general problems of the 2011 Chevrolet Cruze - part 2

The driver owned a 2011 Chevrolet Cruze. The contact stated that the driver was traveling approximately 65 mph when the vehicle began to steer independently causing the contact to travel off the road. The driver was unable to control the vehicle which resulted in a crash. A police report was filed and both the driver and passenger were reported injured. The vehicle was destroyed and towed to an insurance lot. The contact was not sure if the failure had been diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileages were unknown and the VIN was unavailable.

I would like to put in a complaint on my chevy Cruze 2011. Since purchasing it, there have been 3 recalls due to steering and engine. I have had to bring the car into the dealership 3 separate times for the recalls beginning one month after purchase. Now, the car has had 2 separate major problems (engine & currently back at the dealership for problem related to transmission), this vehicle has broken down once while in heavy traffic, but luckily I was able to pull to the side of the road, and the second time it broke down was on a street less heavily traveled, however, I was almost rear ended. If this would've occurred while on a heavily traveled or faster speed zone, I feel that a terrible crash would have happened. Both times may have resulted in serious injury or even death. I do not feel safe in the vehicle and would rather it sit in the driveway than to risk driving it. I lease the vehicle, but I would like to know any options for getting out of this lease & getting into a safe car. Thank you!.

2011 chevy Cruze manual transmission 6 spd. Random occurrence of speedometer spikes digital and needle (anywhere from 20-120 mph), volume on radio will also spike with this issue. When speedometer spiking the steering wheel will also unwontedly move 1/2 - 2 inches left or right every time which could distract/startle driver leading to a possible accident. Chevy refuses to look for a problem that "isn't there". As stated by dealership without code or a tech witnessing it. Occurrence happens when rolling at slow speeds (0-7 mph) or stopped with clutch engaged or slowly being released. Happens, 10-15 times+ a month. Has startled me several times once including me letting off the clutch and stalling the vehicle from being startled. Vehicle assembled: lordstown,ohio mileage when first noticing this issue: 78. 0 current mileage, issue still occurring: 18,749. Seen dealership :3 times about current issue.

While driving my new 2011 chevy Cruze on highway 10 in minnesota, with out any warning or any other indications the steering wheel fell off in the hands of the driver. We crossed several lanes of traffic and finally got the car stopped just inches from hitting the guardrail.

The car's transmission stalls and hesitates since the 1st day I got the car. I found out today that my car has four recalls! and I have not been notified in any way by chevy of them one of which is the streeing wheel can come off while driving. While driving today 09/28/2011 the car came to a random and complete stop in the middle of the road and would not move forward at all.
