| 2013 | POWER TRAIN | STOPPED AT STOP LIGHT ON SLIGHT INCLINE. RELEASED BRAKE PEDAL AND VEHICLE ROLLED BACKWARD, NEARLY STRIKING VEHICLE BEHIND ME. TOOK VEHICLE BACK TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD THIS WAS NORMAL. EXPERIENCED SAME CONDITIONS ON INCLINE SEVERAL MORE TIMES. TOOK TO DIFFERENT CHEVROLET DEALER AND WAS TOLD THIS WAS NORMAL. CONTACTED GM AND RECEIVED CALL BACK. THEY SPOKE WITH SERVICE MANAGER AND ASKED ME TO TAKE IT BACK IN. I TOOK SERVICE MANAGER WITH ME AND PERFORMED SAME ACTIVITY TWICE. VEHICLE ROLLED BACKWARDS WHILE IN DRIVE AFTER STOPPING ON INCLINE AND RELEASING BRAKE. WHILE ROLLING BACKWARDS THE TRANSMISSION JUMPED AND THE VEHICLE DIED. HAPPENED BOTH TIMES. I TALKED TO GM CORPORATE CUSTOMER SERVICE SEVERAL MORE TIMES. SERVICE MANAGER ASKED ME TO BRING VEHICLE BACK IN TODAY (OCT. 21). I REPORTED SAME STORY AND LEFT VEHICLE AT DEALER. THEY CALLED ME BACK AND SAID EVERYTHING WAS NORMAL. I TALKED TO GM AGAIN AND REPORTED EVERYTHING. CALLED MY AUTO INSURANCE COMPANY AND REPORTED ISSUE. THIS ISSUE CONTINUES TO OCCUR AND I AM FEARFUL THAT THE VEHICLE MAY ROLL BACKWARDS INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE OR A PEDESTRIAN. I CAN ANTICIPATE THIS CONDITION WITH A MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND A CLUTCH, BUT CAN NOT SAFELY HAVE ONE FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND THE OTHER ON THE GAS WITH AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. *TR |
| 2014 | STEERING | WHILE DRIVING AT HWY SPEEDS THE STEERING WILL APPEAR TO STICK OR NOT RESPOND. IT FEELS AS IF THERE IS NO RESPONSE FROM THE MINOR INPUT FROM THE STEERING WHEEL. THEN YOU PUT A LITTLE MORE INPUT IN THE WHEEL AND THE CAR APPEARS TO CATCH UP TO THE COMMAND GIVING IT MINOR SWERVING FEELING. IT SEEMS TO BE QUITE COMMON WITH CRUZES. I HAVE FOUND OVER 100 COMPLAINTS ON ONE FORUM ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THE POSSIBLE UNSAFE CONDITION. *TR |
