“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.”
NHTSA complaint #11549976, filed 2023-10, 117,557 miles“In a parking lot, going about 5mph, car suddenly accelerated out of control and went up a slope crashed into a tree stump and grazed the back of a parked car with no occupants. Air bags did not go off and I was not injured but front hood detached and I had it towed to my dealers body shop. Happened yesterday, called police but they do not come to private lots. Exchanged info with the parked car owners when they returned.”
NHTSA complaint #11281985, filed 2019-11, 17,000 miles“Multiple dash and system failures resulting in stalls and loss of steering and power. Essentially locking up. Very dangerous conditions in traffic. Most recently dash indicating anti-thief deterrent system warning. These conditions have happened over the last full year. Dealer diagnosis was nill. I have been having to review public videos for help. May or may not be a negative cable battery issue but Chevrolet has yet to recall this! I am fearing for my safety.”

In this vehicle I have been experiencing power loss while accelerating on interstate, transmission disengages and reengages and jerks very hard while trying to accelerate.

Also has no power or acceleration while A/C is on.”
