One problem related to transmission failure has been reported for the 2016 Chevrolet Cruze. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2016 Chevrolet Cruze based on all problems reported for the 2016 Cruze.
While the engine is running, the transmission suddenly and without warning fails. Car is in gear but doesn't move. First occurrence was when car was parked in the morning and put into reverse to blackout and second occurrence was a couple weeks later when stopped at a red light. Turning the car off for a few minutes seems to temporarily correct the problem. I am worried the transmission will fail suddenly while in an intersection or other dangerous situation.
