I was sitting stationary in traffic when the light changed to green. I prepared to move, the auto stop kicked off and shut my car down. Nothing was on but all the lights on the dashboard. I had to shift into park and restart my car. This was the first time this has happened and it almost caused an accident since the car behind me was not aware that my car had just cut off. Now my car makes a jerk whenever I accelerate or come to a complete stop. Please look into this because this is a true safety hazard and will eventually cause an accident!
2017 Chevrolet Cruze engine complaints

Safety issue is fuel economy under-performance. Fuel economy is overall 9%+,- 1% less than epa estimates under each respective driving condition, across all seasons, and now over 22250 miles driven. Experience with five prior and currently owned gm automobiles (2005, 2007, 2011, 2012, and 2018 models) is that we have always had fuel economy performance met or exceed the epa ratings, city/combined/highway. Both operators use cruise control under most driving conditions at speed of 25 MPH or greater; and have been doing so since initial purchase of the 2017 cruze hatchback premier rs in october 2017. Tires are kept inflated to 35lb n2 cold; top-tier rated gasoline is used for almost all refuelings. Multiple site visit/requests to two chevrolet dealers and consumer complaints directly to chevrolet executive customer assistance to address the underperformance have resulted in "no issue to resolve"/no faults found by diagnostic tests (fuel stoichiometry "normal"), chevrolet customer assistance verbal communication with intermediate responses by phone or email, refusing to provide "closure" responses in writing, though requested. Fuel purchase/mileage record is at epa's fueleconomy.gov and fuelly.com, with estimates of city versus highway usage. Copies of fuel receipts are available upon request; extract of fuelly.com record is at attached pdf.
On several occasions while in traffic the engine shut down for the "auto start" and failed to restart upon releasing the brake. The car stalls completely out at which point I have to place the car in park and start it again before putting it in drive to proceed. While in traffic this is a terrible hazard as the first time it happened, the car behind me instinctively took off as the light changed and by me releasing the brake that indicated "go". In the another instance I was at a light located at the top of a slight hill when the same situation occurred and the same scenario had to be completed in order to get the car to move again. Extremely dangerous. This vehicle is a lemon.
The steering started moving up and in a locked position now the steering wheel and column will come only to your knees. I almost crashed the car when putting on the brakes because the steering wheel goes to the left. Not syre if the air bag will go off as needed.steering wheel when putting on the brake sends car moving to the left. The steering wheel is able to control it can be moved by just a little movement of your hand.
Tl* the contact owns a 2017 chevrolet cruze. The contact stated that while driving at 30 MPH, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was towed to dealer (bryner chevrolet 1750 the fairway, jenkintown, pa 19046) for repairs but the failure was not able to be determined. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 200.
Was traveling approximately 62 MPH I pressed the gas pedal to the floor and the power stopped from the engine and the transmission down shifted causing a loud thud noise in the dash board area. The vehicle never increased speed it dropped down to approximately 50 MPH until I exited, upon exiting I came to a complete stop and restarted the vehicle. When accelerating the dash board now vibrated at approximately 5000 RPM. I took the vehicle to the dealer paddock chevrolet. Driving in the vehicle with the service representative roland we were able to recreate the secondary vibration. The dealer said there are no codes for the loss of power. I left the vehicle at paddock and it is there now. Gm has been non-responsive case # 8-3183509862. I have been in high-speed accidents before and am deeply afraid to drive this vehicle with out knowing why there was power loss and when it will happen again.
