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.

ALMOST CAUSING ME A HEAD ON COLLISION . ON THE HIGHWAY MY CAR DOESN'T SEEM TO HAVE THE POWER TO PASS CARS UNLESS GOING DOWN HILL. THE CARS ENGINE SPEEDS UP BUT THE TRANSMISSION DO NOT SPEED UP SO IT JUST BURNS MORE GAS. THAT I CAN NOT AFFORD ON DISABILITY.ON JUNE 8 2018 I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO WEIMER CHEVROLET IN MOOREFIELD, WV, THEY TOLD ME EVERYTHING WAS FINE GAVE ME A COPY OF THE VEHICLE INSPECTION THEY DONE. OTHER CRUZE OWNERS SAID THEY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM I TOLD THEM TO CALL GM THEMSELVES TO LET THEM KNOW OF THIS PROBLEM.

I 'M NOT SURE HOW MANY OTHERS HAVE REPORTED TO GM WITH THEIR ISSUES BUT I KNOW MINE IS FALLING THROUGH THE CRACKS. SO IF YOU CAN PLEASE HELP WITH THIS ISSUE I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IT.

FOR A LITTLE OVER A YEAR, I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE RADIO SHUTTING OFF AND ON, STABILITRAK SHOWING AS NEEDING SERVICE, THE CAR SHUDDERING, AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON. I HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR INTO A MECHANIC 3 TIMES TO DETERMINE WHAT MAY BE CAUSING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON, AND 3 TIMES THE COMPUTER SAYS AIR INTAKE. I HAVE HAD JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING CHANGED, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GOES OFF, I DRIVE FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES, AND IT COMES BACK ON. OVER $700.00 IN REPLACEMENT PARTS AND LABOR, AND STILL THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. TODAY 7/1/2018, I DROVE DOWN TO HAVE THE OIL CHANGED AND FOR THE FIRST TIME, THE ENGINE LIGHT HAS NOT COME ON, BUT NOW THE CAR DOES NOT WANT TO START AND SOUNDS LIKE THE STARTER OR THE BATTERY IS DYING. THIS IS ABOVE AND BEYOND THE MOST FRUSTRATING CAR PROBLEM I HAVE EVERY HAD, AND I CAN'T SEEM TO FIND ANYONE CAPABLE OF ANSWERING THE PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR. THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS SPRING UP IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE WHILE DRIVING IN TOWN, AND IT SEEMS TO BE OKAY FOR A FEW DAYS IF YOU MESS WITH THE BATTERY CABLES, BUT THEY HAVE ALREADY BEEN REPLACED ONCE AND THE PROBLEM IS BACK!!!

I HAVE HAD REPEATED ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH THIS CAR. IT STARTED WITH THE RADIO SHUTTING ON & OFF ON ITS OWN. THEN THE STABILITRACK STARTED FLASHING ON. THE FIRST FEW TIMES THAT WAS ALL IT WAS, BUT IN THE FALL OF 2017, THAT SENSOR WOULD COME ON & MY BRAKES & STEERING WERE AFFECTED. IN ADDITION, THE CAR WILL HAVE MOMENTS WHERE IT BLANKS OUT JUST BRIEFLY WHILE DRIVING, USUALLY NOTICED BY THE RADIO GOING OFF & ON. I HAVE ALSO HAD THE KEY GET LOCKED IN THE IGNITION. YESTERDAY, 6/17/18, I WENT TO START MY CAR IN A PARKING LOT & SEVERAL SENSORS CAME UP, BATTERY CHARGING SYSTEM, STABILITRACK, & POWER STEERING. CAR WOULD NOT START, I KEPT SHUTTING OFF THE RADIO, & IT WOULD COME BACK ON. CAR RESTED FOR 2 HOURS & THEN STARTED AGAIN. ONCE DRIVING, THE STEERING WAS NOT RIGHT. TOOK A QUARTER OF A MILE OF DRIVING BEFORE THE STEERING WHEEL DID NOT PULL 1/4 OF THE WAY TO THE LEFT ON ITS OWN. I HAVE TAKEN THIS CAR INTO THE DEALER WITH ALL OF THESE COMPLAINTS EXCEPT THE INCIDENT YESTERDAY. THEIR SOLUTION HAS BEEN NEW BATTERY AND NEW BATTERY CABLES-TWICE. IN THE FALL OF 2017, I MENTIONED SEEING SIMILAR ISSUES ONLINE & THEY DISMISSED IT. I JUST CALLED ABOUT THE 6/17/18 ISSUE & I AM GETTING THE RUN-AROUND FROM THEM.
