2013 Chevrolet Cruze driver assistance complaints
Page 2 of 3: complaints 11 to 40 of 63, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Service stabli trac and service traction control come on. Car is 'chugging' when in motion and then dies. Ignition coil get burnt out. This is now the 3rd time in a month.
The stablic tract, the engine, the engine slows down, the power steering, the engine module has blowed I have had problems with the car day 1, I bought from jda automotive on garners ferry road. I have been taking car to chevrolet in columbia,sc harbison . They repaired recalls but soon as repair they send a signal to car to tear up .the car come to complete stop causing me to need neck brace it also is tearing up the thread on tires. And people are blowing horn and also hitting me in back everywhere I go I have to use emergency blinking lights.
I bought my car from a used car lot in march. After about 2 weeks, I started having issues with the cruise control, after a few months, the cruise switch had to be replaced because it stopped working all together. During the time I've had the vehicle, I've had to replace the thermostat control, as well as a coil in the engine. For the past 2-3 months or so, I'll be driving down the highway and the service stability track will show up, with the traction control and the check engine light blinking. My car wont let me speed up, and it will slowly slow down. If I have my cruise on when this happens, the car's RPM will shoot up in an attempt to get back to the speed I had it set at. After about a minute with the lights on, the check engine light will stop blinking and the car will go back to normal (the traction light wont turn off until I turn off the car). I have taken my car to my mechanic, and his computer shows code uo100, which is "lost communication with engine control module", which is a very general code and could come from anywhere. He cannot figure out what is wrong with it. The wires seem connected properly, and everything seems fine, other than the light issue. It happens while I'm driving down the highway, at any random moment. It occurs at least every 3 days, if not everyday.
The car would become hard to steer and control. Abs and traction control in stability control warning lights flashing. This happens without warning can happen at any speed highway ore city. The times this has occurred was on the highway. (this is a tsb I later found but the could easily caused a crash on accident)
My car is a danger the engine power slows down when driving causing another to hit in the back power steering light displays, stabilize tract and engine power, I have already had one hit and run accident.I took car to chevrolet dealership harbison rd columbia sc they just half repair it someone may die if car continue to power down.
Went out and started car up. Car was shaking and service stabilitrac and service traction control were on the dash screen. This happened back in december as well and then the car eventually stopped working altogether.
While driving the car on an off ramp the display panel showed 3 warning light, ABS, traction control, and brake. The communication panel, where the speed and all communications about the car are given, then said reduced engine power and my car slowed down and my power steering stopped working. The panel then also said service stabilitrak and service traction control. It has happened more than once since I bought the vehicle and the dealer replaced the the ECM a few years ago and it hasn't fixed the issue as it still occurs. The most recent event happened last week.
Driving last night from work to home at [xxx] around 7pm, I started getting messages in my cluster such as service stabilitrak, service traction control and engine power is reduced. Just suddenly my car lost all the power and throttle when I was travelling in a highway around 70 MPH on the second fastest lane. It was very scary and dangerous situation once my throttle was complete unresponsive and could find myself at the middle of the highway at 5mph . My instinct was to turn on the hazard lights and try to move the car to the slowest lane as safe as possible. I feel lucky that no one hit me in the back and I consider that I was lucky to have this problem at this time of the evening. Luckily I was able to take the exit [xxx] and from there park the car to evaluate it. I could not find any visible defect either internally or on engine compartment. I turned off the engine and on several times and still had the same cluster messages and derated power. I was still able to drive the car safely to the parking lot of [xxx] looking for a safer place to wait for my insurance company. When waiting for the aaa operator I was able to re-start the car with no display message but only with the engine check light on. I drove the car in the parking lot and noticed the car seemed to be ok. Once on that time I was still waiting for the aaa operator I decided to take [xxx] and I was able to safe arrive home. Checking the symptom I had in google and youtube I learned about the problem with the negative battery cable which is already known by the federal safety agency and gm. I hope my incidence can be investigated and a decision for recall be taken.I don't see any difference to what experienced with the ignition switch topic therefore this issue should be considered as potential recall.

Vehicle shuts off while driving losing complete power and steering! So dangerous and deadly! Taking the car in today, car also riding rough and misfiring. All maintenance done every 3,000 miles. This car has had one problem after another and this last one could have killed my teenager daughter! It stopped on her 5 times on the freeway!
"takata recall"- the dash lights cut off while driving. The streering wheel locks up while the car in driving at 70mph. Messasge about the electrical stability control pops up.
Ok so I needed a new car and went and ended up at a nice looking used car lot and financed a 2013 chevy cruze lt. Since purchasing the car. (at this moment I've only had the car for 23 days) I had the car looked over by my mechanic and everything looked good and fine. And since day 1 these are the recalls that have been made on this vehicle but not for my VIN but is happening with the car in order from when first noticed. First I was stopped at a red light and the car jerked forward and honestly scared me as it felt like I had just been hit by the car behind me. ( which wasnt the case as I got out to check). Well then after a few days im on the interstata and decided to use the speed control, at first it was just like you would expect it to be but after not even 5 minutes the car starts acting like in tapping and releasing the gas and will not stop unless speed control is turned off or stopped. So then I run over a nail and go to replace the tire and the mechanic looks over the car again and bring an oil leak to my atttention from the oil pan and shown visible oil on the gasket. (already under my limited dealer warranty). So since then I have checked the oil every day just to be sure im not running low and it wasnt low. Well like a week later I make a drive I have actually made in this car about 6 times already to have lunch with a friend and when I get there turn the car off and then the friend is 10 min away so I restart the car for the AC. Didnt have the car back on for 2 min and the car started beeping with engine overheat warning. Turned the car off and popped hood to check and from the overheating I guess there was pressure on the hose it just popped the hose from the clamp and coolant went every where. Had been away from the car and car was cooled and added more coolant to it. And everything is fine. Well then the next night out of no where the head gasket blew
The vehicle has been going to anti theft mode and took it in they found coolant reservoir leaking thermostat leaking along with the drive belt has coolant on it causing it to squeak according to chevrolet car seems like when I'm driving it it feels like its moving fwd on it's on when I have my foot on brake at a complete stop. My car is at 143,000 miles on it
Car shuts off completely.after 10 minutes will restart.steering locks up while drivng.stabli control comes on.loss of almost al l power.happen in driveway.while driving turning .loss of power so that car wont move.
I went to the dealership service center where I bought my car because my stabilitrak was turning on and off on their self si I report it and when I was there they told me my coolant had a leaking and need to be replaced as long some hose and other parts as water pump that a was also under a recall to but they charged me $ 697.95 where they shouldn't cuz I was a recall cover under special warranty my car have so I report it to gm where an investigation is being done to they can refund my money and I have proof of all was done to my car because I feel is an abused toward chevrolet jersey city, nj doingvthis to me and imagine how many they already had done it. Something need to be done immediately... If paperwork need to be provide I have it to be fax.
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 chevrolet cruze. While driving 65 MPH, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact stated that the vehicle restarted itself immediately. In addition, the electronic stability and traction control warning indicators displayed temporarily. Pellegrino chevrolet in westville, new jersey was made aware of the failure and stated that the failure was no longer under recall. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 97,000.
Power steering went out while making a turn in a parking lot and both power steering light, and stabili trak light came on. I could barely control the steering wheel. Later that day car was back to normal.
Hello, this sunday my 2013 chevy cruze while driving an alert came up saying that engine power reduced and other notices. The result was that the car lost power. Thankfully I was on a side street at the time at a slow speed. Most of my driving is on the highway and if this would have occurred at highway speeds which did occur to some people who posted on chevy forums it could be fatal. Gm will not acknowledge this issue and would not cover the cost to repair it. There are many discussions about this issue at this google search https://www.google.com/search?q=chevy+cruze+throttle+body+reduced+power&oq=chevy+cruze+throttle+body&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j69i59j0l4.5323j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=utf-8 I feel like gm should take care of this and a recall should be issued so that this does not cause serious accidents for others.

I was driving my car on city street when all of a sudden, it lost all power. The car slowed down and I was stuck in a turning lane at a busy intersection.
Driving and when I hit a bum the car started to go slowly
I am writing asking for you to look into what I call endangering to motorist in our state, more so of a danger to me. I am forced to drive w/ something connected to my body, vehicle, or anything they can possibly connect to a tool utilized by our law enforcement agencies. The tool is used to do undercover work/investigations which I was told it's used by special investigations for the police department. As I am driving, I have to tell them while driving not to put that on my car, move that off my brakes (which sometimes my vehicle wouldn't stop I had to press down all the way to the floor for it to stop and my brakes aren't bad, they even have something setup to when I am breaking, slowing down and about to turn that it locks up my breaks and causes the care to do something like a jerk thing or instant stop, they have moved it to the back of my car which moves the opposite way my vehicle is being steered and it spins out only on one tire). They have created an illegal setup which has damaged my vehicle that's being repaired today. When driving they place it my brakes which sometimes don't stop, they have others driving at the same time as I am and it effects the driving of others, they move my vehicle which is steered the opposite direction I am controlling it, it can cause you to crash, it's huge distraction. The other motorist on the road as I am have tried helping some have admitted to driving w/ this connected to them purposely and are to intentionally cause an accident, they said it's a "game". With the help of some from the little rock police department, and fbi they are given the where about of certain individuals and they are to cause an accident. The setup alone can cause you to crash. I have motorist who spoke up and tried helping me as I am on the highway and those who are controlling it, which are individuals who work for our local law enforcement.
In park at random times the service traction control and service stabilitrak light will come on. The car is real sluggish at take of, I can not leave a stop sign with a car any less than 40-50 car links away without fear of getting hit. When the speed finally starts to pick up it shifts rough at times. The car also feels like it is jumping when in drive and holding the brake.
I have taken my car in with the check engine light. They said it was due to a oil cap. I called and they informed me that they could not find anything wrong. Since then the engine light has been on and off and now the traction control light is on and the engine revs very high.
My chevy cruze stability track control system malfunctions and my car loses power and I lose steering control and must pull over on the freeway. It has happened 5 times. Plus my stereo goes out. My chevy dealer said it is not covered because my warranty has expired. Must pay over $400 to repair the faulty indicator. This is a huge safety problem because it can happen when I am on the freeway going 65 MPH and my car decelerates down to 40 MPH and I could crash? It has happened twice on the freeway and three times on the city street.
Since purchasing my car it has done strange things with what I thought was the breaks. When stopping at a light etc.. The car will jump forward.. Sometimes only once and others it does it over and over until I accelerate again. I took it to the dealership where I purchased it. David maus in sandford fl. The service tech took a ride with me.. He stated that he's heard this from other chevy cruze owners and it's just what these cars do. It did demonstrate the jumping, thrusting forward while the service tech was driving. I was not happy with this answer but believed he knew what he was talking about. Yesterday I get in my car and it will hardly go. The service stabiltack light was on. Then every light on the dash came on. Obviously I understand things go bad on cars as it's 4 years old. But after reading hundreds of these complaints online I believe this is a problem with these cars that can be dangerous. And it's unbelievable to me that there is no recall after all the reports and complaints. When it jumps hops thrust forward you never know if it's going to be a little or a lot. This problem has been ongoing with no help from the certified mechanics. I put the date as 2013 because as I said it's been on going and now it's completely broken. Which could have been prevented had the mechanics helped me in 2013
While driving, power steering locked up, car turned off and then back on. The radio turned off and then back on and close driver window lit up. This has happened on 4 different occasions now. Steering locked up while on I-95. Radio on and off while turning onto highway and window message while car was stationary.
While driving to work on the highway my radio will turn off and on multiple times and my stability control will turn off and it will be hard to turn the vehical. A warning comes on the information screen saying check stability control and also check power steering. It has happened multiple times it have happened today as well as I was driving on the feeder
While driving on the highway steering locked up. Two day after power steering light and stabilltrak lights were on
3/22 -- on my way to work (a brief 5-mile drive), the 'check engine' light came on and a warning about the stabilitrak system appeared on my dashboard display screen. The engine power was automatically reduced, and my car would not go beyond 25-30 miles per hour. Fortunately, I had exited the highway and had just turned left onto a surface street. At the time, it was raining, but not heavily. This was the first time that I had started my car that day, so the engine was fresh. I was able to make it to work; however, when I left work a couple of hours later, the 'check engine' light and stabilitrak warning were still displayed. I drove straight home. 3/23 -- when I started my car, the 'check engine' light and stabilitrak warning were still displayed. I ran a couple of errands around town, and nothing changed. I decided to 'rest' my car for a day or two while I researched the situation and figured out a plan. 3/25 -- when I started my car, the check engine light was still on, but the stabilitrak warning was gone (I.e., my dashboard display appeared as it normally would, except for the 'check engine' light). After I had driven my car to make a couple of stops around town, the stabilitrak light came back on. 3/26 -- there were no warning lights displayed at all when I started my car; I was able to drive my car around town during the morning with no warning lights coming back on. 3/27 -- when I drove to work, the 'check engine' light and stabilitrak warning were not on when I started my car; however, they did came back on just as I arrived at work (about 5 minutes after I had started my car). For safety reasons, regardless of whether the warning lights are displayed or not, I have taken care to drive only when I absolutely need to, only on surface streets, and with my speed at or below 25 MPH. This is obviously not sustainable long-term.
I have two complaints on my vehicle, 1.several times the vehicle went into a loss of engine power mode where it was in an idle position with no ability to accelerate, the display showed loss of engine power, no stabiltrack and check engine light. The vehicle would transition to a loss of power mode on the main road, I had to turn the engine off, wait about 60 seconds and restart, my power was restored, this happened on 3 occasions. 2. The second complaint is regarding the low coolant level, I brought the vehicle to a certified dealer and they put the coolant system under pressure and detected no leak, they added coolant since it was very low and asked me to leave the car with them for a day or two and suggested it may be the radiator. I refused and asked them to add a dye to the system that would indicate the leak path and I would return the next day, they refused.
