ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHEN THE SPEED OF THE CAR STARTS TO REACH 50 MILES A HIGH PITCH SOUND OCCURS. I CANNOT DETERMINED IF IT IS RELATED TO WHEN AIR CONDITIONER IS TURNED ON. THE NOISE WILL DIMINISH WHEN SPEED IS LOWERED TO ABOUT 45 MILES. I CANNOT RECALL IF THIS HAPPENS IN THE COLDER MONTHS BUT IT DOES SEEM TO HAPPEN IN THE SUMMER. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
-THE FOLLOWING SYMPTOMS OCCUR INTERMITTENTLY (APPROXIMATELY ONE TIME PER MONTH) -WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE ISSUE TYPICALLY BEGINS WITH THE CENTER RADIO DISPLAY AND SOUND FLICKERING ON AND OFF. -NEXT, VARIOUS ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS IN THE CAR BEGIN TO MALFUNCTION. THIS INCLUDES TRACTION CONTROL, POWER STEERING, HEADLIGHTS, TURN SIGNALS CRUISE CONTROL, WINDOW FUNCTIONS, AND BRAKE LIGHTS. -THE VEHICLE DOES NOT ONLY REPORT THE SYSTEM MALFUNCTION, BUT WILL ACTUALLY EXPERIENCE FAILURE (ETC, POWER STEERING IS ACTUALLY DISABLED IN THE CAR). POWER STEERING WAS ONCE LOST AT THE BOTTOM OF A SWITCHBACK IN THE MOUNTAINS. I NEARLY LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. -AFTER THIS ISSUE OCCURS, IF THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF IT WILL NOT RESTART FOR 30-60 MINUTES (UNLESS THE BATTERY IS DISCONNECTED AND RECONNECTED). -DURING THIS PERIOD IT WILL NOT RESTART, NONE OF THE ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS OF THE CAR WILL WORK (DOORS WILL NOT LOCK, WINDOWS WILL NOT MOVE, LIGHTS WILL NOT TURN ON, ETC). -ALSO, DURING THIS PERIOD I HAVE NOTICED A SOUND WITHIN THE DASHBOARD. THIS SOUNDS LIKE A SMALL ELECTRIC MOTOR RUNNING FOR APPROXIMATELY 60 SECONDS. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
SEVERAL TIMES NOW (USUALLY AFTER IT RAINS BUT PERSISTING LONG AFTER) I HAVE BEEN HAVING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH MY 2012 CHEVY CRUZE. AT RANDOM, THE RADIO LOSES POWER AND MAY COME BACK ON AUTOMATICALLY OR FLICKER CONTINUOUSLY. IT OCCASIONALLY HAPPENS WHEN I PRESS THE BRAKE, USE THE TURN SIGNAL, OR ROLL DOWN THE WINDOW. ABOUT EVERY 3RD TIME ON AVERAGE THAT I HAVE NOTICED THIS I ALSO SEE A MESSAGE COME ACROSS THE DISPLAY THAT SAYS "SERVICE STABILITRAK" OR OTHER RANDOM MESSAGES OR DASH LIGHTS. ONCE THE "POWER STEERING" NOTIFICATION CAME ON AND I COULD FEEL THE CAR LOSE POWER STEERING FOR ONLY A MOMENT. ONE OTHER THING THAT HAS HAPPENED WAS THAT MY HORN SOUNDED ALL ON IT'S OWN WHEN THE RADIO FLICKERED. I CALLED MY DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAD ME BRING MY CAR IN FOR TESTING AFTER THIS FIRST HAPPENED. THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR, AND AFTER THEY PERFORMED THESE TESTS MY CAR DID NOT MALFUNCTION AGAIN FOR QUITE A WHILE. IT IS SCARY DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WHEN THIS HAPPENS BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IF I AM LOSING POWER TO THE HEADLIGHTS/TAIL LIGHTS WHEN THIS IS HAPPENING, AND SINCE IT HAPPENS AT RANDOM I CAN'T JUST ASK SOMEONE IF IT IS HAPPENING. GLAD TO SEE OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM, BECAUSE THE PEOPLE AT THE CAR DEALERSHIP LOOKED AT ME LIKE I WAS INSANE :/ PLEASE HELP GM, PLEASE FIND WHAT IS CAUSING THESE SHORT CIRCUITS AND ISSUE A RECALL! *TR

STEERING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I AM FILING A COMPLAINT ON A 2012 CHEVROLET CRUZ LS, THAT I PURCHASED AT COWBOY MOTORS. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE ON JUNE 07, 2013,IT HAD 46211 MILES AND IT NOW HAS 49789 MILES. RECENTLY, MY WIFE NOTICED THE RADIO WOULD CUT OFF AND A MONTH AGO SHE TOLD ME ABOUT AN ISSUE DEALING WITH THE STEERING. SHE SAID IT WOULD GET HARD TO CONTROL AND SOMETIMES ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE. ALSO, THE DASH INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON SYMBOLIZING THAT WE NEEDED TO CHECK THE STEERING. I BEGIN TO DRIVE THE CAR TO SEE WHAT WAS HAPPENING, NOTHING HAPPENED, UNTIL ABOUT 10 DAYS AGO IT HAPPEN TO ME. I HAVE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND ASKED IF THERE HAS BEEN ANY PROBLEMS LISTED WITH THE STEERING, I WAS TOLD NO BUT I SHOULD BRING IT IN SINCE I HAD A EXTENDED WARRANTY AND IT WOULD COST A $50 DEDUCTIBLE IF THE WARRANTY COVERED IT. I GOT ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND OUT THAT THERE IS A LIST OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AS OURS. I AM FEARFUL FOR MY WIFE AND GRANDCHILDREN. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE AUTOMOBILE AND SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE BY THE DEALER OR MANUFACTURE, TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM AND FROM WHAT I READ, NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS EXACTLY. THIS IS A SAFETY FACTOR ISSUE AND MY CONCERN IS WHAT CAN I DO TO GET MY CAR FIX WITHOUT IT COSTING ME. *TR

ENGINE
C/S SES LIGHT WAS ON. I TOOK CAR TO NORMAN FREDE CHEVROLET FOR REPAIRS. THE DETERMINED THAT THERE WAS A VACUUM LEAK AT THE ENGINE CAM COVER AND REPLACED IT - OR SO THEY SAID. HERE IS THE INVOICE STATEMENT: "PO171 VAC LEAK AT ENGINE CAM COVER 4060930/0.6 REPLACE ENGINE CAM COVER. CLEAR CODE 6061" AFTER GETTING THE CAR BACK, I WENT TO NBT AND HAD THE OIL CHANGED. THE NEXT MORNING I DROVE TO DALLAS FROM HOUSTON. ON THE WAY, I HAD ANOTHER CODE LIGHT AND CALLED THE DEALERSHIP. WHEN I GOT BACK FROM DALLAS ON SUNDAY JUNE 29, 2013, I DISCOVERED THAT THERE WAS OIL ON THE BACK OF MY CAR BUMPER AND TRUNK. I TOOK IT TO NBT AND THEY INSPECTED IT AND CONFIRMED THAT THEY DID NOTHING WRONG TO CAUSE THE OIL LEAK. NBT CONFIRMED THAT THE ENGINE WAS LEAKING OIL AT THE CAM COVER. I DROPPED THE VEHICLE AT NORMAN FREDE ON SUNDAY AND AM IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING TO THE BOTTOM OF THE PROBLEM. THE NBT PERSON WAS SURPRISED THAT THE CAM COVER WAS PLASTIC. THIS OIL LEAK COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ENGINE FIRE. I AM ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT A PLASTIC CAM COVER. SHOULD NOT A CAM COVER BE METAL? IS THIS A CHRONIC PROBLEM? *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK, ABOUT 15 MILES ON THE FREEWAY AT THE SPEED LIMIT WHICH IS 75 MPH. THE CAR WITH NO WARNING COMPLETELY SHUT ITSELF OFF. AS A RESULT, I LOST THE ABILITY TO STEER OR BRAKE. I WOULD ESTIMATE IT STAYED OFF FOR APPROXIMATELY 5 SECONDS BEFORE KICKING BACK ON, WITHOUT MY HAVING TO RESTART. I TREATED THIS AS AN ANOMALY. LAST WEEK ON MY WAY TO WORK, WHICH IS IN THE DARK AT 3AM, IT SHUT ITSELF OF 3 TIMES WITHIN 10 MILES OF A 70 MILE DRIVE. EACH TIME GIVING ME A SERVICE INDICATOR LIGHT OF SOME SORT ( SERVICE STABILITRAK, SERVICE ANTI THEFT...) I HAD NO STEERING, NO BREAKS AND NO LIGHTS. AGAIN THIS IS IN THE DARK!! I NOTICED THAT THERE ARE 43 OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THIS VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WITH NO RESOLUTION FROM THIS SITE , THE DEALERSHIPS OR THE MANUFACTURER. IS IT GOING TO TAKE A DEATH OR HORRIFYINGLY BAD ACCIDENT TO GET THIS ADDRESSED??? *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
SINCE 11/13 TO PRESENT, I'VE BEEN EXPERIENCING INSTANCES WITH THE STABILITY TRAK ISSUES WITH THE RADIO TURNING ON/OFF FOR A FEW MINS; THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS WOULD BLINK AND GO DIM; IT HAPPENED OFTEN WHEN I'D USE THE DEFOGGER AND TRY TO LET THE WINDOW UP/DOWN AND IT WOULD ALSO DIM MY HEADLIGHTS (I NOTICED THAT IN THE EVENINGS) OR EVEN JUST USING THE TURN SIGNAL. RECENTLY I WAS HITTING THE HIGHWAY & THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT, THE DOORS UNLOCKED & THE MESSAGES WERE ON MY DASH. THERE'S ALSO A DARK RING AROUND MY STEERING WHEEL FOR THE AIRBAG THAT I BELIEVED TRIED TO OPEN. I HAD TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL WITH A LOT OF FORCE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO AVOID GETTING HIT FROM BEHIND. I TURNED THE CAR OFF & WAITED A FEW MINUTES & TURNED IT BACK ON. IT CAME BACK ON WITH NO ISSUES. THE NEXT DAY THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT AGAIN BUT THIS TIME I WAS IN THE DRIVEWAY AFTER ARRIVING HOME. BOTH TIMES THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED, I WAS USING MY AC. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP & WAS TOLD THAT THE CODES MAY NOT COME UP SINCE IT HAD ONLY HAPPENED 2 TIMES. I TOOK IT TO ADVANCE AUTO AND THEY PUT IT ON THEIR COMPUTER AND NO CODES SHOWED UP. I WAS TOLD BY THE PLACE THAT I PURCHASED MY CAR FROM TO WAIT FOR THE RECALL. I'VE BEEN CHECKING EVERY DAY SINCE THEN TO SEE IF THERE IS A RECALL FOR MY CAR BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO PAY FOR REPAIRS THAT SHOULD ALREADY BE ON THE RECALL LIST! I'M TOO AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR A LONG DISTANCE FOR FEAR OF GETTING HIT OR EVEN KILLED BY OTHER VEHICLES IF & WHEN MY CAR DOES IT AGAIN. *TR

TRANSMISSION?? I NOTICED WHEN DRIVING FROM ANYWHERE FROM 30-60 MPH, THAT THE CAR DOES NOT SEEM TO SHIFT RIGHT. IT VIOLENTLY SHAKES BEFORE REACHING THE SHIFT POINT AND THE TACHOMETER WILL SURGE BOTH ON CRUISE AND REGULAR ACCELERATION. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER 3X AND THEY TEST DROVE IT, CONFIRMING THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER, NO LIGHTS CAME ON AND THE DIAGNOSTIC TESTS THEY DID WERE INCONCLUSIVE. THEY TOLD ME UNLESS THERE IS A RECALL FOR THAT REASON OR A LIGHT COMES ON FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC CODE, THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING ELSE, BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO LOOK FOR. IT IS PROGRESSIVELY GETTING WORSE AND I AM ALMOST SCARED TO DRIVE IT TO MY JOB (AN HOUR AWAY) FOR FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN... WILL IT CATCH ON FIRE, WILL THE TRANSMISSION FALL OUT, ETC??? I'D REALLY LIKE TO KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, SO IT CAN BE FIXED. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THERE WERE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME THING WITH CRUZES AROUND THAT YEAR, ESPECIALLY WITH TURBO, AND THAT I SHOULD CONTACT YOU TO SEE IF THERE IS ANYTHING YOU CAN DO AS AN INVESTIGATION ON THE MATTER. I DID GET A RECALL NOTICE ON THE VACUUM PUMP, BUT NOT THE AIR BAG COIL, AS OF YET. I'M STILL WAITING TO SEE IF THAT APPLIES TO ME. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP IN THIS MATTER. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
SIMILAR ISSUE TO THE PREVIOUS BRAKE RECALL TO WHICH REPAIR WAS COMPLETED ON THIS VEHICLE MONTHS PRIOR TO THESE INCIDENTS. THE BRAKE PEDDLE ON THE CAR WOULD BECOME MUCH HARDER THAN ANTICIPATED MULTIPLE TIMES, MOSTLY WHEN FIRST STARTING THE VEHICLE OR REVERSING FROM A PARKING SPOT, HAD SEVERAL NEAR MISS ACCIDENTS AT LOW SPEEDS, OVER THE COURSE OF SEVERAL MONTHS. THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMED THAT IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE RECALL THAT REPLACED THE MICROSWITCH IN THE POWER BRAKE VACUUM PIPE ASSEMBLY. RATHER THEY REPLACED THE BRAKE VACUUM BOOST HOSE ASSEMBLY, CLAIMING THAT WAS WHERE THE PROBLEM ORIGINATED FROM AND HAD NOTHING AT ALL TO DO WITH THE MICROSWITCH EVEN THOUGH THE RECALL WAS FOR VERY SIMILAR PROBLEM. *TR

THIS INCIDENT HAS HAPPENED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS AND WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP THREE DIFFERENT TIMES TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE... THE PROBLEM IS STILL OCCURRING AND NOTHING IS RESOLVED. RADIO WOULD TURN ON/OFF AND DASHBOARD LIGHTS KEPT FLICKERING, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL AND SERVICE STABILITY TRAK WOULD POP UP ALONG WIT FH THE ENGINE LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT AND THE VEHICLE TURNED ON/OFF. ENGINE WOULD SOUND REALLY LOUD AT TIMES, EVEN AFTER THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF (MAYBE IT WAS THE ENGINE FAN BUT I'M NOT SURE)... THIS CAR IS NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS AFTER PROBLEMS AND THEY ARE NOT GETTING RESOLVED BECAUSE THEY KEEP RECURRING. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE
IN APRIL I HAD BEEN DRIVING AND NOTICED THAT MY RADIO WAS FLICKERING. AFTER ABOUT TEN MINUTES OF MY RADIO FLICKERING ON AND OFF, THE "SERVICE STABILITRACK" LIGHT CAME ON. ONCE THE SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON, POWER STEERING SHUT OFF AND I HAD TO PULL THE VEHICLE OVER. AFTER PULLING OVER, I SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE AND THEN TRIED TO RESTART IT. THIS TIME IT STARTED WITH A NEW SERVICE LIGHT ON. I TOOK THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAD IT FOR THREE DAYS HOPING THAT THE PROBLEM WOULD PRESENT ITSELF TO THEM. I SHOWED THEM A VIDEO OF WHAT HAPPENS TO THE RADIO AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO HELP ME. THEY DID HOWEVER NOTICE THAT A PREVIOUSLY RECALL DONE ON MY CAR HAD NOT BEEN FIXED BEFORE I PURCHASED IT. A FEW DAYS AFTER GETTING THE CAR BACK, THE LIGHTS STARTED TO FLICKER AGAIN. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY LET ME KNOW THAT THERE WAS NO POINT IN BRINGING IT IN UNLESS THE PROBLEM WAS CONSTANT. ABOUT A MONTH LATER, I WENT TO START MY CAR AND NOTHING. NO LIGHTS, NO ENGINE TURN OVER NOTHING. MY KEY WAS STUCK IN THE IGNITION AND WOULD NOT TURN. MY FIANCE HAD TO GET OUT TAP THE BATTERY AND THE WHOLE THING STARTED UP. TWO DAYS AGO, THE SAME RADIO, SERVICE LIGHTS AND ENGINE SHUT OFF HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS IS 2 TIMES NOW THAT I HAVE HAD COMPLETE FAILURE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I AM LITERALLY TERRIFIED FOR MY LIFE!!!!!!!....UPDATED 07/31/14 *BF UPDATED 08/23/2017*CT *TR

I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY GARAGE AND AS I PUSHED ON MY BRAKE PEDAL TO SLOW DOWN AND MANEUVER OUT OF THE GARAGE I REALIZED THE PEDAL WOULD NOT GO DOWN AND THE CAR KEPT GOING IN REVERSE WITH NO WAY OF STOPPING IT! THERE WAS NO GIVE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL AT ALL, IT WAS AS IF IT WAS LOCKED UP. I ROLLED BACKWARD SEVERAL FEET WHILE STILL PUSHING ON THE BRAKE AND EVENTUALLY THE PEDAL WENT DOWN AND THE CAR STOPPED. THIS HAPPENED ABOUT A MONTH AGO, BUT I THOUGHT, AT THE TIME, I MUST HAVE DONE SOMETHING SILLY LIKE HIT THE FLOORBOARD WITH MY FOOT . I NOW REALIZE THIS COULD BE A REAL HAZARD TO MYSELF AND OTHERS. I DID HAVE A RECALL ON THE BRAKES SOME MONTHS AGO AND I TOOK MY CAR INTO TO HAVE IT DONE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE SINCE CHEVROLET FIXED MY RECALL. THIS IS VERY CONCERNING!! *TR
