THE DRIVERS SIDE WIPER WOULD NOT WORK WHEN STARTED TODAY WHILE IT WAS RAINING WHILE PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY. I TOOK THE COVER OFF OF THE ESCUTCHEON ABOVE THE WIPERS TO SEE WHY THE ARM WAS NOT BEING DRIVEN BY THE MOTOR. THE ARM MOVED FREELY BACK AND FORTH ON THE WINDSHIELD. THE SHORT ARM FROM THE WIPER MOTOR TO THE DRIVE PLATE FOR THE WIPER WAS OFF. THE ARM WOULD NOT SNAP BACK IN PLACE. IT APPEARS THAT THE PLASTIC KNUCKLE HAS FAILED. WHEN SEARCHING FOR WIPER FAILURES IN THE CRUZE MOST OF THE COMPLAINTS WERE FOR THIS IDENTICAL FAILURE. MANY OWNERS WERE DRIVING ON THE ROAD WHEN IT FAILED AND I WAS FORTUNATE THAT IT FAILED BEFORE I LEFT FOR WORK AS IT WOULD HAVE FAILED WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. THERE ARE NO RECALLS LISTED FOR THIS DEFECTIVE PART. SINCE IS AN IMPORTANT SAFETY ISSUE I DETERMINED IT IS BEST TO MAKE THIS FORMAL COMPLAINT. THE PART NUMBER FOR THE WIPER LINKAGE IS 95971326 AND THIS IS WHAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE ATTACHED PHOTOS SHOW THE ARM OFF IN #1 AND #3 WHILE #2 SHOWS THE POSITION WHERE IT IS NORMALLY.

THIS CAR HAS MANY PROBLEMS. I AM SURPRISED IT HAS NO RECALLS. THE PROBLEMS START TWO YEARS AGO. THE VALVE COVER STARTED LEAKING. OIL WAS EVERYWHERE. GOT THAT REPLACED BUT IT HAPPENED AGAIN, AND THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN. APPARENTLY THE PCV VALVE IS BUILT INTO THE VALVE COVER. WE ARE ABOUT TO BE ON OUR 4TH VALVE COVER. IT'S CURRENTLY INOPERABLE. THE WATER PUMP HAD TO BE REPLACED, THE WHOLE ENGINE HAD TO BE REPLACED. THIS CAR IS A MONEY PIT, AND ANYONE WHO HAS EVER BOUGHT IT SHOULD BE REFUNDED FOR REAL. IT'S A PIECE OF CRAP AND HAS HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS, AND CAUSES NOTHING BUT STRESS. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHEVY EVER AGAIN.

WE HAVE PUT OVER 3,000 DOLLARS IN THIS CAR AND ONLY HAD IT A YEAR AND HALF. EVERY TIME WE FIX A PROBLEM SOMEONE ELSE IMMEDIATELY GOES WRONG. WE ARE CURRENTLY ON THE 3RD TURBO, REPLACED COILPACK FOR A MISFIRE, REPLACED PLUGS, PVC VALVE AND COVER, DIFFERENT HOES TO THE ENGINE, SENSORS. IT HAS 110,000 MILES ON IT. ITS MY DAILY DRIVE TO WORK AND ITS BEEN BROKE DOWN HALF THE TIME IVE OWNED IT.

I HAVE A 2014 CHEVY CRUZE (1.4L TURBO). I TURN MY CAR OFF AND IT DOESNT MATTER IF I REMOVE THE KEY OR NOT MY CAR WILL TRY TO START ITSELF. WHEN THIS STARTED MY CAR STARTED RUNNING REALLY BAD. IT IDLES IRREGULAR AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS CAME ON GIVING ME CODES FOR THINGS LIKE FUEL INJECTORS AND 02 CENSORED AND MAP CENSORS ALSO THE MASS AIRFLOW SENSOR. I HAVE REPLACED ALL OF THESE ALONG WITH A CLEAN AIR FILTER AND THE IDLE TENSION PULLEY IT STARTED SQUEAKING. THIS FIXED NONE OF THE ISSUES. CODES ARE STILL COMING UP FOR PARTS THAT'S REPLACED. I'M PAYING ON A VEHICLE THAT'S NOT SAFE TO DRIVE.

SOMETIMES WHILE DRIVING, IF YOU HIT THE BRAKE OR HIT THE WINDOW SWITCH, THE POWER TO THE RADIO PANEL AND DRIVERS DISPLAY WILL CUT OFF, SOMETIMES THE "SERVICE STABILITRAC" SIGNAL WILL COME UP AND THE POWER WILL COME BACK ON AFTER A FEW SECONDS, WHEN THIS HAPPENS IT WILL ALSO CUT POWER TO THE POWER STEERING, IF YOU ARE NOT PREPARED FOR IT OR YOUR NOT AWARE OF THE SITUATION IT CAN SURPRISE YOU, IT CAN BE ESPECIALLY STARTLING WHILE TURNING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN POWER CUTS OUT AND YOU HAVE TROUBLE STEERING, THE CAR WILL STAY RUNNING AND THE POWER WILL CUT FOR A FEW SECONDS, AND THEN EVERYTHING WILL GO BACK TO NORMAL. LOOKING ONLINE THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE EARLIER CHEVY CRUZ. I AM JUST NOT SURE OF THE FULL EXTENT OF THE ISSUE.

UPON LEAVING A STORE THE CAR BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN AS THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL BEGAN TO WOBBLE.

ONCE I EXITED MY CAR I NOTICED THE PASSENGER FRONT WHEEL SEEMED DISLOCATED FROM THE VEHICLE. THEN TRANSMISSION FLUID BEGIN TO LEAK FROM THE UNDER THE CAR OF THE DISLOCATED WHEEL. IN THE PICTURES THE CAR IS PARKED STRAIGHT BUT FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL IS TURNED OUTWARD.

I RECENTLY HAD AN ISSUE WITH MY TURBO BECOMING DEFECTIVE THAT I LATER FOUND OUT THE PART WAS ON A NATIONAL BACK ORDER AND THAT THE MANUFACTURER KNEW THAT IT HAD A MANUFACTURING FLAW CAUSING MULTIPLE TURBOS TO BECOME DEFECTIVE. THIS IS A COSTLY PART TO REPLACE AND WITH IT BEING ON A NATIONAL BACK ORDER HAS CAUSED A MAJOR INCONVENIENCE THAT HAS ALSO TRIGGERED MULTIPLE PARTS TO GO OUT LIKE MY IGNITION COIL AS WELL AS MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER THIS HAS ALSO CAUSED MY CAR TO OVERHEAT. AS OF RIGHT NOW THERE IS STILL NO NEWS ON WHEN THIS PART IS GOING TO BE AVAILABLE, WE ARE ONLY TOLD THAT THE PART IS BEING REMADE TO SUSTAIN THE STRESS OF THE EXTRA WORK THAT WAS NOT ORIGINALLY PLANNED FOR OUR ORIGINAL PART TO SUSTAIN.

MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN HAVING ISSUES WHERE IT WILL TAKE EXTRA TIME TO GET IT STARTED UP. WHEN I FINALLY DO GET IT STARTED, WARNING LIGHTS FLASH SAYING POWER STEERING SYSTEM, THE ANTITHEFT STAYS ON, AS WELL AS THE ENGINE MANAGEMENT LIGHT. I JUST HAD MY CAR SERVICED NOT TOO LONG AGO FOR A COOLANT LEAK ON THE ENGINE HOSE. I HAVE ALWAYS KEPT UP WITH OIL CHANGES AS WELL AS ALL OTHER FLUID LEVELS CHECKED REGULARLY. I FIRST BEGAN THINKING IT WAS THE BATTERY, HOWEVER I HAVE HAD THE BATTERY TESTED AND IT IS STILL BASICALLY NEW.

MULTIPLE DASH AND SYSTEM FAILURES RESULTING IN STALLS AND LOSS OF STEERING AND POWER. ESSENTIALLY LOCKING UP. VERY DANGEROUS CONDITIONS IN TRAFFIC. MOST RECENTLY DASH INDICATING ANTI-THIEF DETERRENT SYSTEM WARNING. THESE CONDITIONS HAVE HAPPENED OVER THE LAST FULL YEAR. DEALER DIAGNOSIS WAS NILL. I HAVE BEEN HAVING TO REVIEW PUBLIC VIDEOS FOR HELP. MAY OR MAY NOT BE A NEGATIVE CABLE BATTERY ISSUE BUT CHEVROLET HAS YET TO RECALL THIS! I AM FEARING FOR MY SAFETY.

WHEN THE VEHICLE COMES TO A STOP THE HEADLIGHTS START TO GLITCH, THE RADIO GOES OFF AND A WARNING FOR THE STABILITRAK COMES ON AS WELL AS A POWER STEERING WARNING. ONCE THE CAR COMES TO A STOP INTERMITTENTLY IT WILL GO COMPLETELY DEAD AND THE NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE IF TAPPED ON WILL CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO COME BACK ON WITH NO ISSUE. BATTERY HAS BEEN REPLACED AS NEW BUT ISSUE STILL OCCURS

IT STARTED WITH THE RADIO TURNING OFF WHILE BRAKING AND THE RADIO CONTINUED TO GO OFF AND ON I CONTACTED GM WHO CLAIMS IT'S NOT AN ELECTRICAL DEFECT? FIRST ISSUE THE CAR CAN BE OFF KEYS OUT OF IGNITION AND YOU CAN PRESS THE ON BUTTON FOR THE RADIO AND IT PLAYS? NOW IT'S STARTING TO DRIVE FUNNY AND MOST RECENTLY IT STARTS WITH THE REMOTE START EVERY TIME BUT WHEN I USE THE KEY IT DOESN'T ALWAYS START? THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE!
