I have an lt cruze model 2011. The brake pedal feels soft (as if the brake fluid has some air in it) causing the car not to respond normally to brakes and it very evident is the slower speeds. The problem started after about 2000 km from use. I have a friend (who owns another cruze) and was driving my car and commented that the brakes feels "weared"! I complained during both the 5000 and 10000 km service but nothing was found wrong as they claimed. Now I have to concentrate very much during traffic speeds to not make an accident!!! This is a constant attitude of my car and I do not know what to do? P.s: there was another problem of a very strange and loud noise during braking while moving backward, but this was repaired by changing the calipers of rear brakes.

Tl*the contact owns a 2011 chevrolet cruze. The contact stated the transmission was reprogrammed, but the failure was not corrected when the vehicle lost power while accelerating at any speed. The brake pedal extended to the floor when the brakes were applied. The vehicle moved backwards while the brake was depressed causing the contact to crash into a vehicle. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer who did not replace any parts and advised the contact how the vehicle was designed. The failure mileage was 150,000 and the current mileage was 752,000.
Tl*the contact owns a 2011 chevrolet cruze. While driving approximately 3 MPH the contact applied pressure to the brake pedal. The pedal dropped below the accelerator pedal and extremely close to the floor board. The vehicle also jerked forward. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where they were unable to diagnose or duplicate the failure. The failure recurred intermittently on four different occasions. The contact taped a block of wood on top of the brake pedal to raise the brake pedal 1 1/2 inches to prevent it from falling below the accelerator pedal. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 50. Updated 06/09/11*lj the consumer stated there was very little room between the accelerator and brake pedals. So when the consumer applied the brake, his foot also hit the accelerator pedal, which caused the vehicle to lunge forward. Updated evoq. 06/15/11 updated 07/11/11

We purchased and took possession of a new 2011, chevy cruze on wed., march 30th. First new car in 11 years and we were thrilled. Thrus., march 31th, my husband almost rammed thru the store front of a shop.....stopping inches before the main entrance......fri., april 1st, we went thru a stop sign into the middle of an intersection and on april 2nd I had a car full of women coming home from a luncheon. Luckily, I pulled off the road to adjust the temperature because it was too warm. I was only doing about 20 MPH and stepped on they brake to find I was also stepping on the gas pedal, just my husband had done the other 2 times. I was lucky I was able to shove it park. Trust me, we r taking the car back to the dealer monday, april 4th and do not know what the response will be. In the mean time, we r afraid to drive the car. Have there been any other complaints on this type of vehicle. I would feel awful if anyone gets hurt or injured because I have not brought to everyone's attention??????
