2014 Chevrolet Cruze acceleration problems

Filed Sep 15, 2025 · Acceleration, Electrical · TX

The steering wheel keeps locking up while driving fast/slow or turning. Everything shuts off, then back on and all codes flash. My car literally locks up, it’s really unsafe when I can’t control the vehicle. Almost hit another car, due to steering wheel locking up. Only thing I was told at the Chevy dealer house was there were no recalls. So they wouldn’t look unless they got to charge me. This issue started happening about five months ago. And I drive like a grandma.

What happened 1. A dashboard message has been popping up since December 11 on my 2014 Chevy Cruz car. I only have 77,000 miles on it. The message indicates “service tracking control “ 2. I took the car to the dealer and they said they did a number of repairs and I was charged 900. Some odd dollars to fix some parts to re-Zoll Veve the tracking control issue. 3. I let them know that that message kept coming back up. 4. After several times of taking it back to the dealer paying another $78 for another part they still do not know what the problem is. 5. The main concern is that the message displays over the digital speed control and I cannot determine how fast I am driving. The dealer does not know how to fix this problem. It is a safety concern because I cannot tell how fast I am driving I have I cannot get this problem fixed, and the dealer does not know how to resolve the problem.

I have had my 2014 Chevy Cruze for 2 years now and have kept up with regular maintenance. My vehicle rocks back and forth while on the brakes, there’s an constant issue with the traction control system, my automatic lights don’t work (I have to many turn on the light in order for the brake lights to turn on), the vehicle shakes side to side when braked, and so much more. When I take the vehicle to be looked at every mechanic and shop tells me there’s nothing wrong or they don’t know.

I entered a grocery store parking lot and drove to the far end to park. As I was pulling into a spot and slowed to about 2 or 3 miles an hour to stop the vehicle and exit the car it suddenly took off at a very fast speed. I could not stop it using the brakes. The car went up and over a grassy island that had about a foot of frozen snow(ice) on it. The car flew off the island and continued at this high speed heading toward a hill. As this was happening I was trying to stop the car using the brake to no avail. By the grace of god the car stopped about ten feet before slamming into the hill. A tow truck was called and the car was taken to our mechanic. Upon completion of the repairs needed to the items damaged under the car I am able to drive it again. The mechanic's invoice reads run away car and lists these repairs: throttle body and /or gasket--remove and replace & clean - 1.4l eng.turbocharger, accelerator pedal - remove and replace - accelerator foot pedal.
