| 2013 | SERVICE BRAKES | I PURCHASED A 2013 CHEVY CRUZE ON MAY 13, 2013 TEST DROVE THE CAR AND BRAKES WENT TO THE FLOOR. SALESPERSON REFERRED IT TO THE MECHANIC. I DIDN'T EVEN MAKE IT OFF THE CAR LOT. HE SAID HE BLED THE BRAKES AND ALL IS WELL...STILL HAD TROUBLE WITH THE BRAKES AFTER I WAS AT A STOP SIGN AND MY CAR LUNGES FORWARD. I PRESSED ON BRAKES HARDER TO STOP. TOOK CAR BACK ON THE 28TH AND TOLD MECHANIC WHAT HAPPENED AND HE AGAIN CHECKED THE CAR OUT AND SAID HE COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. HE SAID HE TESTED ANOTHER NEW MODEL AND SAID HE HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH THAT CAR. THESE MECHANICS ARE IGNORING ANY CONCERN BUYERS HAVE... PUTTING OUR LIVES AND FAMILY MEMBERS IN DANGER. THE ABOVE INCIDENT HAS HAPPENED AGAIN ON OCCASION AND THE FACT THAT THESE MECHANICS TALK DOWN TO YOU AND MAKE YOU FEEL "PLAIN STUPID" HAS PROMPT ME TO INITIATE THIS COMPLAINT IN HOPES SOMETHING GETS DONE. *TR |
| 2012 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL | CAR RESPONDS ERRATICALLY AND UNPREDICTABLY TO PUSH ON ACCELERATOR PEDAL. ON ABOVE DATE IN ATTEMPTING TO BACK UP SLOWLY ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS PUSHED WITH DELAYED RESPONSE, THEN FOLLOWED BY EXTREME MOTION BACKWARD HITTING FENCE, DAMAGING FENDER. AT OTHER TIMES CAR FAILS TO ACCELERATE OUT OF WAY OF ON-COMING TRAFFIC CAUSING NEAR COLLISIONS WITH LITTLE OR NO RESPONSE TO PEDAL MOVEMENT. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WITH THIS SIX MONTH OLD CAR. MY FRIEND HAS SAME MODEL WITH SAME PROBLEM. AS PER CHEVY SERVICE MANAGER WHO WAS TWICE CONTACTED ON THIS: A) HE TOOK A NEW CRUZE HOME TO DRIVE FOR SEVERAL DAYS TO INVESTIGATE THIS COMPLAINT FROM OTHER CUSTOMERS AND HE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM, B) SAME PROBLEMS ARE BEING REPORTED TO OTHER CHEVY DEALERS IN HOT CLIMATE AREAS OF COUNTRY. CHEVY SERVICE MANAGER SAYS PROBLEM IS KNOW TO GENERAL MOTORS, BUT NO FIX IS AVAILABLE - ALL TESTS ON SEVERAL OTHER NEW CRUZE MODELS BROUGHT IN FOR SERVICE WITH SAME PROBLEM SHOW THAT ALL SYSTEMS AND ELECTRONICS ARE WORKING NORMALLY. HE'S NOT SURE WHAT GENERAL MOTORS WILL DO ABOUT IT. THIS IS APPARENTLY A MAKE/MODEL SPECIFIC PROBLEM THAT IS NOT BEING ADDRESSED AS NO PRO-ACTIVE WARNING INFO HAS BEEN RECEIVED BY US FROM GENERAL MOTORS OR THE CHEVY DEALER. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND NO ONE IS TAKING ANY RESPONSIBILITY. PLEASE INVESTIGATE BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. THE LACK OF OFFICIAL WARNING FROM GENERAL MOTORS IS MORALLY OUTRAGEOUS!! *TR |
