1 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 05/09/2026

Coming to a stop sign or red light the car won’t accelerate or will go in traction control making it difficult to move or not accelerate. Had 2-3 fuel leaks this year also having problems to keep the car going sometimes the max speed it will go is 20-40 miles n won’t go up unless u keep letting it slow down slowly n then accelerating n even after that it won’t make it above 60-70 miles it usually goes with no problem if its down hill since ur not pressing the gas or anything. Turning the air on also makes the car slow down other problems also is the gas running fast could just fill the tank n by the second day it will almost be over. Today the transmission gave up on me now I have no car to move around making it hard for me to go anywhere especially work since that’s how I make my money for living but with no car it’s a big problem.

2 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 02/26/2026

Unknown. The car seems to stall or slip when accelerating as is misfiring. It cuts off in the middle of the streets after coming out of auto stop mode. Pcv valve keeps popping up as issue. I had the pcv changed O2 sensors checked cleaned throttle body and air filter changed. The car still gives same problem and engine power reduction keeps popping on dashboard.

3 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 12/16/2023

This is the second time the car will show reduced power and completely come to a slow speed without warnings. Previously gm had issues with the crude pedal and other systems related to the reduce I. Velocity. An investogation on either faulty parts is required as this is a major issue that can or could caused accidents. I had the issue looked and supposedly repair in December 2023 now the issues is back. I was driving in hope meadow road simbsbury CT and the speed reduced without warnings almost causing an accident. The repair has not even been 3 months and the car is faulty.

4 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 09/15/2023

The vehicle first prompted that it had a recorded a misfire in cylinder 1. Changed the spark plugs and coil packs. Vehicle noted a misfire in cylinder 1gain and said service stabilitrak. Changed the pcv valves and other vacuum pieces on the valve cover along with the maf sensor. Engine ran fine on test drive, then dumped oil on the ground as I was pulling back into the drive way. Gasket comes on the oil pan so that’s getting replaced next. Then I have to check the fuel pressure sensors and fuel pump to see if they’re failing because apparently gm has a points bulletin out about them not being so good. Plus hope the engine isn’t ruined when it lost all its oil.

5 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 08/05/2018

While driving my 2018 chevy Cruze the oil light came on, the engine locked up, and the vehicle caught fire. The dealership said that it was due to a fuel line spraying fuel on the engine.
