I have been up there date for fixing this vehicle for the last 4 years when i bought it with 60k miles , I have replaced multiple parts so far from foil pump , wheel, coolant pipes and the container many times from constant leaking in the fuel pump, I have replaced the alternater twice by 70k miles , ABS system failed many times and no one can fix it , Lastly , my daughter was driving to school and while she was driving on the roundabout in the outer lane . She tried to turn the steering wheel t take the exit and everything got locked on her immediately from steering wheel and the break paddle caused he car shift to the curb and hit the side walk because it went out if control because the tire split out the wheel along with another piece from wheel behind the tire , almost killed my daughter on the seen . I had spent in this At least $10k and now it barely passed &100k Just unbelievable. This car is piece of trash no safety in this car now I parked the car and I’m trying to think what to do with it. I will take it back to the GM and the Chevy dealers and I’m complain because even the dealers for the GM and Chevy are the worst people to deal with and the worst customer service. They’re not helpful at all. I have went to local shops. They do better job but the thing is this car is piece of crap Replacing and go back. I am not spending any more penny on this car now I have to get a brand new car for my daughter to go to college she needs it better or don’t sell more cars. This has to be a trust immediately as my daughter career relying on transportation, And I am not claiming my insurance to fix the damage on my vehicle because my insurance will raise my premiums and there was no other car involved because she was on the roundabout on the side lane and she had to hit the curb because the car kept going and has no control but luckily she wasn’t going on the inside lane on the roundabout otherwise she’ll be hitting another vehicles from losing control

I was crossing a highway when my 2015 chevy cruze started to shake violently and experienced a loss in power, the engine warning light was then displayed across my dash, I managed to limp it home and then took it to the mechanics the next day. The mechanics checked the codes and found that, a engine misfire was detected, the fuel injector control mod was not available, or there was a communication problem, the electronic brake control lost communication with the engine control module, the digital radio receiver controller was not available, or was experiencing a communication problem, and the instrument control panel was displaying failures in ambient air temperature sensor circuit, and lost communication with the HVAC control module. It turns out that due to a manufacturer error (chevy/ general motors) that the cars ignition coil towers had burned off on cylinders 2 & 4 and had taken out the spark plugs as well. So due to this manufacturer error, not only was everyone in my vehicle placed at danger, but I also had to get everything replaced for a total of $432.80 a couple of days after finding out I had been layed off of work.

While driving all of sudden traffic began to slow eventually all vehicles stop this car did not stop until it had to be also most floored; then as we start to proceed the vehicle did not want to move it was in drive all the way; it just started to vibrate an not actually moving with acceleration; then with increase acceleration it got out of the vibration and began to move forward; then we smelt something as burning; all this happen while we were driving on a busy three lane one direction traffic street; we call it stop and go; there are traffic lights, and you must go when its time to go on "green". If not this can cause and accident.
