“Fuel inectors: at times it seems the car gets sluggish, and fights to get gas to the injectors. At times, there isn't enough power to keep the car going. My car was on an open highway when I experienced this issue.”
NHTSA complaint #11337052, filed 2020-07, 135,097 miles“Vehicle purchased under 1 month ago with 15k miles on it. Vehicle was stationary at a red light with auto stop engaged, I attempted to accelerate as light turned green; auto stop attempted to turn on, then seemingly failed and vehicle completely shut off. Required me to put vehicle in park, then turn key so ignition was off then back on again, vehicle came back on with no issues and I drove away. Outside temperature was 109 f, and this occured at the end of my 25 mile drive home from work using mostly surface streets.”
NHTSA complaint #11245349, filed 2019-08, 16,000 miles“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. …”
NHTSA complaint #11132076, filed 2018-09, 22,252 miles“When it’s cold outside the air induction signal comes on and comes off. This is the second time I had this service within a year. Mechanics advised me that there is nothing wrong with my vehicle and drives smooth that the code P1101 maybe a recall because they have been seeing it much frequent on Chevy Cruze 2017,2018”
NHTSA complaint #11628906, filed 2024-12“There has not been any specific incident, but I have noticed a gasoline odor while driving my car. The smell is particularly strong when I open the trunk.
