| 2011 | AIR BAGS | TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET CRUZE. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WITH THE ENGINE IN OPERATION AND SHE NOTICED THE SPEEDOMETER DISPLAYED A READING OF 100 MPH. THE SIMILAR FAILURE OCCURRED SPORADICALLY AND WOULD FLUCTUATE IN THE MILES PER HOUR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER THREE TIMES AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DETECT THE MALFUNCTION. THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE THE COMPUTERIZED SYSTEM WAS REPROGRAMMED. IN ADDITION, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR WOULD NOT ILLUMINATE WHENEVER THE FRONT SEAT OCCUPANT WEIGHT WAS 120 POUNDS. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 16,000. |
| 2011 | POWER TRAIN | THE CAR HAS PROBLEMS WITH ACCELERATION. IT POSES A SAFETY CONCERN ESPECIALLY WHEN CROSSING TRAFFIC AND OR PASSING ANOTHER CAR. YOU CAN BE DRIVING THE CAR AND IT WILL LITERALLY LOSE POWER- AND THEN YOU HAVE TO PRESS THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR- AND HOPE IT GOES. SOMETIMES THE CAR WILL SOUND AS IF IT IS IN IDLE MODE WHEN IN DRIVING THE CAR. WHEN YOU START THE CAR AND BEGIN DRIVING IT JERKS AND IT LUNGES- IT FEELS LIKE YOU ARE BOUNCING AROUND. THE CAR STILL HAS ITS MANUFACTURES WARRANTY AND I HAVE HAD IT AT THE DEALER'S AUTO SHOP ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS- ONE GUY THERE BELIEVES SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE CAR BUT IS NOT ABLE TO FIND WHAT IT IS. UNFORTUNATELY, I AM TOLD THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR AND THAT IS THE "CHARACTERISTICS" OF THAT CAR DUE TO THE TURBO. I DISAGREED. I BELIEVE IT POSES A SAFETY ISSUE- I HAVE NEVER TOLD MY MOTHER BEFORE THE FOLLOWING ABOUT A CAR. "IF I DIE IN THIS CAR SHE BETTER START LOOKING AT GENERAL MOTORS." I HAVE NEVER FELT SO UNSAFE IN A CAR- AND THE MAIN REASON I PURCHASED THE CAR WAS FOR ALL ITS SAFETY FEATURES. IRONIC. I HAVE READ THE SAME COMPLAINTS ON THE WEB- UNFORTUNATELY IT WILL NOT BE ADDRESSED UNTIL SOMEONE IS EITHER DEAD OR SERIOUSLY INJURED FOR GM TO ADDRESS THESE COMPLAINTS. *TR |
