Car Will Not Start problems of the 2014 Chevrolet Cruze

Tl- the contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Cruze. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds the vehcile would not properly accelerate while pressing the accelerator pedal. Eventually one day the vehicle would not start or turn on. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer hurd Chevrolet located at 1705 hartford Ave johnston ri. Who reprogrammed the engine control module and serviced the wire harness. The contact indicated recently the failure reoccurred and the vehicle would not start. The manufacturer was not notified of the failures. The failure mileage was 21,000. Jft.

Had started noticing that when I would start my car my radio would sometimes take a long time to come on. Eventually woke up one day to start my car and it would not start. This should not be happening because the battery is not even a year old. Used my portable jumper to charger and took it to get read and it was not the battery. I was told that there was an electrical drain that was still charging my battery even after it was turned off. The second issue is when I am driving and go to give the car gas and the car would not immediately accelerate causing to me to almost be hit twice. I had to give it gas a second time in order for it to accelerate.

After purchasing the 2014 Cruze on July 29, 2014, I drove it to my residence which was for 6 miles and parked in my driveway. I placed the shift level in the park position and set the emergency brake. My grand daughter, age 16, asked if she could test drive the car. After entering the vehicle, she released the emergency brake and attempted to start it. The car would not start and unknown to her while attempting to start, the vehicle slowly went backwards into the street. The shift lever in the vehicle was stuck in park and would not move and it would not start. I called on star and asked them to run a test on the car to see what was wrong with it. The lady came back with no known problems from their test. I asked and she called a tow truck to return the vehicle to the dealer. The Cruze was repaired the next day. The problem was identified with a defective shift cable. The casing around the shift cable at the transmission cracked causing cable not to release leaving transmission in free mode. I was upset and angry with the dealership and gm because the vehicle broke down in the first 6 miles. I then checked for recalls on the vehicle and found gm recall number 14048 and NHTSA recall 14v092, which identified my defect exactly, but did not include my VIN in the recall order. I called gm and expressed my concerns they assigned a case number and a very nice lady called and asked what would make me happy. My main concern was the safety of my family and other people who have bought the Cruze with a defective shift lever cable. Once a part is identified as defective it should no longer be used and it should be replaced on all manufactured vehicles. I was offered a replacement vehicle by the dealership and gm but I declined the offer.
