In the last 4 months my tracking control, stability traction control, and reduce engine power light stays on. I have had knock censor replaced, value covers but nothing has worked. My car constantly cuts off in in the middle of traffic and three times on the freeway at 65 miles. The car is very unsafe and yet there are no recalls on my car.

Oil leaking just below dipstick. Not from the dipstick itself but from a horizontal crease below it. Oil leaked onto heat shield and down onto exhaust. Burning smell comes through air vents making it hard to breathe in cab. Noticed this after driving on the interstate and minor city traffic.

Got the car from drivetime on 04/25/16 from drivetime in highland Indiana. Not even 30 days when I was driving to go to work something popped up on my screen saying A/C cutting off due to engine over heating. I pulled over and called aeverex and pepboys and was told to not drive the car. Aeveree donex had to have a tow company come and have the car towed which my car was in the shop for 2 to 3 days because they didnt have the part. Got my car back on 5/17/16. I have a list of things that had to be done to the car. Now the car is doing the same thing again. A/C cutting off due to over heating. Looked under the hood and the coolant is leaking and the reservoir is empty. It didnt give off no noticed that something was wrong with this car the car. Im taking this car to the shop once again for the same problem. I looked online and come to find out the 2011 Chevy Cruze has a recall on the Cruze due to coolant leaking. I also had taken it to the shop and was told it was the water pump which I already had it replaced once. I also emailed the GM and explained my issue and was told that their was no recall on my car which I find to be untrue. Something is wrong with this car. I also have the papers from pep boys on what was done the 1st time. Once I get it to the shop tommorow I will update what was done again.

After starting the vehicle and driving forward the dash screen started to show different "check" warnings. Check stability control, check power steering. The check engine light came on as so did most of the dash indicator lights. The power steering stopped and the engine temporarily quit. The engine responded again and while driving the dash went dark and the car died. I had to turn the ignition off and restart the car. This is the third time this has occurred. The last event was while driving through a parking lot.

2011 Chevy Cruze transmission problem. Occasional hesitation accelerating, clunking jerking transitioning through gears accelerating or slowing down while driving on city streets and highway. Tried to accelerate on highway and car took a long while to get up to speed while other cars behind me were honking horns for me to speed up. Dealer says all is fine and that's just how the transmission and turbo engine is! can never duplicate this problem. Now no longer under warranty, the dealer is willing to keep the car for a longer period. GM says it would "see" what they could do after the dealer physically inspects the transmission at my cost. The dealer charges $145. Per hr. Labor rate!! I went to another mechanic and had them change the transmission fluid because the dealer said the fluid doesn't need and he said it was black! had it changed after I read complaints on carcomplaints.com. I am just afraid that it will quit on me while traveling at high speed! I can't afford to spend money on a new trans if I will continue to have the same problems. GM should have a full recall on the 2011 Cruze. The car had only 29,000 mi. On it the first time I complained and now it has 69,000 and the problem manifests itself a little more frequently but not on a weekly basis. I am at my wits end and the problem is not in my head. People are in danger and GM isn't "owning" this problem. Extremely disappointed. I've maintained this vehicle faithfully with oil changes, etc. Since day one...responded to all recalls. Not going to dealer again. Always have something to repair or replace.

The car has a burning electrical smell. Sometimes we can smell the odor in the cabin, but mostly coming from the engine after we have finished driving the car and walk around the front of the car. The odor has been present since we purchased the car in November 2016.

PCV valve busted and had to have the intake manifold and valve/cam cover replaced. Bill was $1078 dollars. Only had to pay $200 dollars because dealer wanted to send parts back to GM after I asked for old parts. GM does not have a fix for why these PCV failures happen.

We will be driving and all of a sudden the car stalls out. It has been doing this for 6 months but recently it has gotten a lot more frequent and I had my battery tested and it's not that. Also, my windshield wipers work but they are stuck in the upright position. I took it to a dealer ship and they said it was the motor and it was over $300 to fix

While I was driving on the highway, a warning came on saying that my A/C was turned off because my engine was overheating and my check engine light came on. My temperature gauge was on cold. When I first took my car to the dealership, they could not figure out what was wrong. They cleared the codes and told me to come back if the warning came back on. Three weeks later, the warning came on again when driving on the highway. The first time the warning came on, I had been driving for about 6 hours. After the codes were cleared, the warning came back on when I had been driving for about 2.5 hours. In the two weeks between the warning coming back on and when I took it back to the dealership, sometimes the warning would come on right away when I turned on the car. Other times, it would take 10 mins of driving before it would come on. When I drove, the temperature gauge would fluctuate between cold and halfway between cold and hot. After fluctuating for a few minutes, it would go to cold and the warning would come on. I took it back and the dealership told me that my coolant thermostat sensor and housing needed replacing. The car had error codes P0118 and P0117. As this problem could cause my engine to overheat and it seems like it is a common problem with the Chevy Cruze, I do not understand why there has not been a recall yet. The warning occurred with a little less than 55,000 miles on the car.

Coolant leaking under pressure from water outlet & water pump. Causes check engine light to malfunction as well as engine coolant temperature sensor & radiator control temperature sensor.

Bought this car used with 51K miles a month ago. Drove great the first week, after that loses powerupon acceleration and is slow to get up to speed. While driving just now, the car was losing power so I decided to hit the gas harder and instead of going faster the the stability track light came on. I am starting to wonder if I made a bad decision purchasing this car. It had trouble going up hill on the highway last wk. This car is too compact to have speed issues.
