| 2011 | ENGINE | I BROUGHT MY NEW CAR IN FOR A OIL CHANGE ON 5-15-12, THEY FORGOT TO PUT THE OIL CAP BACK ON AND I HAD OIL EVERYWHERE INSIDE MY CAR IT WAS A COMPLETE MESS, I DID NOT KNOW IT WAS SMOKING BECAUSE IT WAS A RAINY AND FOGGY NIGHT. BY THE TIME WE PARKED IT WE THOUGHT IT WAS ON FIRE, MY HUSBAND CHECKED THE OIL AND IT WAS EMPTY, WE GOT TOWED BACK TO CHEVY OF MILFORD TO BE FIXED AND CLEANED, THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS OIL IN IT AND ONLY A LITTLE CAME OUT.[NOT TRUE] I DON'T REALLY THINK THE CAR RUNS THE SAME AFTER THAT, IT SPITS AND SPUDDERS ALOT. ON JULY 23RD 2012 I BRING IT BACK TO THEM FOR A RECALL # 12081. AND ASKED THEM TO ALSO CHECK WHY MY CAR SPUDDERS AND TO CHECK FOR A SLOW LEAK IN THE BACK TIRE. THEY GOT BACK TO ME LATER THAT MORNING AND SAID, THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE WAY IT DRIVES, AND MY TIRE CANT BE FIXED I WOULD HAVE TO BUY ANOTHER FOR $125.00 BECAUSE OF WHERE THE HOLE WAS IT COULD NOT BE PATCHED. I TOLD THEM NO ON THE TIRE AND TOOK IT TO A TIRE PLACE, TOWNFAIR TIRE TOOK THE SCREW OUT OF IT WITCH THEY DIDN'T FIND [CHEVY OF MILFORD] AND PATCHED IT FROM THE INSIDE AT N/C. ON 7-24-2012. I REALLY DON'T FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR ANYMORE AFTER CHEVY OF MILFORD LOOKED AT IT TWICE AND CAME BACK WITH 2 LIES. I DON'T EVEN TRUST THAT THEY DID THE RECALL FOR ALL I KNOW. WHERE DO I GO FROM HERE? PLEASE HELP, I HAVE 2 SMALL GRANDCHILDREN I DRIVE AROUND IN THIS CAR. *TR |
| 2012 | ENGINE | TO BEGIN WITH,I HAVE HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH MY 2012 CHEVY CRUZE AND HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE RUNAROUND. MY FIRST CONCERN IS THAT I BOUGHT MY 2012 CHEVY CRUZE ON 09/18/2012 AND WAS NOTIFIED DAYS LATER OF A MAJOR SAFETY RECALL ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF ENGINE FIRES FROM FLUID SPILLS. I FIND OUT THAT THIS RECALL WAS ANNOUNCED ON 06/22/12.(NHTSA CAMPAIGN #:12V288000) WHY WAS I SOLD A VEHICLE THAT WAS UNDER RECALL FOR 3 MONTHS? AND WAS NEVER EVEN MENTIONED PRIOR OR POST SALE. ONSTAR HAD TO NOTIFY ME AND THEN I HAD TO GET IT FIXED. MY SECOND CONCERN IS THAT THERE IS AN COOLANT SMELL IN THE CAB OF THE VEHICLE AND ALTHOUGH NOT ALWAYS NOTICEABLE, IT IS MORE NOTICEABLE IN COLDER WEATHER. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER AND THEY PLAYED STUPID AND SAID THEY DON'T SMELL ANYTHING AND THAT THE SMELL COULD BE A "DIRTY CABIN AIR-FILTER"? NOBODY WANTS TO SMELL COOLANT WHEN DRIVING!! MY THIRD CONCERN IS THAT WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A DEAD STOP OR ACCELERATING AFTER LETTING OFF THE GAS FOR A SECOND THE VEHICLE ALMOST ALWAYS SHIFTS ROUGHLY. TOOK TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT ITS PROBABLY JUST THE "TURBO KICKING IN". MY FOURTH CONCERN IS ABOUT THE RECALL (NHTSA CAMPAIGN #:12V288000) MY VEHICLE(WHERE THE ENGINE SHIELD WAS) IS ALREADY RUSTING AND IS A VERY BIG CONCERN WITH THE FUTURE OF MY VEHICLE(EVEN AFTER WARRANTY PERIOD) RUST NEVER GOES WELL WITH A VEHICLE! I'M CONCERNED THAT PARTS WILL WEAR PREMATURELY BECAUSE OF THIS! NOT TO MENTION THAT I AM GETTING LESS MPG SINCE THE SHIELDS BEEN REMOVED. NOW TODAY I GET ANOTHER MAJOR SAFETY RECALL ABOUT MY BRAKES.(NHTSA CAMPAIGN #:13V360000) WHICH WOULD EXPLAIN WHY MY BRAKES SOMETIMES REQUIRE ME TO PRESS THEM REALLY HARD ALL THE WAY DOWN TO STOP IT. IT CURRENTLY SITS AT AROUND 26,000 MILES, I AM THUS FAR VERY DISSATISFIED WITH THE VEHICLE. I DON'T KNOW MY OPTIONS BUT KNOW THAT IF THINGS DON'T START LOOKING BETTER, I WILL NEVER BUY CHEVY OR RECOMMEND CHEVY AGAIN. *TR |
