Power train, axle assembly, axle shaftMar 31, 2014
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2013 and 2014 Chevrolet Cruze vehicles equipped with a 1.4L turbo engine, and manufactured between November 28, 2012, and March 7, 2014. On the affected vehicles, the right front half shaft may fracture and separate.
If the half shaft fractures and separates while driving, the vehicle would lose power and coast to a stop. If a vehicle with a fractured half shaft is parked without the parking brake applied, the vehicle could move unexpectedly. Either condition increases the risk of a crash.
GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the right half shaft, as needed, free of charge. Parts for the remedy are not currently available. GM will send an interim letter to owners in May 2014. A second owner letter will be mailed when parts are available. Owners may contact Chevrolet at 1-866-694-6546. GM's number for this recall is 14079. This is an expansion of recall 13V-452. NOTE: Some vehicles subject to this recall were subject to the recall campaign initiated in 2013. Some of those vehicles were repaired using defective parts. Those owners will be advised that they must have their vehicles remedied again under this campaign and that having the earlier recall completed did not remedy their vehicles.

Power train, automatic transmissionFeb 21, 2014
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2014 Buick Regal, LaCrosse, Verano, and Enclave, and Chevrolet Impala, Malibu, Cruze, and Traverse, and GMC Acadia vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions. In the affected vehicles, the transmission shift cable adjuster may disengage from the transmission shift lever. As such, these vehicles do not conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 102, "Transmission Shift Lever Sequence, Starter Interlock, and Transmission Braking Effect." They also fail to conform to FMVSS number 114, "Theft Protection and Rollaway Prevention."
If a vehicle's shift cable disengages from the transmission shift lever, a driver may be unable to shift gear positions and the indicated shift position may not represent the gear position the vehicle is in. Should a disengagement occur while the vehicle is being driven, when the driver goes to stop and park the vehicle, the driver may be able to shift the lever to the "PARK" position, but the vehicle transmission may not be in the "PARK" gear position. If the vehicle is not in the "PARK" position there is a risk the vehicle will roll away as the driver and other occupants exit the vehicle or anytime thereafter. A vehicle rollaway increases the risk of injury to exiting occupants and bystanders.
General Motors will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace any affected transmission shift cable adjusters, free of charge. The recall began on April 10, 2014. Chevrolet owners may contact General Motors at 1-800-222-1020, Buick owners at 1-800-521-7300, and GMC owners at 1-800-462-8782. General Motors' number associated with this recall is 14048.

If the half shaft fractures and separates while driving, the vehicle would lose power and coast to a stop. If a vehicle with a fractured half shaft is parked without the parking brake applied, the vehicle could move unexpectedly. Either condition increases the risk of a crash.
General Motors has notified owners. Dealers will replace the half shaft assembly, free of charge. The safety recall began on October 15, 2013. Owners may contact General Motors at 1-800-521-7300. This is General Motors campaign number 13276.

WHILE DRIVING LONG DISTANCES ON STRAIGHT HIGHWAYS THE STEERING WHEEL BECOMES EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO TURN. GM ISSUED A SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT #14232A FOR POWER STEERING STICK-SLIP THAT LISTS 2011-2014 CHEVROLET CRUZE MODELS, BUT WHEN GM SEARCHES THIS SPECIFIC VIN IT DOES NOT LIST AN AVAILABLE SERVICE BULLETIN. CONTACTED GM TO HAVE THE VEHICLE REPAIRED PER THE SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT BUT WAS INFORMED THAT IT WASN'T COVERED PER THE VIN SEARCH. ALL THE CRITERIA MATCH THE BULLETIN (YEAR, MAKE, MODEL, TIME AND MILEAGE) AND THE KNOWN SAFETY DEFECT BY GM , AND SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE ABOVE-MENTIONED SERVICE BULLETIN.

THE STEERING WHEEL STICKS WHEN I AM DRIVING. IT'S EXTREMELY NOTICEABLE WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY OR MAKING TURNS. THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM COMES ON AND OFF WHEN THE VEHICLE IS OPERATIONAL. ALL OF A SUDDEN MY RADIO WILL GO ON AND OFF AND THE AIR CONDITIONER AND THE HEATER WILL STOP WORKING. I HAVE 5 CHILDREN AND 3 STILL AT HOME AND I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR BUT UNFORTUNATELY IT'S ALL WE HAVE.

THE WATER PUMP IN MY 2014 CHEVY CRUZE . STARTED TO LEAK. WHEN I TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE THEY SAID IT AND THE THERMOSTAT AND THERMOSTAT CASING HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 51,000 MI. I FOUND A BULLETIN #14371 B DATED JAN.2015 THAT EXPLAINS A SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT FOR 2011-2014 CRUZES THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT WAS ONLY FOR 1.4L ENGINES NOT MY 1.8 L ENGINE SO IT ISN'T COVERED. I HAVE FOUND OTHER 1.8L CRUDE OWNERS ON LEMON LAW SITES THAT ALSO CLAIM PROBLEMS WITH THE WATERPUMPS.

WHILE DRIVING TO WORK ON A BUSY HIGHWAY HEADING TO DANVILLE VA WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT IS AROUND 55 TO 60 MPH DURING A WINTRY MIX STORM THE DRIVER SIDE WINDSHIELD WIPER STOPPED WORKING MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE. ON VARIOUS WEB SITES THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES. THUS FAR UPON MY RESEARCH THERE ARE VARIOUS CAUSES FOR THIS TO OCCUR BUT THE ONE THAT I KNOW ITS NOT IN MY CASE IS THAT I HAVE BAD WIPERS.THESE WIPERS WERE JUST RECENTLY REPLACED.

THE INTAKE MANIFOLD DESIGN ON THE TURBO ENGINES ARE FAULTY AND FAIL EVERY 40,000 MILES OR SO. GM IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND YET THERE IS NO ATTEMPT TO REDESIGN THE INTAKE MANIFOLD. THE CHECK VALVE IN THE INTAKE MANIFOLD IS WHAT FAILS TO WORK. THE CHECK VALVE STOPS SEALING AND EVENTUALLY DISAPPEARS CAUSING A LEAK. THERE IS EVEN A BULLETIN DESCRIBING THE ISSUE BUT YET NO FIX BY GM. WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO FORCE GM TO FIX THEIR FAULTY DESIGNED PRODUCT?

I HAVE A 2014 CHEVY CRUZE LS, 115,000 MILES AND PROPERLY MAINTENANCED. AFTER HITTING 100,000 MILES THE VEHICLE SEEMS TO BE COMPLETELY FALLING APART. RECENTLY HAD TO REPLACE THE OIL COOLING SYSTEM DUE TO IT BEING CRACKED. AFTER THAT WAS FIXED MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. COME TO FIND OUT THE ENTIRE INTAKE MANIFOLD NOW NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. AFTER THAT ISSUE IS RESOLVED, MY STEERING WHEEL IS NOW STICKING DEAD CENTER WITH A LACK OF MOVEMENT WITH TURNING.

PROBLEM NO.1, MY CRUZE HAS LOST POWER, THE HEATER PUTS OUT COLD AIR, THE RADIATOR IS LOSING FLUID, THE ENGINE HAS STARTED TO OVER HEAT, AND THERE IS WET SPOT UNDER THE EXHAUST PIPE WHEN I IDLE THE ENGINE! THAT MEANS MY CAR HAS ETHER A BLOWEN HEAD GASKET OR CRACKED HEAD! THE CAR HAS LESS THEN 85,000 MILES AND IF THE HEAD IS CRACKED, I THINK I KNOW WHY BECAUSE GM DECKED THE BLOCK THE SHORT-WAY CENTER OUT TO THE ENDS! WITCH CAN LEAVE A VALLEY IN THE CENTER OF THE BLOCK! THEY MADE THE SAME MISTAKE WITH THE GRAND AM QUAD-4! THE HEAD ALL CRACKED BETWEEN CYLINDERS 2 AND 3 BECAUSE THE BLOCK WASN'T DECKED SQUARE! I HAVE TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER ON SAT 12/29/18 WISH SOMEONE WOULD CHECK THE BLOCK, I KNOW THE DEALER WILL TRY TO BLAME MY AND TO MAKE ME PAY FOR SOME OR ALL OF IT, EVEN THOUGH IT IS SILL UNDER WARRANTY! PROBLEM NO.2, I PURCHASED A NEW CHEVY CRUZE ECO WITH A MANUAL TRANSMISSION 4 YEARS AGO, I GOT IT BECAUSE I WANTED A HIGH MPG CAR AND I HAVE BEEN DRIVING STANDARD TRANSMISSION SINCE I STARTED DRIVING AND I KNEW I COULD BETTER MILEAGE THEN RATED (65.5 MPG MY BEST SCORE!), BUT THE SHIFTER HAS TO MUCH SLOP IN IT, I HAD A CUTLASS WITH A HURST SHIFTER THAT WAS 16 INCHES TALL AND USED THAT HAD LESS SLOP! I HAVE COMPLAINED TO DEALER ABOUT IT SINCE THE DAY I GOT CAR! THREE TIMES I HAVE PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN BOTH FIRST AND THIRD GEAR AT THE SAME TIME! I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MANY TIME I HAVE MISSED THE SHIFT WHILE STILL HOLDING ALL THE WAY IN POSITION! IF I AM IN A HURRY I CAN'T FIND THE GEAR AT ALL! PROBLEM NO.3, THE HYDRAULIC THROW-OUT BEARING IS SLUSHY AND SLOW. BECAUSE THE MASTER-CYLINDER AND FEED-LINE IS TO SMALL! I AM A FAST SHIFTER, AND I CAN OUT SHIFT THE CLUTCH! THAT IS BAD BECAUSE THE PRESSURE PLATE DOESN'T CLOSE FAST ENOUGH IT CAUSES EXCESS WARE AND BURNING OF THE CLUTCH!

VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING SEVERE ISSUES WITH THE POWER WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS I HAVE BEEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE VEHICLE WILL ALL OF A SUDDEN, WITHOUT WARNING SHUT DOWN MULTIPLE ESSENTIAL COMPONENTS - INCLUDING POWER STEERING, HEADLIGHTS, RADIO WILL GO IN AND OUT, DISPLAY SCREEN WILL GO OFF, TURN SIGNALS, ETC. PRETTY MUCH ANYTHING THAT TAKES POWER WILL FAIL. HOWEVER THE VEHICLE WILL STILL REMAIN ON (AND NOT IN AUX MODE) AND ACCELERATION WILL NOT BE AFFECTED. AROUND THE TIME THAT THESE ISSUES BEGAN A WARNING LIGHT FOR STABILITRACK CAME ON THE DASH BOARD AND SEVERAL MORE WARNING LIGHTS HAVE COME ON SINCE. THIS HAS OCCURRED WHEN VEHICLE HAS BEEN ON CITY STREETS AND FREEWAY INCLUDING AS I HAVE BEEN NEGATING A TURN.

TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE I'VE SEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS ONLINE AND I THINK THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL BECAUSE IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD TO NOT HAVE THE DRIVER SIDE WIPER BLADE OPERATIONAL. THE CAR WAS STATIONARY. BUT IT WAS A RAINY DAY AND I HAD TO DRIVE TO WORK WITH NO WIPERS. BY THE GRACE OF GOD MY WORK IS LITERALLY THREE MINUTES FROM HOME. AND MY SON IS A MECHANIC AT A CHEVY DEALERSHIP SO I WAS ABLE TO HAVE THE PROBLEM FIXED IN A FEW DAYS. BUT I'M SURE THERE ARE QUITE A FEW PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT SO LUCKY THAT ARE STUCK WITH THIS PROBLEM.
