On many occasions the car would be at a stop and start shaking violently, then it would stall out no matter where I was. The engine light came on so I went to see what it was, at first I thought it was the air filter, changed that, then it was the mass airflow sensor changed that then it started doing it again, then it was the O2 sensor and it worked for a day or 2. Now if the AC is on it shakes violently again and if I am at a stop it still will stall out.

Bought 2015 cruze lt used in 2017 from lhm used car supermarket. 3 months later I'm returning to dealership as there is a large quantity of dexcool on the ground. Still under warranty they replace the water pump. 3 months later and the vehicle starts shaking and shuddering while at stop lights looses power and even stalls on the highway. Took it to mechanic outside the lhm perview and mechanic stated: leaking coolant on transmission housing and pooling there drain plug stripped out causing massive oil leak and pcv bad needs replaced. The new mechanic replaced the oil pan and gave estimates for the parts and labor for the pcv and the coolant leak. Now don't get me wrong I love my cruze but I was told id be close to what I owe on the car to repair it as chevrolet will not do a recall on the massive issue parts, there is only 59,213 miles on the vehicle. Someone from chevrolet needs to look into this and either fix the issue or make some sort of recompense for those who are having the same issue as I am.

My car acts as if it is going to stall out at 20mph, it is automatic and the car jerks violently when in motion and can be on and off. My first code that popped up was for a misfire, the second for servicing the traction control system. This happens when the vehicle is in motion and goes over 15mph. Once I get to the desired speed it'll stop jerking as bad but if I slow down a little and speed back up it starts all over again and does not feel like pushing the accelerator is making the car move at all. I repeatedly press on the gas and let go to try to get it to stop but continue in motion. It has gotten worse over the week and I have changed the spark plugs and checked for leaks.
