Car Stall Problems of Chevrolet Cruze - part 1

When vehicle is sitting in auto-stop mode, releasing the brake and pressing the gas pedal will randomly cause vehicle to stall. I have taken it to different Chevrolet dealerships and no one can figure out the cause of it and they cannot replicate the issue. (the mechanics are not driving the vehicle long enough for it to happen. ) this happens more often during summer months, but has happened over the 2020 winter. I have to put the vehicle in park, turn it off and back on to get the car moving. This is especially dangerous if I am trying to turn in front of oncoming traffic.

Vehicle has stalled 4 times now in the past week or so. It has passed inspections at firestone and the oil change shop and there are no areas with suggested maintenance or repairs. The vehicle stalls after being in park or having my foot on the brake and not moving, and then attempting to accelerate/move again. All 4 times I have been on a level street or parking lot, with the wheels straight, after the engine had been running for several minutes up to an hour. I have to put it in park, turn off the vehicle, and then restart the engine again to continue driving.

The engine was acting up. It felt like it wasn't getting the gas to shift gears. It felt like it was going to stall out. Took it to the shop and they replaced the knock sensor and did a tune up. The issue continued so we had to take it back again. We was told the piston melted and put a hole in the block. We bought it brand new, have taken it for all repairs and oil changes, the car has less than 90,000 miles. We are being told these cars have these issues and to join in a lawsuit because the motor needs replaced.

Vehicle stalls sometimes at lights and stop signs. Only happens after we've been driving for 30+ miles or more. It doesn't matter if it's highway or city. When it stalls, no dash lights come on, it doesn't idle improperly and there is no warning that the vehicle is going to stall. When I take my foot from the brake at idle and apply it to the gas to move through a green light or stop sign after stopping is when it stalls. I have replaced the valve cover and intake (two weeks ago) and the problem is still occurring. Idle does get a little worse with air conditioning on. I've put $2000. 00 into this car this year for this same problem. I've visited three different mechanics. Nobody can figure out why this is happening. It's been happening unpredictably since we purchased the car in 2016.

Car stalls at intersections. The auto stop feature goes from "auto stop" on the dash to "off". Problem occurs as you are moving foot over from brake to gas and causes the car to turn off. Have to put car in park and completely restart the engine by turning the car off and then back on. Typically happens when in an intersection/at a stop sign and have to come to a complete stop. Has happened before in many settings- city stop light, city stop sign, highway traffic, highway stop sign, etc. Super unsafe because car is unable to move and shut off in the middle of the road for about 10 seconds. Happens at least 1 time a day. Many other Chevrolet Cruze users have been posting in forums that it has happened to them as well. Could cause accidents. Makes the driver feel unsafe and uneasy every time they get in the car to drive because there is a fear that it will stall out/break down at every intersection or stop that is made throughout the drive.

We will be driving and all of a sudden the car stalls out. It has been doing this for 6 months but recently it has gotten a lot more frequent and I had my battery tested and it's not that. Also, my windshield wipers work but they are stuck in the upright position. I took it to a dealer ship and they said it was the motor and it was over 300. 00 to fix it.

I have purchased this vehicle used in July of 2015 from the Chevrolet schumacher dealership located in north palm beach, florida I currently have 61,939mi. My last oil change was in 12/2016 and is due at 64,000mi. To date I have had numerouse issues with this vehicle from installing new spark plugs, brakes that sound like an amtrak train, and now my engine light comes on and my bumper-to-bumper warranty is already expired at like 33,000mi. So now I fall under the power train warranty which covers your engine and transmission. However I am not sure what is causing my engine light to come on, I really dont want to pay $160. 00 for a diagnostic test and then have to pay on top of that $800 for an issue with my engine. I shouldn't be having these problems especially since it will mark my 2 year anniversary having this vehicle in July 2017. I am very displeased right now and would like this issue to be investigated and that someone from this government agency contact the dealer located in north palm beach so they can find out what exactly is wrong with my car. Something like this should happen to cars that are 5 years old not 1 1/2 years old.

I have noticed that the acceleration takes alot to go from 0-30 mph and when it does the car feels as though it will stall. There is a half tank of gas, and no indication it should be doing this. Oil is changed regularly. This has happened a few times before this incident of today. The gas pedal needs to be almost to the floor for it to even pick up and when it does accelerate it jumps between the gears and the rpm goes beyond 4-5 to get it to even 20mph. I did have an incident when the car stalled as I was in reverse. That happened at around 30-35k miles. I decided to google the acceleration issue and see I am not the only one. My car itself has had 3 recalls fixed.
