Vehicle Shudder Problems of Chevrolet Cruze

Bought 2015 Cruze lt used in 2017 from lhm used car supermarket. 3 months later I'm returning to dealership as there is a large quantity of dexcool on the ground. Still under warranty they replace the water pump. 3 months later and the vehicle starts shaking and shuddering while at stop lights looses power and even stalls on the highway. Took it to mechanic outside the lhm perview and mechanic stated: leaking coolant on transmission housing and pooling there drain plug stripped out causing massive oil leak and pcv bad needs replaced. The new mechanic replaced the oil pan and gave estimates for the parts and labor for the pcv and the coolant leak. Now don't get me wrong I love my Cruze but I was told id be close to what I owe on the car to repair it as Chevrolet will not do a recall on the massive issue parts, there is only 59,213 miles on the vehicle. Someone from Chevrolet needs to look into this and either fix the issue or make some sort of recompense for those who are having the same issue as I am.

Vehicle was shaking profusely on local street, did not accelerate beyond 5 mph, and had a 'stabilitrak' error code. Barely made it back to the driveway. Had it towed to a dealership and confirmed piston/cylinder problem, which will require a completely new engine. Bought it used in 2018 (with 54k miles) from a dealer, but was not made aware of service bulletin pip5421; and the mfg'ers warranty is no longer valid as there is over 90k miles (but still within 5 years). Dealer indicates it will cost $9500 to put new engine in, and we still owe on it. . . . Worthless car!.

I just had work done on the engine for the 5th time in the last 2 years. All repairs are related to the engine overheating or not regulating properly. The first time there was smoke coming from the engine. The repairs to the engine have cost me almost $3000 and that is not including normal maintenance. The most recent issue is the turbocharger bypass valve. I had it replaced on 6/27/20 and the light came back on with the same code on 6/28/20. When I had work done at the chevy dealership in August/September of 2019 I was told that this is a common problem they are seeing in almost all chevy Cruzes. I've been told this at 5+ different device centers while getting repairs done on the engine or general maintenance done. The car hasn't even reached 100,000 miles and I'm being told I probably need a new engine. This is not ok. I've bought and repaired this car at chevy dealerships. All my engine issues happen when the car is in motion, and the car shakes a lot due to the engine overheating even though the temperature gage reading is normal. Some of my repairs were done with the wrong VIN number recorded. The repairs were recorded under my 2014 chevy Cruze. It shared the same license plate but the 2014 Cruze was totaled in 2017.

My car started shaking, smoking and licking while driving. At first in the dealer told I won't be able to drive the car like that. Now after 3 days without answer they wants to take the car without fixing the car. I'm scare to drive a car that is shaking. I'm very concerned about my life safety.

The service stability track light came on all of a sudden and the car was shaking. My warranty team out at 63000 miles, and I was only at 93000. I had to have the injector replaced and they said I also have to replaced the valve spring cover. The mechanic said this is a known issue with chevy Cruze and that gm knows of the issue, but refuses to issue a recall. In just my area, one dealership has sold 300 injectors and valve spring covers recently. I do not have several thousand dollars to fix a problem that gm is aware of. There is no reason I am having to fish or this much money and my car isn't even over 100,000 miles and is less than 2 years old. Something needs to be done with gm.

When leaving a grocery store, roughly 2 miles, my husband said the gas peddle clicked. Moments later, the car started shifting weird. Would not get past first gear. Second gear made the car super shaky and then it shut off. When restarting, car would drive normal for a minute then act up again. We would put it in neural and coast it with no problems until it died again. When we got home about 30 minutes later, I pulled the code and it was pulling O2 bank 1 sensor 2. Car is at the dealership now. Waiting for a call on the diagnosis.

Tl the contact owns a 2012 Chevrolet Cruze. While driving, the check engine indicator illuminated. The contact stated that the vehicle jerked and shuddered, and the transmission shifting was affected. The contact provided the dealer (turner Chevrolet, 1251 paxton st, harrisburg, PA 17104, (866) 629-7151) with engine codes: p015b (O2 sensor delayed response for oxygen sensor) and po171 (bank 1 system 2 lean). The dealer was supposed to call the contact back to explain the codes. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 96,600.

I have had numerous issues with this vehicle, with today ending in loss of power while doing 70mph on interstate 95n. Prior to this issue, my dashboard and radio would flicker on and off, then the message "service stabilitrak" would pop up and go away. This morning while driving on 95n my vehicle lost all its power causing me to pull off onto the shoulder. My car cut off and would not cut back on for about two minutes. When I cut it back on, my car began to shake and code p0723 (speed sensor) popped up. This nearly scared me as I could have ended up in a major accident. Now, my car is at the shop and the transmission has died. I see numerous complaints on the same issue but no recall released. I will be without a vehicle and upside down on my car now. I have complained to Chevrolet before about my vehicle randomly shutting off, but I guess this will not go noticed until the worst happens.

I have been having several issues lately that are not covered under warranty with my car. Power train issues, stability issues, sensor issues. These issues have happened on and off and some have been fixed before and they keep getting worse. The car starts shaking really bad when I am driving. It does not feel safe.

This complaint is regarding 3 issues since my vehicle purchase mid April of this year. The vehicles mileage at purchase was 7 miles and currently has approx. 6100 miles on odometer. The 3 issues are: #1) regularly while driving my vehicle at approx. 45-50 mph there is a steady humming noise coming from the engine compartment on the drivers side that last about 30-45 seconds. #2) also while driving my vehicle in traffic and coasting without pressing gas or brake going approx. 5-10mph the engine will shutter and cause the car to shake. The engine feels like its going to stall but I always press the gas petal so it continues driving without stalling since I'm always on the freeway when it occurs #3) involves the same or similar driving environment as issue #2. This issue occurs while coasting at various speeds unlike issue #2 where the cause feels like it could be the engine this is more like the transmission slipping into different gears mostly downshifting since the car suddenly jerks back as though you slammed on your brakes for a second and it regularly happens only while car is coasting at various speeds which I'm regularly doing since I drive down the cajon pass sitting in traffic every day, while coasting it happens almost every 90-120 seconds. On 7/21 I contacted my dealership and received a appointment for 7/22 since these issues could cause something very serious to happen to my wife or myself. Though I have not had my car looked at by my dealership yet, I still wanted to make this report to insure that other owners are aware of the issue I'm facing, and this hopefully gets investigated thoroughly (by a third party) before someone gets seriously injured in a accident.

Driving on the highway at roughly 70mph when car shuddered, and lost power immediately. After this the car would not accelerate. Fortunately there were no vehicles directly behind me, so I was able to p;ull over to the side of the road. The check engine light was illuminated and the dashboard read three errors: "engine power is reduced", "service traction control", "service stabilitrack". After turning the car off, waiting, and turning back on the vehicle worked correctly, but the issue occurred after another 15 minutes on the road. I drove in the right lane the rest of the way home to ensure our safety, and this occurred 4 times in total. This was an extremely dangerous situation during a busy holiday travel weekend. Had this occurred at the wrong time, this could have been catastrophic. Quick research online has shown this to be an issue with the make and model, as many other people have reported this exact defect.

While pulling into parking space crawling into position the brakes failed and the car vibrated and lunged forward crashing into a brick wall. The brake pedal went all the way to the floor the car then began to vibrate then accelerate forward hitting brick wall. I believe that the turbo charge engaged because of the vacuum boost failed causing the turbo to engage. Filed complaint with gm no luck said it was driver error. Needless to say we are repairing the car then trading in. I have contacted local media can't seem to get any help. We have been loyal chevy owners for over 20years never again. I think the public needs to be warned before someone gets killed. If someone was walking across the front of the car they would have died.

The contact owns a 2012 Chevrolet Cruze. While stopped, the vehicle vibrated and jerked forward without warning. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the issue. The failure mileage was 5,000.
