WHILE MANEUVERING OUT OF A TIGHT PARKING PLACE (REVERSE THEN FORWARD), THE CAR HAD A SUDDEN COMPLETE LOSS OF BRAKING ASSIST. THIS REQUIRED A VERY HIGH AMOUNT OF FORCE TO STOP THE VEHICLE.

Service brakes, Jun 16, 2017
WHEN PUTTING MY 2012 CHEVY CRUZE INTO REVERSE TO BACK UP, THE BRAKES DO NOT SEEM TO WORK PROPERLY - THE CAR DOES NOT STOP UNTIL I PRESS ON THE BRAKE VERY HARD. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING MORE OFTEN NOW THEN BEFORE - ALMOST EVERY TIME IN CAR, MAKING DRIVING/PARKING BACKING OUT OF PARKING LOT, VERY UNNERVING. THIS IS ON LEVEL GRADE - NOT ON A HILL. I'VE ALSO NEED ON-LINE THIS WAS PART OF A MAJOR RECALL, BUT WHEN CONTACTED CHEVROLET HQ, THEY SAID THAT THIS WAS NOT AN ISSUE FOR MY VIN. I'M SURE THEY WOULD CHANGE THEIR MIND JUST SITTING IN MY CAR ONCE. THIS SHOULD BE CORRECTED BY CHEVROLET AT NO COST - AND/OR BE PART OF THE RECALL.

I OWN AND DRIVE A 2012 CHEVY CRUZE LS. I AM 87 YRS. YOUNG AND FORTUNATELY ABLE TO DRIVE BACK & FORTH FROM NY TO FLA. WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF AUTO TRAIN IN VA. FOR THE LONGEST TIME I HAVE FOUND THAT AFTER ON THE ROAD FOR A SHORT WHILE, I WOULD SMELL RUBBER/FUEL BURNING AND BLAMING IT ON A TRUCK OR VEHICLE AHEAD OF ME OF ENGINE PROBLEMS, THEREFORE I WOULD CLOSE THE CABIN VENT, FORGET ABOUT IT, WHICH WAS A ROUTINE EVENT...THEN MY SON DROVE MY CAR AND HE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE.. NOW, AFTER A SHORT DRIVE, A MILE OR SO, THAT SMELL COMES THRU THE VENTS WHETHER OR NOT THE HEATER OR A/C IS ON. I'VE GONE TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP (MANFREDI CHEVY DEALERSHIP OF STATEN ISLAND, NY) & THEIR MECHANIC DIDN'T DETECT A SMELL BUT BLAME IT ON SOMETHING ELSE LIKE A CLOGGED A/C VENT AND CHARGED ME BIG MONEY. THEIR MECHANIC DIDN'T TRY TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I AM NOT STUPID OR SENILE. MY NEIGHBOR AND OTHERS CAN SMELL THE 'BURNING RUBBER' SMELL ESPECIALLY WHEN USING THE HEATER, WHICH I'VE HAD TO USE ONLY IN EXTREME COLD WEATHER WITH THE VENTS CLOSED. MY FEAR IS AN ENGINE FIRE. I HAVE CALLED & EMAILED GM AND ACCORDING TO THE VIN #, THERE IS NO ISSUE FOR A RECALL WITH THAT CRITERIA, ETC. YET, I GO ON LINE AND THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF OTHER OWNERS WITH THE SAME MODEL & YEAR THAT HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. SOME FLUID IS LEAKING ON A HOT ENGINE AND BURNING CREATING THE SMELL. MY CHILDREN HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND HAVE COME UP WITH THE SAME COMPLAINTS AND GM DENYING THERE'S A PROBLEM. I ONLY HAVE 15,000 PLUS MILES ON THAT ENGINE...STILL LIKE NEW. I HOPE TO KEEP AND DRIVE IT FOR AS LONG AS GOD LETS ME. I HAVE 11 GRANDCHILDREN & 7 GREAT GRANDCHILDREN...AND ONE OF THEM WILL INHERIT THIS CAR. I'D APPRECIATE ANY ASSISTANCE OR INFO ON MY ISSUE. THANK YOU

I BELIEVE THE GM RECALL 25302 ON CHEVROLET EQUINOX VEHICLES SHOULD BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE THE CRUZE MODEL. I OWN EACH OF THESE MODELS AND HAVE NOT HAD AN ISSUE YET ON THE EQUINOX, BUT THE CRUZE HAD TO HAVE WIPER BALL JOINT REPLACEMENT THAT IS EXPLAINED IN THIS EXISTING RECALL. PLEASE CONSIDER EXPANDING THIS RECALL TO INCLUDE ALL MODULES OF CHEVROLET THAT UTILIZE THIS SAME WIPER BALL JOINT BECAUSE THIS DESIGN FAULT EXISTS ON THE CRUZE MODEL AS WELL. MY CRUZE WAS FIXED AT A GARAGE THAT IS NOT CHEVROLET DEALER AFFILIATED, SO I'M NOT SURE HOW THE NHTSA TRACKS THESE TYPES OF ISSUES. THE ISSUE WITH THE CRUZE WAS THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE WIPER BLADE WAS NO LONGER MOVING, THE BALL JOINT WAS BROKEN AND NO LONGER FUNCTIONING AND HAD TO BE REPLACED.

IN MOTION, AFTER ROUGHLY 50-100 FEET, THERE IS A SINGLE "TWANG" SOUND UNDERNEATH THE FRAME. I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS, BUT I CALLED GM, BUT THEY NEVER HEARD OF SUCH AN INCIDENT...I'M NOT COMPLAINING, I'M JUST NOTIFYING NHSTA... ON THE "CALENDAR" SECTION OF THE WEBPAGE, IT ASKS, "WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN?" I PUT IN TODAY, BUT IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME THAT I DRIVE THE CAR (IT'S A GOOD CAR; I JUST WANT TO KNOW IF THERE IS SOMETHING LOOSE, OR SOMETHING ELSE...)

DRIVING A N 80WEST AT 65MPH, LIGHT COMES ON AND SAYS TRANSMISSION HOT/IDLE ENGINE I PULLED AND LET CAR COOL FOR 30 MINUTES. LIGHT GOES OFF AND I PROCEEDED TO DRIVE AGAIN. AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 15 MINUTES, CAR STARTED ACCELERATE AT A FAST PACE. I PULLED OVER TO SHOULDER AGAIN AND AND WAS TOWED TO GRAY CHEVROLET IN STROUDSBURG, PA. THEY TRIED TO DIAGNOSE PROBLEM BUT SAYS IT NEVER HAPPENED WHEN THEY DROVE THE CAR. I NOW HAVE TO NOW DRIVE MY CAR HOME NIT KNOWING WHAT HAPPENED TO THE CAR AND IF ITS GOING TO DO IT AGAIN. THEY GAVE ME A LOT OF REASONS WHAT IT COULD BE BUT COULDNT PROVE IT. SO IT WAS RELEASED BACK TO ME.
