general problems of the 2011 Chevrolet Cruze - part 2

I was in stop and go morning rush hour traffic going aprox. 10 mph. I pressed the brake to stop slightly more than one car lengh away from the car in front of me. The brakes felt soft and I had to press the brake pedel all the way to the floor to get it to respond. The brakes did not catch all the way, they only slowed the car slightly (to aprox. 5mph) and I rear-ended the car in front of me. I had the brakes, fluid, and electrical/computer components checked, and they could not find anything wrong with the car.

This has happened on several occasions. First of all just to make you aware, this has only happened on a cold start for the vehicle. I am at an incline, it may even be a slight incline, I go to put my car in reverse, and I lose my breaks. This specific incident that I am reporting almost caused an accident. I was leaving a mall parking lot, and I went to stop at a light, and my car would not stop no matter how hard I pushed on the breaks. Almost causing me to hit the car in front of me. Upon that happening I made a call to the dealership in which I purchased the vehicle, and took the car in the same day. They kept my car for seven days, and told me there was nothing wrong with it.

While driving 2011 Chevrolet Cruze the service lights for abs and stabilitrak begin intermittently illuminating at the same time, remaining on for random periods of time.

The contact owns a 2011 Chevrolet Cruze. The contact stated that the became spongy and was abnormally depressed all the way to the floorboard before the vehicle responded. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who advised that they could not find any failure with the brakes. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified who offered no assistance. The failure mileage was 13,930.

When in reverse the brakes were pushed to the floor but the car continued to roll backwards. It was put into drive and back into reverse and they worked properly. Vehicle was taken to dealership but issue could not be recreated. Problem continues randomly, mostly when the car has been used, parked, and then used again (coming home from work). On 6-22-12 the car was backed out of the driveway and put into drive, while my husband pulled up to our mailbox the brake was pushed down to the floor and the car continued to roll.

I was notified in October 2013 of the gm safety recall #12213 but that parts are not available yet. I am experiencing the game issue state in the recall. I found information online about the recall dated August 2013. We are approaching one year to that information and I still have not been notified that replacement part is available. The brake issue progressively gets worse as time goes by. My concerns are when the part will be available and why it is taking so long when safety is on the line.

When on a cold start , and backing low speed . . . The brakes go to floor and barely stop vehical. . . Was told by gm that the brakes are going through check, and it is normal for brakes to go to floor and not stop vehical.

Vehicle was in the park position, when the key was turned in the off position the car started to roll backward down a hill dragging my child with it.

No brakes going forward or backwards but only for a few seconds, always have full pedal and the harder you push/force they slowly bring vehicle to stop. My wife and I have almost hit pedestrian's and vehicles.

When at a stop and when I go to take off car rolls backward. This car has a automatic trans, but act like a stick trans, I bought this car new off lot. And first brakes keep locking up like something is in it. But if I roll backward it disengages . I've taken it to the dealer a couple of times due to this issue and they also heard it but never could find anything. I really like this car but it falling apart from day one. . I keep it serviced like I am suppose to.

We purchased and took possession of a new 2011, chevy Cruze on wed. , March 30th. First new car in 11 years and we were thrilled. Thrus. , March 31th, my husband almost rammed thru the store front of a shop. . . . . Stopping inches before the main entrance. . . . . . Fri. , April 1st, we went thru a stop sign into the middle of an intersection and on April 2nd I had a car full of women coming home from a luncheon. Luckily, I pulled off the road to adjust the temperature because it was too warm. I was only doing about 20 mph and stepped on they brake to find I was also stepping on the gas pedal, just my husband had done the other 2 times. I was lucky I was able to shove it park. Trust me, we r taking the car back to the dealer Monday, April 4th and do not know what the response will be. In the mean time, we r afraid to drive the car. Have there been any other complaints on this type of vehicle. I would feel awful if anyone gets hurt or injured because I have not brought to everyone's attention??????.

The failure mileage was approximately 3,000. Updated 06/24/11.

The contact owns a 2011 Chevrolet Cruze. The contact stated the transmission was reprogrammed, but the failure was not corrected when the vehicle lost power while accelerating at any speed. The brake pedal extended to the floor when the brakes were applied. The vehicle moved backwards while the brake was depressed causing the contact to crash into a vehicle. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer who did not replace any parts and advised the contact how the vehicle was designed. The failure mileage was 150,000 and the current mileage was 752,000.
