“Around november 29, 2014 I was driving the 2015 chevy cruz while out of town driving on the highway going around 55 miles I was pulled over by a police reporting that I was driving 75 miles, but when I slightly hit my brakes to slow down the car didn't change its speed. Based on the police's report of the speed he reported me going the odometer reading is wrong or set too high in this vehicle and will cause accidents if not fixed. …”
NHTSA complaint #10676538, filed 2015-01, 300 miles“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. …”
NHTSA complaint #11344009, filed 2020-08, 83,000 miles“While at a stop light, the car started jerking back and forth. Traction control warning came on. Took to dealership they changed out battery. Next day, the same thing happens; while stopped with foot on the brake the car started jerking back and forth. This time no traction control warning.”
NHTSA complaint #10928453, filed 2016-11, 25,350 miles“When the care is running it will begin to lose acceleration this happens unknowing to me .it has happened on the freeway which is very scary and dangerous”
NHTSA complaint #11377801, filed 2020-12, 110,880 miles“I am not complaining about an safety incident. I'm complaining about Chevrolet's handling of a potential safety issue. I received a letter advising of a possible issue with the accelerator pedal, that it may break rendering the car unusable. Chevy explicitly says not to bring the car to a dealer for repairs, but instead, they will extend the warranty on that part, and cover the repair if it fails. Something of this serious and debilitating a nature should be fixed under recall, in my opinion. I will submit the letter I received for your review.”
