2012 Chevrolet Cruze owner complaints

feel like it downshift first really fast before going in 5 th gear. Feel like you’re going to fly out the windshield. If seatbelt wasn’t on you would get whiplash. When driving in automatic it go in limp mode. burning oil. Now

When car is shifted into park, after shutting the car off the dic states "shift car into park". I push up on the gear shifter then the dic screen will go off and car seem to be into park.

On multiple occasions while car is driving, check engine light turned on and car was unable to accelerate. (also happened once after car had been parked) it only lasts about an hour before car can accelerate again and then check engine light will eventually turn off. Also, car feels rough shifting between gears and has trouble accelerating often.

As I was driving downhill from flagstaff to phoenix, arizona, I noticed my car wasn't accelerating the way it should. So, I was driving from a 7000 feet elevation to a 2000 feet elevation on steep hills not understanding why I didn't have full control over my car. It was scary to say the least. I brought my car to my Chevy dealer 3 times before it finally did this and it finally gave out on me 2 days after the warranty expired. I went to the dealer 3 times to fix the issue until my transmission finally decided to give out on me. And now Chevy is saying that they can't help me at all.

Driver side windshield wiper becomes detached from wiper transmission when driving at highway speeds and simultaneously using windshield wipers. This poses significant danger because visibility is drastically reduced in rainy or snowy conditions. Car lurches forward when at a stop and transmission is in drive. *tr

My passenger side windshield wiper stopped working.I was trying to make it a few days until I could afford to fix my passenger wiper and my driver side stopped working on my way to work on the highway while I was in motion. When this happened I had to hang my head out the window to see where I was driving until I could get to a safe location to pull over.

While driving on the nys thruway at 5:30 a.m. Through light snow and resulting salty road-spray from other vehicles, the driver's side wiper stopped working without warning. The passenger side continued to work. I pulled off the nys thruway to try to see if I could get the wiper moving again by lowering it from a 90-degree upright position in which it was stuck, to the resting position. I tried the wipers again and the driver's side went up about six inches and stopped. Triple a came and flatbedded my car to a dealership where it was determined the wiper transmission had gone bad and needed to be replaced. This car is 2 years old, and the windshield was always cleared of heavy snow/ice before using the wipers--wipers weren't used to remove snow. Other cruze owners have posted same issue w

Was driving when the wiper transmission failed. Was able to rig it so I could continue to drive. Stopped at dealership they said 7 weeks for the part. Was able to obtain from a dismantler. The Chevy cruze forum says this is a common problem. *tr

I just want to start off by saying we purchased this car brand new from kocourek Chevrolet in wausau, wi. Dec 2012 or jan 2013 bumper fell off within 3 months of purchase while driving. Yes, fell off. The dealership where we purchased the car hesitantly replaced it as the clips were broke off. Dec 2012 trunk button does not work properly - has been replaced multiple times (by kocourek). And not it has recently once it opens, it will not close despite being slammed shut 8 to 10 times. Oct 2012 had an antifreeze leak from day one - dealership tells us they can't find anything even when pointed out. I go though a gallon of dexos antifreeze every 2 weeks. But as the dealership says, that's fine and normal.... Um... Not to me!!!! Jan 2018 - the car stalls out constantly - reduced engine pow

Ac off due to high temp, thermostat replaced 2014. Ac off due to high temp again, thermostat replaced may 20, 2015.. Dec 27th, 2015 ac off due to high temp again- car overheated in 10 degre weather. Thermostat being replaced for the third time!! *js

My 2012 Chevrolet cruze starting in september this year 2015 the car had 75,000 miles on it when it started with the dash lights, fan, radio and display all randomly shutting off and turning on. Sometimes when this happens the stabilitrack display will come on and this can happen at anytime but usually when the car is going slow or stopped, I first noticed it when applying the breaks. This however is not the extent of it as now when I shut the car off it has kept my keys and would not start either. Eventually when this has happened fortunately it came back to life and displayed a theft protection display. I called the local gm dealer who services my car and I was told they have never heard of such a problem however when I go online there are dozens if not hundreds of complaints related

Catalayic converter plugged at 82000 miles which caused engine knock noise

I bought my car in 2015, it is a 2012 Chevy cruze eco. I've had to replace the camshaft cover(pcv) 2 times in a year due to the gasket being crap and causing horrible oil leaks! Here I am again, changed it and it is again faulty and leaking oil. This needs to be warranty and covered by gm. I've already had to do the water pump myself because they wouldn't fix the water pump at any dealer. This is an ongoing issue with the oil leak, and needs to have a recall too fix anything, causing this problem.

I was at a red light and when the light turned green, I was about to push the gas pedal. The vehicle dash read engine power is reduced and shut off. I tried several times to start the vehicle but it shut down saying the same thing on the dash. I'm afraid because someone could have ran into me from the rear and I have a 7yr old daughter. I think this should be handled immediately. This is not safe at all. *tr

The vehicle has hail damage which caused it to become a salvage title water pump leaking antifreeze which has a recall on it and Chevrolet will not honor recall only have 112000 miles on the vehicle I kept the car instead of selling it to the insurance company I have put about $4000 in repairing turbo charger manifold radiator and line manifold and the list goes on.. For hail damage which made it a salvage title that I'm refused a recall

Engine loss of power and stability and traction control. The vehicle was moving and lost power and would not go above 5mph causing a safety issue on highway.

Radio is turning on and off. Stabilitytrak control light comes on power steering give out and brakes

While driving on the interstate the steering sticks. This is a safety problem since you have to overcorrect when it releases. This happens around 60-70 MPH. The car only has 4000 miles. *tr

When starting my car, my windshield wipers start going along with windshield wiper fluid coming out, my four ways start blinking, and my trunk opens up and will not shut. I have not touched anything that would cause any of this to happen. This has happened multiple times and it puts me in a huge inconvenience. I was driving today and it's 14 degrees outside, yet my car started to overheat and a warning came up on my dash saying something about the a/c being shut off due to overheating.... Why would I be using my a/c at all?

The vehicle sporadically will not stop despite flooring the brake while in reverse. Most recently, I pulled the parking brake, put the vehicle in park and then back into reverse gear. The problem corrected itself.
