| 2012 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | THIS STARTED THIS WEEK, THE ELECTRICAL PARTS (RADIO, SPEAKERS, TURNING SIGNAL CLICKER, AC ETC) WILL CONSTANTLY FLICKER OFF THEN COME BACK ON AFTER ABOUT TEN SECONDS, EVERY TIME I HAVE THE CAR RUNNING. THE STABILITY WARNING WILL SOMETIMES GO ON BUT WILL EVENTUALLY GO OUT. THE SPECIFIC INCIDENT OCCURRED THE THE 27TH OF AUGUST WHEN I WENT TO TAKE A LEFT TURN, ON TO A HIGHWAY. WHEN I WENT TO MAKE A TURN MY POWER STEERING LOCKED UP AND ALMOST CAUSED ME TO HIT A PASSING CAR AND GET REAR ENDED. IT SPECIFICALLY LOCKED UP AT ABOUT TEN MILES AN HOUR WHILE PICKING UP SPEED. AFTER I RETURNED TO MY PARKING LOT IT LOCKED UP AGAIN AND CAUSED ME TO HIT A BARRIER, SLIGHTLY DAMAGING THE FRONT BUMPER. SINCE THEN MY POWER STEERING WILL SOMETIMES LOCK UP MAKING IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO TURN. *TT |
| 2013 | POWER TRAIN | I DECIDED TO TRADE IN MY MALIBU AND LEASE A 2013 CRUZE FROM GLOBAL CHEVROLET, RT.22, NORTH PLAINFIELD, NJ. IN MARCH OF 2013. I BEGAN NOTICING THE PROBLEM WITHIN A FEW WEEKS. IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, THE CAR LUNGES FORWARD AS YOU ARE SWITCHING FROM THE BRAKE TO THE ACCELERATOR. WHILE BRAKING, THE BRAKES SEEM TO FREEZE UP AND THE CAR KEEPS ROLLING, AT TIMES 20 FEET BEFORE STOPPING. I HAD THE CAR INSPECTED BY THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE AND SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG; "NEW TECHNOLOGY, COMPUTERS, DOWNSHIFTING" IS HOW THEY EXPLAINED IT. I KEEP A LOG IN MY CAR TO RECORD EACH TIME THIS OCCURS, AS IT DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERY DAY. HOWEVER, IT HAPPENS ENOUGH THAT I AM CONCERNED THAT EVENTUALLY THIS SITUATION WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND SERIOUS INJURY. IT WOULDN'T SURPRISE ME THAT IN THE NEAR FUTURE THERE WILL BE A RECALL REGARDING THIS PROBLEM OR I SINCERELY HOPE THERE WILL BE. *TR |
