| 2011 | POWER TRAIN | I HAVE A CHEVROLET CRUZE, I BOUGHT IT IN OCTOBER OF 2010; AFTER A FEW MONTHS I DISCOVERED THAT MY CAR WAS SHIFTING ROUGHLY. I ALSO NOTICED THAT MY CAR WOULD NOT GAIN SPEED AT A NORMAL RATE. I HAVE FOUGHT FOR 2 YEARS TO HAVE MY CAR INSPECTED AND REPAIRS TO BE DONE; NOTHING HAS COME OF IT YET. I NOTIFIED GM WITH THE ISSUE AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD PUT IN A NEW TRANSMISSION. I WAS ALSO NOTIFIED THAT THE ISSUE WOULD PERSIST, IT IS THE WAY MY MODEL TRANSMISSION WORKS. I KNOW THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN, MY CAR HAS ALREADY LEFT ME STRANDED ONCE. I BELIEVE THAT GM IS GOING UNDER THE RADAR AND JUST TRYING TO APPEASE ME WITH A NEW TRANSMISSION. I ALSO BELIEVE THAT MORE CAN BE DONE FOR THE PROBLEMS THAT PERSIST IN MY CAR AND GM IS REFUSING FOR IT TO BE DONE. MY CAR IS A SAFETY HAZARD FROM THE NUMEROUS RECALLS TO THE TRANSMISSION AND COMPUTER DEFECTS. GM IS TRYING TO PUSH ME INTO ACCEPTING AN AMOUNT THAT IS LESS THEN HALF OF WHAT I HAVE PAID INTO THE CAR OR TAKE THE TRANSMISSION. I HAVE NO OTHER OPTIONS FROM THEM. I WOULD VERY MUCH APPRECIATE SOME GUIDANCE IN THIS MATTER. THANK YOU *TR |
| 2012 | STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST:POWER STEERING FLUID | 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 |
