TRUNK HAS A BUTTON TO RELEASE AND OPEN IT, THE DESIGN BY GM HAS CAUSED MOISTURE TO EASILY GET INSIDE, THE OTHER ISSUE IS HOW THE BUTTONS ARE INSTALLED, MINE HAD A STRONG EPOXY SO IT MADE THE REPAIR IMPOSSIBLE WITH OUT A NEW TRIM PIECE. IF YOU LOOK AT THE CHEVY CRUZE IT IS THE PIECE THAT HAS THE LICENSE PLATE LIGHTS, IN THE MIDDLE IS THE TRUNK BUTTON, I DID CALL GM AND THEY DIDN'T SEEM TO CARE, THIS TRUNK ISSUE HAS BEEN AN ONGOING NUISANCE FOR ALOT OF CONSUMERS. THANK YOU AND IF THERE IS ANY QUESTIONS MY NUMBER IS (XXXXX) PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I GOT GAS ON JUNE 1ST AND NOT EVEN 15 MILES AFTERWORDS MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I CHECKED TO MAKE SURE THE GAS CAP WAS ON PROPERLY AND LIGHT STILL DID NOT GO OFF. I TOOK CAR TO GET OBDII READ AND IT STATED THAT THE MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR WAS BAD AND ALSO THE FUEL INJECTORS AS WELL. ONE MECHANIC STATED IT WAS FROM BAD GAS BUT WAS UNABLE TO PROVE IT. I HAVE DONE PERSONAL RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THE PCV IS CLOGGED AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED OR CLEANED. THE CAR PROCEEDS TO RUN "ROUGH" AND STALLS WHEN PLACED IN PARK. I HOWEVER DON'T NOTICE A PROBLEM WHEN IN MANUAL GEAR.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I WILL START WITH THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE. I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE IN MY CAR, BUT THE MECHANIC CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG. MY CAR GOT STUCK AT 3,000 RPMS WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BREAK THE CAR WOULD NOT COME TO A STOP IT KEPT BUCKING BUCKING FORWARD WITH THE ENGINE ROARING. I TRIED PUTTING THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND THAT DIDN'T DO ANYTHING. I FINALLY PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND THE CAR FINALLY STOPPED MOVING, BUT WAS STILL REVVING AT 3,000 RPMS. I FINALLY HAD TO TURN THE CAR OFF. ONCE I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON THE GUAGES WERE WERE SWIPING BACK AND FORTH AND THEN FINALLY I HEARD A LOUD CLUNK AND THEN THE GAUGES WENT BACK TO NORMAL AND THE CAR WAS OKAY. I DID CHECK TO MAKE SURE THE GAS PEDAL WASN'T STUCK I PULLED IT UP WITH MY FOOT, BUT IT WAS UP ALL THE WAY SO THE I KNOW THE GAS PEDAL WAS NOT STUCK. THIS HAPPENED DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC TWICE. I FEAR NEXT TIME I WILL NOT BE SO LUCKY. I'M 21 WEEKS PREGNANT AND I HAVE AN 11 YEAR CHILD THAT DRIVES OFTEN WITH ME. THIS IS NOT SAFE SOMEONE HAS TO DO SOMETHING.

ENGINE
THE ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON AT 67,000 MILES, STRONG JERKING ACTION WHILE ACCELERATING. AT FIRST IT WAS DIAGNOSISED AS HAVING A BAD SENSOR, BUT I'VE TAKEN IT IN FOR REPAIRS NOW 6 TIMES AND I'VE HEARD ABOUT 4 DIFFERENT THINGS, EVERYTHING FROM "NO ISSUES", "BAD KNOCK SENSOR", "EMS SYSTEM ISSUE", "CARBON BUILD-UP ON THE PISTONS", "METAL SHAVINGS IN THE OIL" - IT'S OBVIOUS THAT NO ONE KNOWS WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT BUT IT OFTEN FEELS LIKE THE CAR IS ABOUT TO STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSTATE. ALL PROPER SERVICE/MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN PERFORMED ON THE CAR.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
CAR WAS APROXIMATELY 10 MONTHS OLD WITH 5000 MILES ON IT AND BATTERY DIED ALL OF THE SUDDEN AND CAR LOCKED UP IN GEAR AND COULD NOT BE MOVED.FORTUNATELY I WAS AT A FRIENDS HOUSE AND WAS ABLE TO GET IN OUT OF HEAT.THERE WAS NO INDICATION BEFORE IT DIED THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM IF WAS AT NIGHT I COULD NOT HAVE TURNED ON THE EMERGENCY FLASHERS AND IN ARIZONA HEAT COULD HAVE DIED HAD I NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET INSIDE. TOOK 3 HOURS FOR WRECKER TO COME AND TAKE ME TO DEALERSHIP . I BELIEVE THAT SINCE THIS CAR S ENGINE CUTS OFF WHEN STOPPED AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS THAT THE CAUSES LOSS OF POWER. AM 84 YEARS OLD AND NEVER HAD THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM WITH A NEW CAR

POWER TRAIN
ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS I HAVE ALMOST HAD COLLISIONS BECAUSE MY CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE GOING UP A HILL THE RPM WOULD REV UP HIGH BUT IT SEEMED MY TRANSMISSION SLOWED DOWN/SLIPPING. I TOOK THE CAR TO A LOCAL GARAGE TO BE CHECKED WAS TOLD NOTHING WAS WRONG "WASTED $80 FOR NOTHING" WITH MY CAR BUT I AM STILL HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. WHEN I GO TO CLIMB ANY HILL NOW THE CAR STILL ACTS LIKE IT HAS NO POWER TO GO BUT ENGINE RPMS RUN HIGH AND FEELS LIKE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING AND NOT WORKING RIGHT. I CAN'T EVEN ATTEMPT TO PASS ON HIGHWAY/ROAD BECAUSE I KNOW THIS CAR DOES NOT HAVE THE POWER. THE WAY THIS CAR OPERATES IS CONCERNING TO ME AND IS UNSAFE IN MY EYES.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
IT STARTED WITH THE RADIO TURNING OFF WHILE BRAKING AND THE RADIO CONTINUED TO GO OFF AND ON I CONTACTED GM WHO CLAIMS IT'S NOT AN ELECTRICAL DEFECT? FIRST ISSUE THE CAR CAN BE OFF KEYS OUT OF IGNITION AND YOU CAN PRESS THE ON BUTTON FOR THE RADIO AND IT PLAYS? NOW IT'S STARTING TO DRIVE FUNNY AND MOST RECENTLY IT STARTS WITH THE REMOTE START EVERY TIME BUT WHEN I USE THE KEY IT DOESN'T ALWAYS START? THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE!
