BOTH MY WIFE AND I HAVE CUT OUR FINGERS ON BOTH FRONT DOOR HANDLES WHILE EXITING THE VEHICLE. IT IS NO PAPER CUT EITHER. PRETTY DEEP AND PAINFUL. I ENDED UP PLACING TAPE AROUND THE HANDLES AS A QUICK FIX FROM BEING CUT. WHEN I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP, I WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE $150 FOR A NEW HANDLE AND THAT IT DID NOT INCLUDE INSTILLATION. AFTER READING NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE AND OBSERVING A COPY OF A LETTER FROM CHEVROLET ADMITTING THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE HANDLES, I WONDER WHY THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL AS OF YET ON THIS ISSUE. *TR

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
BOUGHT BRAND NEW AND HAS ALWAYS HAD JERKING AND HESITATION WHEN HITTING ACCELERATOR. ALSO JERKING WHEN SHIFTING AND OVER REVVING DUE TO NOT SHIFTING PROPERLY. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP, THEY COULDN'T REPLICATE ISSUE. AT 36,000 MILES HAD TO HAVE ECM REPLACED DUE TO CAR STALLING OUT AT STOPS, RUNNING VERY ROUGH THEN STALLING AT STOPS. SEEMED TO HELP SOMEWHAT BUT DID NOT ALLEVIATE THE RUNNING ROUGH INTERMITTENTLY STILL AT STOPS WHICH IS SCARY AS DON'T KNOW WHEN IT MIGHT STALL OUT AND NOT GO AS MY JOB REQUIRES TRAVELING THROUGH THE WEEK. AT 50,000 MILES HAD TO HAVE ECM PROGRAM "UPDATED" AND SPARK PLUGS REPLACED...DEALERSHIP SAID PLUGS SHOULD BE ON A RECALL BUT THEY DID REPLACE NO CHARGE I PAID FOR LABOR CHARGES OF COURSE. CAR IS STILL RUNNING ROUGH INTERMITTENTLY AT STOPS, ALMOST STALLS OUT BUT HASN'T YET...I WOULD NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHEVY PRODUCT AND AM VERY SAD TO SAY THAT AS HAD MY 1998 MALIBU FOR 12 YEARS WITHOUT MAJOR ISSUES. THANK YOU. *TR

I WAS BEGINNING TO ACCELERATE FROM AT STOPPED POSITION READY TO ENTER TRAFFIC WHEN THE CAR HESITATED TO THE POINT OF STALLING OUT. THE PROBLEM IS PERIODIC. IT'S VERY SCARY TO BE PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND THE CAR PRACTICALLY STALLS. I TOLD THE DEALERSHIP BUT THEY DIDN'T TAKE ME SERIOUSLY. *TR

SEAT BELTS, CHILD SEAT
WHEN INSTALLING A CHILD BOOSTER SEAT IN THE REAR SEAT OF OUR 2011 CHEVY CRUZE THE BOOSTER SEAT COMPLETELY COVERS THE SAFETY BELT LATCH MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO LATCH THE BELT. THIS APPLIES TO BOTH THE RIGHT AND LEFT SIDES OF THE CAR. WHEN I CONTACTED THE DEALER THEY STATED THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH NO ALTERNATIVE TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. THE ONLY WAY TO LATCH THE SAFETY BELT IS TO FASTEN IT INTO THE INCORRECT LATCH. THIS IN MY OPINION CREATES A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
MY ENGINE SPUTTERED & THE ENGINE POWER REDUCTION MESSAGE, TRACTION LIGHT & CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, THIS MAY BE DUE TO THE THROTTLE BODY. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS OF THIS SAME ISSUE ON THE CHEVY CRUZE FORUM & MANY HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING, CAUSING THE AUTO TO STOP OR SLOW TO 5 MILES PER HOUR. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. ONE COMPLAINT WAS OF THE WOMAN DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE & ALMOST BEING HIT BY A SEMI. THIS NEEDS TO BE A SAFETY RECALL IMMEDIATELY. THIS IS CLEARLY A FACTORY PART ISSUE. THIS IS HAPPENING ON THESE AUTOS THAT DO NOT HAVE MUCH MILEAGE.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
ON MY 2011 CHEVY CRUZE I HAVE NOTICED THAT MY RADIATOR COOLANT TANK HAS BEEN LEAKING OUT ANTIFREEZE. I HAVE NOTICED THAT IN MAY 7TH 2013. I HAD IT TAKEN INTO THE DEALER AND IT GOT FIXED BY THE DEALER ON DATE LISTED. I HAVE CONTINUED TO BUY MORE OF THE SPECIAL BRAND OF COOLANT AND JUST BEEN FILLING IT UP WITHOUT HAVING TO GO TO THE DEALER BECAUSE THEN I HAVE NO VEHICLE TO DRIVE. LAST NIGHT ON 1/11/14 I PUT MORE ANTIFREEZE IN THE VEHICLE AND WAS GOING TO CHECK ON IT THE NEXT MORNING. I NOTICED THAT ON 1/12/14 THE NEXT DAY THAT THE RADIATOR COOLANT TANK WAS ALMOST EMPTY AFTER FILLING IT UP ALL THE WAY LAST NIGHT. LOOKING AROUND MY FATHER AND I SAW ANTIFREEZE SITTING ON THE TRANSMISSION AND NO HOSES ARE LEAKING. IT IS BEING TAKEN INTO THE DEALER AGAIN ON 1/13/14 FOR THIS ISSUE AGAIN. I HAVE FILLED A COMPLAINT WITH GM AND GOT A CASE #. GM CUSTOMER SERVICE NOTIFIED ME THAT IF THIS HAPPENS AGAIN AFTER BEING TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP TO CALL THEM AGAIN. MY FATHERS GUESS IS THAT THE PRESSURE IN THAT TANK IS 20PSI AND SINCE THE HOSE DOES NOT APPEAR TO LEAK THAT THE ANTI FREEZE FROM THE RADIATOR COOLANT TANK IS COMING OUT OF THE TANK FROM THE PRESSURE CAP.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I HAD COME FROM A RED LIGHT THAT TURNED GREEN, AND AS I APPROACHED THE NEXT RED LIGHT, IT HAD TURNED GREEN BEFORE I GOT THERE. I WAS COASTING IN SLOWLY AS THE VEHICLES THAT WERE ALREADY WAITING AT THAT LIGHT WERE STARTING TO MOVE FORWARD. THOUGH THE LIGHT WAS GREEN, THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME HAD STOPPED RIGHT AS HE GOT TO THE INTERSECTION - HE WAS PROACTIVE IN STOPPING FOR AN AMBULANCE THAT WAS LEAVING THE STATION AT THE CORNER (IT WAS NOT ON THE STREET YET AND NO SIRENS.) I WENT TO SLOW DOWN BEFORE REALIZING HE WAS ACTUALLY STOPPED (AT THAT MOMENT, WAS UNAWARE OF AN AMBULANCE.) WHEN I REALIZED HE WAS ACTUALLY STOPPED, I STILL HAD PLENTY OF TIME TO STOP THE DISTANCE I WAS FROM HIS CAR AHEAD OF ME, BUT MY CAR WOULD NOT STOP! THE CAR SLOWED DOWN SIGNIFICANTLY, HOWEVER, IT WOULD NOT STOP. IT JUST KEPT ROLLING FORWARD AT A VERY SLOW PACE. I REMEMBER PRESSING THE BRAKE HARDER, AND THE ABS KICKED IN, AND I HEARD THE "CRUNCH" SOUND 3 TIMES, EVEN THOUGH THE GROUND WAS DRY, AT THE TIME I DID NOT KNOW WHY, I THOUGHT SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE ABS, BUT THE CAR NEVER STOPPED. ALL I COULD DO WAS WATCH IN VERY SLOW MOTION AS MY CAR CONTINUED TO PULL FORWARD AND I EVENTUALLY DRIFTED INTO THE REAR OF THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. IT WAS A VERY SLOW-MOVING INCIDENT BUT I FELT TOTALLY HELPLESS AS THE CAR CONTINUED TO ROLL. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO HIS VEHICLE, ONLY TO MINE. I WAS UPSET BC I KEPT REPLAYING THE INCIDENT IN MY MIND: WHY DIDN'T MY CAR STOP? WHY DID IT FEEL LIKE IT WAS BEING PULLED FORWARD? I HAD MY CAR REPAIRED AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKES OR TIRES OR FLUID. A FEW MONTHS LATER, I REC'D THE 12213 ELECTRIC VACUUM PUMP AND FOUND THE DESCRIPTION MATCHED MY EXPERIENCE. I WANT CHEVROLET TO REFUND ME AND MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND CLEAR THIS ACCIDENT AS MY FAULT. I AM ALSO MAKING A COMPLAINT TO CHEVROLET. *TR

ENGINE
ON 12/12/13 MY PROBLEMS WITH MY 2011 CHEVY CRUZE BEGAN. THE ENGINE BEGAN MAKING A HUMMING NOISE, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON INTERMITTENTLY, IT BEGAN TO RANDOMLY LOSE POWER AND OVERHEAT. ON 12/20/13 3-WAY CHEVROLET REPLACED THE CAM PHASE AND WATER PUMP. ON 01/01/14, THE VEHICLE BEGAN MAKING THE SAME HUMMING NOISE BUT LOUDER AND HAD A CONSISTENT LOSS OF POWER. ON 01/08/14, 3-WAY REPLACED THE TURBO CHARGER. I PICKED UP THE VEHICLE ON 01/09/14 AND WITHIN 1 HOUR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO 3-WAY ON 01/10/2014 AND DID NOT GET THE VEHICLE BACK UNTIL 02/20/2014. DURING THAT TIME, THE CYLINDER HEAD AND VALVES WERE REPLACED, PISTONS AND RINGS WERE REPLACED, INJECTORS AND COILS WERE SWAPPED FROM ANOTHER VEHICLE AND THE CAR STILL HAD MISFIRE. A GM ENGINEER WAS BROUGHT IN AND THE TURBO CHARGER WAS REPLACED AGAIN AND THE OIL FEED LINE WAS PLUGGED. ON 02/21/14, I NOTICED FLUID IN MY DRIVEWAY. THE CAR IS LEAKING SOMETHING AND THE POWER IS STILL NOT CONSISTENT. I CONTACTED 3-WAY LATE FRIDAY AND AM WAITING FOR A CALL BACK. I HAVE BE INCONVENIENCED BEYOND WORDS, THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE AND I WANT GM TO PURCHASE THE CAR BACK. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES STARTING ABOUT A MONTH AGO, EITHER WHEN IDLE AT A LIGHT, DRIVING AROUND TOWN OR ON THE FREEWAY (I HAVE NOT BEEN AT FULL HWY SPEED WHEN THIS HAS OCCURRED) THE STABILITRAK WARNING COMES ON AND ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED TO PRACTICALLY NOTHING, I CAN'T TRAVEL OTHER THAN AT A SNAIL'S SPACE, WITH ABSOLUTELY NO ACCELERATION TO HELP GET OUT OF THE WAY. DRIVE TRAIN SHAKES A LITTLE. VERY DANGEROUS POSITION TO BE IN. I TRIED TO SHUT OFF THE STABILITRAK AND THAT SEEMED TO WORK UNTIL THE LAST INCIDENCE WHEN THE ISSUE OCCURRED WITH STABILITRAK TURNED OFF. THE ONLY WAY I CAN GET THE CAR TO RESET IS TO SHUT IT OFF FOR A FEW SECONDS AND TURN IT BACK ON. MIGHT GO A FEW DAYS WITHOUT ANY CONCERNS, THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, IT STARTS UP AGAIN. ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON FOR A FEW ON/OFF CYCLES THEN GOES AWAY. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY MY "ENGINE POWER REDUCED","SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL", AND "SERVICE STABILITRAK" WARNING NOTICES APPEARED. FRANTICALLY I PULLED OVER ON THE UP COMING EXIT RAMP, EVEN THOUGH THE ENGINE WOULD NOT GO OVER 5 MPH WITH MY GAS PEDAL PUSHED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, AND WAS FORTUNATE NOT TO BE HIT WITH MY 3 CHILDREN IN THE CAR. AFTER DOING MY RESEARCH , I TURNED OFF THE CAR LET IT REST AND CONTINUED DRIVING ONLY FOR IT TO HAPPEN 4 MORE TIMES WITH IN 25 MINUTES. THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED 3 OTHER TIMES THROUGHOUT THE WEEK! THERE SEEMS TO BE NO ANSWER FROM THE DEALERSHIP EVEN THOUGH I TOOK PICTURES OF THE WARNING LIGHTS AND PROVIDED MANY OTHER EXACTLY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ALL ACROSS THE COUNTRY! I WILL NOT DRIVE THIS CAR AND ESPECIALLY NOT WITH MY CHILDREN IN IT I HAVE JUST WASTED 16K OF MY MONEY ! WHY IS THERE NOT A SOLUTION FOR THIS ISSUE YET AND IF THERE IS WHY DOES IT TAKE SUCH EXTREME REMEDIES TO FIND THE SOLUTION. THIS IS A RECALL MATERIAL SITUATION! I WOULD LIKE SOMEONE TO CALL ME IN REGARDS TO THIS SITUATION, I FEEL THERE IS NO EXCUSE MY CHILDREN AND I COULD HAVE DIED TONIGHT ! *TR

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
TURNED ON CAR IN THE MORNING AND RECEIVED 2 MESSAGES OF "ENGINE POWER REDUCED", "SERVICE STABILI-TRAC", SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL" AS WELL AS A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. ENGINE WOULD NOT GO ABOVE 1500 RPM'S. TOOK IT INTO DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT I HAD A TRANSMISSION LEAK AND BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T HAVE TIME THEY WANTED ME TO RESCHEDULE FOR THE FOLLOWING WEEK. PROBLEM CONTINUED TO HAPPEN AND ON MY WAY IN TO WORK ON 02/11/14 THE PROBLEM HAPPENED TWO TIMES IN THE MORNING AND WAS FORCED TO PUT CAR IN PARK TURN OFF ENGINE AND RESTART. THEN HAPPENS 3 TIMES ONCE ON A VERY BUSY HIGHWAY INTO DOWNTOWN DENVER AND TWICE IN DOWNTOWN. CALLED DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED TO BRING IT IN. WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE "THROTTLE BODY" WHICH IS A $450.00 FIX NOT COVERED UNDER POWER TRAIN WARRANTY . WITH SO MANY PEOPLE HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND ALMOST BEING HIT EVERY TIME IT HAPPENS DUE TO IT HAPPENING ABRUPTLY WHEN COLD IT IS A CLEAR SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. I SENSE THAT IF THEY DON'T THERE WILL BE A CLASS ACTION LAW SUITE IN THEIR FUTURE. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE PARKED IN A PARKING LOT WAITING FOR THE SNOWY CONDITIONS TO SLOW DOWN, I WAITED ABOUT 15 MINUTES WITH MY CAR ON IDLE. I PULLED OUT OF THE PARKING SPOT TO GO TO MY DESTINATION. AS I WAS ON DRIVE, MY CAR SLOWED DOWN TO 5 MPH AND COULDN'T ACCELERATE, MESSAGE PULLED UP ON MY SCREEN SAYING "ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED". TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND QUOTED ME $500 TO FIX THE VALVE BODY SYSTEM. I'VE READ ON A FORUM THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS MODEL. *TR

MY 2011 CHEVY CRUZE LTZ WENT IN TO REDUCED ENGINE POWER MODE AND SAID TO SERVICE STABILITRAK AND TRACTION CONTROL. THIS HAPPENED IN BELOW FREEZING TEMPERATURES WITH FROZEN PRECIPITATION ON THE GROUND. RESEARCH ONLINE INDICATES THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH CHEVY CRUZE VEHICLES. THE CAR WAS DRIVE ABLE AFTER POWERING DOWN FOR A FEW SECONDS, BUT A FEW MILES DOWN THE ROAD IT WOULD GO INTO REDUCED ENGINE POWER MODE AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THE LAST WEEK. LIKELY THROTTLE BODY PROBLEM. *TR
