My check engine keeps going on and off and when comes on give out power little by little till my engine reduce power comes up and gives out and almost crashed on freeway serval times
Takata recall a few months after I purchased this vehicle the check engine light came on then it goes off the last few months it's back on and makes a noise when the air conditioning system is on.
Could push the gas pedal to the floor and it won't accelerate. Pressing the gas with normal pressure makes the RPM's increase very quickly and the car either won't accelerate or will accelerate very slowly. The engine light was on previously for two days and then shut off and hasn't come back on yet. I think it is the turbo. Unknown cause.
March 2016. Problem: Car not accelerating correctly, diagnosis: Accelerator pedal position sensor broken March 2018. Problem: Car overheating and losing power over 40mph, diagnosis: Coolant hose break May 2018. Car overheating and losing power over 40mph, diagnosis: Transmission cooler line break June 2018: Problem: Spedometer started malfunctioning and car began sputtering on highway at 65mph, diagnosis: Transmission computer (input and output sensor) fried January 2019. Problem: Cooling draining extremely fast and car making gurgling noise (at all speeds), diagnosis: Water pump break, thermostat break, serpentine belt and 5. January 2019: Problem: Oil leak, diagnosis: Timing cover gasket need replacement
For some reason when I drive my car it starts shaking sometimes it happens when I start driving or when I brake I tried to find the problem and it looks that it is the drive shaft. I though that it is something that only happened to me but I found out that there are more cars involved in that but my Chevy Cruze 2013 looks like it is not not one of those. What can I do about it ?

Vehicle shuts off while driving losing complete power and steering! so dangerous and deadly! taking the car in today, car also riding rough and misfiring. All maintenance done every 3,000 miles. This car has had one problem after another and this last one could have killed my teenager daughter! it stopped on her 5 times on the freeway!
Engine light came on, air leak came from valve cover. Apparently the cover and manifold went bad. There needs to be a recall and permanent fix on this immediately. Too many of these cars are being sold, too much money is being made not to have a fix for this. My car is 16,000 miles out of warranty. Ridiculous!
Turned onto a major highway and a code came on and then it wouldn't accelerate, made some weird clanking noise, the noise comes and goes but is loud, rpms were high. Car has been well maintained oil changes every 3000 miles. Took to independent mechanic and problem was unidentified. Calling dealership in the morning.
My check engine light turned on, so I took it in and they said the valve cover needed to be replace. The cost was $280 to replace it. When starting the car there is a loud clanking noise. This only happens when starting the car. We thought replacing the valve cover would correct this issue, but it did not. The car still has a really loud clanking noise. Once the car is moving it drives fine. (manual shift car) however our fears are that if something breaks while driving down the freeway, that it could cause engine loss or worse freeze in the middle of cars driving 75mph and cause a sever accident. Can Y'all please check into this and let me know if there has been any recalls with this issue?
Car looses speed can't give it gas has no pull! once you take it out of gear and put back in drive, works fine. Lights flicker on and off, on radio. Bought car in February with 49.000 miles on it drove to store came back out of store car was completely dead! made no sound, checked battery everything, 5 min later started rite up. This car does not feel safe to me, I wish I could return it.
My 2013 Chevy Cruze that had 80000 miles on it head gaskets are blown out along with the bolts and cooling system. Upon reviewing other complaints and speaking to others this seems to be a problem. The car had regular tune-ups and oil changes along with a engine flush. I have attached a copy of the estimate to repair the gaskets. The shop also informed me that if I wanted the coolant system fixed and it is on recall that they would fix around the coolant system...send the car to the dealership to repair the recall and send the car back to them to finish repairs. I have only had the car 4 years and when I purchased it the car only had 10000 miles and for this to happen this early in a car is a problem.
The contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Cruze. When the contact attempted to turn off the vehicle, it failed to turn off. In order to turn off the vehicle, the contact had to take the gear shifter out of the park position three times and then place it back in park. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The failure recurred numerous times. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or an independent mechanic to determine the cause of the failure. The manufacturer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 51,000.
Hello, this Sunday my 2013 Chevy Cruze while driving an alert came up saying that engine power reduced and other notices. The result was that the car lost power. Thankfully I was on a side street at the time at a slow speed. Most of my driving is on the highway and if this would have occurred at highway speeds which did occur to some people who posted on Chevy forums it could be fatal. GM will not acknowledge this issue and would not cover the cost to repair it. There are many discussions about this issue at this google search https://www.google.com/search?Q=Chevy+Cruze+throttle+body+reduced+power&oq=Chevy+Cruze+throttle+body&aqs=chrome.1.69I57J69I59J0L4.5323J0J7&sourceid=chrome&ie=utf-8 I feel like GM should take care of this and a recall should be issued so that this does not cause serious accidents for others.

The dealer says that the right cv joint is leaking. Also my steering wheel has a small catch in it when we are driving, wondering if these are related?

In park at random times the service traction control and service stabilitrak light will come on. The car is real sluggish at take of, I can not leave a stop sign with a car any less than 40-50 car links away without fear of getting hit. When the speed finally starts to pick up it shifts rough at times. The car also feels like it is jumping when in drive and holding the brake.
