This car does not feel safe to me, I wish I could return it.

Hello, this Sunday my 2013 chevy Cruze while driving an alert came up saying that engine power reduced and other notices. The result was that the car lost power. Thankfully I was on a side street at the time at a slow speed. Most of my driving is on the highway and if this would have occurred at highway speeds which did occur to some people who posted on chevy forums it could be fatal. Gm will not acknowledge this issue and would not cover the cost to repair it. . Read more...

The dealer says that the right cv joint is leaking. Also my steering wheel has a small catch in it when we are driving, wondering if these are related?.

Tl the contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Cruze. When the contact attempted to turn off the vehicle, it failed to turn off. In order to turn off the vehicle, the contact had to take the gear shifter out of the park position three times and then place it back in park. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The failure recurred numerous times. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or an independent mechanic to determine the cause of the failure. The manufacturer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 51,000.

In park at random times the service traction control and service stabilitrak light will come on. The car is real sluggish at take of, I can not leave a stop sign with a car any less than 40-50 car links away without fear of getting hit. When the speed finally starts to pick up it shifts rough at times. The car also feels like it is jumping when in drive and holding the brake.

I have taken my car in with the check engine light. They said it was due to a oil cap. I called and they informed me that they could not find anything wrong. Since then the engine light has been on and off and now the traction control light is on and the engine revs very high.

Wow this is the bad car ever I have a lot first air flow sensor bad pvc valve 2 times new.

At random car will idle up and down and rpms will jump. This happens when just cranked and after driven and sitting still in idle. Also, at random when trying to crank the car it seems to get stuck and I will have to return the ignition in order to get the motor to fully turn over.

While accelerating on city streets, the transmission went into the fourth gear and hesitated to go any faster. I then stopped accelerating but then the transmission slammed into the third gear and revved high until I pushed on the brakes and the transmission slammed back into the fourth gear. This isn't the first occurrence. I haven't taken the vehicle to the dealership for servicing.

Stopped on hill car in drive after a few seconds starts rolling backwards.

Engine light came on , auto zone ran it and code p0299. States it the turbo/ super charger underboost. 81,000 miles. I have only had this vehicle 18 months. I don't race around town in it.

My 2013 chevy Cruze almost got me in a really bad accident. It started when driving about 20 mph (transmission is in d) the car started to loose power felt like its stalling, rpm dropped then suddenly started going into reverse while the transmission is still on d I almost hit the car behind me. I stepped on my breaks and I put the transmission in park but the car surged forward in which I almost hit the car in front of me. I've taken this car several times to the dealership for transmission shifting problems but I felt that it was not completely fixed. The dealer always tells me that theres nothing wrong with the car. But now that I've almost hit 2 cars yesterday without any reason, I feel that the car is completely unsafe to drive and my wife even told me that she will never drive this car again. It's just sad to be having this many problems on a car with less than 50k milesyesterday my 2013 chevy Cruze almost got me in a really bad accident.

I bought my 2013 Cruze in June 2014, with around 40k miles on it. In September the car began having issues. At first it was just that the radio and all dash lights would shut off. Then I had multiple service lights that would flash randomly. Those included stabilitrak, traction control, power steering and security system. At one point, while driving in a parking lot, my power steering completely locked up. My car eventually stopped starting. I was stranded at school and had to call a tow truck. When this happened, my key actually got stuck in the ignition. I was able to jump the car after several minutes of trying, but it would not keep power. I had it towed to the dealership, but they were not able to find anything wrong with it (no codes even came up on the computer) and it ran just fine for them. I drove the car home, and the next day had the same problem. This time after about 30 minutes of trying to get the car to start, it did, so I drove it straight to a chevy shop. Again, they couldn't find any codes, but said they replaced some wiring and cleared the computer. I didnt have anymore problems until last week, when it all started happening again. I've had the power steering lock up on me in the middle of an intersection! the weird thing is, when my car doesnt want to start, all I have to do is use the little electrical knob that moves the drivers side seat back and forth, and everything fires up. Gm needs to figure this out because it's bound to kill someone!.

The manufacturer was notified of the issue. The approximate failure mileage was 11,000. The VIN was unavailalbe. Js.

My vehicle was not filed in the recall list but has the same issue as a drive train recall (13v452000). My vehicle when shifting gears completely lost power and no longer goes into 5th or 6th gear. I have taken it to the dealership like gm asked me but unfortunately they informed me that my clutch was not covered. To me this is a big safety issues that could have resulted in my family and I being seriously injured if I was in a different situation. I would like to see my vehicle be fixed like all the other vehicles that was recalled with this same issues, I don't see why if the issues isn't different why my vehicle should be excluded.

Vehicle surges when car is in idle positon (breaking). This vehicle was not in an accident, however during a surge the car bumper went over a parking block that had a tie rod sticking up. When I backed up the car, it pulled the drivers side bumber away from the front end. Also, an engine light goes on when the window defroster is on, stating that the ac is being shut off (ac is not on, the heater is) and shuts down the hvac system.

On 10-1-14 my Cruze eco would not start. After multi tries and hearing only clicking sounds it did start. After getting to my destination and letting the car sit for hours it did the same thing again. Contacted dealer was told to bring car in which I did on 10-3-14. After a week, they stated they showed the alt was not charging and replaced it then again because 1st one they recieved from g. M was defective. On 10-10-14 picked up car started it up went home and let sit for about a hour then tried to start and again it only clicked but this time there was 3 messages and one was to roll window up and down? why? does these Cruzes have electrical issues or computer issues? contacted selling dealer again and was told to bring it back which I did on 10-13-14. Waiting on my new Cruze again to be fixed and wondering why do these 5 star Cruzes have so many problems according to what I have been reading the last few days without g. M doing something. I am not satisfied with this car.

My vehicle is part of the NHTSA campaign id number 14v151. This right front axle problem has been known since at least March 2014. I was notified in June 2014 of the recall. The dealer still has no parts to fix the subject vehicles (even ones that have failed). Others like me are afraid to drive on long trips with the known unsafe condition. Still others are afraid to drive their vehicle at all. This is atrocious and needs to be dealt with immediately.
