general problems of the 2014 Chevrolet Cruze

The steering wheel keeps locking up while driving fast/slow or turning. Everything shuts off, then back on and all codes flash. My car literally locks up, it’s really unsafe when I can’t control the vehicle. Almost hit another car, due to steering wheel locking up. Only thing I was told at the chevy dealer house was there were no recalls. So they wouldn’t look unless they got to charge me. This issue started happening about five months ago. And I drive like a grandma.

Transmission won’t shift into gear while driving and the brakes won’t engage when this happens, this will cause a wreck and hurt someone, the codes are showing po700 tcm code.

What happened 1. A dashboard message has been popping up since December 11 on my 2014 chevy cruz car. I only have 77,000 miles on it. The message indicates “service tracking control “ 2. I took the car to the dealer and they said they did a number of repairs and I was charged 900. Some odd dollars to fix some parts to re-zoll veve the tracking control issue. 3. I let them know that that message kept coming back up. 4. After several times of taking it back to the dealer paying another $78 for another part they still do not know what the problem is. 5. The main concern is that the message displays over the digital speed control and I cannot determine how fast I am driving. The dealer does not know how to fix this problem. It is a safety concern because I cannot tell how fast I am driving I have I cannot get this problem fixed, and the dealer does not know how to resolve the problem.

Car all of a sudden started to slow down on the highway throwing all kinds of codes like service stabillitrac, throttle body position sensor, pressure intake manifold and lots of other ones.

I have had my 2014 chevy Cruze for 2 years now and have kept up with regular maintenance. My vehicle rocks back and forth while on the brakes, there’s an constant issue with the traction control system, my automatic lights don’t work (I have to many turn on the light in order for the brake lights to turn on), the vehicle shakes side to side when braked, and so much more. When I take the vehicle to be looked at every mechanic and shop tells me there’s nothing wrong or they don’t know.

The car overheats due to the water pump and coolant leaks .

The car keeps overheating and it has been to the mechanic multiple times and the problem exist. If I get on the highway my transmission hot engine idle light comes on. I have had a transmission replaced and a lot of other things repaired and the issue continues.

Vehicle moves very slow because of turbo failure with a four cylinder.

I entered a grocery store parking lot and drove to the far end to park. As I was pulling into a spot and slowed to about 2 or 3 miles an hour to stop the vehicle and exit the car it suddenly took off at a very fast speed. I could not stop it using the brakes. The car went up and over a grassy island that had about a foot of frozen snow(ice) on it. The car flew off the island and continued at this high speed heading toward a hill. As this was happening I was trying to stop the car using the brake to no avail. By the grace of god the car stopped about ten feet before slamming into the hill. A tow truck was called and the car was taken to our mechanic. Upon completion of the repairs needed to the items damaged under the car I am able to drive it again. The mechanic's invoice reads run away car and lists these repairs: throttle body and /or gasket--remove and replace & clean - 1. 4l eng. Turbocharger, accelerator pedal - remove and replace - accelerator foot pedal.

The driver immediately removed the ignition key to turn off the vehicle. During the failure, the brake pedal was being pressed. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer who was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The contact indicated that the failure had occurred on several occasions. The manufacturer was not yet notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 36,597.

The shifter will not shift from 56th and a manual on the automatic.

No warning turbo failure that cases vehicle to lose power suddenly I was on freeway when engine light came on and a engine power reduced warning came on went to auto zone and they said it was a p0299 have seen a lot of info on the internet net saying that the turbo has gone out this is bad when your at freeway speeds.

Acceleration notably sluggish, taken to dealership for concern 3 years ago with complaints and was told there were no issues. Took car back to dealership this year due to check engine code. Turbo engine defective, going to cost $2200 to repair. Under $60,000 mile power train but just hit the 5 year warranty 2 days prior to calling dealership and gm. Dealership unwilling to offer financial assistance due to missing problem during original complaints 3 years ago. Took car to another dealership, which found additional $2000 in repairs that would need to take place in order for turbo repair to be effective. Car is not safe to drive, with likelihood it would break down in 10 min to multiple leaks and broken parts original dealership missed and failed to discuss. Car now costs $3400 to repair , gm only willing to help with $600. Car too expensive to repair and too dangerous to drive.

Tl the contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Cruze. While stopped at a red light, the vehicle stalled and "stabilizer", "traction control", and a wrench icon illuminated on the instrument panel.

Driving home at 9pm on a high speed/traffic highway, we had all electricity/steering suddenly go out, then when it came back on popped up with a "service stabilitrak " message. Luckily, it came back on before a wreck but scared all of us to pieces. The car was being driven at the posted 70mph speed limit, but started to decelerate when power was lost. This happened on 07/08/19. Today, 07/11/19 we had to jump the car and the turn signals no longer do the little "click" noise, and the dash screen/backup camera won't come on, although the radio still somehow works. Also on lunch break today, car was dead, key wouldn't come out of the ignition till the car was jump started. As this seems to be a major issue with the car, why hasn't it been recalled?.

Tl the contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Cruze. While driving 40 mph, the vehicle accelerated and the trac sensor warning indicator illuminated.

Automatic transmission failure can result in vehicle rolling backwards for 3-5 seconds in duration after releasing brake while. While on flat ground - this causes danger to other driver as the expect other vehicles to be moving after a traffic light turns green. While on an incline - this condition may pose a danger to pedestrians and other motorists as the automatic transmission will allow the vehicle to roll backwards a great distance. The distance and speed of travel backwards will vary based on angle of incline of street or road. When this condition occurs - the driver is completely unaware and may not be able to apply the brake in enough time to prevent collision with other vehicles or pedestrians. This condition happens when: 1 - transmission is hot (about 40 min drive time) 2 - brake is depressed for longer than 3 seconds while sitting at light. 3 - releasing brake may or may not result in this condition happening. Service 1 - the vehicle shows no codes for transmission failure. 2 - multiple gm dealers have confirmed software of vehicle is up to date. 3 - multiple dealers have mixed statements if they can duplicate the issue or not. Dealer 1 says - "it's your driving habits. We reset the computer and it will re-learn how you drive. " dealer 2 says - "we were able to duplicate your issue and are awaiting a response from gm" - when speaking to gm they indicated they never received an email form the dealer. Condition was first seen at approximately 68k miles and has continued on/off until current mileage of 98k. Dealer and gm corporate have had vehicle for greater than 30 days and are unable to provide resolution. As a firefighter - it is my professional opinion that this condition may present a risk to public welfare.

Car will turn off while driving. Ive owned this car for a little over a year and just started doing this 5 times in the last 2 weeks.

In October 2015, I was coming out of the car wash and when I put the car in drive it immediately accelerated very fast. I then stepped on the brake, but it would not stop. It was going so fast that I could not steer it. I went through the parking lot, over speed bumps, over a curb, through a row of bushes and went up in the air instead of going down the hill, and the car dropped very hard in the turn lane of a 4-lane highway in front of the car wash. The only damage I saw was the front and rear tire on the drivers side were flat and had a huge hole in them. Tires.
